Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Tom and Norma, from Circle Pines, MN, got in contact with us when they began to notice unwanted water in the basement of their home. They didn't want to leave the issue unresolved for fear of further damage so they gave us a call. We set them up with our FREE estimate, entitling them to a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. Once the appointment was booked, our Design Specialist, Michel, went out to the property to do his walkthrough. Once completed, he informed the homeowners that the water entering their basement was because of faulty windows and wells. He recommended that they invest in our EverLast basement windows, as well are our EverLast SunHouse Window Wells. He explained that, together, this pair would make the basement more energy efficient, add more natural light, and the SunHouse would keep unwanted water out of the space. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. Our Production crew ended up installing 2 windows with SunHouses. When the job was completed, Tom and Norma were happy to know that their basement was now more energy-efficient and safe from unwanted water!

A couple from Lexington, MN got in touch with us when they began to have thoughts of finishing their basement in addition to other projects being done around the house. When they called in, we set them up with our FREE estimate, which entitled them to a thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists. A member of our Design Specialist team, Ryan, went out to the home to do his walkthrough. When he finished, he had several recommendations for the couple. He recommended the couple think about installing our Egress window to address building codes requiring a point of exit in finished basements. He explained that when paired with our RockWell, a piece of rigid construction, the pair offers an attractive alternative to uglier window wells while still delivering a high degree of safety for the homeowners. The couple agreed and construction began shortly after. 

Our crew led by our Foreman, Gabriel, installed two RockWell egress windows throughout their basement. Once the job was completed, the homeowners were happy to have peace of mind knowing that they could finish their basement without worries of safety hazards. 

Eric S. in Cottage Grove, MN was experiencing water seeping through a wall in his basement during heavy rains. It had started to cause damage to his property, so he knew it was time to have a professional look at it. While researching waterproofing contractors, he found American Waterworks. He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to give him a FREE estimate and to provide a solution. Eric was pleased with the waterproofing plan that Chad developed, so a date for the installation was set. 

Our crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of the wall that had water seeping in. The WaterGuard drains water to the newly installed SuperSump sump pump, and it is then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Eric now has peace of mind that water in his basement is no longer a concern. He is glad he chose a long-term solution for his home.

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.
