Before & After Photos

Chris and Bethany K. had two old sump pumps that had long since stopped working. They were getting water in their basement and their old waterproofing system was doing nothing to help so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a full perimeter waterproofing system.

As shown in the pictures, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System replaced they two old pumps. The TripleSafe contains two powerful, cast-iron pumps and a battery back up pump so, even in severe weather conditions that cause power outages, water will be pumped out and away from the basement and it will remain dry.

Virginia H. of Belleville, IL had always had a leaky basement but during one big thunderstorm, an alarming amount of water got leaked in and caused a big mess. She was tired of dealing with the leaks and mess so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

Woods installed the TripleSafe as part of that waterproofing system. The TripleSafe contains three pumps, including a battery back up pump, to expel intruding water safely away from the basement through its discharge lines. The TripleSafe can deal with weather ranging from light showers to severe thunderstorms. In the event of a power outage, the battery back up pump can remove up to 11,000 gallons of water from the basement on a fully charged battery.

The sump pump is the most crucial component of any basement waterproofing system. If the sump pump isn't up to the task, then there will be problems. This Belleville, Illinois homeowner was interested in replacing his old sump pit because it was simply not doing the job. A Woods Basement Systems team replaced this old sump pump with a brand new TripleSafe sump system. Capable of handling well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour the TripleSafe is a different animal. Just look at that difference!

This Belleville, Illinois apartment unit was having issues with water leaking out from behind the drywall during heavy rainfall. These leaks had already damaged electronics and furniture, and the landlord was eager to have the problem fixed. A Woods Basement Systems team, after cutting away parts of the drywall to gain access to the foundation walls, installed WaterGuard drains under the floors at the base of the leaking walls. These drains catch leaks and totally prevent them from making it into the space itself. 

This Belleville, Illinois basement was plagued with water leaks. Rainwater would stream down the walls during heavy storms and pool on the floor, requiring constant cleanup. The homeowner was sick of dealing with it, and she called Woods Basement Systems. In order to waterproof, a Woods team installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls. After this, they installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier over the walls to seal out moisture.
