Woods Basement Systems was called to this Ballwin, Missouri home to address the basement's constant leaks. During heavy periods of rain, water would stream out of cracks in the walls and pool on the floor. All of this moisture made it difficult to make good use of the space, and the homeowner wanted it taken care of.
A Woods team installed a WaterGuard drainage system underneath the flooring at the base of the leaking walls. These gutter-like drains catch any leaks and prevent them from making their way into the space. The basement is now protected from water!
This homeowner wanted to waterproof her basement after her home's basement walls were secured with Geo-Locks which were installed by Team Woods. To protect the home from water damage, Team Woods' head foreman Juan H. led his team in installing a CleanSpace encapsulation system on the walls, a TwinPack sump pump in the corner, and WaterGuard drains in the footing.
This home in Ballwin, MO. experienced standing water near the door in the basement. The likely cause was water leaking in through the gap between the door and the floor.
A grate in the floor by the door will catch water leaking through that gap, but without a good sump pump water will build up there anyway. When John L. went to the home to address the problem, he replaced the sump pump with a new one to make sure that their system was in fine working order. This new sump pump will make sure that water doesn't get backed up by the door, where it could damage the wooden sill plate and studs.
The new pump will protect this home from more dangerous leaks until John returns again for another maintenance inspection.
Every year a routine maintenance inspection is performed on Woods Basement Systems' products. In this home in Ballwin, MO. a maintenance check was performed on a TripleSafe™ sump pump system.
The TripleSafe™ sump pump system features three seperate pumps that can work together to keep the basement dry even in the toughest conditions. The third pump in the TripleSafe™ system is battery powered, allowing it continue to pump water out of the basement when the power goes out. The TripleSafe™ also features two discharge lines, allowing it to pump out water far more quickly than systems that rely on one single discharge line.
Woods Basement Systems installer Clay L. was able to check all three pumps as well as the battery and the discharge lines to ensure that the system was in the best possible condition to protect the basement. While performing this inspection, Clay L. also took the opportunity to start a Radon test to test the home for potentially dangerous levels of Radon gas. The homeowners can relax knowing they're in good hands thanks to Clay L.'s efforts.
