Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Barbara G. of Festus, MO had an old, rusted sump pump sitting in a hazardous open-faced pit that was doing little to nothing to keep the encroaching water out during bad weather. The belongings she had stored in the basement were threatened each time there was rain so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

As part of the waterproofing system, Woods replaced the nonfunctioning pump in the open pit with the TripleSafe Sump System. The TripleSafe contains three pumps within its closed sump liner: a primary, a secondary and a battery back up pump. This ensures that even if the primary pump fails or the power goes out, water will continue to be pumped out of the basement and the basement will remain dry.

Barbara G. of Festus, MO had a very leaky basement. Every time it rained, water would get in and damage her belongings and foster mold growth so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

Part of the waterproofing system was the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. As shown in the picture, it's installed under the concrete floors, along the foundation walls. It will remain free of mud as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors and take it to the sump pump for removal.

This Festus, Missouri basement was plagued with leaks. Water would make its way into the basement whenever it rained, and the severity varied with the amount of rainfall. The homeowner was sick and tired of dealing with the constant cleanups, so she called Woods Basement Systems for help. Among other things, a Woods team installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls to catch leaks and prevent them from getting into the space. 

Festus, Missouri homeowner Harry K. was distraught when water made its way into his basement.  Previously, Harry had the Geo-Lock wall anchors installed to straighten his bowing walls. Though this can aide in keeping water out, waterproofing is the only way to ensure water stays out. 

CleanSpace guides water leaking in from the walls to the WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. Because CleanSpace prevents water vapor from escaping into the basement, it keeps the basement humidity low and hinders mold growth.

Janet M. in Festus, MO had Woods Basement Systems install a sump pump in her basement.  The sump pump will pump out any unwanted water out of the space. The sump pump will pump the water to the yard throught the discharge line.
