Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing in Your Clifton Heights, MO Basement

Clifton Heights, Missouri homeowner Erika D. just bought a house and discovered water seeping through cracks in the basement. Before calling Woods, she had contacted a few other companies. Bill C., one of our System Design Specialists, met with Erika to provide her with a free estimate and discuss protecting her basement. When she agreed on what they discussed, our foreman Michael and his crew installed and waterproofed her basement. She is extremely happy with the results. Here's how we waterproofed this basement, keeping it dry all the time.

Keeping Appliances Protected

If the water heater floods, the grate around the water heater serves as a drain, helping keep the basement dry. Through the grate, water seeps in and flows to the perimeter waterproofing system via a drainage line, which drains to the exterior drainage system and away from the house.

Perimeter Waterproofing System

A view of our perimeter waterproofing system. You can also see a trench drain near the door. This is very common in basements that have doors that lead to the outside. If water was to ever come under the door, the trench drain will catch it and lead it to the perimeter system. The concrete is still drying in this photo but you can see where the perimeter system is.
