Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Water Coming in Through Floor Eliminated with WaterGuard and CleanSpace in Divernon, IL Basement
A Divernon, IL basement was having some water and foundation issues. Water was leaking through the floor, and the foundation was unstable. To solve these issues, Woods first installed the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. These pipes intercept water at the wall and floor joint of the basement and drain it towards the TripleSafe Sump System, which was also installed to pump the water away from the house. This advanced sump pump system will remain working even if there is no power to the house, thanks to the UltraSump battery backup pumping system. Next, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed to allow water to escape if the pipes freeze over or are blocked for any reason. Then, a LawnScape Outlet was installed. This underground downspout extension for sump pump discharge lines will allow water to be drained out farther from the house. Next, a CleanSpace Liner was installed. This will stop water vapor from permeating the foundation walls and will drain leaks coming from it. Lastly, GeoLock Wall anchors and Push Piers were installed to permanently stabilize the foundation. These will also help straighten the walls back to their original position and keep them there. Thanks to these systems, this basement will continue to stay dry, clean, and stable for years to come!
