Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Brainerd, MN was concerned about his basement when he noticed some water damage in a corner of the utility room. Not sure what this meant for the basement, he wanted to get a professional's opinion on what should be done before trying to fix it himself. He went online to search "Minnesota basement waterproofing" and found a variety of results that came up. After shuffling through some of the options, he decided to go with American Waterworks because of our FREE no-obligation estimate service. One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, later went to the home to inspect the basement and see what should be done in terms of repairs. Shane determined that our WaterGuard basement system should be installed to move any incoming water away from the home and directing it safely to the sump pump. The homeowner was glad to hear this and agreed to the installation. Our Foreman, Jonathan Burnes, and his crew went to the site and carefully installed the WaterGuard system at the perimeter of the basement. Now the homeowner is confident in his waterproofed basement and glad to no longer have water damage.

A Brainerd, MN, homeowner was quickly losing her patience with her sump pump. The system was older and had a tough time keeping up with water flow in times of heavy intrusion. The homeowner knew she needed to upgrade her sump pump, and began looking for sump pump repair companies in Minnesota. When she found our website, she signed up for our FREE estimate, and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists was out at the home. 

After completing his comprehensive inspection, our Design Specialist was ready to make his recommendation. First, he recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier be installed in the problem corner of the room. He explained that this 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets applied directly to the wall and works to collect any water entering through cracks and holes in the space, directing it down and into a perimeter drain that our Design Specialist was recommended to be our WaterGuard. This french drain is placed below the floor of the basement but atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. It collects the water flowing down from the CleanSpace, as well as water entering through holes in the floor, giving it a channel to flow to a disposal site such as a sump pump or discharge line. Because the basement lacked a means of disposing of unwanted water, our Design Specialist recommended our SuperSump plus sump pump, an effective and economical solution to unwanted water. The homeowner agreed and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, RJ L, led his team through the successful installation of 29 ft of WaterGuard, 14ft of CleanSpace, and 1 SuperSump plus sump pump. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that her new waterproofing system will be there during times of heavy rain! 

A homeowner in Brainerd, MN, noticed their basement walls were weeping water. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution before the issues worsened. The homeowner looked into "wet basement repair near me", and American Waterworks caught their eye. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company, and they signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepard for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Daniel. Daniel promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Daniel found several areas that were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent this issue from worsening, Daniel recommended waterproofing the entire space. The homeowner agreed and worked to find the best installation date. Once the installation date arrived, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Foreman, Francisco. After Francisco and his crew arrived at the home, they began by installing WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. After the WaterGuard was secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners' peace of mind knowing their basement is properly waterproofed. 

Jim M. of Brainerd, MN had water leaking underneath his basement stairs, so he did some research on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks. Our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, went to his home for a FREE Estimate to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Jim was comfortable with the proposal, so he set up an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Dan Hendrix, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete underneath the stair landing to form a small trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System which acts as an underground drain. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System, designed to prevent mold and humidity build-up. To complete the work, Dan and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Jim was very happy with the work and is grateful we were able to help him and his home repair needs!
