Before & After Photos

This St. Louis, Missouri stone foundation had a large pour of concrete up against the wall completed before the basement floor was poured.  This acts as a support to the lowest row of stones and looks like a raised footing since the actual concrete floor is against it and not the stone wall.  Our WaterGuard® waterproofing system in combination with our other products can waterproof the top and the raised concrete and the floor together.  The water is collected and drained to our sump pump system.  This homeowner was installing their own wall vapor barrier before finishing the basement.

Having a large sump pump pit with a single pump is not enough to keep your basement dry all the time. For this St. Louis, Missouri basement, we installed our TripleSafe® sump pump system, which has three pumps.  One is a battery backup sump pump.  It also has a sealed lid, radon safe floor drain in the lid for condensation lines, high water alarm which can be designed to notify you on a smart device or home security system, and pump stands for elevating one of the other two pumps to alternate when they would run and pump water out of the basement.

A foundation in St. Louis was shifting from its original location due to settlement. Push Piers were installed to help the foundation move back towards its original location and narrow gaps and cracks. 

Openings between the wall and concrete floor caused leaks in this St Louis basement. The homeowners chose to have WaterGuard installed as well as had the wall finished, brightening the room and ensuring the basement stays dry.

Clemma and Robert M. had water leaking in their basement where the wall met the floor, so they decided to call Woods Basement Systems. Systems design specialist, Bill C. was able to find a solution and recommended installing a Twin Pack sump pump and WaterGuard.

Foreman, Melvin F. installed the products. The Twin pack sump pump includes two stainless steel pumps that protect against leaks and floods. WaterGuard is installed in the perimeter of the basement floor and it collects water that seeps through the walls. It then takes that collected water and guides it to the sump pump where it can be removed from the home. 

Now Clemma and Robert M. have a dry basement.
