Before & After Photos

Linda and Peter G. ad major water issues in the basement of their Gifford, IL home. Their belongings were getting water damaged every time it rained so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a full perimeter waterproofing system.

As part of the waterproofing system, WaterGuard was installed under the concrete floors, as shown in the picture. WaterGuard is a drainage system that sits on the concrete footing of the basement so it won't become clogged by mud as it collects water from the foundation floors and walls and drains it away to the sump pump.

Also seen in the picture is a TrenchDrain. TrenchDrains are grated drainage pipes that sit flush with the floor and tie in to the WaterGuard system. They collect surface water that may get in through doors or stairs.

A basement wall was leaking in Gifford, IL, and this was causing issues because the water was pooling onto the floor. To solve this issue, 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 common problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe 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, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

A crawlspace in Oblong, IL, was unsteady and needed stabilizing. This was concerning to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, SmartJack™ stabilizers was used. These crawlspace stabilizers will keep everything steady and can be tightened for when the crawlspace shifts over time. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their crawlspace will remain safe and stable for years to come!

Homer, Illinois homeowner Steven and his family were experiencing water coming into their finished basement. They gave Woods Basement Systems and call and Team Woods developed a plan for them. 

Foreman Melvin and his crew installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. They were sure to go around problem water areas including the HVAC system and stairs. They linked the WaterGuard to the TripleSafe sump pump. The three pump system is our surest way to a dry basement. 

Steven and his family can now enjoy their basement and have peace of mind during rains that the area will remain dry. 

Homeowners Jeanene and Danny H. of Homer, Illinois wanted to waterproof their basement. With the basement flooding after every minor rain that came their way, they were exhausted from keeping up with the mess. They decided it was finally time to make a call to Woods Basement Systems and have the problem fixed once and for all. Foreman Michael Davies and his team made it out to the home and installed the perfect solution for their space. Now, Jeanene and Danny have peace of mind knowing their basement will be dry for years to come.
