Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Additional Waterproofing Installed in Champaign, Illinois
When Tom wanted to improve the waterproofing in his basement, he turned to Woods Basement Systems for a solution that built on the equipment he already had. Since his home was equipped with an existing sump pump system, our team focused on adding the components needed to enhance its water management capabilities rather than replacing what was already working. We installed a sub-floor drainage system to collect groundwater along the basement perimeter and direct it to the existing sump pump, along with a water barrier liner along the foundation walls to help guide moisture into the drainage system.
At Woods, we understand that every home has different waterproofing needs, which is why we customize each installation to the home's existing systems, foundation conditions, and homeowner's goals. Tom's basement waterproofing project in Champaign, Illinois, demonstrates how targeted improvements can strengthen an existing system without unnecessary replacements. By integrating the new drainage and wall liner systems with his current sump pump, we helped Tom take another step toward a drier basement with a solution tailored specifically to his home.

Leaks Through The Foundation
The leaks through the foundation of the home can lead to serious damage if not treated. A small leak can be a step to a major disaster in your basement. This homeowner called Woods because they noticed these leaks and wanted to take care of them as soon as possible.
Sump Pump
Prior to the installation of our newer waterproofing systems we made sure they would be compatible with the homeowner's original sump pump.
Connecting our System with the Existing One
The homeowner already had a functioning sump pump, rather than requiring our own system we were able to adjust our place to fit our sub-floor drainage system directly to the sump pump.
Sub-Floor Drainage System
The sub-floor drainage system collects the leaks coming in through the joint of the wall and floor inside the basement. The pipes collect the leaks and directs them to the sump pump system.
Water Barrier Liner
Our water barrier liner directs leaks coming from cracks in the foundation walls to the sub-floor drainage system. This keeps the basement dry and protected from the potential of leaks getting in.
