Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A basement in Edwardsville, IL, was leaking during heavy rain and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits on top of the soil to prevent clogging from occurring. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry. 

It's important to ensure that once water hits the sump pump, that it will actually end up outside and not just end up back in the basement. Our IceGuard® acts as an ejection port for water to escape in case the sump pump discharge line gets clogged.  Our TripleSafe® sump pump offers three pumps with one being a battery backup to keep the basement dry all the time.  The covered lid for the sump pump also has a radon approved floor drain to properly operate for dehumidifier condensation lines.

This homeowner in Edwardsville, IL decided to have our TripleSafe Sump Pump system, complete with our WaterGuard system, installed in his home. Now he can enjoy a dry basement and have piece of mind knowing his sump pump has an extra pump in the unlikely event the first pump fails, as well as a battery back-up pump to work during power outages.

Window well drains need to stay clog free and free flowing.  Draining a window well to daylight to a point down hill from the home is the best solution.  But what if the yard is level?  Having a clog-free interior drain is the best option, called WellDuct®.  We installed our WellDuct® on the interior basement wall to the exterior window well of this Edwardsville, Illinois home.  We drained it into a section of our WaterGuard® system and tied that into the existing drainage system that leads to the homeowner's sump pump.  To make sure a basement stays dry all the time, we recommend our upgrade sump pump system with battery backup called TripleSafe® and a perimeter WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system.

During our service call, Scott told the homeowner about our better window wells.  They decided to purchase several of our SunHouse window wells for a better looking appearance for their home.
