Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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.

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.
