Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The heart of any waterproofing system is the sump pump, because the waterproofing systems is only as good as the pump that ejects the water out and away from the basement.

To keep this Worden, Illinois basement dry all the time, Woods Basement Systems installed the TripleSafe sump pump system that addresses 3 major concerns: What if the primary pump fails?  What if it can't keep up with the flow of water from heavy rain?  What if the power goes out, or a circuit breaker trips?

The TripleSafe consists of a primary and secondary pump—in case one pump fails, the homeowner still has an operating pump—and includes a third, battery backup pumping system.

Water was severely damaging a basement wall in Worden, IL, so the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This bright, clean, and durable wall system will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will drain any wall leaks to the WaterGuard System. 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain clean and dry for years to come!

Water was entering a basement window well in Worden, IL, causing concern that it would enter the basement. To solve this issue, the SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure was installed. This system gives an attractive, bright, and clean solution that keeps rain out, prevents weeds from growing inside, and reflects natural light into the basement. This will make a dramatic difference inside and outside the home and will restore peace of mind for years to come! 

This crawl space in Anna, Illinois was a swamp.  Resting on a stone foundation, nothing separated the house above from the damp earth below except a thin plastic sheet.  This sheet had torn and uncovered much of the dirt floor.  Standing water and humidity created a musty smell that concerned the homeowner.  Woods Basement Systems installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal off the dirt floor, and the SmartSump sump pump system took care of the groundwater seepage.

This dirty, moldy crawlspace was fitted with a CleanSpace liner and a SaniDry Dehumidifier. Two of these components of the CrawlSpace Encapsulation System work together to help with moisture production and control mold growth.
