Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water leaks can lead to damaging, costly repairs. WaterGuard drains prevent these leaks from accumulating inside by stopping the leaks at the source. This drainage system is installed in the footing of the walls to collect the leaks and direct them towards the basement sump pump. The final step to this installation process is to pour cement over the top to seal the drains from clogging. 

Homeowner Joyce G. of Sesser, Illinois was thinking about finishing her basement. She knew that before she could accomplish that she would need to waterproof the space. She had been dealing with a wet basement for over 10 years and was ready to have the problem fixed. After a recommendation from a family friend, she made a call to Woods Basement Systems. Foreman Michael Davies and his team installed a solution that would be perfect for her home. He installed WaterGuard along the floor/wall joint as well as replacing her old sump pump with our new TripleSafe System. Joyce was happy with the work done by the Woods Basement Systems team and is even having an estimate to have them finish the basement as well!

A basement in Carlyle, Illinois had some leaking water issues. To resolve this issue, Woods installed a French drain called the WaterGuard System. This system is a series of pipes that run directly below the floor and sit on top of the soil. This placement design ensures that dirt or other debris can't clog the system. The pipes then direct excess water to the nearby sump pump. Thanks to this install, this basement will remain dry for decades to come.

The previous sump pump installed in this Carlyle, Illinois basement did not have a battery backup or sealed lid to keep water vapor from escaping and causing higher humidity in the basement.  Our TripleSafe® sump pump system helps control basement humidity with its sealed lid and has a battery backup sump pump in case of a power outage.

This homeowner was referred by his sister and was trying to stop the leaking basement for years but finally called us.  He was handy so he cut out his own drywall prior to us installing our WaterGuard and would be responsible for putting it back up. Once the WaterGuard was installed and a fresh new layer of cement was laid down, he was glad not worry about replacing the drywall ever again when it got wet.
