Before & After Photos

This Litchfield, Illinois basement's sump pump was not up to the task. It was loud, dirty, ineffective, and the homeowner was eager to get rid of it. First, a Woods Basement Systems team removed the existing sump pit. After this, a brand new TripleSafe sump pump was installed. The TripleSafe comes equipped with three separate pumps, including a battery backup, and is capable of removing well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour. 

Homeowners in Litchfield, IL had water leaking into their basement and reached out to Woods Basement Systems for help.  Our team installed the WaterGuard Drainage System into their basement.  The WaterGuard system adds protection around your home that prevents any future leaks that may occur.  It works by catching the water and channeling it to the pump and out of your home.  Once the drainage system was installed, the homeowners were happy with their dry basement for years to come!

Water was coming down the walls and pooling on the floor of a basement in Frohna, MO, so 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. Next, 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. Thanks to these systems, tuis basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Concrete will crack and basement foundation wall cracks are common.  However, if the patched crack reopens or if a wall crack starts leaking, then you have other issues of concern.  Is the wall crack due to lateral pressure on the foundation wall (which can cause a bowing wall) or is it from settling stress? In an unfinished area of a basement, another option is BrightWall®.  BrightWall® gives the appearance of a finished look, controls a wall crack leak when tied into a basement waterproofing system, and allows for slight movement of the foundation wall.  If radon gas is present, a radon mitigation system would be necessary and sealing wall cracks are part of that process.

Customer, Jennifer from Highland, Illinois had flooding issues in her basement after heavy rains. To prevent any further flooding she called Woods Basement Systems to see what could be done. Systems design specialist, Luke K., recommended installing a waterproofing system including a TripleSafe sump pump, WaterGuard, and an IceGuard. 

Foreman, Jose L., installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump is guaranteed to keep your basement dry with its primary pump, secondary pump, and a battery back-up pump. The WaterGuard system collects water as it seeps through the basement walls, guides it to the sump pump, and out of the home. The IceGuard is placed on the outside of the home and is there to allow water to escape the sump pump discharge line in case the pipes freeze or clog, instead of going down into the basement. 

Now, Jennifer T. can sleep easy, knwoing she will hava a dry basement when it rains.
