Water Entering the Basement
Here you can see exactly where water was entering the home. Previously the homeowner tried to prevent this issue by installing an extension line to guide the water away from the house. Instead, this actually brought water back into the space!
Water Damage
This is a look inside the house where the water entered.
Water Stain in Collinsville, IL
After heavy rains, this space experiences standing water in the basement. In order to permanently prevent this, Team Woods installed waterproofing products in the troubled space.
IceGuard in Collinsville, IL
First, IceGuard was installed to the exterior of the home. The IceGuard goes on the discharge line and is an escape for the water when the line is frozen or clogged. This prevents the water from coming back into the basement.
TripleSafe Sump Pump Installed
Next was the TripleSafe sump pump. This sump pump contains three pumps that ensure the pump will operate correctly. Even if the power goes out, the back up pumps are battery operated!
WaterGuard Installed on Perimeter
This WaterGuard drainage system is placed around the perimeter of the basement to guide the water to the sump pump. By guiding the water to the sump pump, this method creates a full-proof effort to stop water from entering the basement.
