Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was entering a basement in Saint Louis, MO, and the sump pump was failing to remove it. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was first installed. This drainage system is installed adjacent to the home and provides a channel that connects to the sump pump.  Its design will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. Next, the TripleSafe Sump Pump System was installed. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe 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. This basement will now stay dry all the time thanks to these systems!

A basement in Saint Louis, MO, was leaking during heavy rain and needed to be addressed before concerns of mold emerged. This was causing distress to the homeowners, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed 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. The battery back-up generator will ensure the sump pump keeps working, even during a power outage. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry.

To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement and direct it towards the nearest sump pump. This system sits on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Next, a sump pump was used to discharge the water out of the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry. 

The crawl space of Karen H.’s Saint Louis, MO home leaked water every time there was a heavy downpour. The amount of water that repeatedly got into the crawlspace made it unusable for storage so Karen called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a crawl space encapsulation system.

The SmartSump was installed as part of the encapsulation system. The SmartSump was designed specifically to form an airtight seal with the vapor barrier. It contains a powerful cast-iron pump to remove intruding water out of the crawl space through its discharge line. Its lid also features a WaterWatch alarm system to alert the homeowners to possible plumbing leaks in the crawl space.

Curtis C. of Sunset Hills, Missouri discovered that his home's basement was collecting water. He did not want to have to clean up a mess after every storm, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Jacob K. assessed the situation and decided that the best solution would be to install a Waterguard drainage system and a Twin Pack sump pump. Foreman Melvin F. then headed to the home to get the project started.

The Twin Pack sump pump, pictured above, is equipped with both a primary and secondary pump. If the primary pump goes out for whatever reason, the secondary pump takes over and keeps the basement dry. The sump pump removes water from the basement through a discharge line.

Curtis C. is happy that he no longer has to worry about a flooded basement. He now has a dry and waterproof home.
