Before & After Photos

This Marion, Illinois sump pump was outdated and inefficient. Woods Basement Systems installed a new sump pump with a transferable lifetime warranty that keeps this basement DRY all year round.

Corey K. of Marion, IL had water leaking into his partially finished basement. His painted foundation floors were stained from water seeping in and the wood frames behind his finished walls were water-damaged so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

As part of the system, Woods installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a drainage system that is installed under the concrete floors along the perimeter of the basement, as shown in the pictures. It’s situated away from any mud that may clog it as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors and drains it away to the sump pump for removal.

Corey K. of Marion, IL learned the hard way that it’s best to waterproof a basement before finishing it. His basement was partially finished when an alarming amount of water came leaking in. It stained his painted foundation floors and damaged the wood frames behind his finished walls so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Woods installed the Twin Pack sump pump system as part the waterproofing system. As shown in the picture, the sump liner is sealed with an airtight lid but is still accessible should one of the pumps fail. It contains two powerful, cast-iron pumps to ensure that even in heavy downpours, water is being pumped out and away from the basement through the discharge lines

This basement had years worth of water leaks that affected the walls and floor. Team Woods installed WaterGuard drains around the perimeter of the basement to collect the water leaks before they could enter into the basement and create water damage. This waterproofing project started with no protection and ended with a safe and dry room. 

Eric from Marion, Illinois reached out to Woods Basement Systems to find a solution to keep water leaks out of his basement. Team Woods sent system design specialist, JD M., to the home to evaluate the space and conclude what products would help protect Eric's home from water damage. After looking over the home, JD gave the recommendation of installing a drainage system and a sump pump to keep the house safe and dry.

Foreman, Juan H., lead his team of installers to install the new WaterGuard drainage system into the basement floors. These drains will collect and direct pesky water leaks towards the sump pump. Since the home didn't have a sump pump, a TripleSafe sump pump system was installed to discard of the water leaks. This pump is composed of three pumps that will serve as a dependable system all year round. Thanks to Woods' top waterproofing products, this basement is protected from harmful leaks!
