Waterproofed Basement in Saint Louis, MO
This image captures all three elements at work; wall encapsulation, sub-floor drains, and the sump pump system.
Sump Pump System
The sump pump is the main part of the water proofing process in which all collected water from the sub-floor drains is pumped through the white discharge lines out of the home.
WaterGuard® system
The WaterGuard® system collects water that seeps through basement walls and drains it to your sump pump. The system installs quickly and has a clean finished appearance, meaning you don't have to worry about having an unsightly drain around the basement.
Basement Wall Encapsulation
The white encapsulation material installed along the crawlspace floor and walls plays a key role in controlling moisture levels within the basement. It is designed to cover porous block walls, which are common sources of moisture intrusion.
Discharge Lines
The white lines in this image are called discharge lines which connect to the sump pump and lead to the exterior of the home. Water is pumped through these.
Extreme Cold Waterproofing Protection
We install the patented IceGuard® system, an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of your home and ejects water away from the foundation in the event that the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged. This photo shows this engineered system installed alongside this home. Even in extreme cold, your waterproofing system is ensured to continue its job.
Lawn Water Outlet
The discharge lines lead water from the sump pump in the interior basement to the exterior lawn. This process leads water far from the basement.
Containing the Moisture
By sealing these areas, the encapsulation helps prevent moisture from entering the space, creating a drier, cleaner, and more stable environment.
Sub-Floor Drainage
WaterGuard® works for both block walls and poured concrete, ensuring that your basement remains dry in all situations. This product also comes with a written lifetime warranty.
Heart of Waterproofing System
A sump pump can be an incredibly valuable resource in your home. When water gets into your basement, the sump pump is what protects you from a flood that could cause expensive property damage. If you've had issues with water in your basement -- and even if you haven't -- it's smart to protect your home with a quality sump pump from Woods Basement Systems, Inc.
