Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Finished Basement in Champaign, Illinois

Ricardo from Champaign, Illinois contacted Woods Basement Systems to protect his finished basement from water intrusion while preserving the space he enjoys. Our team designed a minimally intrusive basement waterproofing system to help manage unwanted water without unnecessarily disrupting the finished living area. The project included replacing the original sump pump with a new triple-pump sump pump system with battery backup, providing added protection against basement flooding, including during power outages. To complete the system, we installed a sub-floor drainage system to collect groundwater and direct it to the sump pump, along with a clog-free discharge line to carry water away from the home. Together, these components provide a comprehensive finished basement waterproofing solution designed to help protect flooring, furnishings, and valuable living space from water damage. Woods Basement Systems helps homeowners address basement leaks and moisture concerns with effective basement drainage and waterproofing solutions tailored to their homes.

Before Installation

Ricardo noticed water damage along the walls of his finished basement. He called Woods to create a permanent solution to this issue before the damage could get substantially worse.

Original Sump Pump

This homeowner had a sump pump already installed in the basement however, the system had failed. This led Ricardo to ask Woods to install a new system in the basement.

Sub-Floor Drainage System

To help prevent water from seeping into the basement from the joint of the basement floor and wall our crew installed this sub-floor drainage system along the walls. This is a nonobtrusive system that keeps the finished space dry and protected.

Triple Pump Sump Pump and Battery Back Up

The original sump pump was replaced with our triple pump sump pump system which will consistently move water out of the basement. The triple pump design allows for more consistent flow of water and extra assurance in the event of one pump failing. The battery back up system also gives homeowner the peace of mind that even if the home loses power the sump pump won't stop running.

Discharge Line

The sump pump releases water outside of the home through this newly installed discharge line. The two guards attached the home's exterior wall have a clog-free design which prevents water backing up into the sump pump. This ensures the system runs smoothly and correctly.
