Before & After Photos

This Willow Hill, Illinois basement was plagued with water leaks during heavy periods of rain. Water would leak out of cracks in the foundation walls and stream onto the floor. All of this moisture made it difficult to make effective use of the space, and the homeowners were interested in solving the problem as quickly as possible.

In order to waterproof the space, a Woods Basement Systems team installed several products. One of those was a TripleSafe sump pump. Equipped with three independently operating pumps, including a battery backup, the Triple Safe is capable of removing well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour. These homeowners no longer have to worry about their basement flooding!

This basement in Charleston, Illinois needed a specially designed RainChute to help alleviate the amount of water that collected around the home's foundation.

Water found its way into this Charleston, Illinois basement. This basement experienced a lot of water seepage until Woods Basement Systems installed wall anchors, a drainage system, sump pump system, and the ThermalDry wall system to keep this basement dry and comfortable all year round!

Painting or coating an interior block foundation will only slow water from getting in to a basement.  Over time, the seepage gets in between the wall and the coating and eventually leaks in to the basement.  Our BrightWall® wall covering is a great solution for block foundation walls.  In this Charleston, Illinois home, we used installed this product in combination with our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system for a customized, effective solution.  It also gives the basement a clean, finished appearance.

This old, leaky window was replaced with a new one in order to prevent water from entering through the cracks.  The old window had begun to separate from the exterior, and cracks were extending out from the square.  The cracks were sealed, and the new window fit perfectly in the square, keeping the rain out.
