Before & After Photos

Basement walls were failing in Mason, IL, and water was actively entering it, causing more problems. To solve these issues, the PowerBrace System was first installed. This system is designed to stabilize a home’s foundation permanently. It will support the basement walls and straighten them over time. It will distribute the load evenly and eliminate the worry of damage caused by commonly seen wood floor joists. This system can be tightened over time and requires no invasive drilling or digging. PowerBrace’s brackets are engineered to support the joints and protect the floor system's durability. 

Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls, and drain any leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, draining water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharging it from 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 remain stable and dry for many years to come!

On this job, our team installed Starpipes™ along the walls of the crawl space to ensure proper water drainage under the heavy-duty moisture barriers used in the encapsulation process. Our team also installed a CleanSpace™ in the crawl space to prevent water vapors from creating moisture and mold.  Lastly, our team installed a Discharge Line to drain water from inside the crawl space to the outside. 

On this job, our team installed 13 SmartJacks™ in the crawl space to properly stabilize the surrounding structure. This will help prevent any further damage inside the crawl space, creating a safe and secure space for our customers.

Many homes like this one in O'Fallon, Missouri have items stored in the basement that need to be protected from water damage. Woods Basement Systems installed WaterGuard in this basement, engineered specifically to solve this water problem effectively.

Water seepage ruined wooden subfloors in this leaky Ladue, Missouri basement. Woods Basement Systems designed a waterproofing system with WaterGuard to protect the perimeter of the home from water seepage. Now, this basement is completely dry.
