Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Keyesport, Illinois basement was used for multiple purposes like storage, living space, and a guest bedroom. The homeowner added an extra bedroom in the basement for guest, but they had noticed water damages on the walls. To protect the bedroom, Team Woods installed a TwinPack sump pump into the bedroom to pump out potential water leaks. 

A crawlspace in Smithboro, Illinois, had some exceedingly high humidity that needed to be addressed. This humidity was seeping up into the home, causing issues with mold and negatively effecting the homeowner's utility bill. The homeowners had previously installed a barrier some years before, so the only install to be made was a new dehumidifier to contain the high humidity. The dehumidifier that was installed is called the SaniDry Sedona. It is specifically designed operate in crawlspaces and other areas with similar humidity levels. With this dehumidifier in place, conditions in this crawlspace are guaranteed to be dryer.

Basement water leaks can present quite a problem if the homeowner uses the space for food or valuables storage. Moisture is very bad for clothing, wood, and other storage container materials. This Hoyleton, Illinois homeowner was experiencing issues with water running down his walls and pooling on the floor, and he called Woods Basement Systems for help. A Woods team first installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water and prevent it from making it onto the floor. To finish, a CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed over a large portion of the walls to seal out moisture and prevent mold growth. Just look at the difference!

A basement in Hoyleton, IL, was leaking and needed a strong waterproofing system. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement. This system won't get clogged due to its horizontal design that sits on top of the soil. Next, a sump pump was used to discharge the water out of the basement. This sump pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure the pump keeps working, even during a power outage. Finally, a Sedona™ dehumidifier was used to lower the humidity in the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry, even during heavy rain. 

Ben B. of Hoyleton, Illinois needed waterproofing work done in his home, so he called Woods Basement Systems for a solution. Systems design specialist, Luke B. recommended installing a twin pack sump pump and WaterGuard.
