Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Justin V. of Cottage Grove, MN had water leaking into his basement, causing him to feel nervous about water moisture, humidity, and mold build-up. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Tim Schneider. Tim went to his home, examined where the water was leaking from, and came up with a solution that worked for him, his home repair needs, and his budget. Justin got all of his questions answered and felt confident in the proposal, so he signed the contract, put down a deposit, and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is made to prevent water and mud clogs, serve as an underground drain that connects to the sump pump, and collects water seepage from the basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is made to guide water into the WaterGuard, prevent any mold or mildew build-up, and act as a wall protectant barrier. To complete the work that was done, Raul and his team filled in the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete over it. Justin was happy with the work and had a great experience from the appointment to installation! 

Laura S. of Cottage Grove, MN was interested in getting an Egress Window installed in her basement. She heard about the great work that American Waterworks does, so she scheduled a FREE estimate with our team. She was confident in the bid and placement of the window, so she got a date scheduled for the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew measured and broke out the space for the window, installed the window, applied spray foam and caulk around the window sill to prevent air flow, and ensured that Laura was happy with the work that was done and all expectations were met.

Paul F. of Isanti, MN had water leaking into his basement so he called American Waterworks to set up a FREE Estimate! Our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, went to his home to inspect the issue and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Paul was confident with the proposal so he set up an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the project by cutting out the concrete down the middle of the basement to form a feed line. They connected the feedline to the installation of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe provides three levels of protection and is the best sump pump we offer for our customers. Raul and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Paul's peace of mind is restored and is grateful we were to save the life of his basement!

Ave, a homeowner from Bethel, MN, reached out to our team because she was having issues with water continually leaking into the basement around the edge of the floor. The moisture along the walls was concerning to her, and so she wanted an expert to look at the situation and provide a FREE estimate.

We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution for her home. After the inspection, Shane recommended a combination of our waterproofing products. Ave approved the plan and moved forward with the project.  

Our Foreman, Lane Schlobohm, and his crew arrived at the home and promptly got to work. The team began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to create a trench. Then, they laid the WaterGuard in the trench. The wide-open design of this drain helps it resist clogs, while a removable lid allows for easy access and maintenance. Our drain system is custom-designed to protect and help keep your basement dry all the time! The team then installed a SuperSump sump pump. They filled the gaps with rock and replaced the concrete around the sump pump and over the WaterGuard. Water now properly drains to the sump pump through the WaterGuard. The water is then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Ave's peace of mind has been restored, and she can now enjoy a dry, healthier basement for years to come!

A homeowner in Spring Valley, MN, noticed water stains on their basement floor. Unsure where the water was coming from, the homeowner wanted an expert to inspect their basement. After asking their neighborhood Facebook group, the homeowner saw several members recommended working with us. The homeowner went to our website to inspect the work we do and they were impressed with our services. Since they were already on the website, they signed up for their FREE estimate. When the appointment was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Eric, a Design Specialist. When Eric arrived at the home, the homeowner showed him where they discovered the water stains. After taking a closer look at the basement, Eric determined the basement needed a waterproofing makeover. Eric proposed that WaterGuard be installed in the basement to stop further intrusion. The homeowner decided to follow Eric's suggestions and the plans were directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew were assigned to the job, so they gathered their materials and made their way to the home. Upon arrival, the crew prepped the basement for installation. When they were ready, the crew installed the WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. After the WaterGuard was installed, the crew shifted their focus to attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Once the CleanSpace was attached, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful to know their basement was properly waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind in their basement.
