Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Covering the sump pump pit with a solid cover is a good idea.  Having the sump pump closed prevents water vapor from escaping and raising the humidity level in the basement.  Our SuperSump® sump pump, like the one installed in this Glen Carbon, Illinois home, closes the top with a very sturdy lid, gaskets around the power cord and discharge pipe and has a built-in properly functioning drain.

Before, this homeowner had no means of protection against pesky water leaks. Leaks are bound to occur eventually since the basement is the most susceptible area in the house for leaks to develop. Once this homeowner noticed a few water stains, she made the decision to reach out to Woods Basement Systems to completely waterproof and protect her basement space. 

WaterGuards were used to collect the pesky water leaks that enter inside where the walls met the floor. Since water leaks inside through this area, WaterGuard drains are installed into the flooring to collect the leaks and direct them towards the sump pump to be pumped back outside. 

A foundation was cracking in Glen Carbon, IL, and it was starting to leak water. To solve these issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will stop water vapor from permeating the basement walls, and drain wall leaks down to WaterGuard. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and guide it to the sump pump to be discharged from the house. Lastly, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This Basement will remain dry and stable for years to come thanks to these systems!

Water was entering a window well in Glen Carbon, IL, and it was leaking into the basement. To solve this issue, the SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure was installed. This system gives an attractive, bright, and clean solution that keeps rain out, prevents weeds from growing inside, and reflects natural light into the basement. This will make a dramatic difference inside and outside the home and will restore peace of mind for years to come!
