Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water was entering a basement in Chesterfield, MO, so the TripleSafe Sump Pump System 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 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 remain dry and clean for years to come!

John G. of Chesterfield, Missouri noticed that, even though he already had a working sump pump, water was collecting in his basement. He did not want to have to clean up a mess after every heavy rain storm, so he called Woods Basement Systems for help.

Design specialist Jake S. assessed the situation and decided the best solution was to install a Waterguard drainage system and a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. Foreman Mason S. then headed to the home to install these products.

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement and was then covered with concrete. It accepts water from the soil before it reaches the surface of the basement floor. The Waterguard then drains the water to the sump pump. 

John G. no longer has to worry about a flooded basement. He now has a dry and waterproof home.

This Creve Couer, Missouri homeowner elected to finish her basement before waterproofing it. It took less than a month for her to regret that decision, as water began to come out onto the floor from behind the drywall. The moisture had badly damaged some electronics and several pieces of furniture, and she knew that it would only get worse if it was ignored. 

In order to waterproof the space, a Woods Basement Systems team first had to cut away the bottom half of the drywall and rip up the flooring to gain access to the foundation. After this, a WaterGuard drainage system was installed. These gutter-like drains are put in place underneath the floor at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water. The homeowner's basement is now protected, but she could have avoided a lot of extra work and expense if she had just waterproofed before finishing.

In Chesterfield, Missouri homeowner Charles F. needed his basement waterproofed. For years, water had been entering his basement where the floor meets the wall, sending water onto the floor, destorying everything in its path. His basment was once an area where he was able to store items he was not currently needing upstairs in his home, now he does not have a place to store them without becoming damaged or wet. His basement was destoryed, forcing him to rip up the flooring and walls in the space that was once finished, he had finally ahd enough.
