Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet, Moldy Argenta, IL Basement In Need Of Waterproofing
The following album showcases the damage caused by water to an Argenta, Illinois basement. The homeowner had been dealing with leaks for years, and only recently decided to take action. A Woods Basement Systems team first installed WaterGuard drains underneath the floor at the base of the walls to catch any leaks and prevent them from making it into the space. They also installed a TwinPack sump pump and connected it to the WaterGuard drains to remove all of the water from the home.
Mold And Stains
Continuous leaks led to water stains and mold growth along the walls.
