Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Justin K. of Dewey, Illinois experienced trouble with water leaking into his basement despite his attempt to waterproof. System Design Specialist Greg B. designed a solution to ensure his basement would stay dry.

As part of that solution, Foreman Greg H. installed IceGuard. IceGuard is installed to the exterior discharge line. It provides an exit for water in the event that the line becomes frozen during our cold Midwest winters.

This drainage system effectively captures surface water at stairways, doorways, and other openings, and guides it directly to your sump pump system.  

A basement in Tolono, IL, was leaking and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed to collected any water that entered the basement. This system sits on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Next, a sump pump was used to discharge the collected water away from the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry and in great shape. 

A sump pump was not working right in Champaign, IL, causing issues when water entered the basement. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will stay dry all the time!
