Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Wet Basement Waterproofed in Florissant, MO
A basement in Florissant, MO, was leaking and needed to be addressed. This was causing distress to the homeowners, so they decided to give Woods a call. To solve this issue, WaterGuard™ was installed to collect the water that entered the basement. This system sits on top of the soil to prevent clogging. Next, a sump pump was installed to discharge the water out of the basement. This pump has a battery back-up generator to ensure it keeps working, even during a power outage. Then, IceGuard™ was used to make sure the pipes do not freeze or get blocked by snow during the colder winter months. Finally, a discharge line was added to carry the water away from the home. With these systems in place, the homeowner can rest easy knowing their basement will remain dry during heavy rain.
