In Oakwood, Illinois homeowner Landon H. was upset about his leaking basement. He had always used his basement to store important items and keepsakes that he didn’t have another place for in his home. After the rainy spring and summer seasons this year, water finally entered his basement. Nearly destroying all of his items he had stored, he finally decided to make the call to Woods Basement Systems to see what they could do to help.
We sent our foreman Michael Davies and his team out to the home to install our patented waterproofing system. Using several items such as; WaterGuard, IceGuard, and the TripleSafe sump pump system Landon will sure to have the driest basement on the block. Finally, Landon is able to store items in his basement without worry of damage or rainwater.
Extending the Discharge Line
The discharge line was extended away from the foundation of the home.
IceGuard
The IceGuard system allows water to escape from a sump pump discharge line if the pipe freezes or becomes blocked for any reason.
TrenchDrain
A TrenchDrain was installed in front of the stairs leading outside.
UltraSump Battery Backup Sump Pump
The UltraSump 4 Battery Backup Sump Pump System from Woods Basement Systems gives you several hours of additional protection against water damage if your primary pump fails for any reason, such as during a power outage.
