Before & After Photos

There were hidden leaks behind the walls in the finished basement of Al P.’s  East Alton, IL home even though he had a waterproofing system from a different company. The leaks from the foundation walls were in an area the waterproofing system was not extended to had damaged the wooden walls and frames as well as the carpeted floors. so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended extending the waterproofing system to the rest of the basement.

Woods extended the system by installing the WaterGuard drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the rest of the basement. WaterGuard is situated on top of the concrete footing of the home, away from any silt and debris that might clog. It uses its special wall flanges and channel holes to collect water from the foundation walls and floors and drain it to the existing sump for removal.

Chris of East Alton, Illinois wanted to protect his finished basement from damage, so he gave Woods Basement Systems a call to schedule an appointment. Team Woods gave Chris the recommendation of installing WaterGuard drains into the footing of the basement walls to collect potential water leaks.

WaterGuard drains are created to prevent water from forming water damage in the basement. These french drains are designed to send water leaks to the sump pump to then be discarded.

With no means of protection against water leaks, this East Alton, Illinois basement was in desperate need of waterproofing.

Team Woods installed a WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of the basement with a TripleSafe sump pump system to pump the water leaks back outside.

A basement was leaking in East Alton, Il, causing damage. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first 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. These systems will ensure that the basement stays dry and clean for years to come!
