Two ways:

Remove height

#wrap{
    border-width:3px;
    border-style:solid;
    border-color:white;
    width:1024px;
    height:100%; // Make this auto. height: auto;
    margin:0 auto;
    padding-top:5px;
}

Or

Overflow Hidden

#body{
    background-image:url(images/background.jpg);
    background-repeat:repeat;
    margin-top:-25px;
    padding:0;
    overflow: hidden; // Add this
}

You have a fiddle or something? Or the live website itself?
