Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing And Stabilizing A Basement In O'Fallon, MO
A basement in O'Fallon, Missouri, had some stability issues as well as water seepage coming in through the walls. There were some old supports in place, but the homeowners wanted these replaced. Woods came in and first installed the CleanSpace System to catch the water coming in through the walls. This is a sheet of durable material that is laid against the walls. It brightens up the space while also providing a direct route for the water coming in to be channeled through. Next, they installed the WaterGuard System to catch the water from the CleanSpace. This system collects water and directs it to the sump pump . Plastic pipes are laid directly underneath the floor and sit on top of the soil to prevent clogging from dirt or other debris. Lastly, Woods installed the GeoLock Wall Anchors. These heavy-duty steel anchors are buried away from the home and connected to the home using steel rods. These rods are then attached to steel wall plates that are placed directly on the wall. As the rods are tightened, they pull the wall back into place. With these installs in place, the homeowners can rest easy knowing their basement will be waterproof and stable for decades to come.
