Before & After Photos

Meri S. of Mattoon, Illinois, had water leaking in her basement near her staircase, so she decided to call Woods Basement Systems. Systems design specialist, Luke B. recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump, WaterGuard, and IceGuard. 

Foreman, Tyler S. installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump is guaranteed to to keep your home dry with its three-in-one design that includes a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery-powered backup pump. WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter of the basement floor and it works to collect water that seeps through the walls. It then guides that water to the sump pump where it can be fully removed from the house. 

Now Meri S. has a watertight basement. 

This Mattoon, Illinois basement was ravaged with leaks during extended periods of rain. It seemed that at least once a month, the basement would fill with nearly a quarter-inch of water, requiring constant cleanup. In order to waterproof this space, a Woods Basement Systems team installed a WaterGuard drainage system. These gutter-like drains are place underneath the floor at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water. 

A sump pump was failing to pump out the amount of water that was entering it in Mattoon, IL, so the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from common 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 system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This basement will now have no issue staying dry thanks to this system!

Atwood, Illinois resident, Steven M. was concerned about his crawl space. Not only was it wet and musty, but the crawl space was also poorly insulated. Greg B., System Design Specialist, inspected the crawl space and designed a solution. 

James L. and his team installed SilverGlo. SilverGlo is insulation designed for the crawl space. It creates a vapor barrier, so it keeps moisture out and won't rot. SilverGlo keeps the cold air out  and reflects heat back into the crawl space for maximum energy savings.

Atwood, Illinois homeowner, was troubled by his wet crawl space. Water seeped into the crawl space through his block foundation. System Design Specialist Greg B. designed a solution to keep his crawl space dry.

As part of the solution, Foreman James L. installed SmartSump. SmartSump is a sump pump system designed for crawl spaces. It works with the Clean Space crawl space encapsulation system to ensure the crawl space stays dry.
