Waterproofing a Basement in Bunker Hill, IL

Water was coming down the walls in a basement in Bunker Hill, IL, and the sump pump was not pumping this water out correctly. To solve these issues, the BrightWall Paneling System was first installed. This bright, clean, and durable wall system will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will drain any wall leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Next, the IceGuard Sump Pump Discharge System was installed. The patented design of this system automatically allows water to escape through its perforations when pipe terminations are blocked, usually by ice or snow. Lastly, a LawnScape Outlet was installed. This connects the discharge lines to a special extension, sending water away from the foundation while camouflaging the end of the pipe. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Moldy Freeburg, IL Basement Restored

This moldy Freeburg, Illinois basement had water seeping in and damaging existing subfloors...but not anymore. Woods Basement Systems installed a Triple Safe Sump Pump System, provided a permanent solution for the wall cracks, and laid a ThermalDry subflooring designed especially for basements.

Waterproofing in Freeburg, Illinois

Chris S. of Freeburg, Illinois had water leaking into his basement, so he decided to call Woods Basement Systems for help. Systems design specialist, John S. found a solution and recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard.

Foreman, Greg H. installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump uses its three-in-one system to keep your home dry which includes a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a backup battery-powered pump. WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter of the basement and it collects water that seeps through basement walls and guides it to the sump pump to be removed from the home.

Now Chris S. has a dry basement. 

BrightWall Panels & WaterGuard Drains Improve Wet, Freeburg, IL Basement

Team Woods installed new BrightWall panels onto the basement walls to waterproof and clean up the previously water damaged walls. Along with the new paneling, foreman, Logan B., installed a French drainage system called WaterGuard into the footing of the basement to catch potential water leaks.

In the Before image, green mold is seen on the walls and where the wall and floor meet. In the After photo, no more mold is visible and WaterGuard is seen protecting the floor. Vicki can now relax knowing that water won't leak anymore in her basement!
