Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Celeste H is worried about water leaking into her basement when it rains. To prevent this from happening, foreman Caleb L and his team installed a CleanSpace Wall to give a clean finished look to the basement walls. This will also stop water vapor from entering and will drain leaks down behind it to the WaterGuard system, which will catch, seal up, and drain away water directly to the TripleSafe sump system, which was also installed to pump out the water. This will stop water from leaking onto the floors. Celeste can now relax knowing her basement will stay clean and dry!

BEFORE: This Alton, Illinois basement was ruined due to continual, unexpected water seepage into the home.

AFTER: Woods Basement Systems installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System with a Battery Back-up System, designed to keep this basement dry all the time—even if the power or circuit breaker should fail.

Water was coming down the walls of a basement in Alton, IL, and pooling onto the floor. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, draining water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharging it from the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out, and effectively pumps out the water. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This efficient, high-capacity, dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the basement. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the TripleSafe, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will stay dry all the time!

A basement in Alton, IL was leaking during heavy rain and needed to be addressed. The homeowners decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard was used to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits horizontally on top of the soil to prevent clogging from occurring. Next, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry. 

This Alton, Illinois basement used to get water in the basement whenever it rained.  Since Woods Basement Systems installed a TripleSafe with battery backup, this basement is dry all year round!
