Basement Waterproofing & Finishing

We install an interior drainage system connected to a high-efficiency sump pump that removes water before it ever becomes an issue. Our patented system comes with a transferable lifetime warranty. We also work with crawl spaces providing waterproofing and encapsulation services. 

Your basement drainage system protects you from outside water getting in. But a burst pipe or leaking water heater could mean disaster for your finished basement if you use organic materials like wood and drywall. We install completely inorganic, waterproof, patented basement products.  

Foundation Repair & Concrete Lifting

Our team of foundation experts will come to your home and inspect the foundation and layout a plan to repair the issue. We have dealt with bowing walls, uneven floors, cracked walls and more. The foundation products we install in your home come with a 25-year warranty. 

If the issue is outside where concrete slabs have sunken or cracked we use PolyLEVEL. PolyLEVEL is a polyurethane foam which is injected underneath the slab and expands lifting the concrete level. PolyLEVEL in many ways is far superior to traditional mudjacking methods.

Nasty Mold Smell Gone in Breese, IL

Susan from Breese woke up one morning to a strange pungent smell in her house. She searched all over her house to try and find the source of the smell. Susan looked and looked every place she could think of.  Susan finally looked at her crawlspace and she found the smell. It was mold growing on the wood of her crawlspace. Susan decided to call Woods Basement Systems.

Michael inspected the house and came up with a solution. The solution was to install a CleanSpace waterproofing seal in the crawlspace. This will seal the moisture that is coming in from the ground below. Michael also added in a drainage system to drain into a sump pump. This is to help get any water out of the crawlspace that my either come in during the summer or water that will rise from the dirt floor.

A Woods Basement Systems Production team came out and installed the new CleanSpace and a sump pump. With this system in place Susan has not worried or smelled mold inside of her house.

 

Leaky Basement in Webster Groves, MO

One Webster Groves home has been through at least three different homeowners, but it was the latest homeowner who inherited and finally decided to resolve his wet basement problem.

When William D. purchased his home, the basement included two existing sump pump systems.  Unfortunately, the two sump pumps were not enough to keep his basement dry.  Hydrostatic pressure on the exterior caused the basement walls to crack and leak, groundwater would seep in between the walls and floor, and rainwater would run underneath the basement door and across the basement floor.  Moisture penetrating the basement walls caused paint to crack and chip.  Eventually, his existing sump pumps failed.  Standing water jeopardized items stored in the basement and threatened to ruin William's valuables.

William's story changed the moment he called Woods Basement Systems.  He met with System Design Specialist Rich Obermeier, who carefully inspected William's basement and thoroughly discussed William's goals.  Foreman Michael Jones, Jr. completely removed the failed sump pumps and installed a brand-new TripleSafe sump pump system, including two primary pumps and a third battery backup sump pump to keep William's basement dry all the time.  The crew also installed WaterGuard along the basement perimeter to drain groundwater seepage from the wall-floor joint directly to the sump pump.

William's project also included the IceGuard sump pump discharge line system to prevent his sump pump discharge pipes from freezing in the winter.  William is very impressed with his system, the crew, and our company.  Today, he's free to use his basement for storage and will never have to worry about groundwater leaks again!
