Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing Basement Process in Union, Missouri
Amie contacted Woods Basement Systems to help protect her home from basement water intrusion and potential moisture damage. To create an effective basement waterproofing system, our team installed a sub-floor drainage system along the basement perimeter, creating a channel to collect groundwater and direct it toward the sump pump. This process involved preparing the perimeter of the basement floor for the drainage system and placing drainage stone to support water flow. We also installed a water barrier liner along the foundation wall to help guide moisture into the drainage system rather than allowing it to seep into the basement.
To complete the installation, Woods installed a new sump pump to collect and discharge the water gathered by the drainage system. The waterproofing work covered both the mostly unfinished basement and select finished areas, helping protect the entire space while addressing the different needs of each area. By combining a wall liner, sub-floor drainage, and reliable sump pump protection, this basement waterproofing project in Union, Missouri, provides Amie with a comprehensive solution to help manage groundwater, reduce moisture concerns, and protect her home from water damage.
Original Sump Pump
While the home did already have a sump pump system, the homeowner wanted to install a newer system for extra assurance that their basement was protected and that the pump would not fail.
New Sump Pump Installation
Our new in-ground triple pump sump pump system will keep water pumping outside of the home rather than allowing it to continue leaking in.
Waterproofing in any Space
While the majority of this basement was unfinished the homeowner requested to have the finished area waterproofed as well. Our crew installed our sub-floor drainage system to go around the entirety of the basement, including this finished space.
Water Barrier Liner
The barrier liner redirects leaks coming through the foundation walls, and instead sends them to the sub-floor drainage system. This flows the water directly to the sump pump.
Sub-Floor Drainage System
The drainage system is nonobtrusive, allowing for it to be installed along the entire basement to ensure the space would be protected from leaks seeping through the joint of the foundation wall and basement floor.
