Before & After Photos

A basement in Saint Louis, MO, was leaking and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement and direct it to the nearest sump pump. This system won't get clogged because it sits horizontally on top of the soil. Next, a sump pump was used 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. With these systems in place, the homeowner can have peace of mind knowing their basement will remain dry all the time. 

Air conditioners tend to get really cold when they are on for long periods of time especially during this time of year. hot warm air moving against your AC pipes in your basements allow for water drops to form and they begin to drip onto your walls and floor allowing water to build up and make new openings for other water to enter. 

Bruce and Christa bought the WaterGuard system and the CleanSpace wall coverings to keep water from covering the floor of their basement. The BrightWall covering will keep all the water behind it and move it down to the WaterGuard drainage system connected to their SumpPump. This system and wall coverings will keep their basement dryer and looking clean and bright for weeks to come. 

Dennis W. of Oakville, MO noticed water leaking into his finished basement. System Design Specialist Mike T. determined that a full perimeter waterproofing system complete with a sump pump would be the best solution for Dennis. 

Foreman Mike P. and his crew discovered the best area to put the TripleSafe sump pump would be the laundry area as it was the lowest spot in the basement. The TripleSafe sump pump includes a primary and secondary pump as well as a battery backup pump in the case of primary pump failure. Now Dennis can enjoy his basement knowing it is protected from future water leaks.

Andrea S. of Mehlville, Missouri was distraught by water leaking into her basement. System design specialist Chad B. designed a solution to ensure her basement stays dry.

Foreman Ryan L. and his team installed WaterGuard and TripleSafe as part of the waterproofing system. Pictured is the IceGuard. IceGuard is installed to the exterior discharge line to provide water with an exit in the event that the lines become clogged or frozen. 

Andrea is pleased with this system knowing her basement will stay dry all the time.

Larry P. of Oakville, MO thought he his basement's water problem had been taken care of by a waterproofing system installed by a different company. That was until water began flooding into an area of the basement that hadn't flooded before so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods determined the best solution was to install a waterproofing system that would extend the one already in place to the full perimeter of the basement.

Woods installed WaterGuard as part of the new waterproofing system. WaterGuard is a drainage system that is installed along the foundation walls, under the floors of the basement (as shown in the picture). It will remain free of mud as it collects unwanted water coming in through the foundation walls and floors and drains it away to the sump pump for removal.
