Before & After Photos

This old sump pump in a Troy, IL home wasn't able to keep up with the household flow of water. With the TripleSafe sump pump system installed, they no longer have to worry whether their sump pump can keep up and their basement will stay dry.

Homeowners in Troy, IL had WaterGuard installed in their leaky basement to direct water flow into the TripleSafe sump pump system they also had installed. The homeowners also had the IceGuard installed outside of the home, which prevents backing up of the sump pump in the event of failure of the discharge line.

Shirley and Warren T. of Troy, IL unfortunately didn’t waterproof their basement before finishing it. Hidden leaks from their foundation walls had soaked and stained their carpet which took hours to dry out. The wood panelling on the bottom half of their walls was ruined so their called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

The WaterGuard drainage system was installed as part of that waterproofing system. WaterGuard is installed under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement, as can be seen in the picture. Because it is situated on top of the concrete footing of the basement, it won’t become clogged with silt or plant roots as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors and drains it to the sump pump for removal.

Trevor of Troy, Illinois had sinking concrete in his sidewalk that leads up to his front door, so he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. Systems design specialist, Barry C. recommended installing PolyLevel. 

Foreman, Matthew R. installed the product. PolyLevel is a polyurethane formula, or foam-like substance used to permanently lift and stabilize sinking concrete slabs. Small holes are drilled and then the polymer is injected into the void. Lastly, the holes are covered with cement.

Now Trevor G. has a safe walkway. 

A Troy, IL homeowner reached out to Woods Basement Systems concerned about flooding in their basement and unsightly water damage. They met with Design Specialist Chris A. and received a free estimate on the ideal way to keep the basement dry at all times.

Team Woods installed a Twin Pack sump pump system to remove water from the home before it causes any damage. Twin Pack uses dual, cast-iron Zoeller pumps for double protection, and it works well with just about every drainage system. For waterproofing you can count on, Twin Pack can help!
