Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A driveway was sinking in Barnhart, MO, causing safety concerns for the homeowners. To solve this issue, PolyLevel™ was used. By drilling pea-sized holes into the concrete and injecting a polyurethane foam underneath, the foam will expand and become rock solid, lifting the concrete slabs up and leveling them within hours. Once the concrete became even, NexusPro™ was used to fill in the cracks. This highly flexible sealant will fill in any gaps in the concrete, while also standing up against harsh weather conditions. With these systems in place, the homeowners can rest easy knowing their driveway is safe to use. 

For many homes with flooded basements, like this one in Fenton, Missouri, a sump pump is a necessary element of a basement waterproofing system. Woods Basement Systems recommends a Zoeller sump pump. This pump was chosen as the best from among nearly 50 models and is very quiet due to the airtight sump pump cover; the discharge line is equipped with 2 rubber fittings for additional sound and vibration reduction.

Helical anchors have been used by Woods Basement Systems to stabilize foundation and retaining walls like this home in Fenton, Missouri for years because of their effectiveness.  Helical anchors are widely accepted and used by engineers, architects, and contractors to stabilize bowing basement walls. In fact, in 1992, wall anchor systems were identified by a Chief Appraiser for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as the most effective means of stabilizing bowing foundation walls.

BEFORE: Water leaked through a crack under the front porch of this Fenton, Missouri basement.

AFTER: Woods Basement Systems repaired the crack and installed a patented interior perimeter drainage system called WaterGuard with a sump pump that keeps this basement completely dry.

This basement in Fenton, Missouri used to have bowing walls and water seepage. Since Woods installed wall anchors, the walls no longer bow, and the leaks have stopped.
