Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Dorsey, IL. had a sump pump in their basement that wasn't giving them the peace of mind they wanted. So they called Woods Basement Systems and got the pump they needed.

Ben S. was able to come to the home and remove their old sump pump system and install a new TripleSafe™ sump pump. This TripleSafe™ system has three pumps to always keep the basement dry. 

The first pump is a 1/3 horsepower pump that deals with most of the water in the system. If that pump can't keep up, a second, 1/2 horespower pump kicks in to remove water even faster. And if the power goes out or if pumps one and two can't keep up, a third, batter-powered pump will turn on to keep the basement dry. As an extra safety measure, the TripleSafe™ system also features an alarm that can alert homeowners in the event of a plumbling leak or other interior leak.

With a TripleSafe™ sump pump system, these homeowners won't need to worry about water overfilling their sump hole again.

Water was leaking in a Dorsey, IL basement, causing damage to the drywall. To fix this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the sump pump system to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Covering the sump pump pit with a solid cover is a good idea.  Having the sump pump closed prevents water vapor from escaping and raising the humidity level in the basement.  Our SuperSump® sump pump, like the one installed in this Glen Carbon, Illinois home, closes the top with a very sturdy lid, gaskets around the power cord and discharge pipe and has a built-in properly functioning drain.

This Glen Carbon, IL basement was in desperate need of a proper waterproofing system.  Woods Basement Systems installed WaterGuard, an UltraSump, and WellDuct for the leaky window wells.  Now the resident can enjoy a dry basement all the time.

Vania & Mark B. of Glen Carbon, IL had a leaking basement. As a part of their waterproofing system installation, Woods Basement Systems installed a TripleSafe sump pump. It is equipped with a primary and secondary pump as well as a back up pump in the case of primary pump failure.
