Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

This basement in Urbana, Illinois needed protecting from water leaks. After heavy rains water would leak into this home creating water stains on the floor. Woods Basement Systems installed WaterGuard french drains into the footing of the basement to collect the water leaks before they could create harm. WaterGuard drains are a permanent solution to protect and waterproof a leaky basement. 

In Urbana, Illinois homeowner Kurt B. wanted to waterproof his basement. He called Woods Basement Systems to see if they could install a system to keep his basement dry. Our foreman Steven Penland and his team installed WaterGuard and TripleSafe in the space. These products will collect and send the water out of the basement, away from the foundation.

Dennis D. was concerned about water standing in the floor and wall joint in his basement. Mold was beginning to grow, creating a smell in the basement. To solve this issue, Woods installed The WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch water leaking from the walls and lead it towards the sump system to be pumped out. Dennis can now rest easy now that the basement is clean and dry!

Water was leaking down the walls in a basement in Urbana, IL, so 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 separates it from the soil under the floor so it will never clog. It will also drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Janice E. had a very wet crawl space in her Philo, IL home. Water leaked in through the foundation walls and gravel floors and made the crawl space very humid. The high humidity had begun to rot the wood floor joists above. Her store-bought dehumidifier did little to nothing to keep the relative humidity low and it was a chore to empty the collection tray every time it was full so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a crawl space encapsulation system.  

Woods replaced the store-bought dehumidifier with the SaniDry dehumidifier as part of the encapsulation system. The SaniDry can remove up to 109 pints of water from the crawl space air per day while using the same amount of energy as the store-bought unit. It’s self-draining so no more hassle emptying a full collection tray. It keeps relative humidity low in the crawl space to prevent rot and conditions that foster mold growth.
