Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A sump pump was no longer working in a Jacksonville, IL basement, so it was replaced with a TripleSafe Sump Pump. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It 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 system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This basement will now stay dry all the time!

The director of the the University of Illinois Extension in Jacksonville, IL had a major water problem on his hands. The finished basement of his building had flooded extensively and made a mess that took hours to clean up and threatened the storage and meeting areas so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

Woods installed the WaterGuard drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement. Other drainage systems are notorious for clogging because they sit either alongside of the footing or on the exterior of the foundation. WaterGuard is situated on top of the concrete footing, away from mud and debris that might clog it as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors and drains it to the sump pump for its removal.

Stephanie and Nathan B. of Jacksonville, IL were getting leaks in their finished basement. They had an exterior waterproofing system that was clogged and did nothing to stop water from getting in and damaging their carpeting and drywall so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing an interior waterproofing system.

As part of that system, Woods installed the WaterGuard interior drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is situated on top of the concrete footing of the home so it won’t be clogged by mud or plant debris as it catches water from the foundation walls and floors, before it can enter the basement, and drains it to the sump pump for removal.

A Jacksonville, IL basement was leaking water from the walls, so Woods installed the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. These pipes intercept water at the wall and floor joint of the basement and drain it towards the sump system to be pumped out. Next, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will stop water vapor from permeating the walls and will drain any wall leaks down to WaterGuard. This basement will now stay dry and clean for years to come!

A wall and floor joint in South Jacksonville, IL was leaking water, causing damage to the drywall. To solve this issue, Woods installed the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. This will successfully catch the water draining down the walls, and lead it to the sump system to be pumped out. This basement will remain clean and dry for years to come!
