Woods Basement Systems, Inc. Before & After Photos

A stone foundation leaks in several locations beside where the basement floor meets the wall.  To fix this leaky stone foundation in St. Louis, Missouri, we installed our WaterGuard® waterproofing system, which has a vertical flange that allows the water that comes in between the stones to get down into the system. After that if freely flows to our TripleSafe® sump pump.  Before remodeling we recommend a vertical vapor barrier be applied to the stone foundation.

Having a large sump pump pit with a single pump is not enough to keep your basement dry all the time. For this St. Louis, Missouri basement, we installed our TripleSafe® sump pump system, which has three pumps.  One is a battery backup sump pump.  It also has a sealed lid, radon safe floor drain in the lid for condensation lines, high water alarm which can be designed to notify you on a smart device or home security system, and pump stands for elevating one of the other two pumps to alternate when they would run and pump water out of the basement.

Push Piers are driven deep into the ground on the exterior of the home and are embedded in a stable layer of soil.  A heavy-duty steel bracket is installed against the foundation's footing, and steel piers are hydraulically driven through the bracket to bedrock.  The weight of the home is transferred through the piers to the soil, which provides an opportunity for the home to be lifted back toward its original position.  Once installation is complete, the soil is backfilled and the home is permanently stabilized.

A foundation in St. Louis was shifting from its original location due to settlement. Push Piers were installed to help the foundation move back towards its original location and narrow gaps and cracks. 

Nadine and Delester C. of St. Louis, MO. had water damage to the dry wall in their basement. Woods Basement Systems removed the damaged dry wall, and installed the WaterGuard waterproofing system, as well as restored the wall with the EverLast Finished Wall.
