Juan Hernandez from Woods Basement Systems, Inc.

Rossville, Illinois homeowner Rebecca was troubled by water leaking into her basement. System Design Specialist Luke B. inspected her home and designed a solution to keep her basement dry. Part of the problem was that her gutters drained right at the foundation of her home. This increase in water pressure in the soil caused the water to force its way through her poured foundation.

Foreman Juan H. and his team waterproofed the basement by installing WaterGuard, TwinPack, and IceGuard. IceGuard is pictured. It is installed to the exterior discharge line to provide an escape for water in the event that the lines become frozen or clogged. Juan and his team also extended the discharge line away from her home. 

With these solutions, Rebecca's basement is dry and will stay dry.

Painting or coating an interior block foundation will only slow water from getting in to a basement.  Over time, the seepage gets in between the wall and the coating and eventually leaks in to the basement.  Our BrightWall® wall covering is a great solution for block foundation walls.  In this Charleston, Illinois home, we used installed this product in combination with our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system for a customized, effective solution.  It also gives the basement a clean, finished appearance.

As the picture shows, the drywall was also damaged by water. Kathy chose to have EverLast Half-Wall installed to restore her basement to dry and beautiful.

This Mahomet, Illinois basement was having some issues with water leaking out from underneath one of the walls. Because the basement is partially finished, the homeowner was particularly interested in solving the problem. With this in mind, she called Woods Basement Systems. A Woods team installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking wall to catch any and all leaks and prevent them from making it into the space itself. A TripleSafe sump pump was also put in place to pump all of that water out of the home. This basement is now totally waterproofed!

Adam K., Bement, Illinois homeowner, was concerned about his wet, dirty crawl space. Due to the stack effect, up to 50% of the air you breath is from your crawl space.

This St. Elmo, IL basement was water damaged to do the amount of water that would regularly accumulate into the basement.

Kevin T. of Spaulding, IL had an uneven walkway and driveway. As can be seen in the picture, the concrete slabs in the walkway had sunken away from the step. The uneven areas posed tripping hazards so Kevin called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended PolyLevel.

Woods injected PolyLevel through small holes drilled in the concrete slabs. PolyLevel is a two-part foam that expands to fill any voids below the slabs and lift and level the slabs. It’s waterproof so it won’t wash away and it’s lightweight so it won’t add more weight to the soil below, making it a much more permanent concretely leveling solution than other methods like mudjacking. It also cures much quicker, causing less down time than traditional methods like mudjacking.

This Nashville, Illinois basement was water damaged and in desperate need of protection. To solve this issue, Team Woods installed WaterGuard drains in the footing of the basement walls to prevent water from leaking in. These drains stop water leaks in their tracks and direct them towards the sump pump.

A TwinPack sump pump is just what this basement needs to waterproof the space. Previously this basement didn't have a sump pump, and now any water that leaks inside will be pumped out thanks to the TwinPack sump pump.

Foreman, Juan H. headed over to the home to do a CleanSpace Encapsulation system installation. Many homeowners are not aware of the importance of a CrawlSpace in their home. The air of the home comes from the crawl space, that is why it is extremely important to keep it clean and healthy. The CleanSpace CrawlSpace Encapsulation consists of a 7-layer liner material. The liner material goes up the walls and across the floor to completely seal it away from the earth. The CleanSpace stops all the water vapor from the walls or soil from coming in.

Thanks to the CleanSpace crawl space Encapsulation system, Kevin and Marissa D. have a clean and bright crawl space.

Part of the waterproofing system that was installed was WaterGuard, which is a drainage system that is under the concrete floors along the perimeter of the basement (as shown in the picture).

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.
