Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Tressa H. of Belleville, Illinois noticed that water was entering her home even though she already had a working sump pump. She did not want to have to clean up a mess after every storm, so she called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Brandon B. assessed the situation and decided that the best solution was to install a Waterguard drainage system and fix any cracks in the basement floor. Foreman Melvin F. then traveled to the home to get the job started. 

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was installed above the footing of the basement. After installation, it was covered with concrete. The Waterguard collects any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. It then drains the water to the sump pump.

Tressa H. no longer has to worry about her home's basement flooding. She now has a dry and waterproof home.

Joan D. of Swansea, Illinois noticed that water was collecting her home's basement after heavy rain storms. She did not want to have to keep cleaning up a mess every time it stormed, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Luke K. assessed the situation and decided the best solution was to install a Waterguard drainage system and a Twin Pack sump pump. Foreman Brett J. then headed to the home to start the job.

The Twin Pack sump pump, pictured above, removes water from the home through a discharge line. This particular sump pump is equipped with both a primary and secondary pump. If the primary pump goes out for whatever reason, the secondary pump takes over and keeps the basement dry.

Chuck from Belleville, Illinois had constantly struggled with water damage in his basement, which made him want to find a permanent solution. Foreman Melvin F. and his team installed the WaterGuard drains into the Belleville, Illinois home. WaterGuard is a french draining system installed under the flooring to collect water that seeps in. Here you can see the new drains installed next to the staircase.

This basement had a sump pump, but no means to collect the water leaks creating a musty environment. For the ultimate repair, WaterGuard drains were installed in the footing of the walls to collect water leaks and direct them to the home's sump pump. 

When purchasing a new home, it is extremely important to, among other things, have the basement inspected for cracks and leaks. Neglecting to do so can have very expensive consequences. This Belleville, Illinois homeowner found that out the hard way when his newly purchased home's basement was flooded with water the first time it rained heavily. He was now left with a huge mess on his hands, and he called the experts at Woods Basement Systems for help. A Woods team installed under-floor WaterGuard drains, a CleanSpace wall covering, and a TwinPack sump pump to keep the basement dry.
