Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Haley M. had water leaking into her beautiful finished basement each time there was a heavy downpour. It was damaging her finished walls and floors and creating messes that required hours of clean up so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement. As seen in the picture, it’s installed under the concrete floor of the basement and has a special wall flange and channel holes to collect water from foundation wall and floors and drain it to the sump pump for removal. WaterGuard sits on top of the concrete footing of the home so won’t become clogged with mud or silt like traditional french drain systems.

There were cracks in the foundation of Robin E.’s Fenton, MO home. The cracks leaked during rainy weather and she noticed that the leaks were getting worse with time so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods found the best solution would be a waterproofing system.

Woods installed the TripleSafe as part of the waterproofing system. The TripleSafe contains a primary, a secondary and a battery back up pump. The primary pump can handle regular volumes of water and when severe weather brings larger volumes, the secondary pump will automatically kick into action to help the primary pump remove the water safely out and away from the basement through its discharge lines. The battery back up pump immediately turns on when there is a power outage and can remove ups to 11,000 gallons of water on a fully charged battery.

It is not a good sign if your basement walls begin to lean. That’s why Phil and Carrie L called Woods Basement Systems when they noticed that it was happening to their walls. System Design Specialist David P came up with a solution to the problem.

Foreman Jeremy R used a Geo-Lock Wall Anchor system, shown above, to straighten the walls Phil and Carrie’s home. The Wall Anchor will attach to stable soil away from your home, it will then attach to your wall and keep it from moving any further than it already has.

Robert K was concerned when he noticed that his basement walls were beginning to bow. So, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. System Design Specialist David P was able to come up with a solution to the problem. 

Foreman Jeremy R installed a PowerBrace in Robert’s basement. The PowerBrace is a system of metal beams that will attach to the walls and keep them from bowing any further than they already have. It will also be able to straighten the walls over time.

Bob M. of Fenton, Missouri discovered that water was entering his home's basement after big storms. He did not want to have to keep cleaning up a mess, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist John S. assessed the situation and decided the perfect option was to install a BrightWall paneling system, a Waterguard drainage system, and a TripleSafe sump pump. Foreman Josh B. then headed to the home to start the job.

Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was installed above the footing of the basement. It collects any water rising from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. It then drains the water to the sump pump.

Bob M. no longer has to worry about his home's basement collecting water after heavy rain storms. He now has a dry and waterproof basement.
