Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Waterproofing And Stabilizing A Basement in Florissant, MO
A basement in Florissant, Missouri, had some water seepage issues, as well as some stability issues as well. Woods came out and first addressed the waterproofing issues. The CleanSpace was first installed to catch the water seepage coming in through the walls. This system consists of a highly durable and thin sheet of material that is placed directly on the walls. It will drain the water it finds down below so it can be removed. The next install was a WaterGuard System to catch this water and direct it to the sump pump. Specialized piping is installed directly into the floor to avoid issues with clogging. The next install then, was a new sump pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is a top of the line system. It has not one but two pumps to ensure efficient water removal. Lastly, it was time to address the foundation issues. The GeoLock Wall Anchor was installed last. Steel plates are secured to the wall and attached to rods that go out into the yard. These steel rods are connected to anchors. When tightened, they pull the bowing wall back into place. With these installs in place, this home is sure to be dry and stable for many years to come!
