Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

The heart of any waterproofing system is the sump pump, because the waterproofing systems is only as good as the pump that ejects the water out and away from the basement.

To keep this Worden, Illinois basement dry all the time, Woods Basement Systems installed the TripleSafe sump pump system that addresses 3 major concerns: What if the primary pump fails?  What if it can't keep up with the flow of water from heavy rain?  What if the power goes out, or a circuit breaker trips?

The TripleSafe consists of a primary and secondary pump—in case one pump fails, the homeowner still has an operating pump—and includes a third, battery backup pumping system.

A foundation in a Worden, IL basement was bowing in, causing cracks to form and water to leak out of them. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed to permanently stabilize the foundation wall. This will eliminate any further inward movement, and reverse the effects of wall failure. It will also straighten the walls back to their original position and close the cracks to prevent water leakage. To solve the water issue, a CleanSpace Wall system was installed. This will stop water vapor from permeating the basement walls, and drain any wall leaks down to WaterGuard. This perimeter drainage system will intercept water between the floor and wall joint and drain it towards the sump system to be pumped out of the house. This basement will remain dry and stable for years to come!

Water was severely damaging a basement wall in Worden, IL, so the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This bright, clean, and durable wall system will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will drain any wall leaks to the WaterGuard System. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain clean and dry for years to come!

Water was entering a basement window well in Worden, IL, causing concern that it would enter the basement. To solve this issue, the SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure was installed. This system gives an attractive, bright, and clean solution that keeps rain out, prevents weeds from growing inside, and reflects natural light into the basement. This will make a dramatic difference inside and outside the home and will restore peace of mind for years to come! 

A porch in Worden, IL, was dealing with large gaps in between the wall and floor. To solve this concern, Woods used NexusPro™. This flexible sealant will not only stand the test of time, but also against any harsh weather conditions the homeowners may receive. Now that the gap has been sealed, the homeowners can rest assured that their porch is in great shape!
