Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Waterproofing around a fireplace takes experience.  Several times the fireplace in the basement is built off the floor and is not on its own footing.  In this case, the fireplace was built on its own footing so water was coming in at the seam where the side of the fireplace met the floor.  We were able to place our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system right next to the fireplace taking care of this wet basement.

A stone foundation leaks in several locations beside where the basement floor meets the wall.  To fix this leaky stone foundation in St. Louis, Missouri, we installed our WaterGuard® waterproofing system, which has a vertical flange that allows the water that comes in between the stones to get down into the system. After that if freely flows to our TripleSafe® sump pump.  Before remodeling we recommend a vertical vapor barrier be applied to the stone foundation.

Woods Basement Systems repaired cracks in this St, Louis, Missouri basement with the FlexiSpan crack repair system.

The walls of this St. Louis, Missouri basement had vertical cracks, and water would seep through those cracks. After Woods repaired and sealed the wall cracks, water no longer gets into the basement.

This St. Louis, Missouri stone foundation had a large pour of concrete up against the wall completed before the basement floor was poured.  This acts as a support to the lowest row of stones and looks like a raised footing since the actual concrete floor is against it and not the stone wall.  Our WaterGuard® waterproofing system in combination with our other products can waterproof the top and the raised concrete and the floor together.  The water is collected and drained to our sump pump system.  This homeowner was installing their own wall vapor barrier before finishing the basement.
