Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was seeping into a basement where the wall and floor meet in Centralia, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will now remain clean and dry for years to come!

Basement walls were cracking in Centralia, IL, causing water to leak through them and pool onto the floor. To solve the wall issue, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. 

To solve the water issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls, and drain any leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, draining water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharging it from the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out, and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry for years to come!

Homeowner Cody from Riverton, Illinois wanted to work with Woods Basement Systems to waterproof his wet and musty basement. Team Woods sent out system design specialist, Chris M., to the house to see what products would best waterproof and protect Cody's basement from water damage. After inspecting the basement, Chris recommended utilizing a WaterGuard drainage system along with a CleanSpace encapsulation system to keep the basement healthy and dry.

A crawlspace in Smithboro, Illinois, had some exceedingly high humidity that needed to be addressed. This humidity was seeping up into the home, causing issues with mold and negatively effecting the homeowner's utility bill. The homeowners had previously installed a barrier some years before, so the only install to be made was a new dehumidifier to contain the high humidity. The dehumidifier that was installed is called the SaniDry Sedona. It is specifically designed operate in crawlspaces and other areas with similar humidity levels. With this dehumidifier in place, conditions in this crawlspace are guaranteed to be dryer.

There are some bad sump pumps out there, but Darren's rectangular hole-in-the-ground really wasn't winning any beauty contests. It didn't take much convincing for Darren to upgrade to a Twin Pack sump pump. A backup pump, an airtight floor drain built into the lid, a pump stand, and a WaterWatch Alarm never sounded so good!
