Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Murali K. of Mount Vernon, IL noticed water seeping into the basement and soaking the carpet. After removing some drywall and the skirting board, he found cracks in his foundation. Water was leaking in through the cracks, as well as through the joint between the foundation walls and floors, which had begun to rot the dry wall and woods frames, especially the lower half so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a basement waterproofing system.

Woods installed the WaterGuard drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard features wall flanges as well as channel holes so it can collect water to from the foundation walls and floors of the basement and drain it to the sump pump for removal. Other systems sit either along the concrete footing or on the exterior of the foundation and are notorious for getting clogged by mud and plant roots. WaterGuard sits on top of the concrete footing, away from any mud or debris that might clog it.

Mount Vernon, Illinois homeowner Linus & Wendy were tired of their cold, concrete floors in the basement. The floors were unsightly and not comforting. System design specialist Brandon B. designed a solution.

Foreman John C. installed ThermaDry Elite flooring in the shade dark. ThermaDry is waterproof and inorganic, so this couple will not have to worry about mold growth. ThermaDry Elite helps to regulate the basement temperature to create a comfortable environment.

Mike G. of Mount Vernon, Illinois needed a new sump pump, so he called Woods Basement Systems for a solution. Systems design specialist, Luke B. recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard. 

Foreman, Donald A. installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump works to protect your home with a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery-powered backup pump, so there should be no worries of the pump failing. WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter of the basement floor and it collects water that has seeped through the basement walls. It then guides that water to the sump pump to be pumped out and away from the home. 

Now Mike G. has a working sump pump.

Donella of Mount Vernon, Illinois noticed water leaks throughout her basement and needed to find a permanent fix. Woods Basement Systems solved this issue by installing WaterGuard drains around the perimeter of the basement to prevent any further water damage from accumulating.
