Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water leaks through a block foundation in several points.  One of the best ways to keep the basement dry is with a vertical vapor barrier to direct the leaking water into the perimeter basement waterproofing system. CleanSpace® wall covering works great with our WaterGuard® drainage system.  Now with both in place, this Perryville, Missouri homeowner can continue with their basement finishing project with confidence.

Water was coming down the walls in a basement in Bunker Hill, IL, and the sump pump was not pumping this water out correctly. To solve these issues, 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, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge 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. Next, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed. The patented design of this system automatically allows water to escape through its perforations when pipe terminations are blocked, usually by ice or snow. Lastly, a LawnScape Outlet was installed. This connects the discharge lines to a special extension, sending water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

This Bunker Hill, Illinois homeowner was tired of dealing with water in her basement. It would regularly stream down the walls during periods of heavy rainfall and pool on the floor, requiring constant cleanup. In order to solve this problem, a Woods Basement Systems team installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls to catch any water and prevent it from making it onto the floor.

This Bunker Hill, Illinois home previously had suffered several leaks that transformed into water damage. Team Woods installed a TwinPack sump pump, WaterGuard drains, and Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. Here you can see the before and after of the installation of these waterproofing products. 

Vicki C. was concerned about water coming in the east side of her basement and having to clean it every time it rains. 

In the Before image, green mold is seen on the walls and where the wall and floor meet. In the After photo, no more mold is visible and WaterGuard is seen protecting the floor. Vicki can now relax knowing that water won't leak anymore in her basement!
