Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A sump pump was failing to operate correctly in Webster Groves, MO, so it was replaced with a TripleSafe Sump Pump. This system assures protection from everyday problems with an ordinary pump. The TripleSafe can handle a heavy flow of water, thanks to a secondary pump included inside that will help eliminate the water if the first pump is unable to keep up with the amount of water that is entering it. It also features a removable airtight lid which reduces noise, prevents objects from falling in, and keeps moisture, insects, and odor from coming out of the sump. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This basement will now stay dry all the time!

Kaity C. of Webster Groves, MO was having to clean up messes in her basement each time it rained. It took her hours to clean up and the water was damaging her belongings so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

WaterGuard was installed as part of the waterproofing system. As shown in the pictures, it’s installed under the concrete floors along the perimeter of the basement. It’s situated out of the way of any mud that may clog it as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors of the basement and drains it to the sump pump for removal.

Woods Basement Systems installed WaterGuard drains into the footing of the basement walls to prevent water leaks from entering into the basement. Previously, this basement had experienced a few leaks after heavy rains. For protective measures, WaterGuard drains were used to prevent water damage that can lead to costly, long repairs. 

WaterGuard drains are a french designed drainage system that helps direct water leaks towards the home's sump pump system. Instead of allowing water to pool inside, water leaks would be directed back outside where they belong!

Water was coming down the walls of a basement in Saint Louis, MO, so the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump to then be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!
