Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A basement in Bonne Terre, MO, was leaking during heavy rain, causing distress to the homeowner. This needed to be addressed, so the homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement. This system is installed horizontally, on top of the soil, to prevent any clogging from occurring. Next, the sump pump was used to discharge the water out of the basement.  This sump pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure the pump keeps working, even during a power outage. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement is in great shape!

This Weldon Springs, Missouri basement suffered from foundation settlement, leaking walls, and basement flooding.  The homeowners would vacuum up as much as 10 gallons of water during heavy rains.

Woods Basement Systems installed the CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier system to seal off the cracked and leaky basement walls, the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, and the TripleSafe sump pump system with battery backup.  The foundation was also piered to prevent further settlement.

The best repair option for foundation wall failure is the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System.  Galvanized steel rods are driven to the outside and connected to a galavnized steel Geo-Lock earth anchor.  On the inside, a heavy-duty wall plate is installed.  These plates are just 14" wide to allow them to fit between standard 16" studs in finished basements.  The system is tightened for wall straightening.

It's always a good idea to maintain some level of access to the anchor system post-install, should any future maintenance or tightening be necessary.  Wall anchor covers are available to make the anchors more discreet.  In this case, the homeowner decided to drywall over the anchors and leave openings small enough to tighten the anchors over time.

Jon C. of St. Charles, Missouri was distraught by water leaking into his basement and risking damage to his valuables. The TripleSafe sump pump systems assures that his basement will stay dry. Unlike the original pump, TripleSafe is sealed closed so no water escapes to increase basement humidty and nothing gets in to cause clogs.

St. Charles, Missouri resident Jon C. was unhappy with his wet basement. He was at risk for water damage and mold. The WaterGuard perimeter drainage system was the perfect solution to his problem. WaterGuard guides water to his newly installed TripleSafe sump pump system to pump water out of his basement. With the WaterGuard and TripleSafe, Jon's basement has been transformed from wet and risky to dry and comfortable.
