Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Many homes like this one in Argenta, Illinois have items stored in the basement that need to be protected from water damage. Woods Basement Systems installed WaterGuard in this basement, engineered specifically to solve this water problem effectively.

This home in Altamont, IL. was experiencing water leaks through the tiny gap between the foundation walls and the floor. Although they had a sump pump to remove water in the home, the homeowners needed a perimeter drainage system to collect the leaks and direct them to the sump pump.

The best system for them was WaterGuard™. WaterGuard™ is a specially designed perimeter drainage system that gets installed directly on top of the footing just beneath the floor. Because it is on top of the footing, WaterGuard™ stays clear of the mud that surrounds the footing. Since it is out of the mud, WaterGuard™ doesn't need filter fabrics, which can clog and make other systems ineffective over time. WaterGuard™ will collect water as it rises above the footing, redirecting it to the sump pump before it can rise above the surface of the floor.

WaterGuard™ was installed along the walls around the existing sump pump and drained into the sump pit. This way, WaterGuard™ was able to work with existing waterproofing systems to keep the basement dry and protected.

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.

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.
