Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing and Wall Anchors in Champaign, IL

A Champaign, IL resident was tired of dealing with the headache of having water in his basement every time it rained. The foundation walls had cracks and were slightly bowing, which is where the water would enter into the basement. Woods Basement Systems first installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors to stabilize the walls and prevent them from cracking or bowing any further. Then they waterproofed the basement by installing WaterGuard and a SuperSump. The resident was happy with the work done by Woods and enjoyed having a dry basement all the time.

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors

The Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System consists of a heavy-duty steel anchor that is driven deep into the soil outside of the home. Steel plates are installed on the interior of the foundation walls and are connected to the anchors with galvanized steel rods.

Wall Anchors Stabilize Walls

Once installed, wall anchors hold walls in their current position without any further adjustment. They also have the ability to be tightened, allowing for possible improvement and straightening of the walls over time.

Remove Concrete

The first step to installing WaterGuard is to remove the concrete along the inside perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard sits on top of the footing rather than beside it, so it doesn’t get clogged with soil and other sediments.

WaterGuard Installation

WaterGuard has a special wall flange that creates space between the floor and the wall to drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter.

Quick and Minimal Disturbance Installation

The WaterGuard system can be used with all types of foundations including block, poured concrete, and stone. It can also be installed around objects, such water heaters.

SuperSump Installation

The SuperSump includes the most reliable pump available, a WaterWatch alarm system, and an airtight lid. It can pump up to 2,650 gallons per hour smoothly and quietly. It resists clogging and can pump up to ½” solids. The SuperSump is guaranteed to perform reliably for many years.
