Steve didn't like how the water from his sump pump was being pumped out by his patio.  After calling Woods Basement Systems and having them come to the house, a solution was found.  LawnScape would be the best option to make sure Steve's patio would be safe from potential water damage.  Woods installed a discharge line that was buried and directed towards the side of the house.  Then at the end of that line, LawnScape was installed.  Now the water flows away from the patio and away from the house.

Tim was living a very uncomfortable life in his Moscow Mills home. His first floor and master bedroom were drafty, the insulation from the laundry room was filling soffits, which restricted air flow, and on top of all that, Tim was basically paying to live in discomfort through his energy bills.

Dr. Energy Saver was on the case. By using the Stack Effect principle, where air leaking out of the home causes air to in, we were able to see that unwanted air was being sucked into the basement and the good conditioned air was escaping from the attic. Dr. Energy Saver installed rim joists and use spray foam in the basement to create a thermal barrier against air leaking in to reduce the first floor draft and used similar tactics to handle the comfort abilities and energy costs in the home.

Tim can now live in complete contentment thanks to Dr. Energy Saver.

Foreman Jeremy R. and his crew installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors in the two walls of the basement. These cracks were being caused by the pressure of the dirt and water outside the home. Overtime it had caused the walls to bow and crack. 

Geo-Lock Wall Anchors are the perfect solution for this becasue they provide the resistance needed by the wall. By drilling a steel rod back into the inactive soil and attaching it to a steel anchor placed out there and a steel plate anchor on the interior wall, the rod can use the force of the Earth to straighten the wall. As it needs more resistance the rods can be tightened from inside the home to return the wall to its original poisition. 

Maureen and John can now rest assured their home will be sturdy for decades to come.

Angel L. of Troy, Missouri was interested in repairing his front walkway. Over the years, it had become badly cracked and sunken in several places. It was simply an eyesore, and Angel called Woods Basement Systems for help. 

In order to repair the damaged concrete, foreman Malik and his team used PolyLevel. This expanding composite foam was injected underneath the sunken slabs to lift them and fill in the cracks. Because PolyLevel is quick-drying, the walkway was set and ready to be walked on in under 30 minutes!

Air movement into the crawl from the outside would let in cold winter air and hot humid air in the summer.  With an unsealed crawl space the rooms above that area were uncomfortable.  Seasonally, smells would also get into the home.  Additionally, water that got into the crawl space help mold to grown.  Mold also will damage the wood structure of the home over time.  

We encapsulated the entire crawl space, walls and dirt floor.  The vapor barrier is a 20 mill thick material called CleanSPACE™ that will block air movement and smells from getting up into the home.  We also airsealed the rim joist with foam insulation making this home more comfortable and energy efficent.

Homeowner Marion L. of Saint Louis, Missouri was concerned about the leak that began in her basement after a storm.

Our foremen Tyler Sears and his team were sent out to the Saint Louis home to install the perfect solution to Marion’s problem.

As soil outside naturally expands due to weather conditions it can press against foundation walls, causing cracking and bowing. These damaged walls can even collapse if not fixed soon enough. Often, patching the cracks with fresh concrete will just break again as it doesn't protect against the pressure from the expanding soil.

The walls in this Troy, MO. home were beginning to crack inward from the exterior pressure. Homeowner Lynelle S. contacted Woods Basement Systems to fix the issue before it became too late. The answer to these cracked walls is the wall anchor system. This system works by connecting an anchor plate buried outside to a plate on the inside of the wall. The inside plate is pulled towards the anchor, strengthening and straightening the wall permanently. 

These cracks might have grown into more serious damage or even a collapsed wall, but with wall anchors in place Lynelle S. can relax knowing the problem has been permanently fixed. 

When finishing a basement, it is important to install waterproofing systems to protect the finished walls and floors from leaks and floods. 

In this basement in Winfield, MO., foreman Cory S. installed WaterGuard™ below the the floor to protect the finished walls and floors. WaterGuard™ sits just on top of the footing near the foundation wall. Water that builds up by the footing will eventually rise into the gap between the floor and the wall - right where WaterGuard™ sits. By sitting above the footing, WaterGuard™ is kept out of the mud around the footing but can still drain water away before it can rise to the level of the floor. WaterGuard™ also has a protected gap between the floor and the wall that is designed to capture any water leaking down from the wall, preventing it from pooling up on the floor and damaging the finished floors. 

WaterGuard™ is also an excellent choice for finished basements becuase it can be hidden away by the finished walls and floors. Once installed, walls or floors can be replaced over top of it, hiding it from view. That way the basement can be protected without worrying about the finished walls or floors being damaged by leaks rising from below the floor or leaking down the wall. 

This finished basement in Winfield, MO. is protected against water leaks without any unsightly waterproofing systems ruining the finished look.
