Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing and Foundation Support Installed in Basement in Glenarm, Illinois

Cindy from Glenarm, Illinois is a customer of Woods and called our team to make additional waterproofing to her basement. We had worked with Cindy before and she noticed more cracks and leaks coming into her basement in a new area, leading to her quickly calling Woods to create a solution for this new issue. Our crew noticed larger cracks along the foundation walls while preparing to waterproof the space so we suggested installing our support system along the wall to ease the settling of the home's foundation that had caused the cracks. By the end of the job our crew installed additions to our sub-floor drainage system, water barrier liner, and our support jack system. All of these will help keep the basement dry and protected as the home continue to age.

Replacing Sub-Floor Drainage System

In addition to the new waterproofing our crew installed we also replaced the original sub-floor drainage system so that the track would go along almost the entire basement. This addition was covered under the homeowner's warranty. We wanted to assure they have the best experience and final product.

Sub-Floor Drainage System

The sub-floor drainage system collects leaks from the joint of the floor and basement walls and sends them directly to the sump pump. This prevents them from ever reaching the open air of the basement.

Sump Pump

The sump pump system has a three pump design allowing for consistent flow of water outside of the home.

Support Jacks

Our support jack system is custom fit for each space, adding support for either a crawlspace or a full basement. This adds additional support to the foundation, rather than trying to replace the original supports.

Water Barrier Liner

Water had leaked through into this basement from both the floor joint and small cracks along the walls. The water barrier liner prevents leaks from the wall from reaching the basement. Instead it sends the leaks directly to the sub-floor drainage system.
