Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was leaking where the wall and floor meet in a basement in Webster Groves, MO, so the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will now remain dry and clean for years to come!

Kaity C. of Webster Groves had an alarming amount of water coming into her basement each time it rained. The water had stained her foundation walls and was ruining the belongings she had stored there so she called Woods Basement Systems for a free assessment. Woods recommended installing a basement waterproofing system.

Woods installed BrightWall panels as part of the waterproofing system. BrightWall panels are made of rigid white plastic that is resistant to mold and waterproof. They form a moisture barrier over the foundation walls, directing water down to the perimeter drainage system for removal. As seen in the pictures, they also give the basement a much cleaner and brighter appearance.

Kaity C. had major water issues in the basement of her Webster Groves, MO home. Her foundation walls had become stained from years of water leaking into her basement and her drywall and wood frames were being ruined by rot due to the water so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a basement waterproofing system.

As part of the waterproofing system, Woods installed CleanSpace over the stained walls. CleanSpace is a thick, durable plastic liner that creates a vapor barrier over the foundation walls, preventing moisture from entering the basement and directing it to the drainage system below.

Rebecca B. of Shrewsbury, MO was concerned about water leaking into her basement during heavy rains. Her home is older and has a stone foundation. System Design Specialist John L. knew that a WaterGuard would help with controlling floor water seepage, while a CleanSpace Wall System would help redirect wall water seepage and stop water vapor from permeating the walls. Once Foreman Juan H. and his crew installed these systems, Rebecca can enjoy her bright and dry basement.

Sump pump failure can occur for several reasons.  Two common reasons cited for sump pump failure are mechanical failure and power outages.  A single pump system is only as good as the pump itself.  In this case, a single sump pump system just wasn't enough to keep this St. Louis basement dry.

Woods Basement Systems installed a dual pump system, so at least one pump is always ready to handle groundwater leaks.  An optional and critical enhancement to this system is the UltraSump battery backup pump.  If a breaker is tripped or severe weather knocks out power, the UltraSump will continue to pump in spite of the storm.
