Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A trick to help drain water from beneath the basement floor is to drill a large hole in the drain line of a floor drain, low enough to let water in from under the floor.  But if you are relying on that and do not also have a sump pump...ouch!  We retrofit our TripleSafe® sump pump system. After getting wet three times, this Lemay, Missouri homeowner didn't want that to happen ever again.  The TripleSafe® has three operating pumps, not all at the same time, and one is a battery backup pump for operating during a power outage, or if a breaker trips, water levels rise, or if one of the primary pump fails after years of being in service.

This O'Fallon, Missouri crawl space had a vapor barrier installed to control moisture,  however, their sump pump pit was holding water and did not have a sealed lid, which was allowing moisture to evaporate into the space any way.

Our CleanSpace® encapsulation vapor barrier seals the walls and dirt floor of a crawl space.  Our crawl space sump pump, SmartSump®, has a sealed lid, high water alarm that could be connect via a smart device or home sercurity system, and battery backup sump pump.

This Kirkwood, MO basement was installed with a WaterGuard system, which directs the flow of unwanted water into the sump pump, and a TripleSafe sump pump, which pumps the water out of and away from the home.

This O'Fallon, Missouri home had a sump pump but lacked any other form of waterproofing. Woods Basement Systems serviced the existing sump pump and installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a waterproofing system that shunts water away from the home. WaterGuard is unique in that it sits on top of the footing of the home which prevents it from filling with dirt and mud.

It is so important to have anual service check-ups on your sump pumps, the last thing you want is to find out that a piece of mechanical equipment is malfunctioning when you need it most!

Our service techs will come out to your home and take a good look at all of the moving parts, replace anything that is not working properly and clean any parts that have any kind of build up! No matter if you have a single pump, Twin Pack, or the TripleSafe sump pump all are comprised of mechanical moving parts that after so long will need maintenance. Scheduing your anual check-up can save you from having a major head-ache later on.
