Before & After Photos

In Cave In Rock, Illinois homeowner Leon R. wanted to get his basement waterproofed. He hadn’t had any problems with water in the past but wanted to ensure that the items in his basement would stay dry. He decided to give Woods Basement Systems a call to get it waterproofed once and for all.

We sent our foreman Juan Hernandez out to the home to install our waterproofing system. We installed our patented systems; WaterGuard, IceGuard, and TripleSafe sump pump system. Ensuring that the home stayed dry and clear for years to come. The homeowner now has peace of mind knowing his items will be safe stored in his basement.

The optimal solution to keep water out of this basement is by installing a TripleSafe sump pump. A TripleSafe pump will discard of water leaks by pumping them outside through the discharge line. With this dependable pump, this basement will remain safe and dry. 

Older sump pump pits work to pump water to the outside, but can release a lot of water vapor into the house.  Before finishing this Salem, Illinois basement, the homeowners decided to upgrade to our TripleSafe® sump pump with battery backup to ensure a dry basement, all the time!

Raised footings are common in older homes where the basement floor was poured between the footings and not on top of the footings from wall to wall.  Our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing drainage system is made to work with our other waterproofing solutions to give every home and problem the custom solution it needs to make sure your basement will stay dry all the time!

Basement water leaks can wreak havoc on valuables and the structure itself. When looking to stop leaks and waterproof a basement, it is important to have the job done correctly the first time. This Salem, Illinois homeowner contacted the experts at Woods Basement Systems for her waterproofing needs, and a team installed, among other things, a CleanSpace wall encapsulation liner and a TripleSafe sump pump. Both of these products are extremely effective and keep water from getting into the basement space itself and removing any that does.
