Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Water leaking into the basement was mostly staying behind the drywall and collecting in a homemade cedar closet.  The water was leaking frequently enough to cause mold to grow in the basement and go unnoticed in the closet.  The basement odor and humidity finally prompted the homeowner to call us for a free inspection.  We installed our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system.  This system comes with a written transferable warranty!

Water seepage is typical at the wall and floor seam in a basement.  WaterGuard® is an exclusive product we offer that will not clog like drain tile which is dug out and placed beneath the basement floor in the "mud" zone.

WaterGuard® only collects the water that once was getting on top of the basement floor, and allows it to flow directly to a sump pump.  WaterGuard® basement waterproofing also allows leaks from a block foundation that comes through a wall crack to get into our drainage system and out of the home.

Every basement remodeling project should start with the best waterproofing system available, our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system.  Why spend $10,000+ in materials just to take the chance they would get wet?  Then prepping the basement floor and walls comes next.  Using our Basement to Beautiful™ wall panels and ThermalDry® flooring will ensure that your finished basement will be mold-free!

NOTE: See inside the cardboard box left in the second photo to see the underside of the ThermalDry® flooring.

Now that a bowed wall is securely anchored, what are the options for finishing?

In an utility room like in this Pontoon Beach, Illinois home, the homeowners painted the foundation wall and added our Foundation Supportworks® anchor plate covers to cover up the wall anchors.

What was once a wet, uninhabitable space, has been transformed into a warm and comfortable living space. This Kirkwood, Missouri basement remodel included the addition of a full bathroom.

Old, single-pane windows were replaced with modern, energy-efficient windows that brighten up the bathroom.  The deep window sills provide a place for plants and other decorative items in the window.  In the event of a plumbing leak, the ceiling tiles, basement walls, and flooring materials are now mold-resistant.
