Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Mold and rot had grown on the inside of the walls of the basement in Connie H.'s Swansea home. Water was leaking in whenever it rained and was causing more and more damage each time so Connie called Woods Basement Systems for a free, no obligation estimate. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

As shown in the pictures, a Twin Pack Sump System was installed. The Twin Pack consists of two powerful, cast-iron pumps that sit at different levels within the sump liner. If the primary pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water coming in, the secondary pump will work with the primary pump to ensure all of the unwanted water is being pumped out and away from the basement.

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. With the spring and summer weather behind him, he finally decided to make the call to have his basement waterproofed. Donald did not want another spring and summer season of worrying about his basement and the items stored in it.

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.
