Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Basement in Urbana, Illinois

Alan from Urbana, Illinois called Woods because he noticed water seeping into his basement from the joint between the foundation wall and the floor. He wanted to find a permanent solution to this issue that would assure him that his basement would be dry and healthy. Woods provides homeowners with the best products and systems for waterproofing their basements. In this home we replaced the original sump pump with our three pump based system with a battery back up, our sub-floor drainage system, and our clog-free discharge line. These waterproofing systems help continuously move any water seeping in from the foundation away from the basement and instead outside of the home.

Before Installation

Water had started seeping through this point in the home's foundation and basement walls.

Seepage Through The Foundation

Although this basement had a sump pump, the home owner wanted to ensure that water wouldn't be able to reach the basement after Woods waterproofed the space. We installed the sub-floor drainage system to accomplish this.

Sub-Floor Drainage System

Our drainage system is built into the floor of the basement right at the joint with the foundation wall. The pipes we install at this point collect seepage and leaks before they can reach the basement's surface. Now the leaks are sent directly to the sump pump.

Original Sump Pump

While this homeowner already had a sump pump in their basement, they wanted to replace it for a newer version that would help continuously pump water away from the home. Our triple pump system assures that will be the case.

Discharge Line

Our discharge line sends any water from the sump pump out of the home. The guard at the top of the line is a clog-free design. With multiple openings in the guard water can release from any of those points, even if the line freezes or clogs from debris. This prevents back up into the sump pump.
