Before & After Photos

Jeff and Stacey L., Collinsville, Illinois homeowners, were distraught by water leaking into their basement where the floor meets the wall. The water ruined their drywall and carpet as mold began to overtake the basement. Chad B., system design specialist, designed a solution to keep the basement dry.

WaterGuard was installed by foreman Melvin F. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system that collects and guides water away from the basement. With this system, Jeff and Stacey's basement will stay dry,and they will no longer have to worry about mold.

Dale B. of Collinsville, IL was having major issues with water getting into his finished basement. It was damaging his finished walls and soaking his carpeted floors. Dale was worried it would only get worse so he called Woods Basement Systems for a free assessment. Woods recommended installing a basement waterproofing system.

IceGuards were installed as part of the waterproofing system. IceGuards are attached to the discharge lines from the sump pump on the exterior of the home. Water will flow straight through them when there is no problems with the exterior discharge lines. If the discharge lines become frozen during the winter months, however, the slotted openings in the IceGuards allow water to escape into the yard and not come back into the basement.

Dale B. can now enjoy his finished basement without worrying about rainy weather because he knows it will stay dry.
