Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This Forsyth, Illinois basement had several water leaks through the basement floor. To solve this reoccurring issue, Woods Basement Systems installed WaterGuard drains into the footing of the basement walls to prevent water from leaking in past the drains. 

Homeowner Barbara S. of Logan, Illinois wanted to waterproof her basement. After a recommendation from a friend, she made a call to Woods Basement Systems. Our foreman Melvin Foster and his team installed the perfect solution for her home. Patented products such as WaterGuard, IceGuard and TripleSafe kept the basement dry.

Water was leaking down the walls of a basement in Saint Peter, IL, and the sump pump was failing to pump this water out of the house. To solve this issue, 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!

This St. Elmo, IL basement was water damaged to do the amount of water that would regularly accumulate into the basement. The previous sump pump wasn't able to handle this amount of water, causing the water to remain inside. Team Woods solved this homeowner's water issue by replacing the old sump pump with a new TripleSafe sump. 

In this before and after you can see the old, outdated pump and compare it to the quality and size of the TripleSafe pump. The after image shows the TripleSafe being installed. You can see the amount of water that the basement was trying to get rid of an now it will be able to!

Water was entering a basement in St. Elmo, IL, causing damage and concern. 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 and restore peace of mind for years to come!
