Before & After Photos

Basement water leaks can present quite a problem if the homeowner uses the space for food or valuables storage. Moisture is very bad for clothing, wood, and other storage container materials. This Hoyleton, Illinois homeowner was experiencing issues with water running down his walls and pooling on the floor, and he called Woods Basement Systems for help. A Woods team first installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water and prevent it from making it onto the floor. To finish, a CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed over a large portion of the walls to seal out moisture and prevent mold growth. Just look at the difference!

A basement in Hoyleton, IL, was leaking and needed a strong waterproofing system. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement. This system won't get clogged due to its horizontal design that sits on top of the soil. Next, a sump pump was used to discharge the water out of the basement. This sump pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure the pump keeps working, even during a power outage. Finally, a Sedona™ dehumidifier was used to lower the humidity in the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry, even during heavy rain. 

This basement in Charleston, Illinois needed a specially designed RainChute to help alleviate the amount of water that collected around the home's foundation.

Water found its way into this Charleston, Illinois basement. This basement experienced a lot of water seepage until Woods Basement Systems installed wall anchors, a drainage system, sump pump system, and the ThermalDry wall system to keep this basement dry and comfortable all year round!

Painting or coating an interior block foundation will only slow water from getting in to a basement.  Over time, the seepage gets in between the wall and the coating and eventually leaks in to the basement.  Our BrightWall® wall covering is a great solution for block foundation walls.  In this Charleston, Illinois home, we used installed this product in combination with our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system for a customized, effective solution.  It also gives the basement a clean, finished appearance.
