Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Makeover in Glen Carbon, IL

This Glen Carbon, IL resident was having almost every kind of water problem imaginable in his basement. His window wells were leaky, there were large cracks in his walls, his sump pump was unreliable, and he didn’t have a proper waterproofing system. His basement would flood during heavy rains, and he was tired of having to deal with that problem. Woods Basement Systems gave his basement a complete waterproofing makeover by installing WellDuct, UltraSump, and WaterGuard.

Discolored Walls

The window wells were leaky, resulting in discolored walls and a wet basement during heavy rains.

Old, Leaky Window Replaced

Woods replaced the old, leaky window with a new EverLast window to prevent water from coming in.

EverLast Window

EverLast windows are easy to open, have an airtight seal, and keep out bugs, rodents, and other outdoor elements.

WaterGuard Installation

WaterGuard is installed along the inside perimeter of the basement.

All Foundation Types

The WaterGuard system can be installed with all types of foundations including block, poured concrete, and stone.

Easily Installed Around Objects

It can also easily be installed around obstacles, such as pipes or water heaters.

WaterGuard Does Not Clog

WaterGuard is a piping system specifically designed to solve basement water problems without the worry of clogging pipes.

Wall Flange

It has large holes in the back, and a special wall flange with segments for water to enter through.

WaterGuard Sits on Top of Footing

WaterGuard is engineered not to sit in the dirt, so clogging from silt and sediment under the floor isn’t something the homeowner has to worry about.

Clean Stone Around WaterGuard

Clean stone is placed around the WaterGuard after it is installed to help the water flow to the drainage system.

WaterGuard Permanently Waterproofs

WaterGuard is the best solution to permanently waterproofing a basement.

Easy Installation

WaterGuard can also easily be installed through doorways, such as in this photo.

WellDuct

The WellDuct window well drainage system is a proven solution for leaky windows.

WellDuct & WaterGuard

WellDuct is specifically engineered to work with WaterGuard and drain any water leakage into the WaterGuard system.

Window Well Cleaned Out

The window well is cleaned out on the outside and filled with clean stone and a grate. This allows the water to drain out of the well and through a small hole that is drilled in the wall to the inside just below the window sill.

Replacement Window

The water runs down inside the WellDuct track to the WaterGuard system, where it is carried to the sump pump and taken out and away from the home.

Finished Window

A new and clean window well helps keep the basement dry during heavy rains.

UltraSump Installation

The UltraSump is an extremely reliable sump pump with a battery-operated back up pump.

UltraSump

If the primary pump fails because the water level is too high or power is lost, the second pump will automatically kick on. The resident can have peace of mind knowing the basement will stay dry, no matter what the situation.
