Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Basement in Decatur, Illinois
After noticing water seeping into her basement following periods of heavy rain, Merari of Decatur, Illinois, knew it was time to address the problem before moisture caused further damage to her home. Water entering through the foundation can lead to persistent dampness, musty odors, and potential damage to stored belongings and finished spaces. To find a lasting solution, Merari contacted Woods Basement Systems for professional basement waterproofing.
Our crew installed a complete waterproofing system featuring a sump pump, sub-floor drainage system, water barrier liner, and discharge line. The drainage system collects water entering along the foundation and directs it to the sump pump, which safely removes it from the basement through the discharge line. The water barrier liner provides an additional layer of protection against moisture entering through the foundation walls. With these improvements, Merari can have greater confidence that her basement is protected against future water intrusion, even during heavy rainfall.

Creating a Dry and Healthy Basement
Our waterproofing methods help to create a dry and healthy space for the homeowner where they can be assured their investment is protected.
Water Damage
Leaks in the foundation walls show themselves in more ways than one would think. However, water damage like this is a clear sign that leaks are seeping into the basement.
Water Barrier Liner and Sump Pump
The water barrier liner collects leaks from cracks in the foundation wall and redirects them downward to the drainage system then the sump pump. The triple pump sump pump will then consistently move the water out of the space. This creates a dry and healthy space that's fully protected.
Sub-Floor Drainage System
The sub-floor drainage system is installed at the base of the wall. This allows the system to collects leaks seeping through the joint of the wall and floor before they ever reach the basement's air.
Installation of Discharge Line
One of the first steps for our crew is determining the placement of the discharge line. This creates the best method for releasing water collected in the basement.
