Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These Fairfield, IL homeowners had an old, dirty sump pump that was not able to keep up with the amount of water in and around their basement. They contacted Woods Basement Systems to get an estimate on the cost of replacing the old sump pump as well as other option for waterproofing their basement.

As part of our WaterGuard waterproofing system, the customers selected the TwinPack Sump Pump with a primary and secondary pump. In case of primary pump failure, the secondary pump will kick in. Also, the pumps can work in unison in the case of a large volume of water.

These Fairfield, IL homeowners had a WaterGuard waterproofing system installed in their home. This system included the WaterGuard drainage system, a new sump pump with a primary and secondary pump, as well as the IceGuard on the exterior of the home.

The IceGuard protects the basement from sump pump overflow in the case of frozen or clogged main discharge lines. It allows the water to safely escape from the basement to the outside of the home.

A foundation in a Mason, IL basement was settling, causing cracks to appear. These cracks were also leaking water, causing mold to grow. To solve these issues, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed.  This is an economical way to cover ugly walls, stop water vapor from permeating them, and drain wall leaks. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Next, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump system to be pumped out of the house. Lastly, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation walls, straightening them to their original position and keeping them there. This basement will remain, dry, clean, and stable for years to come thanks to these systems! 

In Geff, Illinois homeowner Karen Z. was having problems in her basement. The basement in her home was unfinished, and a place that she used for storage in her home. Recently, she noticed that water had came in through the crack where the floor meets the wall. The water destroyed and damaged many items she had in storage and she wanted to have the basement fixed before it could happen again. Asking around to friends and family she was recommend Woods Basement Systems. Foreman Devan Brown and his team installed a system to keep her basement dry without worry.

Water was seeping into a basement in Oakley, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid that reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This basement will now stay dry all the time thanks to these systems!
