Before & After Photos

Water will find the path of least resistance to get into the basement so any weaknesses in the foundation of a home can allow for major leaks. Tom L. of Saint Charles, MO had large cracks in his foundation walls that leaked water into his basement and created messes so Tom called Woods Basement Systems for a free assessment. Woods recommended installing basement waterproofing system alongside a wall support system.

As part of that system, Woods installed the WaterGuard drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement, as seen in the picture. WaterGuard is installed on top of the concrete footing of the home so it will remain free of clogging mud and debris. It collects water from the foundation walls and floors using its wall flanges and channel holes and directs it to the sump pump for removal

The foundation walls of Tom L.’s Saint Charles, MO home had cracks. Water leaked in from both the cracks and the wall joints and threatened the finished parts of his basement as well as created a mess so Tom L. called Woods Basement Systems. Along with a wall support system, Woods recommended installing a basement waterproofing system.

As part of that waterproofing system, Woods installed the Twin Pack to remove water from the basement through its discharge lines. The Twin Pack contains two powerful cast-iron pumps that sit at different levels within the sump liner. This means that the Twin Pack can keep the basement dry in a range of weather conditions from light showers to heavy downpours.

Tricia E., St. Charles, Missouri homeowner, was distraught to discover that her foundation walls were bowing. Bowing walls are often caused by increased soil pressure against the foundation. System Design Specialist John S. designed a solution to restore her foundation.

Foreman John C. and his team installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors. The acnors are installed into undisturbed soil to ensure a long-lasting solution. Geo-Lock restores the walls to their original position and provides support for the foundation. Tricia is pleased to know her home is now safe. 

Tricia E. of St. Charles, Missouri was concerned about water leaking into her finished basement. Water can cause serious damage to the basement as well as cause mold growth. System Design Specialist John S. designed a solution to waterproof the basement.

Foreman Greg H. installed the TripleSafe sump pump system as part of the waterproofing system. TripleSafe is equipped with a main pump, backup pump, and battery-powered pump to ensure the basement stays dry all the time. As you can see, the TripleSafe was installed in an inconspicuous area, so Tricia and her family can still enjoy their basement as a living area. 

Water leaks tried to damage this St. Charles, Missouri basement, but with the help of the TripleSafe sump pump, these water leaks were unsuccessful! Now this basement will be protected from water damage for several years to come.
