Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Single sump pumps do not work well during power outages, as this Manchester, Missouri homeowner found out.  Our #1 service call issue is that after years and years of dependable pumping service, the single sump pump finally dies...usually during a thunderstorm, yikes!  Our TripleSafe® sump pump system comes with a sealed lid, high water level alarm, radon functioning floor drain, and three pumps with pump stands and battery backup.

When we installed the new sump pump in this home, we found silt/dirt in the bottom of the sump pump pit.  The pump stands within the TripleSafe® helps the pumps only pump out water and not the mud.

Water was leaking out of a foundation in Roodhouse, IL, causing damage to it. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. 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. This basement will now remain clean and dry for years to come!

Water was leaking down the walls in a basement in Fults, IL, causing mold to grow. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard system was installed. 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 separates it from the soil under the floor so it will never clog. It will also drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

This homeowner's basement in Columbia, IL had a history of leakage and lots of water damage, so the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system was installed along the foundation to collect leaking water from the walls. It is then drained to the sump pump, keeping the basement dry.

Columbia, Illinois homeowner Kendall experienced a damp and musty basement so he gave Woods Basement Systems a call. System Design Specialist Phillip H. developed a plan to correct the problems and prevent future problems. 

Foreman John C. and his crew installed the system, inclusing the WaterGuard, Cut Finish walls, and a TripleSafe sump pump. 

The TripleSafe sump pump is our surest way to a dry basement. Beginning with a Zoeller 1/3 hp pump as the primary, the sump pump then has a secondary Zoeller 1/2 hp pump. The pumps are connected to different circuits and different discharge lines, the secondary pump will only kick on when the primary pump is overwhelmed. The Triple in TripleSafe is because of our battery operated UltraSump, this pump will kick on in case of emergency or power outage. 

Kendall now has a dry and healthy basement, and with yearly maintenance included he will not have worries for years to come.
