Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Water can wreak havoc on finished and partially finished basements. Leaks often come from behind drywall, causing mold growth and damaging the material before it makes its way into the basement itself. Because the drywall hides cracks and leaking from sight, homeowners usually don't notice the problem before its caused quite a bit of damage. 

This Fenton, Missouir homeowner was experiencing these exact issues, and she called Woods Basement Systems for a help. After cutting away the bottom portion of the basement drywall, a Woods team installed under-floor WaterGuard drains at the base of the leaking walls to catch water and prevent it from making it onto the floor. 

Water was seeping through the walls of a basement in Fenton, MO, and pooling onto the floor. 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 remain dry and clean for years to come!

We recently helped out a Fenton, Missouri homeowner who noticed that mold was growing on the finished side of their basement drywall.  The back side of the drywall was worse.  Very little water was leaking into the basement, but it was leaking behind the finished walls for years.  We installed our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system with our SaniDry® dehumidifier (Pictured in the Corner) along with our white vertical wall covering to stop water vapor from coming through the block foundation wall and getting the finished drywall wet.

In Fenton, Missouri homeowner Todd P. was worried about the foundation of his home. Recently, he had noticed cracks forming on the basement walls, as well as cracked and uneven concrete on his backyard patio. After getting a recoomendation from a friend, he decided to call Woods Basement Systems. Woods has several solutions to any foundation problem your home may have. In this home, our foreman Jeremy Raby and team installed our GeoLock System. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors system permanently stabilizes your foundation wall and, in many cases, can straighten your wall back toward its original position. Heavy-duty earth anchors are embedded in stable soil away from your foundation wall, and are then connected to steel anchors with long, galvanized rods. Once tightened, the anchors will hold the wall securely in its current position without any further adjustment. Now, Todd can relax knowing his home is safe and stabilized for years to come.

A foundation was cracking below a basement window in Fenton, MO, and wanted was beginning to leak out of it and cause damage. To solve this issue, GeoLock Wall Anchors were first installed. These will permanently stabilize the wall, straightening it to its original position and keeping it in place. The cracks will also be closed so that no water can leak through. Next, the CleanSpace Basement Wall System was installed. This will prevent water vapor from permeating the basement walls and drain any leaks down to the WaterGuard System. This perimeter drainage system will catch wall seepage and drain it toward the sump pump to be pumped out of the house. Thanks to these systems, this basement will remain stable and dry for years to come!
