Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Saint Louis homeowner Dawn experienced a wet basement. She gave Woods Basement Systems a call and System Design Specialist Adam R. developed a plan perfect to keep her basement dry. 

As part of that system, Foreman Miguel O. and his crew installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard is a basement drainage system unlike any other. 

It is designed with holes in the back to allow only water to enter the system. This makes sure the system does not clog. It is able to collect water seeping in from below, behind, and coming down the walls. When combined with CleanSpace, this increases the water collected by the system. 

The WaterGuard will drain to the TwinPack sump pump, where it will be discharged outside and away from the home. 

With her full system, Dawn knows her basement will remain dry. 

Water leaked from a basement window in Saint Louis, MO, and pooled onto the floor. To solve this issue, a WellDuct was installed. This will drain water from the window well and into the WaterGuard System, guiding it to the sump system where it will be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and stay clean for years to come!

Kirkwood, Missouri small business owner Peter S. was concerned when he discovered water leaking into the basement where the floor meets the wall. The water risked creating a musty environment. Thankfully, he took action before mold began to grow. System design specialist Tim W. designed a solution to keep the basement dry.

Foreman Ryan L. and his crew began waterproofing the basement by installting WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard collects and guides water to the TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe is equipped with a main pump, backup pump and battery-powered pump to ensure the basement stays dry. In addition to WaterGuard and TripleSafe, IceGuard was installed. IceGuard is attached to the external discharge lines and provides an exit for water in the event that the lines become frozen or clogged.

Peter is pleased to know that his basement is dry and will stay dry. He can sleep soundly knowing there will be no water leaks or mold.

This basement in Kirkwood, MO, had a sump pump that had failed to run due to a power outage, causing flooding in their basement. They installed an UltraSump battery backup to their sump pump, so even in the case of another power outage, the backup will kick on, keeping the sump pump running and preventing further flooding. Additionally, to help with the water damage, this homeowner invested in a SaniDry Sedona, a powerful and compact dehumidifier that will dry the basement and prevent mold and mildew.

Water was coming down the walls of a basement in Saint Louis, MO, and the sump pump was failing to remove this water. To solve these issues, the BrightWall Paneling System was installed. This bright, clean, and durable wall system will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and will drain any wall leaks to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This efficient, high-capacity, dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the basement. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the sump pump, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain clean and dry for years to come!
