Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Belleville, Illinois sump pump was outdated and in need of replacing. Woods Basement Systems installed a new sump pump as well as a WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is unique in that it sets on top of the footing of a home's foundation which prevents it from getting clogged with dirt. (please note that the concrete in the after picture hadn't had time to cure prior to the taking of the picture).

WaterGuard drains are installed in the perimeter of the basement to collect and direct water leaks towards the home's sump pump system. This drainage system ensures that if water finds its way inside, it will be directed back outside. 

This basement in Belleville, IL had a settling foundation, causing it to crack. Over time, these cracks started to leak. This customer had the PowerBrace system installed to support the failing walls, which will seal the cracks back up over time, as well as the CleanSpace basement wall system which was installed to give the basement a bright, finished look, while also serving as a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from seeping into the walls. The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system was installed along the walls to drain additional water, which leads into the TripleSafe sump pump which drains it far away from the home quickly and effectively. They included an UltraSump backup battery, which will automatically turn on and continue draining in case of a power outage. This customer will no longer have to worry about a wet, leaking basement or failing foundation walls.

Water was coming down the walls of a basement in Belleville, IL, causing concern. To solve this issue, the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This is an all-plastic, bright white, basement wall paneling that provides a clean look for an unfinished basement. It prevents water vapor from seeping into the basement and drains any wall leaks down to the WaterGuard System. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will now stay dry all the time thanks to these systems!

A basement in Belleville, IL, was leaking and needed to be addressed. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, a drainage line was used. This will carry water away from the house and prevent it from flooding. With this system in place, the homeowner can now rest easy knowing their basement is in great shape!
