Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

Mike W. had water coming into his finished basement and ruining his belongings. He had an old sump pump from a different company that had completely stopped working so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a waterproofing system that included a TripleSafe (as shown in the picture). 

The TripleSafe contains two powerful cast iron pumps and a battery back up pump. If the primary pump fails or can't keep up with the rising water, the secondary pump kicks in to ensure the basement stays dry even in heavy downpours and the battery back up pump keeps water out of the basement if there's a power outage.

From the before photo you can see that this uneven sidewalk was a dangerous tripping hazard for these Frontenac, MO homeowners. With PolyLEVEL injection foam Woods' crews were able to level the sidewalk with minimal down time, these homeowners were able to use their step and sidewalk just 15 minutes after completion of the project! This product will never deteriorate, forever keeping these concrete slabs in their correct position. 

Allen B. of Frontenac, Missouri discovered that his basement was collecting water after heavy rain showers. He did not want to have to clean up a mess every time it stormed, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist Jake S. assessed the situation and decided that a full waterproofing system would solve all the problems that the homeowner was facing. Foreman William H. then traveled to the home to get the project started.

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, is one of the key parts of the waterproofing system. The Waterguard drainage system was placed below the footing of the basement and was then covered with concrete. It collects any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. It then drains it to the sump pump.

Allen B. no longer has to worry about his home's basement flooding. He now has a dry and waterproof basement.

Judy P. of Westwood, Missouri discovered water was collecting in her home's crawl space every time it stormed. She knew standing water could cause mold growth and rotting, so she called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist John S. assessed the situation and decided the best option was to install a CleanSpace encapsulation system, a SmartPipe drainage system, a SmartSump sump pump, and a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. Foreman Brett J. then head to the home to get the job started.

The CleanSpace encapsulation system, pictured above, is a durable liner that was placed on the floor and up the walls of the crawl space. It acts as a vapor barrier and drains leaks that may occur behind it. 

Judy P. no longer has to worry about her home's crawl space flooding after big storms. Her home now has a waterproof and dry crawl space.

St. Louis, MO homeowner Dawn was concerned about her wet basement. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Adam R. determined where the water could be coming from and developed a plan for Dawn. 

Foreman Miguel O. and his crew solved one area by installing an exterior trench drain at the garage entrance. 

When water does not drain properly, it can pool at the foundation. This happens because the backfill soil around the home is not as compact, so there are more openings for water to get into to. Since water wants to be level, when it gets into this backfill area it will find anyway possible to level. This often means coming through the foundation from cracks, gaps, holes, and through the pourous materials. 

By installing an exterior drain and a discharge line, we can collect this water and direct it downhill before it has a chance to cause any problems. 

Along with waterproofing with CleanSpace, WaterGuard, and a TwinPack sump pump, Dawn know is assured her basement will remain dry.
