Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Flora, Illinois couple was sick and tired of dealing with leaks in their basement. In order to waterproof the space, a Woods Basement Systems team installed WaterGuard, a gutter-like drainage system placed underneath the floor at the base of the leaking walls. The basement is now protected from water and the homeowners are thrilled!

Water was leaking down the walls of a basement in Flora, IL, causing damage. To solve this issue, the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This will stop water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will drain wall leaks down to the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System, which will guide the water to the sump pump to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

This Flora, Illinois basement used to get flooded with several inches of water during thunderstorms.  The basement was damp, dark, and dirty no matter what the homeowners tried.  Since Woods Basement Systems has installed a full-perimeter waterproofing system with battery back-up sump pump, powerful dehumidifier, and basement wall system, Margie's basement is bright and dry.

Craig, Findlay, Illinois homeowner, was concerned with water leaking into his basement. The water pooled in his basement and risked damaging the items he stored there. Craig had a sump pump, but it failed to keep the basement dry. System Design Specialist Greg B. designed a solution.

In addition to WaterGuard, Team Woods installed a new sump pump system. This system was equipped with a sealed lid, so water and moisture cannot escape from the sump. This waterproofing system keeps Craig's basement dry, so he no longer fears water pooling in his basement.

Stopping all the leaks in this Fairfield, Illinois basement included the installation of our WaterGuard® drainage system and ThermalDry® wall covering for the block foundation so that the homeowner could finish the basement again...for the last time. Repairing the bowing walls were also important for the sake of the warranty and resell value!
