Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Glen Carbon, MO wanted a way for water to drain into the sump pump more easily, so the WaterGuard System was installed. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will now stay dry all the time!

A basement in Glen Carbon, IL was leaking during heavy rain. This needed to be addressed, so the homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed. This system will collect the water that enters the basement and direct it to the nearest sump pump without clogging. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry. 

The basement floor held the bottom row of the block foundation in place but the upper part sheared, bowing inward.  The house in Glen Carbon, Illinois required a wall anchoring system to stop the inward movement.

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.
