Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing And Sealing Concrete Cracks In Des Peres, MO

A home in Des Peres, Missouri, had some water seepage in the basement as well as some cracks in the sidewalk that needed to be addressed. Woods came out and first installed a new sump pump to replace the one that was longer working. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System is a top-of-the-line system, with multiple pumps to ensure that no amount of water is too much to remove. This particular sump also includes the UltraSump Battery. This extra pump will kick on in the event of a power outage. The next installs were sump pump discharge lines. The IceGuard System is the section of piping that is attached directly to the home. It has specially made perforations to prevent issues commonly seen with frozen pipes. At the end of the discharge line is the Lawnscape Outlet. This outlet will release the water far from the perimeter of the home. To address the concrete, Woods installed a sealant called NexusPro. This system is a silicone-based sealant for cracks. It is specially engineered to stay flexible over time and stand up to harsh weather conditions. It has a very quick application and drying time and can last over 20 years. With this sealant in place, it's hard to tell the cracks were there in the first place. Thanks to Woods, the sidewalk looks practically new, and the homeowner's basement is sure to stay dry for many years to come!
