Professional Help
This Decatur, IL homeowner decided to give Woods Basement Systems a call to see what solution would keep this dry and safe.
Water Damaged
The floors weren't the only area that was impacted by the water leaks. Water damage had also been found on the ceiling!
French Drains
In the footing of the basement, WaterGuard drains were installed to collect the potential water leaks.
Sealed
Why is cement involved? A cement layer is poured over top of the WaterGuard drains to seal the drains from possible clogging that would back up the system.
TwinPack Sump Pump
Additionally, a TwinPack sump pump was installed to pump out the leaks that the drainage system collected. The TwinPack and WaterGuards work together to get rid of all water leaks.
IceGuard Extensions
The waterproofing didn't just stop inside; Team Woods also added IceGuards to the discharge lines to prevent the lines from clogging. IceGuards are used to prevent the lines from freezing or backing up due to fallen debris.
