Basement Flooring in University City, MO

Before	After

Wouldn't it be great to not have to walk on a cold, hard basement floor to do laundry? Many of our customers like to install sections of ThermalDry flooring in their washer and dryer area. ThermalDry Flooring is inorganic material and makes a 10 to 15 degree difference in how the basement floor feels. Also, the flooring is raised to give plumbing leaks a path to a floor drain or sump pump.

Leaking University City Basement Fitted With WaterGuard

Before	After

This University City, Missouri home's basement had been plagued with leaks for years. Water would stream through cracks in the walls and pool on the floor, creating quite a mess. In order to waterproof the basement, a Woods Basement Systems team installed a WaterGuard French drain system. These gutter-like drains are put in place underneath the floor at the base of the leaking walls to catch any and all water. 

Adding CleanSpace™ to a Waterproofing System

Before	After

Jessica A. from University City, MO. had a drainage system in her basement that caught leaks coming from where her floor met the stone block wall. This system would direct the water there into her sump pump where it could be pumped out of the home.

But this system didn't protect from water leaking in through the cracks of her wall. This water could seep inside and damage anything leaning against the wall or could condense on other cool survaces like pipes or air vents. 

Naturally, Jessica wanted this problem gone. The solution was CleanSpace™. CleanSpace™ is an incapsulating system often used in dirt crawlspaces to prevent water vapor from rising through the floor. But CleanSpace™ has also been adapted to keep walls dry too. The lightweight water barrier is tough and tear-proof while still being light enough to be permanently mounted on walls. In addition to being waterproof, CleanSpace™ is also mold-resistant to help keep basements mold free.

Adding CleanSpace™ to her block walls and tying it in to her drainage system means Jessica A. no longer needs to worry about water that creeps in through the cracks in her stone block walls.
