Basement Waterproofing in Florissant, MO
Challenge
A resident of Florissant, MO was having problems with water in his basement. The foundation of his home was settling, causing large vertical and horizontal cracks in his block foundation basement walls. When it rained, water would come in through the cracks, and there would be inches of standing water in his basement. He had a sump pump, but it could not keep up with the amount of water coming in and wasn’t getting the job done. The resident wanted to keep his basement dry all the time and needed the help of Woods Basement Systems to accomplish his goal.
Solution
Woods waterproofed his basement by installing Geo-Lock Wall Anchors, WaterGuard, IceGuard, and a SuperSump. The Wall Anchors stabilized the walls and closed the large cracks in the basement walls. The anchors caused minimal disturbance to his landscaping and had a quick installation time compared to other products. The WaterGuard waterproofing system collects all the water coming in through the walls and leads it to the SuperSump. WaterGuard solves basement water problems effectively because it sits on top of the footing rather than beside it, so it doesn’t get clogged with soil and sediment. The SuperSump includes the most reliable pump available, a WaterWatch alarm system, and an airtight lid. All of these products together resulted in a dry basement and a happy customer.
