Before & After Photos

Several cracks were forming in this Ballwin Missouri basement and two were beginning to leak so the homeowner hired us to repair them once and for all.

Patrick and Kimberly S. of Ellisville, MO had a beautifully finished basement. Unfortunately the basement was not waterproofed before it was finished and during a particularly heavy downpour, leaks behind their finished walls flooded the basement. It took hours to clean up and fan dry so they called Woods Basement Systems to see what could be done about the water problem. Woods recommended a basement waterproofing system.

Woods installed the WaterGuard drainage system under the cement floors along the perimeter of the basement. Unlike exterior drainage systems that are notorious for clogging, WaterGuard is an interior system that is situated on top of the concrete footing of the home to keep it free from mud and debris. It uses its wall flanges and channel holes to catch water from the foundation walls and floors before it can enter the basement and drains it to the sump pump for removal.

Mark M. of Ballwin, Missouri noticed that water was entering his home's basement after a heavy rain shower. He did not want to have to clean up a mess after every big storm, so he called Woods Basement Systems for assistance.

Design specialist Jacob K. assessed the situation and came up with the perfect solution. Foreman Juan H. then headed to the home to install a TripleSafe sump pump and a Waterguard drainage system. 

The Waterguard drainage system, pictured above, was placed above the footing of the basement. It accepts water from the ground before it reaches the basement surface. The Waterguard then drains the water to the sump pump.

Mark M. no longer has to worry about his home's basement collecting water. He now has a dry and waterproof basement. 

Brenda P. of Ballwin, MO contacted Woods Basement Systems for a free estimate on a sump pump due to excess water around the foundation of her home.

Specialist Nolan M. determined a TripleSafe sump pump with the IceGuard and an exterior discharge line would be the best solution.

Foreman Ryan L. and his crew installed the TripleSafe, equipped with a primary and secondary pump as well as a battery backup, in case of primary pump failure or power outage. They also installed an IceGuard providing an outlet for water should the discharge line ever clog or freeze. 

Brenda's home is now triple protected with a sump pump.

Julie of Ballwin, Missouri wanted to waterproof her basement so she set up a free consultation with Woods Basement Systems to start the process. She met with system design specialist, John S., who customized a personalized plan for her specific needs. John recommended a new TripleSafe sump pump along with a new WaterGuard draining system. 

These products were installed by foreman John C. Here you can see the job before and after the installation took place. After waterproofing, the next project is to install waterproofed wall panels!
