Before	After

Raymond B.’s basement in his St. Louis, MO home flooded each time there was a heavy downpour.

Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

Woods installed the TripleSafe as part of that waterproofing system. The TripleSafe contains two high-powered cast iron pumps and a battery back up pump. It protects against flooding waters in the basement even when weather is severe or there is a power outage.

Exterior Sump Pump and Sill Plate Drainage in Mehlville, MO

Before	After

Joan, a Mehlville, Missouri homeowner, was experiencing new problems with a wet basement. She had worked with Woods Basement Systems before to install a sump pump so, she gave Woods a call. System Design Specialist Clint W. determined this time the problem was exterior and developed an ideal plan for Joan. 

Foreman Greg H. and his crew installed an exterior sump pump and sill plate drainage. The sill plate is the meeting place of the foundation and the floor joist. This creates a gap and leaves a place for pooled water to enter the structure. Although landscaping normally leads away from the building, overtime the landscaping can build up around the home. 

By putting in sill plate drainage and rocks we can redirect the water away from the foundation. Burying the downspouts and leading them away from the home is also a good way to avoid water from pooling near the foundation. 

The exterior sump pump was added because we could not lead the discharge line far enough away. The sump pump forces the water away. 

Joan can now enjoy her dry basement and have peace of mind the Woods is always there to keep her home comfortable.
