Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A Troy, IL homeowner reached out to Woods Basement Systems concerned about flooding in their basement and unsightly water damage. They met with Design Specialist Chris A. and received a free estimate on the ideal way to keep the basement dry at all times.

Team Woods installed a Twin Pack sump pump system to remove water from the home before it causes any damage. Twin Pack uses dual, cast-iron Zoeller pumps for double protection, and it works well with just about every drainage system. For waterproofing you can count on, Twin Pack can help!

A sump pump was not pumping water out of the house correctly in Troy, IL, so the TripleSafe Sump Pump 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. This basement will now remain clean and dry for years to come!

A sump pump was no longer functioning in Troy, IL, so it was replaced with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe 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. This basement will now stay dry all the time!

Shirley and Warren T. of Troy, IL unfortunately didn’t waterproof their basement before finishing it. Hidden leaks from their foundation walls had soaked and stained their carpet which took hours to dry out. The wood panelling on the bottom half of their walls was ruined so their called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

The WaterGuard drainage system was installed as part of that waterproofing system. WaterGuard is installed under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement, as can be seen in the picture. Because it is situated on top of the concrete footing of the basement, it won’t become clogged with silt or plant roots as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors and drains it to the sump pump for removal.
