The before photo shows the problem area that would flood in times of heavey rain, causing water to enter the garage and even part of the home. These Cisne, IL homeowners called Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate to correct the issue. Fortunately our system design specialist, Greg B., was able to create a custom solution to permanently solve the problem. In the after photo you can see the outdoor drainage track fully installed into the concrete slab. This will keep access water from building up during heavy rains and keep this home and garage dry!
Years of water leaks had accumulated into this basement, but with the help of Team Woods, this was stopped! Team Woods installed a TripleSafe sump pump into the corner to collect and pump out pesky water leaks that snuck into the basement.
To stop water damage from developing in this wet basement, Team Woods installed WaterGuard drains into the footing of the basement walls. These drains are installed in the footing so that they are able to collect and direct water leaks to the home's sump pump system.
A sump pump was failing to operate in a Shumway, IL, basement, so it was replaced with a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This basement will now remain dry and clean for years to come!
This Flora, Illinois basement used to get flooded with several inches of water during thunderstorms. The basement was damp, dark, and dirty no matter what the homeowners tried. Since Woods Basement Systems has installed a full-perimeter waterproofing system with battery back-up sump pump, powerful dehumidifier, and basement wall system, Margie's basement is bright and dry.
