Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home in Murphysboro, Illinois is only 22 years old and had never flooded before...until this last year, when startled home owners awoke to 4 inches of water in their basement. Woods Basement Systems immediately went to work to keep this basement dry all the time—including the installation of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System and WaterGuard basement waterproofing system. 

A homeowner in Murphysboro, IL wanted to install a proper basement window well, so the SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure was installed. This system gives an attractive, bright, and clean solution that keeps rain out, prevents weeds from growing inside, and reflects natural light into the basement. This will make a dramatic difference inside and outside the home and will restore peace of mind for years to come! 

A basement wall was leaking in Dawson, IL, and was beginning to cause damage. To solve this issue, the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This bright and clean solution will stop water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will drain any wall leaks down to WaterGuard. 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

A basement in Carlyle, Illinois had some leaking water issues. To resolve this issue, Woods installed a French drain called the WaterGuard System. This system is a series of pipes that run directly below the floor and sit on top of the soil. This placement design ensures that dirt or other debris can't clog the system. The pipes then direct excess water to the nearby sump pump. Thanks to this install, this basement will remain dry for decades to come.

The previous sump pump installed in this Carlyle, Illinois basement did not have a battery backup or sealed lid to keep water vapor from escaping and causing higher humidity in the basement.  Our TripleSafe® sump pump system helps control basement humidity with its sealed lid and has a battery backup sump pump in case of a power outage.
