Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was entering a basement in Chrisman, IL so a TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed to pump this water out. This system assures protection from all three problems that can occur with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a second pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Rossville, Illinois homeowner Rebecca was troubled by water leaking into her basement. System Design Specialist Luke B. inspected her home and designed a solution to keep her basement dry. Part of the problem was that her gutters drained right at the foundation of her home. This increase in water pressure in the soil caused the water to force its way through her poured foundation.

Foreman Juan H. and his team waterproofed the basement by installing WaterGuard, TwinPack, and IceGuard. IceGuard is pictured. It is installed to the exterior discharge line to provide an escape for water in the event that the lines become frozen or clogged. Juan and his team also extended the discharge line away from her home. 

With these solutions, Rebecca's basement is dry and will stay dry.

Warren and Kathy K. of Paris, Illinois were sick of their musty, wet basement. Though they had a sump pump, it was inconveintly place and their basement was still wet. 

Foreman Melvin F. installed the TripleSafe sump pump system in the corner of their basement and filled in the previous sump hole. The TripleSafe sump pump system is equipped with three pumps to ensure their basement stays dry. Additionally, it is sealed tight so no moisture escapes from the pump into the basement. Warren and Kathy can now enjoy their dry basement with no musty smell.

Warren and Kathy K., Paris, Illinois residents, were distraught when water leaked into their basement where the floor meets the wall. System design specialist Kevin E. designed a solution to keep water out of their basement.

WaterGuard was installed to guide water to the TripleSafe sump pump system and out of the home. With WaterGuard and TripleSafe, Warren and Kathy's basement will stay dry.

Wayne P. of Paris, Illinois noticed that water was collecting his home's basement every time there was a big storm. He did not want to have to keep worrying about a mess, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Brenton K. assessed the problem and decided the best option was to install a Waterguard drainage system. Foreman Ryan L. then traveled to the home to get the job started.

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was installed above the footing of the basement. It collects any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. The water is then drained to the sump pump.

Wayne P. no longer has to worry about water entering his home's basement. He now has a dry and waterproof basement.
