Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Patrick and Kimberly S. of Ellisville, MO had a beautifully finished basement. Unfortunately the basement was not waterproofed before it was finished and during a particularly heavy downpour, leaks behind their finished walls flooded the basement. It took hours to clean up and fan dry so they called Woods Basement Systems to see what could be done about the water problem. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

Woods installed the WaterGuard drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement. Unlike exterior drainage systems that are notorious for clogging, WaterGuard is an interior system that is situated on top of the concrete footing of the home to keep it free from mud and debris. It uses its wall flanges and channel holes to catch water from the foundation walls and floors before it can enter the basement and drains it to the sump pump for removal.

Mark M. of Ballwin, Missouri noticed that water was entering his home's basement after a heavy rain shower. He did not want to have to clean up a mess after every big storm, so he called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

Design specialist Jacob K. assessed the situation and came up with the perfect solution. Foreman Juan H. then headed to the home to install a TripleSafe sump pump and a Waterguard drainage system. 

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement. It accepts water from the ground before it reaches the basement surface. The Waterguard then drains the water to the sump pump.

Mark M. no longer has to worry about his home's basement collecting water. He now has a dry and waterproof basement. 

Even a finished basement is susceptible to water damage. The hard-earned money you spent to finish your basement could go out the door once water leaks in. 

WaterGuard drains were used to protect this finished basement from further water damage because these drains will collect the water leaks and send them to the sump pump. WaterGuards are installed in the footing of the basement walls to stop the leak in its tracks and get it out before it can create damage. 

In Manchester, Missouri homeowner Jennifer S. was having trouble with water entering her basement. Her sump pump was old and not working well to keep the water out of her home, so she decided to call Woods Basement Systems. Woods had the perfect solutions to stop the rainwater leakage in the basement, as well as replacing her sump pump with a newer, better pump that will work year-round. To stop the water from coming into the basement, our team installed our WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is our patented interior drainage system that will catch and send the water away from your home. Now, Jennifer is happy knowing that her home will stay dry through any rain or storms.

Water was entering a basement from the wall and floor joint in Ballwin, MO, causing concern. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This basement will now stay dry and clean for years to come!
