Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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.

Foremen, Donald A installed the products. The Twin Pack sump pump includes two stainless steel pumps and can help fight against flooding and leaks. WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter of the basement floor and it helps to collect water that seeps through the walls and guides it to the sump pump to be pump out of the home. 

Now Ben B. has a watertight basement.

Water found its way into this Charleston, Illinois basement. This basement experienced a lot of water seepage until Woods Basement Systems installed wall anchors, a drainage system, sump pump system, and the ThermalDry wall system to keep this basement dry and comfortable all year round!

This basement in Charleston, Illinois needed a specially designed RainChute to help alleviate the amount of water that collected around the home's foundation.

Painting or coating an interior block foundation will only slow water from getting in to a basement.  Over time, the seepage gets in between the wall and the coating and eventually leaks in to the basement.  Our BrightWall® wall covering is a great solution for block foundation walls.  In this Charleston, Illinois home, we used installed this product in combination with our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system for a customized, effective solution.  It also gives the basement a clean, finished appearance.

This Cairo, IL resident was tired of dealing with water in his basement every time it rained. Water would seep in through the leaky window, and there wasn’t a proper waterproofing system to carry the water to the sump pump.  There were also large cracks in the foundation walls because they had begun to bow slightly.  Water would come in through the cracks in the walls, and the basement always seemed to be wet.  The resident wanted to get the problem solved so he could use his unfinished basement for storage.  Woods Basement Systems fixed his wet basement problems by installing Wall Anchors, WaterGuard, and a TripleSafe sump pump.
