Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

These Summerfield homeowners were having trouble with drainage in their basement, so they called Woods Basement Systems for help and met with Design Specialist Mac D., who recommended for them the ideal  solution.

Foreman Matt A. and his team installed a TripleSafe sump system unwanted water out of the home. TripleSafe uses three separate pumps for maximum protection, and it features the UltraSump battery backup system to keep the pumps running in any condition. Now these homeowners can enjoy their clean, dry basement thanks to TripleSafe

BEFORE: Water found its way into this Sparta, Illinois crawl space. Standing water and the humidity from it began to negatively affect the insulation and integrity of the home.

AFTER: Woods Basement Systems installed a waterproofing system with a sump pump as well as a dehumidifier. This crawl space is now completely dry and maintains a humidity level below 60%—which helps control mold and create a drier, healthier, more energy-efficient space.

This partially finished Sparta, Illinois basement was plagued with leaks. During extended periods of rain, water would stream down the walls from behind the wood paneling at the base of the walls. This moisture had badly damaged the wood and stained the floors, and it was threatening several electrical outlets. The homeowner wanted the problem solved, so he called Woods Basement Systems. After ripping out the paneling, a Woods team installed, among other things, WaterGuard drains underneath the floor at the base of the leaking wall to catch any water and prevent it from making it onto the floor. This basement is now totally waterproof!

Water was pooling around a fireplace in Sparta, IL, so Woods installed TrenchDrain around it to catch this water and drain it away. 

Water was leaking around a fireplace in a Sparta, IL basement, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the TrenchDrain System was installed. This surface drain is similar to a half-round pipe with a grate that fits snuggly on top of it. The grate is flush or slightly below the floor to catch any water that may enter from the outside. This basement will now stay dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!
