Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A basement in Ballwin, MO, was leaking during heavy rain and needed to be addressed. This was causing distress to the homeowner, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was used to collect the water that entered the basement. This system won't get clogged due to its horizontal design. Next, a sump pump was installed 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 for years to come! 

Wesley C., Manchester, Missouri homeowner, was distraught when he discovered water leaking into his basement where the floor meets the wall. The water created a musty, moldy environment and risked damaging his valuables. Chris H., system design specialist, designed a solution to ensure the basement stays dry.

Foreman Ryan L. and his team installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system that collects and guides water to the TripleSafe sump pump system. TripleSafe is equipped with a main pump, backup pump, and battery-powered pump to ensure the basement stays dry. 

Wesley's basement is now dry and will stay dry. He can enjoy his basement knowing it is unaffected by mold.

This home in Ballwin, MO. experienced standing water near the door in the basement. The likely cause was water leaking in through the gap between the door and the floor.

A grate in the floor by the door will catch water leaking through that gap, but without a good sump pump water will build up there anyway. When John L. went to the home to address the problem, he replaced the sump pump with a new one to make sure that their system was in fine working order. This new sump pump will make sure that water doesn't get backed up by the door, where it could damage the wooden sill plate and studs.

The new pump will protect this home from more dangerous leaks until John returns again for another maintenance inspection.

Every year a routine maintenance inspection is performed on Woods Basement Systems' products. In this home in Ballwin, MO. a maintenance check was performed on a TripleSafe™ sump pump system. 

The TripleSafe™ sump pump system features three seperate pumps that can work together to keep the basement dry even in the toughest conditions. The third pump in the TripleSafe™ system is battery powered, allowing it continue to pump water out of the basement when the power goes out. The TripleSafe™ also features two discharge lines, allowing it to pump out water far more quickly than systems that rely on one single discharge line. 

Woods Basement Systems installer Clay L. was able to check all three pumps as well as the battery and the discharge lines to ensure that the system was in the best possible condition to protect the basement. While performing this inspection, Clay L. also took the opportunity to start a Radon test to test the home for potentially dangerous levels of Radon gas. The homeowners can relax knowing they're in good hands thanks to Clay L.'s efforts.

Water was leaking down a basement wall in Ballwin, MO, and causing some damage. To solve this issue, Woods installed a CleanSpace Liner on the walls. This will stop water vapor from permeating the basement walls, and drain any wall leaks down to WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system that will catch these leaks and lead them to the TripleSafe Sump System, which will then pump this water out. This basement will stay clean and fresh for years to come thanks to these systems!
