Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Simply painting a wall does not keep the water out.  Groundwater was bleeding through the foundation wall and seeping in at the wall-floor joint.  To make matters worse, the foundation had settled.  Woods Basement Systems installed push piers to stabilize the foundation and protect against further settlement, and the crew installed additional WaterGuard perimeter drainage to complete the existing waterproofing system and keep the whole basement dry.

The basement is the most sensitive area for water leaks, is your home prepared? This homeowner took protective precaution by installing WaterGuard drains to the perimeter of the basement to collect the water leaks and send them towards the basement sump pump to be pumped back outside. 

A basement wall in Saint Louis, MO was leaking water, causing mold to grow and cause damage. To solve this issue, a CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This is an economical way to cover ugly walls, stop water vapor from permeating them, and drain wall leaks. The white color will also brighten the basement, reflecting the light. Next, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. This high-capacity, high-efficiency dehumidification system also includes an air filtration system, all in a single unit. This system wrings the air dry, and its powerful blower moves the dry air in and around the crawlspace. It also automatically drains the water it catches into the sump system, so there is no need to empty any bucket with this system. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Water was leaking out of a basement window in Saint Louis, MO, so a WellDuct was installed. This will drain water from the window well and into the WaterGuard System, which will guide it to the sump system to then be pumped out of the house. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!

IceGuard was installed outside of this St Louis home to prevent the backup of water into the TripleSafe sump pump system in the event the discharge lines were frozen or clogged.
