Leaky, Moldy City Hall Basement in Richmond Heights, MO Fitted With TripleSafe

The basement of Richmond Heights's City Hall had water leaking through cracks in the walls and mold growing throughout the space. One of the most important contributing factors in the basement issues was the old, inefficient sump pump. As seen in the lefthand picture, it was little more than a hole in the ground with some PVC protruding. 

In order for a basement to be truly waterproof, it must have a functional, effective sump pump. This is exactly what the City Hall recieved when our patented TripleSafe sump system was installed. Pictured on the right, the new system is clearly a different animal from the old. The TripleSafe system includes three independently operating pumps. Pump number one does the lion's share of the pumping in normal conditions, and pump number two kicks in if and when there is too much water for the first one. If by some chance the first two pumps can't keep up, a third, battery operated pump that is capable of pumping out over 12,000 gallons per hour will kick on. 

 With this new pump, along with the WaterGuard and CleanSpace systems that were also installed, there should be no problem keeping the basement water-free!

 

Water Leaking by Fireplace in Richmond Heights, MO Eliminated with WaterGuard

Water was leaking by a fireplace in Richmond Heights, MO. To solve this issue, 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. This basement will remain clean and dry for years to come!

Leveling and Sealing Sinking Sidewalk in Saint Louis, MO

A sidewalk in Saint Louis, MO, was unleveled, resulting in large gaps to form in between the concrete slabs. This needed to be addressed before safety concerns appeared, so the homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, PolyLevel™ was used. By drilling pea-sized holes into the concrete and injecting a polyurethane foam underneath, the foam expands to lift and level the concrete slabs. This foam also hardens to become rock solid within hours. Next, NexusPro™ was used to fill in the gaps in between the concrete slabs. This system will withstand any harsh weather. With these systems in place, the homeowner can now rest easy knowing their sidewalk is in great shape!
