Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Protective WaterGuard Drains & TripleSafe Pump Direct Water Outside in Affton, MO

The basement is the most susceptible area in a house to experience water leaks. This Affton, Missouri homeowner, Steve, took precautionary measures to waterproof his basement before water could damage his home. Team Woods worked with Steve to customize a plan that would protect his basement from potential harm. The products that Team Woods would use for this waterproofing job were WaterGuard drains and a TripleSafe sump pump. These two waterproofing products were selected because WaterGuard drains are used to collect all of the water that leaks in. These drains will direct the water to the TripleSafe sump pump so that this pump could discard of the water leaks. This job was completed by head foreman John C. and his hard working crew. Thanks to the combined effort of Team Woods, Steve's basement is ready to defend itself against heavy rains.

Leading into the Basement

The stairs that led into the basement revealed that this home had experienced water leaks in the past. Team Woods took off the carpet to prevent the carpet from molding and smelling.

Preventative Measure

Although this space didn't usually experience water leaks, this homeowner wanted to waterproof his basement and protect his home from possible harm. A basement is the most sensitive area for water leaks, especially when laundry machines are stored in the space because often leak.

Protective System

WaterGuard drains were installed in the perimeter of the room to prevent water from leaking inside and standing in the home. These drains will catch the water leaks and direct them towards the basement sump pump to be pumped back outside.

BrightWall Panels & WaterGuard Drains

Here is a closer look at the freshly installed WaterGuard drains. These drains are sealed with a cement layer to prevent the system from backing up and clogging. On the walls, BrightWall panels were installed as another waterproofing barrier. These panels not only give the room a more attractive look but more importantly they help keep water out.

TripleSafe Sump Pump

What directs water back outside is this TripleSafe system. Any water that is collected by the WaterGuard drains will be pumped back outside throughout the discharge lines that are connected to the TripleSafe pump.

Basement Window Covered

As an extra precautionary measure, Team Woods also installed a cover on the basement window to prevent water from leaking in. Basement windows are often were water leaks can find their way inside because over time the window seals crack.
