Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Wood River, Illinois basement has a cellar door and used to leak in the corner by the steps.  Woods Basement Systems installed the TrenchDrain system in front of the basement steps.

The concrete flooring in this Wood River basement was suffering due to water damage, making it an unpleasant presentation of the basement. Our Woods team used WaterGuard™ to stop water damage in its tracks. This homeowner can live comfortably knowing that the basement is safe from water damage.

Water was coming down basement walls in Wood River, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the DryTrak System. 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 sump system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will stay dry all the time!

A basement in Wood River, IL, was leaking during heavy rain and needed to be addressed before concerns of mold emerged. This was distressing to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used to encapsulate the walls of the basement. This highly durable liner will keep the humidity out. Next, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits horizontally on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Then, a sump pump was installed to discharge the collected water out of the basement. 

Wood River, Illinois homeowner Jennifer J. was troubled by water leaking into her basement where the floor meets the wall. The leaking water was causing mold in her basement, which produced a musty odor.

Woods Basement Systems' foreman Todd W. installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard collects leaking water and guides it to Jennifer's newly installed TwinPack sump pump system and away from the basement.

Now, Jennifer's basement is free of water, mold and musty odors.
