Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

For many homes with flooded basements, like this one in Fenton, Missouri, a sump pump is a necessary element of a basement waterproofing system. Woods Basement Systems recommends a Zoeller sump pump. This pump was chosen as the best from among nearly 50 models and is very quiet due to the airtight sump pump cover; the discharge line is equipped with 2 rubber fittings for additional sound and vibration reduction.

BEFORE: Water leaked through a crack under the front porch of this Fenton, Missouri basement.

AFTER: Woods Basement Systems repaired the crack and installed a patented interior perimeter drainage system called WaterGuard with a sump pump that keeps this basement completely dry.

A basement in Fenton, 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, CleanSpace™ was used to encapsulate the walls and keep the humidity out. This will also help to keep rot out as well. Next, a sump pump was installed to discharge the collected water out of the basement. The battery back-up generator will 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. 

We installed the WaterGuard™ interior drainage system along the basement perimeter to capture incoming water and direct it to the TripleSafe™ sump pump. From there, water is safely discharged outside through a durable drainage line, ensuring long-term basement protection.

Rachel and Tim W. of Fenton, MO had a basement that was leaking every time it rained. Their old sump pump had stopped working so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a full perimeter waterproofing system.

As part of that waterproofing system, Woods replaced the old, nonfunctioning sump pump with the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe contains two powerful, cast-iron pumps and a battery back up pump to ensure the basement stays dry in the harshest conditions or power outages.
