Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was leaking in a basement in Dongola, IL, causing mold to grow and create a musty smell throughout the basement. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard system was installed. This perimeter drainage system will catch the water that runs down the walls, and will lead it towards the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will catch this water and discharge it out of the house. This system assures protection from all three problems that can occur with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a second pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come thanks to these systems!

Basement walls were cracking in Centralia, IL, causing water to leak through them and pool onto the floor. To solve the wall issue, the GeoLock Wall Anchor System was installed. These are galvanized steel earth anchors embedded into the soil out and away from the foundation wall. Once installed, these will hold the walls in their current position and can be tightened to allow for improvement and straightening of the wall over time. 

To solve the water issues, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls, and drain any leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, draining water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharging it from the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out, and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry for years to come!

An effective sump pump is essential for a truly waterproof basement. This storage room was susceptible to bad leaks during heavy rains, often getting flooded with an inch or more of water. The homeowner's original sump was little more than a dank, musty pit in the ground and it was certainly not capable of doing its job; a Woods Basement Systems team replaced it with a TripleSafe pump. The TripleSafe system comes equipped with three pumps, one of which is a battery backup capable of pumping over 10,000 gallons of water an hour at and 8 foot head.

The transformation speaks for itself!

A sump system was failing in Centralia, IL. It was not pumping water out of the basement as it should. It also had no lid, releasing moisture into the basement. To solve these issues, a TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This sump system assures protection from all three problems that can occur with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a second pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This basement will remain dry for years to come!

A sump pump was failing in Centralia, IL, so the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. • This system assures protection from common problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up.
