Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Concrete is a heavy material and so are the vehicles, machinery, and structures that concrete slabs and footings are expected to support. Sometimes, the combined weight of concrete and what it supports causes concrete settlement to occur. The soil beneath the concrete compresses and can cause major problems.

This can cause problems at your home as well. Uneven sidewalks, walkways, and steps can cause tripping, and sunken driveway slabs can make parking your car in the garage quite a challenge. PolyLevel® is designed specifically to repair this type of problem in Decatur, Ballwin, Belleville, Champaign, St. Peters, Saint Louis and neighboring areas.

Craig, Findlay, Illinois homeowner, was concerned with water leaking into his basement. The water pooled in his basement and risked damaging the items he stored there. Craig had a sump pump, but it failed to keep the basement dry. System Design Specialist Greg B. designed a solution.

In addition to WaterGuard, Team Woods installed a new sump pump system. This system was equipped with a sealed lid, so water and moisture cannot escape from the sump. This waterproofing system keeps Craig's basement dry, so he no longer fears water pooling in his basement.

A sump pump was failing to operate in a Shumway, IL, basement, so it was replaced with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. 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 now remain dry and clean for years to come!

To stop water damage from developing in this wet basement, Team Woods installed WaterGuard drains into the footing of the basement walls. These drains are installed in the footing so that they are able to collect and direct water leaks to the home's sump pump system. 

Years of water leaks had accumulated into this basement, but with the help of Team Woods, this was stopped! Team Woods installed a TripleSafe sump pump into the corner to collect and pump out pesky water leaks that snuck into the basement.
