This Denville, Illinois crawl space was covered in dirt and lacked any form of vapor barrier. Woods Basement Systems installed CleanSpace to provide a vapor barrier for the basement which reduces the possibility of mold buildup and foul odors seeping in from the basement.
This O'Fallon, Missouri home had a sump pump but lacked any other form of waterproofing. Woods Basement Systems serviced the existing sump pump and installed WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a waterproofing system that shunts water away from the home. WaterGuard is unique in that it sits on top of the footing of the home which prevents it from filling with dirt and mud.
Water leaking into the basement was mostly staying behind the drywall and collecting in a homemade cedar closet. The water was leaking frequently enough to cause mold to grow in the basement and go unnoticed in the closet. The basement odor and humidity finally prompted the homeowner to call us for a free inspection. We installed our WaterGuard® basement waterproofing system. This system comes with a written transferable warranty!
Water seepage is typical at the wall and floor seam in a basement. WaterGuard® is an exclusive product we offer that will not clog like drain tile which is dug out and placed beneath the basement floor in the "mud" zone.
WaterGuard® only collects the water that once was getting on top of the basement floor, and allows it to flow directly to a sump pump. WaterGuard® basement waterproofing also allows leaks from a block foundation that comes through a wall crack to get into our drainage system and out of the home.
Basement wall leaks were still a problem during heavy rains with the existing basement waterproofing system in this Clayton, Missouri home. We added our BrightWall® wall covering that looks like a finished wall and at the base we incorporated it into the existing wall flange.
