Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Imperial, MO, a homeowner faced significant challenges with their basement, which was prone to flooding during heavy rains. Before taking action, the basement showed signs of damp walls, musty odors, and even mold growth. They decided to call Woods Basement Systems for expert help. Woods Basement Systems quickly responded to assess the situation. Their team conducted a thorough inspection, identifying the sources of water entry and evaluating the overall condition of the basement. To tackle the water issues effectively, they recommended installing WaterGuard™, a patented drainage system designed to capture and redirect water away from the basement. This system is installed along the perimeter of the basement floor, ensuring that any water that seeps in is efficiently collected and channeled away. Additionally, Woods suggested the installation of a TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, which features three pumps in one for reliable water removal. This advanced system not only keeps the basement dry but also provides peace of mind with backup options in case of power outages or pump failure. After the installation, the transformation was remarkable. The once damp and musty basement became a dry, safe, and comfortable space.

On this job, our outstanding team installed a WaterGuard™, IceGuard™, and a LawnScape. The WaterGuard™ collects water that seeps through the basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The IceGuard™ is designed to prevent floods from frozen or clogged discharge lines that lead outside the basement. We also installed a TripleSafe™ Pump system to ensure that our product will work without fail, due to the third battery-powered fail-safe pump inside the TripleSafe™ Pump. 

IceGuard™ is a crucial addition to any sump pump system, including the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump, as it provides an essential safeguard against winter conditions. One of the primary benefits of IceGuard™ is its ability to prevent the sump pump's drain lines from freezing. During cold weather, water in the drain lines can freeze, causing blockages that prevent the sump pump from discharging water away from the home. IceGuard™ features a specially designed outlet that allows water to escape even if the drain lines are frozen, ensuring that the sump pump can continue to operate effectively. This means that even in the harshest winter conditions, the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump system remains functional, providing continuous protection against basement flooding. By ensuring that the drain lines remain clear and operational, IceGuard™ enhances the overall reliability and performance of the sump pump system, giving homeowners added peace of mind.

The WaterGuard™ system is designed to capture water seepage from the walls and floor of the basement and direct it to the sump pump. WaterGuard™ is installed just below the floor slab, out of the "mud zone," where it won't clog with dirt and debris. This ensures that water is collected and funneled away from the basement, preventing any standing water or moisture buildup. This leaves the homeowner with peace of mind that their basement will stay dry. 

Our Team installed a TripleSafe™ pump system, WaterGuards™, IceGuards™, LawnScape™ outlet, and a CleanSpace™ Wall System. The TrippleSafe™ sump pump is designed to keep your basement dry with triple the protection. The first two pumps are active, while the 3rd pump is a fail-safe pump attached to a battery in case of a power outage. The WaterGuards™ are installed above the footing to capture water before it enters the basement. The IceGuards™ are designed to prevent clogs or freezing in the discharge line. And lastly, our team installed the CleanSpace™ system to keep the space clean and dry for our customers.
