Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A basement in Imperial, MO, was leaking and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, a sump pump was put in to discharge the water out of the basement. The battery back-up generator will make sure the pump keeps working, even during a power outage. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry. 

Arthur M. of Imperial, Missouri noticed that water was collecting in his home's basement 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 Chris A. assessed the situation and decided that the best option was to install a Twin Pack sump pump and a Waterguard drainage system. Foreman Mason S. then headed to the home to get the job started.

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was installed above the footing of the basement. It collects any water rising from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. The Waterguard the drains the water to the sump pump.

Arthur M. no longer has to worry about his home's basement holding water. He now has a dry and waterproof home.

This Imperial, Missouri basement remained unfinished and was primarily used for storage until Spring 2020.  The homeowners worked with our Total Basement Finishing Design Specialist, Frank Unger, to layout an all-new floorplan for the basement.  And that's when the transformation began.

These homeowners had already put down their own flooring, but wanted to have the walls done as well. Our specialist knew wood studs, fiberglass insulation, and drywall can spell disaster in the event of a leak or high humidity. So, Woods Basement Systems framed the basement with metal studs and finished the walls with the inorganic EverLast Basement Wall Panels, made from 2 1/2-inch thick rigid foam insulation with 1/2-inch thick cement board cladding. The cement board is finished with an off-white vinyl surface treatment.

What was once a cold, bare, and dark unfinished basement used only for storage is now a beautifully-finished, warm, and bright basement playroom and sewing room.  What a transformation!

Water was entering a window well in Imperial, MO, and weeds were growing inside of it. The homeowners wanted to replace it altogether, so the SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure was installed. This system gives an attractive, bright, and clean solution that keeps rain out, prevents weeds from growing inside, and reflects natural light into the basement. This will make a dramatic difference inside and outside the home and will restore peace of mind for years to come! 

In Festus, Missouri homeowner Pam H. was worried about the water problems in her basement. For years, she had been checking and cleaning the basement every time it would storm or rain. The rainwater was entering their home where the basement floor meets the basement wall, sending water to damage and ruin any items stored in the space.

Our team was sent out to the home by our System Design Specialist Ben Wiedman to install solutions to waterproof Pam’s basement. In order to waterproof the basement, they installed our WaterGuard and TripleSafe systems. WaterGuard is our premiere interior drainage system, catching the water before it can enter the home. TripleSafe is our sump pump system, collecting the water and sending it out of the home quicker than it could enter.
