Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A basement in Lake Saint Louis, MO, was leaking during heavy. This needed to be addressed, so the homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits horizontally on top of the soil to prevent clogging. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry during heavy rain. 

A basement wall in Lake Saint Louis, MO, was bowing and humid. This needed to be addressed before the problem gets worse, so the homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve the issue of humidity, CleanSpace™ was used to encapsulate the basement walls. This highly durable liner will keep the humidity, and other outside elements, out of the basement. Next, GeoLock™ wall anchors were used to stabilize the bowing walls. This system works with heavy duty steel anchors that are buried some ways away from the home and connected to the home using steel rods. These rods are then attached to steel wall plates that are placed directly on the wall. As the rods are tightened, they pull the wall back into place. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement wall is dry and stable.

A driveway in Lake Saint Louis, MO had unprotected concrete joints. The homeowner reached out to Woods, and we had a solution that had a quick installation time and long-term adhesion. To seal the deal, the crew used NexusPro Joint Sealant to protect the concrete joints from water or debris infiltration. Not only is it UV-resistant, but it also comes in a variety of colors to match your concrete. Now the homeowner's concrete joints will be sealed and protected from outside elements! 

BEFORE: This Defiance, Missouri home dealt with window well issues and cracks that caused water to leak into the basement.

AFTER: This once leaky basement is now dry and more inviting than ever. Woods basement repaired the wall cracks, installed a waterproofing system and remodeled the basement using ZenWall—a thick encapsulated fiberglass core with a reflective foil vapor barrier on the back side and a decorative vinyl finish on the front side.

Foundation settling problems can be accomplished by placing the Foundation SupportWorks® pier bracket directly below the vertical basement wall.  The pier may either be placed on the inside of the basement to save landscaping or on the outside to adjust for the wall rotating outward.  In this case the problem was caught early and the push piers were installed in the interior.  When installed this way, soil does need to be excavated, but our experts make sure to clean up after themselves and the homeowner will never even be able to tell that we were there...besides the fact that they will now have a straight, stable wall!
