Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Granite City, IL had windows that let almost no light into their basement.  Our team at Woods Basement Systems installed the SunHouse Basement Window Enclosures.  The SunHouse is a new way to protect a basement window that keeps rain out, reflects natural light into the basement, and prevents weeds from growing inside.  The homeowners were ecstatic with the new additions to their basement that will keep it dry for years to come!

Water was entering a basement in Granite City, Ul, and the sump pump was falling to remove this water. to solve these issues, 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 basement will now stay dry all the time thanks to these systems!

Water was entering a basement in Granite City, IL, and the homeowners wanted a sump pump installed to remove this water. But first, the DryTrak System was installed. This water control system will lower the water table around the foundation, relieving hydrostatic pressure. It creates a permanent seal that will remove seepage from the floor-wall joint and direct it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump System. 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 system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry all the time!

This system can be tightened over time and doesn't require any invasive drilling or digging.

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.
