Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Following a heavy rainstorm, a homeowner in Spring Valley, MN, made a startling discovery: standing water in their basement. Anxious that this could lead to serious issues, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "flooded basement repair," and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate, and then we sent one of our Design Specialists, Nate. A few weeks later, Nate promptly arrived at the home and completed the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Nate found several areas where the water was sneaking around the basement perimeter. To prevent this issue from worsening, Nate recommended installing several waterproofing products. The homeowner agreed, then the plans were sent to our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew. On the installation date, Jesus and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Jesus and his crew started by installing WaterGuard throughout the basement. Then, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe sump pump. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned their materials and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is secure. 

A homeowner in Oelwein, IA, knew it was time to schedule their annual maintenance appointment. The homeowner called our Service team and scheduled their annual maintenance appointment. Once the appointment was made, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Service Technician, Julio.  A few days later, Julio arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the installed products. During the inspection, Julio confirmed all the products were working correctly. However, Julio noticed some signs of water damage near the basement windows. To prevent the damage from worsening, Julio recommended replacing the current basement window with our Rockwell Egress Window Well. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommendations. Next, Julio passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and prepare the project. Our Logistics team gave the final stamp of approval, they scheduled the project with our Foreman, Gabriel, and his crew. A few weeks later, Gabriel and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Gabriel and his team started by taking out the old window and replacing it with a new window and a Rockwell Egress Window Well. After the Rockwell Egress Window Well was secured, the crew shifted to installing a line of WaterGuard. Finally, the crew wrapped up by attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowner peace of mind knowing their basement is secured. 

Tom from Crosby, ND had begun to notice a large amount of water finding its way into the basement of his lakeside home. He was tired of constant water intrusion and was afraid that, if left untreated, he would run the risk of doing more costly damage to the space. He did some research and found our company and gave us a call. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to see what could be done to fix the issue. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended that Tom have our WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe Sump Pump installed to correct the issue. He explained to Tom that the WaterGuard is installed below the floor to catch any water entering the space, and then deposits it to the TripleSafe, keeping the space dry because of the capacity the TripleSump is able to withstand. Tom agreed with Kole's recommendations and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Kevin, ended up installing 128 ft of our WaterGuard, and 1 of our TripleSafe sump pumps. Once the job was completed, Tom was happy to know his basement water issues were in the past. 

A homeowner in Rochester, MN was facing serious water damage along the perimeter of his basement so he decided to look into basement waterproofing in the area and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was extremely impressed with our before and after photos and reviews so he decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Ryan P., arrived at the home to assess the basement and to address any other concerns the homeowner had. During his inspection, he noticed that the moisture levels were above normal and a lot of the water leakage was coming from between the wall and the footing. Based on this information, Ryan recommended our CleanSpace, a wall vapor barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls, WaterGuard, a below-the-floor perimeter drain system, Aprilaire Dehumidifier, and ShipShape which can monitor sump pumps and dehumidifiers. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner agreed and Ryan's design was sent to our Foreman, Kiko.

In about two months, Kiko and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 9ft of CleanSpace and WaterGuard, as well as the dehumidifier and ShipShape monitoring system. Once they were done, they ensured that everything was working properly, before cleaning up their equipment and leaving the home.
