Before & After Photos

Many basements have small windows that rest about level with the ground outside. To protect these windows, builders add small window wells that hold back the ground around the window and still allow light to enter the basement. 

However, these builders often use cheap materials like corrugated metal sheets. While the slim sheets of metal might be enough to hold back the dirt around the window, it does not cover the floor of the window well, which can often remain a dirt-filled pit, and it does nothing to prevent water from filling up the window well and pressing against the window.

Thankfully, Woods Basement Systems has a total protection alternative. A new window well can be installed outside the existing window that will not only hold back the ground, but also covers the bottom of the window well, blocking water that might otherwise build up there and keeping the window clean and unblocked. A clear cover is fitted over the window well to block rainwater without blocking light. And because the new window well is made of a brighter material than the dirty sheet metal, the light it reflects into the basement will make the basement feel brighter as well.

The result is a clean, bright window that lets in more light without letting in water and dirt.

Water was leaking in a basement in Lake Saint Louis, MO, causing some damage. To solve this issue, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house. This system also includes an UltraSump battery backup system, which turns on if the power goes out and effectively pumps out the water. This basement will remain dry and clean for years to come!

Rich E. of Lake Saint Louis, MO was interested in replacing his outlets and downspouts on his guttering system. Luckily, Project Manager Tim R. was able to help! He was able to install a wide mouth outlet and larger downspouts to keep up with higher volumes of water. Not only do they look great, they also help resist against freezing and clogging!

Water was leaking in a Lake Saint Louis, MO basement, and the sump pump was not pumping this water out correctly. To solve these issues, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which will drain water from WaterGuard and below the basement and discharge it out of the house.

Water was coming down the walls and pooling onto the floor of a basement in Lake Saint Louis, MO, causing damage. To prevent further damage, the WaterGuard System was installed. These drainage pipes intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and drain it toward the sump pump system. This system has a design that will drain any wall seepage without allowing dirt and debris from the floor to enter and clog the pipes. This will keep the basement dry and clean for years to come!
