Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A basement was leaking in Des Peres, MO, causing distress for the homeowner. To solve this issue, a sump pump was installed. This will discharge any water out of the basement. Now, the homeowner can rest assured that their basement will stay dry. 

Water was entering a basement in Saint Louis, MO, and the sump pump was failing to remove this water. To solve this issue, the TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. It can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Thanks to this system, this basement will now remain dry for years to come!

Before: This basement had no protection against flooding. After: Our TripleSafe Sump Pump System provides three levels of defense — a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a battery backup to keep water out even during power outages.

Mike W. had an alarming amount of water coming into his basement through his foundation walls. He was tired of the water damaging his walls and belongings so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a waterproofing system.

As part of the waterproofing system, Woods installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a drainage system installed under the concrete floors of the basement and against the foundation walls. It will remain clog free as it collects water encroaching on the basement from the foundation walls and floors and drain it away to the sump pump for removal.  

Allen B. of Frontenac, Missouri discovered that his basement was collecting water 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 Jake S. assessed the situation and decided that a full waterproofing system would solve all the problems that the homeowner was facing. Foreman William H. then traveled to the home to get the project started.

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, is one of the key parts of the waterproofing system. The Waterguard drainage system was placed below the footing of the basement and was then covered with concrete. It collects any water coming up from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. It then drains it to the sump pump.

Allen B. no longer has to worry about his home's basement flooding. He now has a dry and waterproof basement.
