Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Woodlawn, IL residents Warren and Joyce were interested in waterproofing their basement because the water was leaking into it when it rained. System Design Specialist Jake M. was able to help! By installing a WaterGuard, groundwater and leaks could be stopped at the floor and wall joint. Underneath Production Manager Frankie D., Foreman Robert D. and his crew installed this clog-proof system. In these photos, you can see how the WaterGuard leads directly to the sump pump, allowing water to be pumped out of the basement. Once it is laid properly, it is covered up with concrete, allowing it to blend back in with the rest of the floor. Now Warren and Joyce can have peace of mind that their basement is dry and safe!

A basement wall was leaking in Woodlawn, IL, so the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of 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 dry and clean for years to come!

Water was entering a basement in Blue Mound, IL, and the homeowner wanted a sump pump that could better eliminate the water. To solve this issue, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. 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 restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement in Buncombe, IL, was leaking and has issues surrounding high humidity. The owner decided to give Woods a call before concerns of mold appeared. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used to encapsulate the basement. This durable liner will keep the humidity, and other outside elements, out of the basement. Next, a sump pump with a battery back-up generator was installed to discharge any water out of the area, even during a power outage. With these systems in place, the owner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry. 

Water was coming down the walls of a basement in Herrin, IL, causing damage to them. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the perimeter drainage system. Next, 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will stay dry and can be enjoyed for years to come!
