Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A foundation wall was bowing inward in a basement in Woodson Terrace, MO, causing large cracks to appear and leak water. To solve this issue, the PowerBrace System was installed. This will permanently stabilize the foundation and eliminate any further inward movement. This will also reverse the effects of wall failure, straightening the walls to their original position and closing the cracks to prevent water leakage. This foundation will now remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!

The foundation of this St. Louis home had moved from its original location. Owners Dan and Carol called Woods Basement Systems to see what was going on and how to get this situation corrected. After sitting down with one of our system design specialist, they found that their old piers had been oxidised and needed to be replaced.  There were also signs of water coming in over there footing and the owners wanted this corrected before it got worse. Therefore, Waterguard as well as new Push Piers were installed and now the house is saved. In addition to saving the home, the property values increased too.

Simply painting a wall does not keep the water out.  Groundwater was bleeding through the foundation wall and seeping in at the wall-floor joint.  To make matters worse, the foundation had settled.  Woods Basement Systems installed push piers to stabilize the foundation and protect against further settlement, and the crew installed additional WaterGuard perimeter drainage to complete the existing waterproofing system and keep the whole basement dry.

The TripleSafe sump pump system was installed in this St Louis basement to replace the old, failing pump.

IceGuard was installed outside of this St Louis home to prevent the backup of water into the TripleSafe sump pump system in the event the discharge lines were frozen or clogged.
