Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was leaking where the wall and floor meet in a Pinckneyville, IL basement, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will now stay dry all the time!

Julie K. of Pickneyville, IL contacted Woods Basement Systems because she noticed a musty smell in her damp basement and could see water spots on the floor. In order to solve the issue, Woods installed the WaterGuard waterproofing system, which controls the direction of water to the sump pump and out of the house. The sump pump pictured is our TripleSafe sump pump that consists of a primary and secondary pump as well as a battery backup pump in the case of primary pump failure or power outage. After the system installation, Julie is now happy with her newly clean and dry basement.

Cheri from Pinckneyville, Illinois wanted to protect her home from water damage after experiencing years of leakage, so she reached out to Woods Basement Systems. System design specialist, Sam W., worked alongside Cheri to figure out the perfect solution for her leaky basement.

Sam recommended installing some of Woods' top waterproofing products to prevent any further damage to Cheri's basement. Pictured, you can see two of the product that were installed: WaterGuard and CleanSpace. WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement and CleanSpace is installed on the walls. 

A basement wall was becoming unstable and leaking Water in Greenville, IL, causing concern for the homeowners. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was first installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and requires no invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to support the joints and protect the floor system's durability. 

Next, the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This all-plastic, bright white, basement wall paneling provides a clean look for an unfinished basement. It prevents water vapor from seeping into the basement and drains any wall leaks down to the WaterGuard System. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design 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 stable and dry all the time!

Water getting into finished basements can be disastrous which Kurt B. of Greenville, IL learned the hard way. His carpet was stained and ruined and his belongings were being water damaged. He didn't want to go through the clean up again so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a full perimeter waterproofing system.

As shown in the pictures, part of the waterproofing system installed was the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe contains three powerful pumps, including a battery back up pump, to ensure that, even in particularly bad storms, water will be pumped out and away from the basement and keep it dry.
