Before & After Photos

Woods Basement Systems came into this St. Louis, Missouri home to install a new sump pump. Woods Basement Systems offers various waterproofing options including WaterGuard. WaterGuard is unique in that it sits on top of the footing of a home which prevents it from becoming clogged with dirt and mud.

Waterproofing around a fireplace takes experience.  Several times the fireplace in the basement is built off the floor and is not on its own footing.  In this case, the fireplace was built on its own footing so water was coming in at the seam where the side of the fireplace met the floor.  We were able to place our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system right next to the fireplace taking care of this wet basement.

This St. Louis, Missouri stone foundation had a large pour of concrete up against the wall completed before the basement floor was poured.  This acts as a support to the lowest row of stones and looks like a raised footing since the actual concrete floor is against it and not the stone wall.  Our WaterGuard® waterproofing system in combination with our other products can waterproof the top and the raised concrete and the floor together.  The water is collected and drained to our sump pump system.  This homeowner was installing their own wall vapor barrier before finishing the basement.

Having a large sump pump pit with a single pump is not enough to keep your basement dry all the time. For this St. Louis, Missouri basement, we installed our TripleSafe® sump pump system, which has three pumps.  One is a battery backup sump pump.  It also has a sealed lid, radon safe floor drain in the lid for condensation lines, high water alarm which can be designed to notify you on a smart device or home security system, and pump stands for elevating one of the other two pumps to alternate when they would run and pump water out of the basement.

A foundation in St. Louis was shifting from its original location due to settlement. Push Piers were installed to help the foundation move back towards its original location and narrow gaps and cracks.
