Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Your Home
A home is one of the biggest investments you will make in your lifetime, why let water enter and damage your home? Unsure if you need to waterproof your home? Spring and summer are the best times of the year to find out. Check for signs of water after a heavy rain or storm. Angela P. a homeowner in Saint Charles, did exactly that. She recently noticed the water entering her basement where the floor meets the wall. After noticing the water she also began seeing cracks in and around her home, showing signs of foundation settlement. Concerned, she decided to call Woods Basement Systems to find a solution to her foundation and waterproofing problems.
Angela decided to waterproof her basement first before fixing her foundation settlement problem. So we sent our foreman Brett Jones and his team out to the home to install a solution to waterproof her basement. They installed our patented interior drainage system, WaterGuard. WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement, catching any water entering the space before reaching the floor and items stored in the room. Now, Angela has peace of mind knowing that her home and items are protected from rainwater in her home.
