Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Belleville, Illinois apartment unit was having issues with water leaking out from behind the drywall during heavy rainfall. These leaks had already damaged electronics and furniture, and the landlord was eager to have the problem fixed. A Woods Basement Systems team, after cutting away parts of the drywall to gain access to the foundation walls, installed WaterGuard drains under the floors at the base of the leaking walls. These drains catch leaks and totally prevent them from making it into the space itself. 

This Belleville, Illinois basement was plagued with water leaks. Rainwater would stream down the walls during heavy storms and pool on the floor, requiring constant cleanup. The homeowner was sick of dealing with it, and she called Woods Basement Systems. In order to waterproof, a Woods team installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls. After this, they installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier over the walls to seal out moisture. 

A basement window was leaking water in Belleville, IL, and pooling onto the floor. To solve these issues, the WellDuct Window Well Drain was installed. This will drain water if it enters the window well and into the WaterGuard System, which will guide it to the sump system to be pumped out of the house. This basement will remain clean and dry for years to come! 

Water was leaking in a basement in Belleville, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. 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!

Doing a complete basement waterproofing drainage system means installing WaterGuard along the perimeter of the basement.  Going around hot water heaters and under stair steps are common obstacles.  We carefully remove a section of the basement floor along the wall which means going under basement stairs sometimes.  Then the waterproofing drainage is installed that takes the water flooding the basement to a sump pump.  The concrete floor that was removed is then replaced in the basement.
