Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Billie B wanted to waterproof the basement. The sump system was also not pumping out water like it should, so that needed to be replaced. Woods first installed the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. These pipes intercept water at the wall and floor joint of the basement and drain it towards the TripleSafe Sump System, which was also installed to pump the water away from the house. This advanced sump pump system will remain working even if there is no power to the house, thanks to the UltraSump battery backup pumping system. Lastly, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This vapor barrier will stop water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will also drain any wall leaks. Sean can now have peace of mind knowing that his basement will stay dry and clean for years to come!

Water was leaking in a basement in Salem, IL, causing damage to it. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that 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 thanks to this system! 

Raised footings are common in older homes where the basement floor was poured between the footings and not on top of the footings from wall to wall.  Our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing drainage system is made to work with our other waterproofing solutions to give every home and problem the custom solution it needs to make sure your basement will stay dry all the time!

Mike G. of Mount Vernon, Illinois needed a new sump pump, so he called Woods Basement Systems for a solution. Systems design specialist, Luke B. recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard. 

Foreman, Donald A. installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump works to protect your home with a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery-powered backup pump, so there should be no worries of the pump failing. WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter of the basement floor and it collects water that has seeped through the basement walls. It then guides that water to the sump pump to be pumped out and away from the home. 

Now Mike G. has a working sump pump.

Homeowners from Mount Vernon, IL had previously hired Woods Basement Systems to install a TripleSafe™ sump pump system to protect their basement from flooding. The TripleSafe™ system offers exceptional protection with its three individual pumps and specially designed sump pit liner. 

To keep this system in top condition, Ben S. performed an annual maintenance inspection. During the inspection, Ben checked each individual pump, as well as the special liner, the battery for the battery-powered backup pump, the discharge lines, and the exterior line to make sure everything worked and that there were no leaks, breaks or malfunctions in the system. Should he have come across one, Ben would have been able to fix most issues during that same visit. This could include replacing a faulty old pump with a new one so that the TripleSafe™ stays in the best possible condition at all times.

These homeowners can relax knowing that their sump pump system is in good condition and will continue to be cared for by the dedicated experts at Woods Basement Systems.
