Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet Finished Basement Waterproofed With TripleSafe and WaterGuard
Water can wreak havoc on finished basements, soaking carpet, ruining drywall, and destroying valuables. Because of this, it is extremely important to waterproof a basement before finishing it. This Highland, Illinois homeowner, unfortunately, chose not to do this, and she ended up paying the price. Water leaking from behind her basement closet ruined her carpet and several valuables that were kept in the area. She called a Woods Basement Systems team, who then had to cut away the closet wall to gain access to the foundation wall behind. They then installed WaterGuard drains under the floor at the base of the foundation wall and a TripleSafe sump pump in the space. All of this could have been avoided if she had called Woods before finishing her basement!
Waterproofed Basement
The homeowners were happy now that their basement is dry for good.
WaterGuard System
WaterGuard was installed at the floor/wall joint of the leaking walls.
TripleSafe System
The TripleSafeâ„¢ sump pump system keeps your basement dry with triple the protection. Most sump pumps fail because of either a failed pump, a pump that can't handle high volumes of water or power failure. The TripleSafe assures protection from all three sump pump problems
