Before & After Photos

This Cairo, IL resident was tired of dealing with water in his basement every time it rained. Water would seep in through the leaky window, and there wasn’t a proper waterproofing system to carry the water to the sump pump.  There were also large cracks in the foundation walls because they had begun to bow slightly.  Water would come in through the cracks in the walls, and the basement always seemed to be wet.  The resident wanted to get the problem solved so he could use his unfinished basement for storage.  Woods Basement Systems fixed his wet basement problems by installing Wall Anchors, WaterGuard, and a TripleSafe sump pump. 

This basement in Edinburg, Illinois was in desperate need of waterproofing. This homeowner decided to finally fix the reoccuring issue and called Woods Basement Systems. On the phone she talked with our systems design specialist who was able to find a final solution for this homeower.

Foreman, Donald A. and his crew installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump  was the first to be installed and this is guaranteed to keep a basement or crawl space dry with its three-in-one design. It has a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a backup battery-powered pump, so you will never have to worry about it not working properly. Next the Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to help prevent moisture build up in the space, along with out top of the line CleanSpace liner. 

A basement in Hoffman, IL, was leaking and needed to be addressed before concerns of mold emerged. The homeowners decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used to keep the humidity out, while also helping to make the crawlspace look nicer. Then a sump pump was installed to discharge the collected water out of the basement. This sump pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure it keeps working, even during a power outage. With these systems in place, the basement will remain dry. 

Water was leaking by a basement door in Du Quoin, IL, and causing mold to grow. To solve this issue, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed.  This is an economical way to cover ugly walls, stop water vapor from permeating them, and drain wall leaks. Any other leaks will be caught by TrenchDrain, which was installed in front of the door to prevent water from entering other parts of the basement. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!

Water was leaking down a basement wall in Du Quoin, IL, so the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Any wall leaks will also be drained down to the WaterGuard System. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!
