Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Springfield, Illinois homeowner was having issues with water coming in from behind some wooden paneling in his basement. Because he used the space as a work area, the constant leaks were a big problem for him. A Woods Basement Systems team, after cutting away parts of the paneling, installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all leaks. 

There are several things that can be done outside to help protect the basement from leaks and floods. The most obvious of these things is to make sure the ground pitches away from the home, forcing water to flow away from the house rather than against it. 

Another option is to extend rain gutters and downspouts. This will collect the water and direct it further from the home. This was done for Sharon T. in Springfield, IL. as an extra measure to keep water away from the home's foundation.

Michael B. was able to install an underground line that connected to the downspout and carried water further away from the home. When he was done installing the pipe, he replaced the turf to hide the line from sight. Now the home has that extra layer of water protection outside without ugly pipes and extensions sitting on top of the yard.

A basement window was leaking water in Springfield, IL, and the water was pooling onto the floor. To solve these issues, a WellDuct was installed. This will drain water from the window well and into the WaterGuard System, which will guide it to the sump system which will pump this water out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Water was seeping into a basement in Springfield, IL. It was entering where the wall and floor meet, causing damage and concern. 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 thanks to these systems!

Ben B. of Hoyleton, Illinois needed waterproofing work done in his home, so he called Woods Basement Systems for a solution. Systems design specialist, Luke B. recommended installing a twin pack sump pump and WaterGuard.

Foremen, Donald A installed the products. The Twin Pack sump pump includes two stainless steel pumps and can help fight against flooding and leaks. WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter of the basement floor and it helps to collect water that seeps through the walls and guides it to the sump pump to be pump out of the home. 

Now Ben B. has a watertight basement.
