Before & After Photos

The concrete flooring in this Wood River basement was suffering due to water damage, making it an unpleasant presentation of the basement. Our Woods team used WaterGuard™ to stop water damage in its tracks. This homeowner can live comfortably knowing that the basement is safe from water damage.

A basement in Wood River, IL, was leaking during heavy rain and needed to be addressed before concerns of mold emerged. This was distressing to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used to encapsulate the walls of the basement. This highly durable liner will keep the humidity out. Next, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits horizontally on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Then, a sump pump was installed to discharge the collected water out of the basement. 

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.
