Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Dale B. of Collinsville, IL was having major issues with water getting into his finished basement. It was damaging his finished walls and soaking his carpeted floors. Dale was worried it would only get worse so he called Woods Basement Systems for a free assessment. Woods recommended installing a basement waterproofing system.

IceGuards were installed as part of the waterproofing system. IceGuards are attached to the discharge lines from the sump pump on the exterior of the home. Water will flow straight through them when there is no problems with the exterior discharge lines. If the discharge lines become frozen during the winter months, however, the slotted openings in the IceGuards allow water to escape into the yard and not come back into the basement.

Dale B. can now enjoy his finished basement without worrying about rainy weather because he knows it will stay dry.

Water was leaking out of a basement window in Collinsville, IL, causing mold to grow on the wall. To solve this issue, the WellDuct Window Well Drain was installed. This will drain water that leaks into the window well and direct it down to the WaterGuard System, which will catch and guide this water to the sump pump to be pumped out of the house. 

Homeowners Mary and David L. of Ashland, Illinois were dealing with a wet basement. They noticed water coming in where the floor meets the walls in the basement of their home. They wanted to fix the problem before any of their items were damaged by the rainwater. Once they made a call to Woods Basement Systems, the problem was fixed in no time! Foreman Juan Hernandez and his team installed a complete waterproofing system in just one day. Now, the couple has peace of mind knowing their basement is dry for years to come.

Connie E. of Ashland, Illinois was troubled by her wet, musty basement. Water leaked into the basement where the floor meets the wall. Her old sump pump system was open and was not sufficient for her basement. After inspecting the basement, a System Design Specialist designed a solution.

Part of the waterproofing solution was the installation of the TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe is sealed, so water does not escape back into the basement. It is equipped with a main pump, backup pump, and battery-powered pump to ensure the basement stays dry all the time.

Water ruins carpet, drywall, electronics, and just about anything else that would be present in a finished basement. Repairs are time consuming and cost thousands, which is why it is essential to waterproof a space BEFORE finishing it. This Maryville, Illinois homeowner did the smart thing and called Woods Basement Systems to fix his leaking basement walls before he began finishing. A Woods team installed WaterGuard drains underneath the floor at the base of the walls to catch any and all water.
