Before & After Photos

Water leaks can lead to damaging, costly repairs. WaterGuard drains prevent these leaks from accumulating inside by stopping the leaks at the source. This drainage system is installed in the footing of the walls to collect the leaks and direct them towards the basement sump pump. The final step to this installation process is to pour cement over the top to seal the drains from clogging. 

A sump pump was failing to pump out the amount of water that was entering it in Hillsboro, IL, causing water to overflow and pool onto the floor. To solve this issue, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. 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 system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This basement will now remain dry and clean all the time!

Homeowner Joyce G. of Sesser, Illinois was thinking about finishing her basement. She knew that before she could accomplish that she would need to waterproof the space. She had been dealing with a wet basement for over 10 years and was ready to have the problem fixed. After a recommendation from a family friend, she made a call to Woods Basement Systems. Foreman Michael Davies and his team installed a solution that would be perfect for her home. He installed WaterGuard along the floor/wall joint as well as replacing her old sump pump with our new TripleSafe System. Joyce was happy with the work done by the Woods Basement Systems team and is even having an estimate to have them finish the basement as well!

The previous sump pump installed in this Carlyle, Illinois basement did not have a battery backup or sealed lid to keep water vapor from escaping and causing higher humidity in the basement.  Our TripleSafe® sump pump system helps control basement humidity with its sealed lid and has a battery backup sump pump in case of a power outage.

This homeowner was referred by his sister and was trying to stop the leaking basement for years but finally called us.  He was handy so he cut out his own drywall prior to us installing our WaterGuard and would be responsible for putting it back up. Once the WaterGuard was installed and a fresh new layer of cement was laid down, he was glad not worry about replacing the drywall ever again when it got wet.
