Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

The basement of Don O.’s St. Louis home leaked every time it rained. His foundation walls and floors were stained and water damaged and it took hours to clean up the watery mess so he called Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

CleanSpace was installed over the stained walls as part of the waterproofing system. CleanSpace is a thick, durable plastic moisture barrier that prevents water from getting into the basement through the foundation walls and instead directs it down to the perimeter drainage system below. It also give the basement a brighter, cleaner appearance.

The homeowner of this small St Louis basement had the TripleSafe sump pump system installed to remove unwanted water and help keep the basement dry.

No one wants a water damaged basement. The components of a TripleSafe Sump Pump enable the sump pump to protect this St. Louis, MO basement.

One component of TripleSafe is a battery backup. This means the sump pump will still work in times of power outages. Heavy rains are no problem, as the first and second pumps will work together to make sure water is removed. The second pump will also take over if the first were to ever go out.

Paired with WaterGuard to direct ground water and water from the walls to the sump pump, these homeowners can rest easy knowing their basement is protected. 

With a new TripleSafe sump pump installed inside the basement, IceGuard was then attached to discharge lines outside of the St Louis home. This allows for maintaining water flow from the basement in the event of discharge line failure (due to clogs or frozen pipes).

Water was coming down the walls of a basement in Saint Louis, MO, causing damage. To solve this issue, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was first installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage 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. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!
