Before & After Photos

Richard C. of Granite City, IL had water coming in his basement where the foundation wall met the floor. He contacted Woods Basement Systems to have a free evaluation.

Specialist Nolan M. determined that the WaterGuard waterproofing system was the best solution. One obstable he faced was the basement stairs, but he was able to customize the solution for Richard.

Foreman Brad P. and his crew were able to remove the bottom two stairs, place the WaterGuard in the floor, and replace the bottom two stairs once the concrete was dry. 

Richard can now enjoy a fully waterproofed basement and store his valuables with peace of mind.

Hannah W. of Granite City, Illinois noticed that water was coming in through the windows and up through the floor in her home's basement. Even though she already had a working sump pump, she was still having problems. She called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

Design specialist Peter N. assessed the situation and decided the perfect solution was to install a Waterguard drainage system and a couple well ducts. Foreman Mason S. then headed to the home to get the job started. The well ducts, pictured above, provided an exit route for water entering through the windows by connecting the well duct to the Waterguard. Water is then drained to the sump pump and out of the home.

Hannah W. no longer has to worry about water coming through her basement's windows or floor. She now has a dry and waterproof home.

These homeowners were concerned about water pooling in their basement with nowhere to go. Design Specialist Thomas W. from Woods Basement Systems met with them and recommended the ideal solution to their problem.

Team Woods installed WaterGuard drains to remove the unwanted water. WaterGuard is installed under the floor clab for clog-free drainage with a minimal appearance to fit any basement.

This home in Granite City, IL had a sump pump system with two pipes to allow water to be pumped out of their home and away from their foundation.

To accomodate the water flow - and to keep it from just sinking back toward the basement - Corey S. installed a buried drainage pipe that would carry water from the pump away from the house and to a suitable location. 

First, Corey dug up trenches to allow room for the drain pipes. He also installed IceGuard™ on the drain pipes so that water will continue to flow from the sump pumps and out of the home in the event of a clogged or frozen pipe.

Finally, the whole discharge line was burried to hide it from view. Now this home will be able to drain water away - even in the winter - and with no unsightly pipes above the ground. 

WaterGuard drains were installed in this Granite City, Illinois basement to keep pesky water leaks out. This french drainage system is installed in the footing of the basement walls to collect and direct water leaks to move them towards the sump pump. From there the sump pump will pump the water leaks back outside where they belong. This album will show the condition of the basement before and after the new French drainage system was installed.
