Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Robert B. of Moro, Illinois noticed that his basement was collecting water after every heavy rain storm. He did not want to have to clean up a mess every time it stormed, so he called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

Design specialist Cory S. assessed the situation and decided that the best option was to install a full waterproofing system. Foreman Melvin F. then traveled to the home to get the job started.

One part of the waterproofing system that was installed was the Waterguard drainage system. The Waterguard, pictured above, was installed above the footing of the basement. After installation, it was covered with concrete. The Waterguard collects any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface. It then drains it to the sump pump.

Robert B. no longer has to worry about his home's basement flooding. He now has a dry and waterproof basement.

Water was entering a basement in Moro, IL, causing damage to the walls. 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 remain dry and stay clean for years to come!

Cyntia Hl of Moro, Illinois discovered water pooled around the hot water heater in her basement. In addition to water coming into her basement where the floor meets the wall, the water around the hot water heater risked damanging her valuables. System Design Speciaist John S. designed a solution to keep the basement dry.

In addition to installing a waterproofing system, Foreman Jose L. and his team installed a trench drain around the hot water heater to capture water and guide it to the TripleSafe sump pump system. 

Water was entering a basement in Collinsville, IL, causing damage and concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the BrightWall Paneling System was first installed. This bright, clean, and durable wall system will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will drain any wall leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, draining water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharging it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This efficient, high-capacity, dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the crawlspace. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the TripleSafe, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain clean and dry for years to come!
