Jacksonville, IL Waterproofing Done Right

Challenge

This homeowner in Jacksonville, IL was having water troubles in her basement.  Her sump pump wasn't doing a good enough job of keeping the basement dry.  Her basement flooded and damaged the floor as well as the bottoms of her walls.  Not wanting this to become a constant issue, she called Woods Basement Systems to see what her solution could be.

Solution

The homeowner ended up getting WaterGuard, a Triple Safe Sump Pump, and a SaniDry Systems installed in her home.  WaterGuard is a piping system specifically designed for any basement.  It has large holes in the back and a wall flange with segments for water to enter through.  This isn't engineered to sit in the dirt, so clogging isn't a thing to worry about.  WaterGuard can be installed with all types of foundations including, block, poured concrete, and stone.

The WaterGuard system then drains into the Triple Safe Sump Pump.  This pump is the world's most reliable pump.  This is a three pump system.  If the first pump fails, the second one automatically takes over.  If the amount of water coming in is too much for the two pumps or the power goes out, the third battery powered pump will come one.  No matter what the issue may be you can count on the Triple Safe to keep any basement of crawl space dry.

To make sure the basement stays dry, this homeowner had a SaniDry system installed.  This system dehumidifies your basement so it can stop potential mold growth and odors that could appear. It can also improve the air quality of the basement overall.  Once these three systems were put in place, the homeowner was much happier with the conditions of her basement.
