Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Jennifer R. of Columbia, Illinois noticed that her basement was collecting water even though she already had a working sump pump. She did not want to have to clean up a mess after every rain shower, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Jacob K. assessed the situation and decided the best solution would be to install a Waterguard drainage system and a CleanSpace Wall System. Foreman Melvin F. headed to the home to get the job started.

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement. After installation, it was covered with concrete. The Waterguard collects any water rising from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. It then drains the water to the sump pump.

Jennifer R. no longer has to worry about water seeping in her basement from the ground. She now has a waterproof and dry basement.

A Columbia, IL resident was tired of dealing with a wet basement every time it rained because her sump pump couldn't keep up with the amount of incoming water.  Woods Basement Systems replaced her old, nasty sump pump with a new TripleSafe.  The resident now happily enjoys a dry basement all the time!

Water was leaking down the walls of a basement in Godfrey, IL, causing damage. To solve this issue, a partial CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Water was leaking in a basement in Godfrey, IL, and the homeowners wanted to install a sump pump to remove this water. To accomplish this, the WaterGuard System was first installed. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design 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 everyday problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. 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 basement will now stay dry and clean all the time!

A homeowner in Godfrey, IL noticed water leaking into their basement through the walls. They reached out to Woods, and we had a solution. Our WaterGuard™ System goes along the interior perimeter and collects water seepage from the walls. It then directs the water to the nearby sump pump. Unlike other waterproofing systems, the pipes are laid above the footing to prevent the soil from clogging. Next, the team installs our TripleSafe™ Sump Pump that removes the water for good. With multiple pumps, the water stands no chance. Once installed, the homeowner can expect a dry future!
