Before & After Photos

The basement is the most sensitive area for water leaks, is your home prepared? This homeowner took protective precaution by installing WaterGuard drains to the perimeter of the basement to collect the water leaks and send them towards the basement sump pump to be pumped back outside. 

An ineffective sump pump can be disastrous for a basement. If the pump cannot keep up with the water flow, then flooding is inevitable. This Affton, Missouri homeowner had experienced that very issue with his old sump pump, and he was eager to get it replaced. The experts at Woods Basement Systems installed a brand new TripleSafe sump system. Equipped with three independently operating pumps and capable of pumping well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour at an 8 foot head, the TripleSafe is truly the king of home sump pumps!

In Saint Louis, Missouri homeowners Peter and Barb W. were having trouble with their basement. They were having water and foundation problems and were unsure of how to fix them, so they decided to call Woods Basement Systems. Woods has the solutions to any foundation or waterproofing problems you may have in the home.

We sent our foreman Chase Kern out to the Granite City home to install some solutions to the couple’s problem. First, our team waterproofed the basement using several of our patented products such as WaterGuard, IceGuard, and TripleSafe. Next the tackled the foundation problems, installing our patented PowerBrace System onto the foundation walls of the basement. Now the home is dry and stable for homeowners Peter and Barb.

This before and after shows the products and solutions offered by Woods to waterproof a Saint Louis, MO basement.

A basement wall in Saint Louis, MO was leaking water, causing mold to grow and cause damage. To solve this issue, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This is an economical way to cover ugly walls, stop water vapor from permeating them, and drain wall leaks. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Next, the WaterGuard System was installed. 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. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This high-capacity, high-efficiency dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the crawlspace. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the sump system, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!
