Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Make sure your sump pump does not back up, like it did in this Mattoon, Illinois basement. If the water can not get out if the discharge line due to clogging or freezing, you could have a serious problem on your hands. Our IceGuard® discharge line solves that problem, allowing water to drain even if it clogs or freezes!

This Mahomet, Illinois basement was having some issues with water leaking out from underneath one of the walls. Because the basement is partially finished, the homeowner was particularly interested in solving the problem. With this in mind, she called Woods Basement Systems. A Woods team installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking wall to catch any and all leaks and prevent them from making it into the space itself. A TripleSafe sump pump was also put in place to pump all of that water out of the home. This basement is now totally waterproofed!

Water was getting into a basement in Mahomet, IL, and the sump system was not getting the water out as it should. To solve these issues, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from all three problems that can occur with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a second pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. 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 clean for years to come!

Kathy H. of Mahomet, Illinois was distressed by the mold growth under her carpet. The mold was a result of water leaking into her basement where the floor meets the wall. 

To solve her mold problem and keep her basement dry, system design specialist Greg B. designed a solutison. WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system, was installed by foreman Juan H. WaterGuard guides water to the TwinPack sump pump system and away from the basement. 

As the picture shows, the drywall was also damaged by water. Kathy chose to have EverLast Half-Wall installed to restore her basement to dry and beautiful.

Mike and Sheila of Mahomet, Illinois were upset to find water leaks and cracks in their basement. Water would seep into the basement after heavy rains that overtime led to foundation cracks. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of their basement, which is where all water enters into the basement. WaterGuard ensures that any water that enters into the basement is drained to the sump pump, which then pumps the water out of the home. In this before and after you will see the new WaterGuard draining system installed. Once the cement dries the basement will look seamless!
