Before & After Photos

Cottage Hills, Illinois residents Robert and Shirley M. were troubled by water leaking into their basement where the floor meets the wall. The water caused mold and risked damaging their valuables. System design specialist John S. designed a solution.

WaterGuard was installed by foreman Ryan L. WaterGuard collects and guides water to the TripleSafe sump pump system. With this waterproofing solution, Robert and Shirley's basement will stay dry.

Before John and Carla Y. of East Alton, IL contacted Woods Basement Systems they were experiencing mold growing along their basement walls. Since mold is usually a sign of water, they decided to waterproof their basement.

Woods' team members came in and installed the WaterGuard drainage system which catches any water from leaks in the walls and guides it to our Twin Pack sump pump where it is drained. John and Carla can now rest easy knowing that their mold problem is a thing of the past.

Al P. of East Alton, IL had hidden leaks behind his wooden finished walls. Organic materials, like wood, and water do no mix. As seen in the picture, the wooden frames had started to rot so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a waterproofing system.

Woods installed CleanSpace over the foundation walls. CleanSpace is a thick, durable plastic moisture barrier. It prevents water getting into the basement through the walls, instead directing it down to the perimeter drainage system. It’s mold resistant and gives the basement a much brighter and cleaner appearance.

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.
