Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Joan D. of Swansea, Illinois noticed that water was collecting her home's basement after heavy rain storms. She did not want to have to keep cleaning up a mess every time it stormed, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Luke K. assessed the situation and decided the best solution was to install a Waterguard drainage system and a Twin Pack sump pump. Foreman Brett J. then headed to the home to start the job.

The Twin Pack sump pump, pictured above, removes water from the home through a discharge line. This particular sump pump is equipped with both a primary and secondary pump. If the primary pump goes out for whatever reason, the secondary pump takes over and keeps the basement dry.

Joan D. no longer has to worry about her home's basement flooding. She now has a waterproof and dry basement.

When purchasing a new home, it is extremely important to, among other things, have the basement inspected for cracks and leaks. Neglecting to do so can have very expensive consequences. This Belleville, Illinois homeowner found that out the hard way when his newly purchased home's basement was flooded with water the first time it rained heavily. He was now left with a huge mess on his hands, and he called the experts at Woods Basement Systems for help. A Woods team installed under-floor WaterGuard drains, a CleanSpace wall covering, and a TwinPack sump pump to keep the basement dry.

In Kirkwood, Missouri homeowner Donald W. was having problems with water entering his home.

Connie H. of Swansea, IL had water coming into her basement through her walls and floors which had caused mold and rot to grow under her walls. Woods Basement Systems recommended installing a waterproofing system.

WaterGuard was installed as part of the waterproofing system. As shown in the picture, it is installed under the concrete floors along the perimeter of the basement. It sits away from any mud that may clog it and collects unwanted water from the walls and floors and drains it away to the sump pump.

Felicia M. of Belleville, Illinois was shocked when she discovered water was collecting in her home's basement. She did not want to have to clean up a mess after every heavy rain storm, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Michael T. assessed the situation and decided the best solution was to install a TripleSafe sump pump and a Waterguard drainage system. Foreman Juan H. traveled to the home to get the job started. The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement. It collects and drains any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement.
