Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was coming down the walls of a closet in Webster Groves, MO, creating a damp and moldy environment. To solve this issue, the BrightWall paneling System was first installed. This all-plastic, bright white, basement wall paneling provides a clean look for an unfinished basement. It prevents water vapor from seeping into the basement and drains any wall leaks down to the WaterGuard System, which was installed next. This perimeter 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. Thanks to these systems, this closet will now stay dry all the time!

A basement in Saint Louis, MO was leaking during heavy rain. This needed to be addressed, so 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 collected water out of the basement. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry for years to come!

Jackie and Rob F. of Shrewsbury, MO had water damage in their basement. After an estimate by Woods Basement Systems specialist Chris T., it was determined that the damaged portion of the drywall needed to be removed, a waterproofing system be installed, and the bottom half of the wall replaced with the EverLast Half-Wall restoration system. 

Pictured above is the TripleSafe sump pump, which is part of the waterproofing system. This pump is designed to collect water from the WaterGuard interior perimeter system and pump it out of and away from the house. It is equipped with a primary pump, secondary pump in case of primary pump failure, and a back up pump in case of power outage. The discharge line includes the IceGuard installed on the exterior of the home and allows water to escape the basement in the event it becomes frozen or clogged.

This Webster Groves, Missouri home's existing basement sump pump was simply not up to the task. It was dirty, loud, and allowed water to pool all over the basement floors. In order to fix this, a Woods Basement Systems team removed the old pump and replaced it with a brand new TripleSafe sump system. The TripleSafe has three separate pumps, including a battery backup, and is capable of removing well over 10,000 gallons of water per hour: quite the upgrade!

Mark C. of St. Louis, Missouri had a leaky basement, so he decided to call Woods Basement Systems for a solution. Systems design specialist, Luke k. was able to help and recommended installing a TripleSafe sump pump and WaterGuard. 

Foreman, Juan H. installed the products. The TripleSafe sump pump uses a primary pump, a secondary pump, and a backup battery-powered pump to protect your home with its three-in-one design. WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement floor with a layer of rock, the guard, and concrete covering the top. it works to collect water that seeps through basement walls and then takes that water and guides it to the sump pump to be fully removed from the home.

Now Mark C. has a dry basement.
