Before & After Photos

A basement in Saint Paul, MO was not insulated properly, leaving the basement cold in the winter. To solve this issue, SilverGlo Insulation Panels were installed. This features a radiant barrier that is infused with graphite particles, so heat will be reflected into the basement. This will save energy in the long run and is water, mold, and fire-resistant. This will keep the basement warm and restore peace of mind for years to come! 

Heather S. from Chesterfield, MO was having issues with her already finished basement leaking at the base of the foundation wall. She called Woods Basement Systems to repair the issue. We installed the WaterGuard drainage track partnered with a TripleSafe sump pump to keep her basement dry. To also bring her basement back to beautiful, the installation team finished the job with the EverLast wall finishing. This inorganic material is not suseptible to water damage and mold, it is also 197% stronger than drywall and stud construction methods!

Water often finds its way into basements as a result of foundation settlement, seeping through the seams where the floor meets the wall, and the only real way to fix this issue is to re-level the foundation. This St. Charles, Missouri homeowner was experiencing these exact problems, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help. In order to lift the foundation, several Push Piers were installed deep under the basement floor and adjusted to raise and support it.

Wendy R. of St. Charles had lot of water leaking into her basement through cracks and seams along her walls and wall joints. The water was staining her walls and threatening her furniture and pool table. Wendy knew she needed help so she called Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

Woods installed BrightWall Wall Panels over the stained, cracked walls. BrightWall panels are white plastic panels attached to the foundation walls that are waterproof and stain resistant. They work with the waterproofing system by forming a vapor barrier over the foundation walls and guide water down to the perimeter drainage system. They also give basements a much cleaner and brighter appearance.

Wendy R. is thrilled with the way her walls now look and happy knowing her furniture is safe from water damage.

This Imperial, Missouri basement remained unfinished and was primarily used for storage until Spring 2020.  The homeowners worked with our Total Basement Finishing Design Specialist, Frank Unger, to layout an all-new floorplan for the basement.  And that's when the transformation began.

These homeowners had already put down their own flooring, but wanted to have the walls done as well. Our specialist knew wood studs, fiberglass insulation, and drywall can spell disaster in the event of a leak or high humidity. So, Woods Basement Systems framed the basement with metal studs and finished the walls with the inorganic EverLast Basement Wall Panels, made from 2 1/2-inch thick rigid foam insulation with 1/2-inch thick cement board cladding. The cement board is finished with an off-white vinyl surface treatment.

What was once a cold, bare, and dark unfinished basement used only for storage is now a beautifully-finished, warm, and bright basement playroom and sewing room.  What a transformation!
