Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water used to seep through the cinder block foundation in this Edwardsville, Illinois basement.  Now, the basement is equipped with a full-perimeter waterproofing system and TripleSafe Sump Pump system.

This Edwardsville, IL homeowner used to have a dusty home and has had issues with spiders in the past. You can see that before Dr. Energy Saver air sealed the rim joist in this Edwardsville, IL crawlspace and installed a complete CleanSpace Crawlspace Encapsulation System, the dirty, dusty, musty air (along with unwanted insects) infiltrated right through the floor and rim joists. Now, this crawl space is clean, dry, and protected! Look at that transformation!

It's important to ensure that once water hits the sump pump, that it will actually end up outside and not just end up back in the basement. Our IceGuard® acts as an ejection port for water to escape in case the sump pump discharge line gets clogged.  Our TripleSafe® sump pump offers three pumps with one being a battery backup to keep the basement dry all the time.  The covered lid for the sump pump also has a radon approved floor drain to properly operate for dehumidifier condensation lines.

Window well drains need to stay clog free and free flowing.  Draining a window well to daylight to a point down hill from the home is the best solution.  But what if the yard is level?  Having a clog-free interior drain is the best option, called WellDuct®.  We installed our WellDuct® on the interior basement wall to the exterior window well of this Edwardsville, Illinois home.  We drained it into a section of our WaterGuard® system and tied that into the existing drainage system that leads to the homeowner's sump pump.  To make sure a basement stays dry all the time, we recommend our upgrade sump pump system with battery backup called TripleSafe® and a perimeter WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system.

A dirt crawl space under a home can lead to unending problems. The earth has very high humidity in the soil. This water vapor moves easily into the crawl space and upwards into the house environment. Mold thrives and reproduces by producing airborne spores by the millions and some molds are toxic. Insects and critters of all kinds love the damp environment as well. The CleanSpace encapsulation system completely isolates your home from the earth. This dramatically reduces the humidity level in the air which, when combined with sealing outside air and dehumidification, will eliminate mold growth and rot from your crawl space and make the whole house a healthier environment.
