Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

This Flora, Illinois couple was sick and tired of dealing with leaks in their basement. In order to waterproof the space, a Woods Basement Systems team installed WaterGuard, a gutter-like drainage system placed underneath the floor at the base of the leaking walls. The basement is now protected from water and the homeowners are thrilled!

Water was leaking down the walls of a basement in Flora, IL, causing damage. To solve this issue, the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This will stop water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will drain wall leaks down to the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System, which will guide the water to the sump pump to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

A sump pump needed replacement in Flora, IL, so the WaterGuard System was installed. 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. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from common problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. 

A foundation was bowing inward in Flora, IL, causing cracks to appear and leak water. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the perimeter drainage system. Next, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and stable for years to come!

This basement in Flora, IL was leaking through the foundation walls, ruining this homeowner's furniture. The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system was installed along the walls, providing a route for leakage to drain through and be pumped from the house. Now this homeowner won't have to worry about a leaky basement or damp furniture again.
