Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Rachel and Tim W. of Fenton, IL had an alarming amount of water coming into their basement. They were worried about water damage to their belongings so they called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

As part of that waterproofing system, Woods installed WaterGuard. As shown in the pictures, it is installed underneath the concrete floors, along the perimeter of the basement. It’s a drainage system that won’t become clogged by mud as it collects water from the foundation walls and floors of the basement and carries it away to the sump pump for removal.

Haley M. had water leaking into her beautiful finished basement each time there was a heavy downpour. It was damaging her finished walls and floors and creating messes that required hours of clean up so she called Woods Basement Systems. Woods recommended installing a waterproofing system.

WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement. As seen in the picture, it’s installed under the concrete floor of the basement and has a special wall flange and channel holes to collect water from foundation wall and floors and drain it to the sump pump for removal. WaterGuard sits on top of the concrete footing of the home so won’t become clogged with mud or silt like traditional french drain systems.

Bob M. of Fenton, Missouri discovered that water was entering his home's basement after big storms. He did not want to have to keep cleaning up a mess, so he called Woods Basement Systems.

Design specialist John S. assessed the situation and decided the perfect option was to install a BrightWall paneling system, a Waterguard drainage system, and a TripleSafe sump pump. Foreman Josh B. then headed to the home to start the job.

Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was installed above the footing of the basement. It collects any water rising from the ground before it reaches the surface of the basement. It then drains the water to the sump pump.

Bob M. no longer has to worry about his home's basement collecting water after heavy rain storms. He now has a dry and waterproof basement.

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!
