Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In this Kirkwood home, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed and fitted with IceGuard to prevent water backing up into the basement and overflowing in the event of discharge line failure (due to clogs or freezing).

There were hidden leaks behind the drywall in the basement of Myron U.’s Kirkwood home. Water got into the basement through the foundation walls, damaging the drywall and wood frames and made messes so he called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

As part of the waterproofing system, Woods installed CleanSpace over the foundation walls. CleanSpace is a thick, durable plastic moisture barrier that prevents intruding water from getting into the basement and directs it down to the perimeter drainage system. CleanSpace gives the basement a brighter, cleaner appearance.

This home in Kirkland, MO. had several cracks in the foundation walls that would leak. These cracks were patched and the water that would otherwise leak into the basement was instead directed into small wells beneath the floor.

Rather than allow these wells to fill up and possibly leak, Miguel O. and his crew installed tubing beneath the floor that would carry the water from the cracks in the wall straight to the sump pump. With this system installed, any water that would leak into the basement will instead be drained into the sump pump where it can be removed from the home. 

Once the tubing is in place, the trench is filled with clean stone that will prevent the tube from being clogged with mud. Finally, the trench is covered again with concrete, making the basement floor seamless once again. After everything is done the home will be protected from leaks through the walls without any unsightly tubing or the risk of overfilling drywells near the cracks.

Water was entering a basement window through the uncovered window well in Saint Louis, MO, so a SunHouse Basement Window Enclosure was installed. This system features an airtight lid, so no water or debris can enter the well and get into the basement. It will also reflect more natural light into the basement. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement in Saint Louis, MO, was leaking and needed to be addressed. The homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Next, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement is in great shape!
