Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A sump pump was no longer functioning in De Soto, MO, so the TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed. This system assures protection from common 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 basement will now remain dry and clean for years to come!

Any weaknesses in the foundation, like cracks or the joint between the foundation walls and floors, can allow a large amount water to get into the basement. The foundations walls in Jolene B.’s De Soto, MO home were cracked, causing numerous leaks in her basement so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing both a wall support system and waterproofing system.

As part of that waterproofing system, Woods installed the WaterGuard drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement, as seen in the picture. WaterGuard sits on top of the concrete footing of the home to keep it mud-free as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors and drains it to the sump pump for removal.

Water was entering a garage in De Soto, MO, causing damage. To solve this issue, the TrenchDrain System was installed. This surface drainage system will catch the water that leaks through the door before it can enter the garage. The WaterGuard System will also help carry this water, as well as any that leaks down the walls and guide it toward the sump pump to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this garage will remain dry and clean for years to come!

A foundation was cracking in Byrnes Mill, MO, and the cracks kept returning after being sealed. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were installed. These will permanently stabilize the foundation wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed. This will restore peace of mind for years to come!

A basement in Hillsboro, MO, was leaking and in need of a strong waterproofing system. This led the homeowner to give Woods a call. To begin solving this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement and direct it to the nearest sump pump. This system won't get clogged because it sits horizontally on top of the soil. Next, a sump pump was used to discharge the water out of the basement. This sump pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure the pump keeps working, even during a power outage. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry.
