Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet, Leaky Edwardsville, IL Basement Restored with TripleSafe, WaterGuard, & CleanSpace

Sharon of Edwardsville, Illinois needed a solution to prevent any more water from leaking into her basement. Over the years water leaks had created damage, and she knew that if they weren't addressed, the foundation would suffer because of it. Brian S. who is a system design specialist at Woods Basement Systems looked over the basement and designed a customized plan that would protect Sharon's basement. The products that Brian recommended were a TripleSafe sump pump, WaterGuard drains, and a CleanSpace encapsulation system. The TripleSafe sump pump would pump out all water that is collected by the WaterGuard drains, while the CleanSpace system will be placed over the damaged walls. All three of these products were installed by head foreman Frank U. and his crew of installers. Thanks to these top waterproofing products, this home will be safe and dry for many more years to come.

Replacing Sump Pump

One of the most beneficial products to invest in when waterproof your basement is a sump pump. Sump pumps are designed to collect and discard all water leaks at enter inside. This sump pump was outdated and couldn't handle the demand of water that would leak in. Team Woods would soon replace this old sump with a new TripleSafe sump pump.

Water Damaged Walls & Floor

Since the current sump pump couldn't handle the demand of water that would leak inside, you can see all of the water stains from years of build-up. If left untreated water can actually break down the structure of the basement.

WaterGuard Drainage System

The next product Team Woods will install is a drainage system to make it easier for the sump pump to collect all water leaks. This drainage system is called WaterGuard. It is a French designed system that is installed in the perimeter of the room.

Damaged Walls

The WaterGuard drains will be installed in the footing of the basement walls to collect the pesky water leaks that seep in. Most water leaks find their way inside where the walls met the floor, so WaterGuards will be able to stop the leaks in their tracks and direct them towards the TripleSafe sump pump.

CleanSpace

Mostly when you hear about CleanSpace, you think of a crawl space. CleanSpace is actually really helpful when waterproofing a basement because it protects the walls from water damage.

Damaged Walls

With CleanSpace on these walls, the vapor barrier will block out water leaks from entering inside. If any leaks seep in through the wall, the barrier will guide the leaks to the WaterGuard drains.
