Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Soil pressure had severely damaged the block walls of Gene H.’s rental property in Maryland Heights. They were bowing inward to an alarming degree so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended Geo-Lock Channel Wall Anchors.

Geo-Lock Channel Wall Anchors are used when damage to the walls is very severe and they need to be straightened immediately to return structural integrity to the home. Woods removed soil from the outside of the wall to relieve the pressure as they connected long channel wall plates to earth anchors buried in the yard with steel anchor rods. The anchor rods were tightened to straighten the wall back to a more sound position and permanently stabilize the foundation walls. Geo-Lock Channel Anchors also prevent any future damage, like bowing and cracking, to the walls.

Maryland Heights, Missouri homeowner Tom needed the patio around his pool to be leveled to increase the safety of the area for his family and friends. He gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Mike developed a plan for him. 

Foreman Mason and his crew injected PolyLevel under the patio for Tom. The PolyLevel is a light weight, quick settling solution to concrete slab settling. Within hours it is ready to walk on again and the PolyLevel will not wash out or cause more settling over time. 

Tome can now enjoy his pool knowing the area is no longer a trip hazard and looks nicer. 

Gary S. of Maryland Heights, Missouri needed a new waterproofing system, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help. Systems design specialist, Pete L. recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard. 

Foreman, Greg H. installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump helps your home with three different pumps included: a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery-powered backup pump. WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter of the basement floor and it works to collect water that seeps through basement walls and guides it to the sump pump to be removed from the home. 

Now Gary S. has a dry basement. 

A foundation was cracking in Maryland Heights, MO, and water was leaking from them. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were first installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation and return the walls to their original position. Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry, clean, and stable for years to come!
