Before & After Photos

Basement water leaks can wreak havoc on valuables and the structure itself. When looking to stop leaks and waterproof a basement, it is important to have the job done correctly the first time. This Salem, Illinois homeowner contacted the experts at Woods Basement Systems for her waterproofing needs, and a team installed, among other things, a CleanSpace wall encapsulation liner and a TripleSafe sump pump. Both of these products are extremely effective and keep water from getting into the basement space itself and removing any that does.

Billie B wanted to waterproof the basement. The sump system was also not pumping out water like it should, so that needed to be replaced. Woods first installed the WaterGuard Perimeter Drainage System. These pipes intercept water at the wall and floor joint of the basement and drain it towards the TripleSafe Sump System, which was also installed to pump the water away from the house. This advanced sump pump system will remain working even if there is no power to the house, thanks to the UltraSump battery backup pumping system. Lastly, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This vapor barrier will stop water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will also drain any wall leaks. Sean can now have peace of mind knowing that his basement will stay dry and clean for years to come!
