Before & After Photos

In order to avoid damage and costly repairs in the future, waterproofing before finishing a basement is essential. This Maplewood, Missouri homeowner was interested in turning his unfinished basement into an in-law suite. But before he could do that, the constant leaks in the space needed to be dealt with. A Woods Basement Systems team installed several waterproofing measures, including WaterGuard, a gutter-like drainage system that is placed underneath the floor at the base of the walls to catch leaks before they can make it into the space. 

Before, this St. Louis basement experienced water damage due to continuous water leaks that would seep inside. To solve this issue, Team Woods prevented leaks from leaking inside and creating damage by installing a WaterGuard drainage system on the perimeter along with a CleanSpace encapsulation system over the walls. 

Water was leaking in a basement in Saint Louis, MO, so the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that separates it from the soil under the floor so it will never clog. It will also drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Water was entering a basement in Saint Louis, MO, causing mold to grow. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this basement will stay dry and clean for years to come!

A basement was leaking in Maplewood, MO, and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, CleanSpace™ was used first. This highly durable liner will keep outside elements and humidity out. Next, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water. This system sits on top of the soil to prevent it from clogging. Finally, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. Additionally, a battery backup was used to ensure the pump keeps working, even during a power outage. With these systems in place, the homeowner can now rest assured that their basement will remain dry for years to come!
