Finished Basement Needs Waterproofing in Chesterfield, Mo
Heather S. from Chesterfield, Mo had a beautiful finished basement, however water was still getting in. She and her family had been using this space as a family room and entertainment area, but with water seeping in the space had become unpleasant and all of their belongings were at risk for water damage. She called Woods Basement Systems to find where the water was coming in and to correct the issue. Our System Design Specialist found the leak and designed a solution to keep her basement permanently dry.

Here's another room from Heather's finished basement, which is where our team found the leak. As you can see she and her family mainly used this space as a storage area and for some workout equipment. Because this room remained unpleasant with a water leak they were unable to use the space to it's full potential (possibly an extra bedroom!). Our team designed a specialized solution to waterproof this basement.
WaterGuard WaterProofing System Installed in Chesterfield, Mo
Here is an in process photo of Heather's basement after the waterproofing system was put in place. Our installation team had to cut away the bottom half of the existing drywall to dig out a 6-8 inch trench in the basement floor along the foundation wall. This is where we installed the WaterGuard drainage system. This will lead any water that comes into the basement directly to the TripleSafe sump pump, which you can see in the left corner.

This pictures shows the finish product after the waterproofing system was put in place. Our EverLast finished wall restoration replaces the damaged drywall that was cut out and covers the section of the floor that had been jackhammered and then re-poured. We also put a pretty box over the sump pump and discharge pipes to match the new finished wall. Now Heather and her family can enjoy this space and have peace of mind that their valuables are safe!
