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. 

Water was leaking around the perimeter of a basement in Mount Vernon, IL, causing severe damage. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was 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.

 This basement will now stay dry all the time!
