Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A basement in Belleville, IL, was prone to leaking during heavy rain. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement and direct it to the nearest sump pump. This system won't clog due to its horizontal design. Next, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. This sump pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure the pump keeps working, even during a power outage. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry during heavy rain. 

This homeowner decided to finish his basement with Basement to Beautiful and EverLast paneling.  Basement to Beautiful is a great way to go from ugly, damp, cold walls to warm, dry, walls with studs and electrical chases, ready to finish in one simple step.  EverLast panels are the best to go with Basement to Beautiful.  This stylish panel are a cement board that has a washable, vinyl finish that can't be damaged by water or grow any mold.

Chuck from Belleville, Illinois had constantly struggled with water damage in his basement, which made him want to find a permanent solution. Foreman Melvin F. and his team installed the WaterGuard drains into the Belleville, Illinois home.

Connie H.'S basement in her Swansea, IL home had been damaged by water getting in every time it rained. She had a consultation with Woods Basement Systems and Woods recommended a waterproofing system.

Considering the typical Midwest winters, Woods installed IceGuards as part of the waterproofing system. As shown on the picture, IceGuards are installed on the discharge lines on the exterior of the home. If the discharge lines become frozen or clogged, IceGuards allow the trapped water to escape through its slotted openings so it won't come back into the basement.
