Stopping all the leaks in this Fairfield, Illinois basement included the installation of our WaterGuard® drainage system and ThermalDry® wall covering for the block foundation so that the homeowner could finish the basement again...for the last time. Repairing the bowing walls were also important for the sake of the warranty and resell value!
These Fairfield, IL homeowners had an old, dirty sump pump that was not able to keep up with the amount of water in and around their basement. They contacted Woods Basement Systems to get an estimate on the cost of replacing the old sump pump as well as other option for waterproofing their basement.
As part of our WaterGuard waterproofing system, the customers selected the TwinPack Sump Pump with a primary and secondary pump. In case of primary pump failure, the secondary pump will kick in. Also, the pumps can work in unison in the case of a large volume of water.
These Fairfield, IL homeowners had a WaterGuard waterproofing system installed in their home. This system included the WaterGuard drainage system, a new sump pump with a primary and secondary pump, as well as the IceGuard on the exterior of the home.
The IceGuard protects the basement from sump pump overflow in the case of frozen or clogged main discharge lines. It allows the water to safely escape from the basement to the outside of the home.
A crawlspace in Mason, IL, was humid and needed to be addressed before concerns of mold emerged. This lead to the homeowner deciding to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used to encapsulate the crawlspace. This highly durable liner will not only make the crawlspace look nicer, but it will also keep outside elements, like humidity, out of the crawlspace. Next, a Sedona™ dehumidifier was used to lower the humidity. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their crawlspace will remain nice and dry for years to come!
