Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

The commercial property Suzanne S. owned in Saint Louis, MO had a very wet, leaky basement. The sump pump that was meant to take care of the water problem was no longer working and its open pit made it hazardous as well as allowed water to evaporate and make the basement air humid so Suzanne called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended replacing the sump pump and installing a new waterproofing system.

Woods replaced the old, nonfunctional sump pump with the Twin Pack as part of the new waterproofing system. The Twin Pack contains two powerful cast iron pumps in its airtight sealed sump liner. The pumps sit at different levels within the liner and will kick in automatically when water levels rise in the pit which gives two layers of protection against severe weather.

This commercial property in Saint Louis, MO had major moisture issues in the basement. Water leaked in through the foundation wall and floors and the open sump pit allowed even more water to evaporate in the air which created a very humid environment that this small store-bought dehumidifier was no match for. The owner Suzanne S. called Woods Basement Systems and a basement waterproofing system was recommended.

Woods replaced the small store-bought dehumidifier with the SaniDry dehumidifier as part of that waterproofing system. The SaniDry is an energy star rated dehumidifier, which means it’s as energy efficient as smaller units but much more powerful. It can remove up to 109 pints of water from the air in a day. By keeping the relative humidity low, the SaniDry prevents conditions that foster mold growth and create musty smells.

Suzanne S. owned a commercial property in Saint Louis, MO that had a basement that had major water leakages. Water came in through the stone foundation walls and wall joints and flooded the basement regularly to the point that it really couldn’t be a useful space so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods found the best solution would be a basement waterproofing system.

Woods installed the WaterGuard drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is situated on top of the concrete footing of the home so it won’t become clogged with silt and plant debris like other drainage systems. It captures water from the joint where the foundation floors and walls meet, the area most susceptible to leaks, and guides it to the sump pump for removal.

A basement in St. Louis, Missouri, had some supports that were starting to fail due to foundation settlement. This was causing the floors above to sag and needed to be addressed right away. Woods came out and installed the SmartJack System. This system consists of custom cut steel beams. They are placed in galvanized fill to equally distribute the weight of the building. They can be tightened over time. This allows maintenance to be done as the ground continues to shift without requiring another costly install. Thanks to the SmartJack System, this building will be stabilized for years to come.
