Before & After Photos

Metal window wells like this one in Granite City rust over time. Weeds can sprout and poke holes in thin, flimsy window well covers and allow rainwater to fill up the window well.  Sometimes, window wells are left uncovered, and basements get wet anyway.

SunHouse basement window enclosures offer an attractive, bright, clean solution that keeps rain out, prevents weeds from growing inside, and reflects natural light into the basement.

Granite City, Illinois resident Tom N. was tired of looking at his old, ugly window well. The well didn't allow for light to enter his basement and critters made a home of it.

Foreman Tom B. and his crew installed the RockWell egress window well. RockWell provides a beautiful view, allows natural light to enter the basement and keeps the critters away.

These Pontoon Beach, IL homeowners had a WaterGuard waterproofing system installed in their basement due to water leaks. As a part of the waterproofing system, they chose to have a new sump pump installed, Woods Basement Systems' TripleSafe sump pump.

This system includes a primary pump, secondary pump, and a battery backup pump. This ensures the system will still continue to pump water out of the basement in the case of primary pump failure or power outage.

Richard C. of Granite City, IL had water coming in his basement where the foundation wall met the floor. He contacted Woods Basement Systems to have a free evaluation.

Specialist Nolan M. determined that the WaterGuard waterproofing system was the best solution. One obstable he faced was the basement stairs, but he was able to customize the solution for Richard.

Foreman Brad P. and his crew were able to remove the bottom two stairs, place the WaterGuard in the floor, and replace the bottom two stairs once the concrete was dry. 

Richard can now enjoy a fully waterproofed basement and store his valuables with peace of mind.

Hannah W. of Granite City, Illinois noticed that water was coming in through the windows and up through the floor in her home's basement. Even though she already had a working sump pump, she was still having problems. She called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

Design specialist Peter N. assessed the situation and decided the perfect solution was to install a Waterguard drainage system and a couple well ducts. Foreman Mason S. then headed to the home to get the job started. The well ducts, pictured above, provided an exit route for water entering through the windows by connecting the well duct to the Waterguard. Water is then drained to the sump pump and out of the home.

Hannah W. no longer has to worry about water coming through her basement's windows or floor. She now has a dry and waterproof home.
