Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN, was in the market for an upgraded egress window. The previous window well had been handmade and was no longer up to code. Not wanting to sacrifice safety any longer, he began to search for a company that could help. When he found our website, he signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dave S, headed out to the home. 

Once Dave completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss recommendations. Dave informed the homeowner that he was recommending the installation of our RockWell window well. He explained that RockWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust, and rot-proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. Our egress window wells meet the IRC Egress Code Requirements, providing you and your family with a direct escape from any of the inhabited rooms in your basement. A polycarbonate safety cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural sunlight and fresh outside air to enter your basement. While they are not intended for continual foot traffic, the 10mm fluted polycarbonate cover will hold up to 500 lbs. of weight and prevent family members from accidentally falling into the window well. The homeowner liked the sound of Dave's recommendation and scheduled the job for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, and his team were able to replace the egress with no complications. Now, our customer can enjoy his basement space without worries of his window well not being up to code.

In St Louis Park, MN, a homeowner was having issues with his basement. Each time it rained he noticed that small traces of water would find their way into his space, creating mold and humid temperatures. The homeowner took to the internet and searched 'basement waterproofing near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. He was impressed with our previous work, and decided to book his FREE estimate. 

On the day of the appointment our Design Specialist, Nick Corbin, headed to the home to assess the situation. Upon arrival he wasted no time getting into his inspection. After he had completed, he met with the homeowner to discuss next steps. Nick started off by informing the homeowner that enlisting the help of a professional was the right choice. Homeowners tend to forego basement water repair until the problem is more costly, and harder to fix. Nick went on to say that he believed the basement leaks could be remedied with two of our products. To address water entering through tiny holes and cracks in the wall, Nick wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that our CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier perfect for unfinished basements. With an anti-microbial layer, UltraFresh, built right in, CleanSpace is the permier choice for aiding leaky walls. Water enters the space, drips down the wall while being contained by the CleanSpace, and into Nick's second recommendation, our WaterGuard. This discreet drain gets installed below the basement floor, around the perimeter of the basement. With CleanSpace feeding directly into the drain, our WaterGuard functions to provide water entering the space a channel to flow freely to a disposal site such as a sump pump or discharge line. The customer was impressed with Nick's explanation and evaluation, and decided to move forward with the project. 

When the day of the installation rolled around our Foreman, Diego Barrientos, and his crew made quick work of Nick's plan. In the end, our customer was happy to have his basement water controlled. Now he can enjoy the most of what his home has to offer!
