This century-old McLeansboro, Illinois home's basement was plagued with water leaks. The space would flood during heavy periods of rain, requiring regular, extensive cleanup. In order to waterproof the basement, a Woods Basement Systems team first installed an under-floor WaterGuard drainage system at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water. After this, a TripleSafe sump pump, equipped with three separate pumps and capable of removing over 10,000 gallons of water per hour, was put in place.
This Dahlgren, IL family was using their unfinished basement as a play area for the kids, storage, and a workout space. However, the basement became unpleasant when water continued to seep in at the base of the foundation. Woods Basement Systems was able to step in an install our WaterGuard system that will divert any incoming water directly to the sump pump which will eject the water from the home. This means no more wet floors or unpleasant damp smell in the basement!
Before Woods Basement Systems installed our Twin Pack sump pump, the homeowners existing single sump pump wasn't enough to keep this Dahigren basement dry. The new Twin Pack has a backup pump that will kick on should the main pump ever get over worked from a heavy rain. This system will now permanately keep the basement dry!
David and Mary W. were troubled by their wet, musty basement. Water leaked into the basement where the floor meets the wall and through the block foundation. System Design Specialist Brenton K. designed a solution to waterproof the basement.
As part of the solution, the Twin Pack sump pump system was installed. As you can see, their old sump was open, allowing water to escape back into the basement. Twin Pack is sealed to prevent water vapor from escaping into the basement. It is equipped with two pumps to ensure the basement stays dry.
Woods Basement Systems investigated this homeowner's basement in Herrick, Illinois and found that the sump pump was outdated. The previous sump pump was not able to keep up with the water demand of the home and needed to be replaced. Woods installed a TripleSafe sump pump to replace the old-fashioned pump, and now the basement pumps out all water that seeps into the basement.
