Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A basement wall in Lake Saint Louis, MO, was bowing and humid. This needed to be addressed before the problem gets worse, so the homeowner decided to give Woods a call. To solve the issue of humidity, CleanSpace™ was used to encapsulate the basement walls. This highly durable liner will keep the humidity, and other outside elements, out of the basement. Next, GeoLock™ wall anchors were used to stabilize the bowing walls. This system works with heavy duty steel anchors that are buried some ways away from the home and connected to the home using steel rods. These rods are then attached to steel wall plates that are placed directly on the wall. As the rods are tightened, they pull the wall back into place. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement wall is dry and stable.

Brenda R. of Lake St. Louis, MO had water leaking into her basement. She had an old sump pump that was not working properly and it was allowing water to stand in the basement. Woods Basement Systems installed a sump pump to provide a way to get water out of the basement. The sump pump will pump water out of the basement through the discharge line into the yard. Brenda will no longer have to worry about her sump pump being outdated.

Mauri and Michael C. of Lake St. Louis, Missouri were troubled by their old waterproofing system. The old sump pump was unreliable and its openness allowed moisture to enter their basement. System design specialist Adam R. designed a solution to keep their basement dry.

Foreman Jose L. installed the TwinPack sump pump system. TwinPack is equipped with two pumps to ensure the basement stays dry. It is sealed closed, so water and moisture cannot escape into the basement. Mauri and Michael can now enjoy their dry, comfortable basement worry-free.

A foundation in Lake Saint Louis, MO was cracking, and the homeowners wanted to stabilize the wall before any other major problems occurred. To do this, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. This foundation will remain stable and restore peace of mind for years to come!
