Missouri Opened Sump Pump
This sump pump in Missouri has its cover lifted up to expose the inside of the sump pump. Sump pumps operate by allowing water to enter the pump through small holes and then pumping the water away from the home faster than water is allowed to enter the pump.

This is what a sump pump looks like under the cover. The holes on the left and right side of the pump allow water to enter the pump while the pump itself moves water away from the home. Adding a battery backup to a sump pump ensures that even if power loss occurs the pump will keep water out of the basement.
Newer Sump Pump in Missouri
This sump pump in Missouri is a somewhat newer model. This sump pump has many holes that allow water to enter the sump pump while the pump itself pushes water away from the home faster than water is able to enter the pump. Woods Basement Systems offers several waterproofing options ranging from sump pumps to WaterGuard to ensure your basement stays dry for your peace of mind.
Lack of Waterproofing in Missouri
This Missouri home doesn't have effective waterproofing. Woods Basement Systems can install WaterGuard in a basement to prevent water from entering a home in the way it has in this photograph. WaterGuard is unique in that it sits on the footing of a home's foundation rather than in the dirt which prevents the WaterGuard from getting clogged up with dirt and mud.
