Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was leaking down a basement wall in Highland, IL, causing damage to it and pooling onto the floor. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will now remain dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!

Concrete will crack and basement foundation wall cracks are common.  However, if the patched crack reopens or if a wall crack starts leaking, then you have other issues of concern.  Is the wall crack due to lateral pressure on the foundation wall (which can cause a bowing wall) or is it from settling stress? In an unfinished area of a basement, another option is BrightWall®.  BrightWall® gives the appearance of a finished look, controls a wall crack leak when tied into a basement waterproofing system, and allows for slight movement of the foundation wall.  If radon gas is present, a radon mitigation system would be necessary and sealing wall cracks are part of that process.

Highland, Illinois homeowner Carole H. was troubled by water leaking into her basement. The water leaked in through cracks in her block foundation and at the area where the floor meets the wall. Though she had a sump pump, it failed to keep the basement dry. Nate C., System Design Specialist, visited Marie's home, and Upon inspection, Nate discovered that the foundation of Carole's home was settling. He designed a solution to support the foundation and keep the basement dry.

Foreman Brad P. and his crew waterproofed the basement by installing WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard collects and guides water to the TripleSafe sump pump system. A new basement window was also installed to keep outdoor elements out. To support the foundation, PowerBrace was installed.

Pesky water leaks had taken over this beautiful Aviston, IL basement. Team Woods utilized WaterGuards into the flooring to collect the water and direct it towards the sump pump. With WaterGuards in place, the water leaks won't pool on the floor and create damage, instead, they will be moved towards the sump pump and will be pumped back outside. 

This Addieville, Illinois basement was experiencing water-leak issues anytime it rained heavily. The homeowner was tired of constantly mopping his floors, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help. In order to waterproof the space, a Woods team first installed an under-floor WaterGuard drainage system at the base of the leaking walls to catch any water. After this, a TripleSafe sump pump was put in place to remove all of that water from the home.
