Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A basement was leaking and needed to be addressed. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, a new sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. This sump pump will ensure the basement does not flood during heavy rain. With this system in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry. 

St. Louis, Missouri residents Brian and Emily M. were distraught by the mold caused by water leaking into their basement. Mold began to grow under the carpet and along the drywall.

Foreman Bradley P. and his team installed WaterGuard to waterproof the basement. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system that guides water to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump system and away from the basement.

Leaky basements can mean hours of clean up and fan drying. Don O. of St. Louis, MO knew this all too well because his basement leaked every time it rained. He was fed up with the clean up so he called Woods Basement Systems for a free assessment. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system to deal with the water problem.

Woods installed WaterGuard as part of the waterproofing system. WaterGuard is a drainage system that is installed under the concrete floors along the perimeter of the basement, as seen in the picture. It sits on top of the concrete footing of the home so it won’t become clogged with mud as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors and drains it away to the sump pump for removal.

Dianne G. of St. Louis, MO had a sump pump but there wasn’t a drainage system in place. Water leaked in through the wall and flood her basement which caused hours of clean up so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing the WaterGuard drainage system to tie in to her existing sump pump.

Woods installed the WaterGuard under the concrete floors along the perimeter of the basement. Unlike other drainage systems that are installed along the concrete footing or on the exterior of the foundation, WaterGuard sits on top of the concrete footing. This keeps it away from any mud that might clog it while it collects water from the foundation walls and floors and drains it to the sump pump for removal.

Mira C. of Bevo Mill, Missouri noticed that her home's basement was collecting water. She did not want to have to clean up a mess after every heavy rain shower, so she called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

Design specialist Brandon B. assessed the situation and decided that the best option was to install a TripleSafe sump pump and a Waterguard drainage system. Foreman Mason S. headed to the home to get the job started. 

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement. It accepts water from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. The Waterguard then drains the water to the sump pump.

Mira C. no longer has to worry about her home's basement flooding. She now has a waterproof and dry basement.
