Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Any weaknesses in the foundation, like cracks or the joint between the foundation walls and floors, can allow a large amount water to get into the basement. The foundations walls in Jolene B.’s De Soto, MO home were cracked, causing numerous leaks in her basement so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing both a wall support system and waterproofing system.

As part of that waterproofing system, Woods installed the WaterGuard drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement, as seen in the picture. WaterGuard sits on top of the concrete footing of the home to keep it mud-free as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors and drains it to the sump pump for removal.

A De Soto, MO homeowner was looking to seal moisture out of her crawlspace. System Design Specialist John S. inspected the home and devised the ideal solution for her issue.

Team Woods installed CleanSpace to protect her crawlspace. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that protects crawlspaces from moisture, mold, and mildew. 

Jessica of De Soto, Missouri wanted to update her wet and musty crawlspace. She decided to give Woods Basement Systems a call to see what the best possible solution for her crawlspace was. Upon further inspection, system design specialist, John S. recommended the installation of CleanSpace with the compatible drain matts. 

CleanSpace is used to create a vapor barrier from the soil beneath the crawlspace. CleanSpace completely lines the entire space, which provides a vapor resistant area. CleanSpace is recommended to prevent the creation of mold and mildew in the foundation of your home. The CleanSpace drainage matting was also recommended to prevent flooding in the crawlspace. 

Foreman, James L. and his crew quickly installed CleanSpace throughout the entire space with the CleanSpace drainage matt below the CleanSpace lining. This crawlspace is now ready to protect against any harsh weather!

Water present in crawl spaces is an all too common issue, and its commonality tends to belie how serious it can be. Moisture can lead to mold growth, air quality issues, and even structural damage. Because of this, it's very important to address the issue as soon as possible. This De Soto, Missouri homeowner contacted the experts at Woods Basement Systems to solve his crawl space problems. Among other things, a Woods team installed a CleanSpace encapsulation system throughout the entirety of the crawl space to seal out the dirt and moisture and prevent mold growth.

Water was entering a garage in De Soto, MO, causing damage. To solve this issue, the TrenchDrain System was installed. This surface drainage system will catch the water that leaks through the door before it can enter the garage. The WaterGuard System will also help carry this water, as well as any that leaks down the walls and guide it toward the sump pump to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this garage will remain dry and clean for years to come!
