A basement in Saint Charles, MO, was leaking during heavy and needed to be addressed before concerns of mold arise. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that enters the basement and direct it to the nearest sump pump. This system won't get clogged, due to its horizontal design that sits on top of the soil. Next, a sump pump was used to discharge the water out of the basement. The sump pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure the pump keeps working, even during a power outage. Then, IceGuard™ was used to ensure the pipes do not get blocked by ice or snow. Finally, a drainage line was used to carry the water away from the home. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement is in great shape!
Saint Charles, Missouri homeowner Tom had worked with Woods Basement Systems before for a sump pump. He gave us a call back when he wanted to extend his waterproofing needs and System Design Specialist Todd developed a plan for him.
Foreman John and his crew installed the WaterGuard for Tom. The WaterGuard is specially designed to collect water that gets in through gaps in construction. This water comes in through the perimeter of the foundation. This means that water can sit on the drywall in these areas and cause it to mold and rot.
By doing a half-wall restoration and using EverLast Walls we can make the air healthier by removing the mold and rot. EverLast Walls will not support future mold and rot and are designed to be easy to clean and be resistant to damage.
Tom can now enjoy his basement knowing it is not only dry but it is also healthier.
A Saint Charles, MO resident was tired of dealing with a wet basement every time it rained. The basement did not have a proper waterproofing system, so there was nothing to carry the water to the sump pump and out of the home. The homeowner wanted to use his unfinished basement for storage but could not do so because of the incoming water.
Woods installed WaterGuard and replaced the unreliable sump pump with a SuperSump in order to permanently waterproof the basement.
Thomas Y. of St. Charles, Missouri noticed that his home's basement was collecting water. He did not want to have to clean up a mess after every heavy rain shower, so he called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.
Design specialist Adam R. assessed the situation and decided the best option was to install a Twin Pack sump pump and a Waterguard drainage system. Foreman Melvin F. traveled to the home to install the waterproofing products.
The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement and was then covered with concrete. It collects any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. It then drains the water to the sump pump.
Frank M. of St. Charles, Missouri noticed that his basement was flooding after heavy rain showers. He did not want to have to clean up a mess continously, so he called Woods Basement Systems.
Design specialist Jeremy R. assessed the situation and came up with the perfect solution. Foreman Melvin F. traveled to the home to install a TripleSafe sump pump and a Waterguard drainage system.
The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement. After it was installed, it was covered with concrete. The Waterguard collects any water that is rising from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. It then drains the water to the sump pump.
Frank M. no longer has to worry about water flooding his home's basement. He know has a dry and waterproof home.
