Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This home in Vienna, IL. had a basic sump pump that sat in an open sump pit and barely kept the basement protected from flooding. 

That's why the homeowners upgraded to the TripleSafe™ sump pump system. Unlike the original pump, the TripleSafe™ is a feature-packed unit installed in a special, sealed liner. The TripleSafe™ gets its name from the three pumps it contains that can keep a basement protected from flooding - even if the power goes out. The TripleSafe™ also comes with an air tight lid that will prevent any water in the pit from evaporating into the basement and while also looking much nicer than an open hole in the floor. It also has two discharge lines to help clear water from the basement at double the rate of the original pump.

By upgrading to the TripleSafe™ sump pump system, the homeowners can be sure that their basement is better protected from water damage than ever before.

Water was entering a basement in Salem, IL, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down 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 out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement in Salem, IL, was leaking and wet, needing to be addressed. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits horizontally on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Next, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. This sump pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure the sump pump keeps working even during a power outage. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry all the time. 

Older sump pump pits work to pump water to the outside, but can release a lot of water vapor into the house.  Before finishing this Salem, Illinois basement, the homeowners decided to upgrade to our TripleSafe® sump pump with battery backup to ensure a dry basement, all the time!

Basement water leaks can wreak havoc on valuables and the structure itself. When looking to stop leaks and waterproof a basement, it is important to have the job done correctly the first time. This Salem, Illinois homeowner contacted the experts at Woods Basement Systems for her waterproofing needs, and a team installed, among other things, a CleanSpace wall encapsulation liner and a TripleSafe sump pump. Both of these products are extremely effective and keep water from getting into the basement space itself and removing any that does.
