Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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!

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.

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.
