Before & After Photos

Block foundation walls are hollow inside and hold water that can leak into your basement, like in this Sparta, Illinois home.  A vertical vapor barrier should be installed, working with the perimeter basement waterproofing system before finishing with drywall.  Our CleanSpace® wall covering is the perfect solution for this block foundation.

Ann of Sparta, Illinois knew that her home was in danger if she didn't contact a professional to protect her home from water damage. After working with Luke K., CleanSpace and WaterGuard were selected as the ultimate waterproofing repair products for Ann's basement. Foreman Juan H lead his team to make the installation process quick and efficient. 

This partially finished Sparta, Illinois basement was plagued with leaks. During extended periods of rain, water would stream down the walls from behind the wood paneling at the base of the walls. This moisture had badly damaged the wood and stained the floors, and it was threatening several electrical outlets. The homeowner wanted the problem solved, so he called Woods Basement Systems. After ripping out the paneling, a Woods team installed, among other things, WaterGuard drains underneath the floor at the base of the leaking wall to catch any water and prevent it from making it onto the floor. This basement is now totally waterproof!

Water was pooling around a fireplace in Sparta, IL, so Woods installed TrenchDrain around it to catch this water and drain it away. 

Water was leaking around a fireplace in a Sparta, IL basement, causing damage and concern. To solve this issue, the TrenchDrain System was installed. This surface drain is similar to a half-round pipe with a grate that fits snuggly on top of it. The grate is flush or slightly below the floor to catch any water that may enter from the outside. This basement will now stay dry and restore peace of mind for years to come!
