Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Total Basement Protection

When it comes to basement protection, it doesn't get much better than the systems in place in William M.'s home in Edwardsville, IL.   Cracks had formed in the foundation walls which weakened the walls and allowed water to leak into the basement. William M. took action and hired Mike B. from Woods Basement Systems to give his basement the protection it needed.    The first issue to fix was the cracked and leaky walls. Wall anchors were installed to support the wall and keep it from cracking further as well as bowing inward. But the cracks were still there, and they could potentially leak water still. So Mike B. installed CleanSpace™ water barrier on the walls. The CleanSpace™ liner is super tough and can be permanently mounted to the walls without worries of it falling down or getting torn.   The CleanSpace™ barrier channeled any and all leaks down into the WaterGuard™ drainage system at the foot of the wall. WaterGuard™ would channel this water, as well as water that rose from beneath the home, into the sump pump to be removed from the home.   The sump pump doing the removing was none other than the TripleSafe™ sump pump system. The TripleSafe™ features a main pump, a powerful backup pump and a third, battery-powered pump to keep basements dry even with lots of water flowing in. The battery backup can even keep the TripleSafe™ pumping when the power goes out!   With all these systems in place, William M. can rest easy knowing his basement is protected against water seepage and weak walls.
