Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Dorsey, IL. had a sump pump in their basement that wasn't giving them the peace of mind they wanted. So they called Woods Basement Systems and got the pump they needed.

Ben S. was able to come to the home and remove their old sump pump system and install a new TripleSafe™ sump pump. This TripleSafe™ system has three pumps to always keep the basement dry. 

The first pump is a 1/3 horsepower pump that deals with most of the water in the system. If that pump can't keep up, a second, 1/2 horespower pump kicks in to remove water even faster. And if the power goes out or if pumps one and two can't keep up, a third, batter-powered pump will turn on to keep the basement dry. As an extra safety measure, the TripleSafe™ system also features an alarm that can alert homeowners in the event of a plumbling leak or other interior leak.

With a TripleSafe™ sump pump system, these homeowners won't need to worry about water overfilling their sump hole again.

Water was leaking in a Dorsey, IL basement, causing damage to the drywall. To fix this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the sump pump system to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

In Dorsey, Illinois homeowner Tyler A. wanted to have his basement waterproofed. For years, he had been having problems with water coming in through cracks in the foundation, as well as the spot where the floor meets the wall. His sump pump was old, not pumping the water out of the home as it should be, and Tyler was tired of keeping up with the mess. He was unable to store anything in his basement without fear of it becoming wet or damaged. He decided to call Woods Basement Systems to find a solution to his wet basement problem.

Unfortunately, Woods knew that the water wouldn’t stop by closing the cracks in the walls. So, in order to keep the water from getting on the floor and damaging items, they installed our CleanSpace System on the foundation walls. The CleanSpace liner is a thick, durable liner that keeps the water behind it, sending it straight down into our WaterGuard system. When it gets to the WaterGuard it is sent to the TripleSafe sump pump where the water is pumped out of the home for good.

A homeowner wanted a sump pump installed in their Glen Carbon, IL basement, so the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Additionally, 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 basement.  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 dry and clean for years to come!
