Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This finished Mt. Vernon, Illinois basement was having water leak issues. Water would stream out from behind the drywall and pool on the floor during periods of heavy rainfall. This moisture had ruined sections of drywall and damaged furniture, and the homeowner was eager to get it taken care of.

Because the basement was finished BEFORE waterproofing, sections of drywall and flooring had to be removed before work could begin. A Woods Basement Systems team first installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water. After this, a CleanSpace vapor barrier was affixed over the wall to seal out moisture. 

Before this Mount Vernon, Illinois basement had no means of protection against pesky water leaks. With the help of Team Woods, this was solved right away! One of the products used was a WaterGuard drainage system used to collect and direct water leaks towards the home's sump pump. 

Homeowners from Mount Vernon, IL had previously hired Woods Basement Systems to install a TripleSafe™ sump pump system to protect their basement from flooding. The TripleSafe™ system offers exceptional protection with its three individual pumps and specially designed sump pit liner. 

To keep this system in top condition, Ben S. performed an annual maintenance inspection. During the inspection, Ben checked each individual pump, as well as the special liner, the battery for the battery-powered backup pump, the discharge lines, and the exterior line to make sure everything worked and that there were no leaks, breaks or malfunctions in the system. Should he have come across one, Ben would have been able to fix most issues during that same visit. This could include replacing a faulty old pump with a new one so that the TripleSafe™ stays in the best possible condition at all times.

These homeowners can relax knowing that their sump pump system is in good condition and will continue to be cared for by the dedicated experts at Woods Basement Systems.

Water was leaking in a basement in Mount Vernon, IL, causing issues. To solve this issue, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from common problems with an ordinary pump. It 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 which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This basement will now remain dry and clean for years to come!
