Before & After Photos

What can you do after years of water leaks have accumulated in your basement? The first recommendation Team Woods suggests is to waterproof the space so that water can't damage the basement any further. This Edwardsville, Illinois basement needed protecting from the water that would leak in through the walls. To stop the leakage, a CleanSpace encapsulation barrier system was placed on the walls to prevent water from leaking in. 

This Edwardsville, Illinois basement had experienced water leaks that soaked up the carpet and damaged the walls and floors. With the help of Team Woods, this basement is now waterproofed thanks to WaterGuard drains that will now collect water leaks and direct them towards the basement sump pump. The drains are installed in the footing of the basement walls to prevent the system from clogging, which makes the system dependable year around. 

The sump pump is the most important part of any basement waterproofing system. An ineffective sump pump usually ends up causing basement flooding and other issues, so it is very important to have a reliable sump. This Edwardsville, Illinois couple was dealing with these exact issues. Their old sump pump was loud and simply not doing its job well enough. They called Woods Basement Systems for help, and a Woods team replaced their old pump with a brand new TripleSafe sump system. The TripleSafe comes equipped with three independently operating pumps, one of which is a battery backup, and is capable of removing well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour. Just look at the difference!

A homeowner in Edwardsville, IL wanted a sump system that would hold more water, so a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed. This system assures protection from all three problems that can occur with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a second pump that will help eliminate the water if the first pump can't keep up. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Water was leaking through a basement wall in Edwardsville, IL, and it was beginning to cause damage. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. 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. This basement will now remain clean and dry for years to come!
