Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing A Basement In Springfield, IL

A basement in Springfield, Illinois, had some water seepage issues in need of repair, as well as some stability issues. Water was seeping in through the walls, as well as up through the floor. Woods came out and first installed the CleanSpace System to direct water coming in through the walls. This is a sheet of durable material that is placed directly on the walls. Next, Woods addressed the stability issues. PowerBrace System consists of zinc-plated steel beams custom fit to the basement height. They are secured to the wall and floor, and are anchored to the support beams that hold up the floor. This system can be tightened over time, allowing for adjustments to prevent wall failure. The next installation was the WaterGuard System. This system consists of specialized piping that sits directly in the floor to avoid clogging. It will direct any water seepage it finds to the sump pump nearby. The last install were discharge lines. The IceGuard is attached directly to the house and has special holes to prevent issues from frozen pipes. The last install was a LawnScape Outlet, which will release the water far from the home's perimeter.
