Is there ever a time when it's acceptable for your basement to get wet? If your answer is, "No," then take a few notes from these Fairview Heights homeowners.
This newly-purchased home in Fairview Heights was experiencing an ungodly amount of water seepage through the block foundation, and the basement was always damp. Drywall and wooden cabinetry had been ruined with mold, and the homeowners wanted to keep their basement dry all the time.
Woods Basement Systems installed the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to drain water from the basement walls, from under the floor, and at the wall/floor joint. The crew also installed BrightWall, an inorganic wall covering to drain wall seepage into the drainage system. Finally, the TripleSafe sump pump system with battery backup ensures that pump failure, large rains, and power outages are no match for this dry basement.
Sherri P. of Fairview Heights, Illinois needed to have some preventative waterproofing work done, so she called Woods Basement Systems. Systems design specialist, Adam R. recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard.
Foreman, Melvin F. installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump uses its three-in-one design to keep your home safe with a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a backup battery-powered pump. WaterGuard is located in the perimeter of the basement floor and it works to collect water that seeps through the basement walls. It then takes that water and guides it to the sump pump to be fully removed from the home.
Now Sherri P. has a dry basement.
A basement in Fairview Heights had a sump pump installed previously that was not effectively keeping water out. Woods came and added an extra sump pump to assist called an UltraSump Pump. This pump is battery-operated, only activating in the case of a power outage. If the old sump pump has issues removing the collected water, this other pump will turn on to assist. With this installation in place, this basement is sure to stay dry for many years to come.
Jeffrey A. of Fairview Heights, Illinois noticed that his home's basement was collecting water even though he had a working sump pump. He did not want to ignore the problem and have to clean up a mess after every heavy rain shower, so he called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.
Design specialist Steve K. assessed the situation and came up with the perfect solution. Foreman Jose L. then traveled to the home to install a Waterguard drainage system and a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier.
The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement. After the installation was complete, the Waterguard was covered with concrete. The Waterguard drainage system collects any water rising from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. It then drains the water to the sump pump.
Jeanne F. of Fairview Heights, Illinois noticed that her home's basement was collecting water. She did not want to have to clean up a mess after every rain storm, so she called Woods Basement for help.

The WaterGuard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement. After installation, it was covered with concrete. The WaterGuard collects and drains any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement.
