Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: WaterGuard Drainage System Protects Bethalto, IL Basement from Harmful Water Leaks

WaterGuard drains were installed in this Bethalto, Illinois basement to keep pesky water leaks out. This french drainage system is installed in the footing of the basement walls to collect and direct water leaks to move them towards the sump pump. From there the sump pump will pump the water leaks back outside where they belong. This album will show the condition of the basement before and after the new French drainage system was installed.

Standing Water Leaks

Water would leak into this basement after heavy rainstorms. To solve this issue, Team Woods sent system design specialist, Josh S., who would design a waterproofing plan to protect this basement from water damage.

Personal Possessions

This basement was used as extra storage space for this family. The continuous exposure to water leaks could potentially harm the items stored in this space.

Home's Sump Pump

The basement did have protection against water leaks because they had a sump pump system. This sump pump system is vital to pump pesky water leaks back outside, but the space was missing a way to guide the leaks towards the sump pump.

WaterGuard Drainage System

To keep water out of the basement, a WaterGuard drainage system was installed into the footing of the basement walls to collect and prevent water leaks from seeping inside the basement.

Working Together

Together the home's sump pump system will pump out all water leaks collected by the drainage system. This duo will prevent water damage from developing inside and leave the basement safe and dry.

IceGuard & LawnScape Outlet

Outside the waterproofing continued. Connected to the discharge line an IceGuard extension was installed to prevent the line from clogging or freezing. Into the yard, a LawnScape outlet was installed to direct the water that is pumped outside into the yard and away from the house.
