Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Heavy Rain Causes Leaky Basement in Gillespie, IL
In Gillespie, Illinois homeowners Bradley and Charles B. were dealing with a wet unfinished basement. During the spring and winter months the space would leak at the floor/wall crack, as well as through the door at the bottom of the staircase leading outside. Unable to use the space for storage or living space, Bradley made the call to Woods Basement Systems. Foreman Gage Kile and his team installed a waterproofing system to keep the basement dry for years to come. At the bottom of the basement, the team installed a TrenchDrain. To solve the leaking at the floor/wall joint our team installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard captures water seepage through walls and leaks along the wall/floor joint. Once the waterproofing system was installed, Bradley and Charles were happy with the work done in the home.
