Before & After Photos

In Venice, Illinois homeowner Michael S. was dealing with a wet basement. He noticed the rainwater was leaking in where the floor meets the wall, leaving pools of water on the basement floor. Once the items he had stored in the space were becoming damaged and wet, he decided to make a call to Woods Basement Systems.

Our foreman Jacob Chamness and his team installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is an innovative interior basement drainage system designed to effectively solve your basement water problems. When combined with our sump pumps and other waterproofing products, WaterGuard will keep your basement clean and dry year-round. Unlike conventional French drains that are installed outside the foundation or alongside the footing, WaterGuard drainage piping is installed inside the basement and won't clog with silt or plant roots.

This Jerseyville, Illinois basement was prone to water leaks. Woods installed IceGuard on sump pump discharge lines, so freezing temperatures cannot freeze water and clog the lines...keping this basement dry all the time.

This Red Bud, Illinois homeowner was trying to keep their basement dry with two sump pumps.   When the second pedestal pump would have to kick on it would often dance around in the pump pit and deactivate the swich on the other pump.  Our TripleSafe® sump pump pit holds up to three pumps.  In this case only two pumps were installed to meet the homeowners needs.  They especially liked that the second pump was elevated on a pump stand that held the pump in place and only activated the pump when there were high water levels in the sump pump pit.

Kim of Red Bud, Illinois wanted to waterproof her basement after years of accumulating water leaks on the floor. To solve this issue, WaterGuard drains were used to waterproof a space by collecting the leaking water and sending it to the sump pump to be discarded of. With the help of WaterGuard, now Kim can enjoy her basement knowing that the space will remain dry and clean for several years to come. 

This Red Bud, Illinois couple had only recently finished their basement when they began to have water issues. During periods of rain, water would leak out from behind the drywall and pool on the floor. This moisture had already ruined portions of the drywall and damaged furniture and valuables. To waterproof the space, a Woods Basement Systems team installed WaterGuard drains underneath the floor at the base of the leaking walls. To do this, however; they had to rip out parts of the flooring and the drywall. These extra expenses could have been avoided if the couple had waterproofed BEFORE finishing!
