Before & After Photos

South Roxana, Illinois homeowners Robert and Brenda had an area of their year that would not drain. They gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Luke B. developed a plan for them. 

Foreman Donald A. and his crew installed SillPlate Draintile and an exterior sump pump. The SillPlate Draintile is a system that is installed along the side of the home. We dig 12" down and install waterproofing along the edge of the home and bottom of the hole so all water must go into the draintile. Once in the draintile, the water is moved to a sump pump where it is pumped away from the home. 

Robert and Brenda can now work in their landscaping without flooding and know their foundation is safe as well. 

In Saint Mary, Missouri homeowner Tyler A. was worried about his leaking basement. His basement walls were cracked letting in rainwater, with water coming through were the wall meets the floor. Exhausted from worrying about the problems in his home, he finally made the call to Woods Basement Systems to waterproof his home completely.

We sent our foreman Austin Hudson and his team out to his Saint Mary, Missouri home to install our patented WaterGuard system. Our WaterGuard system is designed not to clog, does not rely on filter fabric, has a big drain outlet to the sump, and will not cause structural damage to the foundation. Engineered specifically to be an efficient, long-lasting interior perimeter basement waterproofing system. Now, Tyler will be reassured knowing his home is safe and dry.

These Bethalto, Illinois homeowners were troubled with water leaking into their basement. Thanks to the installation of WaterGuard and the TripleSafe sump pump system, their basement will stay dry all the time with no musty smell.

Bethalto, Illinois resident's valuables were at risk to water damage when water began leaking into their basement. Foreman Greg Harvie installed the WaterGuard drain system, so now they can enjoy a dry basement without risk to their valubles.

Jim C. of Bethalto, IL has water leaking into his basement through his foundation walls and floors. The wood panelling he had over his foundation walls were completely water damaged. He'd had enough so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods installed a waterproofing system.



Woods removed the water damaged wood panelling and installed CleanSpace Wall Systems. As shown in the picture, CleanSpace is a thick, plastic vapor barrier that gives basement walls a clean appearance as well as prevents any water from entering the basement through the walls. It instead directs it to the drainage system.


WaterGuard was also installed as part of the waterproofing system. WaterGuard is installed along the walls and into the concrete, as seen in the picture, and concreted over. It sits on top of the footing of the basement, out of the way of any mud that might clog it, and it collects any water seeping in through the walls and floors and drains it away to the sump pump.



Jim C. is happy his basement is dry and he no longer has to worry about water damage.
