Before & After Photos

A basement in Saint Louis, MO, was leaking and needed a strong waterproofing system to keep it dry all the time. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement. This system won't get clogged, due to its horizontal design that sits on top of the soil. Next, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. This 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 with ice or snow during the colder winter months. 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 dry and in great shape! 

A patio in Saint Louis, MO was sinking, causing uneven concrete slabs. The homeowner reached out to Woods and we had the perfect solution to level their patio. Our PolyLevel™ System consists of a durable foam that is injected into the concrete. Once it sets and expands, the concrete lifts back to its original position. Now the homeowner can use their patio hassle-free for years to come! 

Mike W. had an alarming amount of water coming into his basement through his foundation walls. He was tired of the water damaging his walls and belongings so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a waterproofing system.

As part of the waterproofing system, Woods installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a drainage system installed under the concrete floors of the basement and against the foundation walls. It will remain clog free as it collects water encroaching on the basement from the foundation walls and floors and drain it away to the sump pump for removal.  

Mike W. had water coming into his finished basement and ruining his belongings. He had an old sump pump from a different company that had completely stopped working so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a waterproofing system that included a TripleSafe (as shown in the picture). 

The TripleSafe contains two powerful cast iron pumps and a battery back up pump. If the primary pump fails or can't keep up with the rising water, the secondary pump kicks in to ensure the basement stays dry even in heavy downpours and the battery back up pump keeps water out of the basement if there's a power outage.

Allen B. of Frontenac, Missouri discovered that his basement was collecting water after heavy rain showers. He did not want to have to clean up a mess every time it stormed, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Jake S. assessed the situation and decided that a full waterproofing system would solve all the problems that the homeowner was facing. Foreman William H. then traveled to the home to get the project started.

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, is one of the key parts of the waterproofing system. The Waterguard drainage system was placed below 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 it to the sump pump.

Allen B. no longer has to worry about his home's basement flooding. He now has a dry and waterproof basement.
