Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Sam I. of Anoka, MN was on the hunt for Egress Windows. He found us on our website and contacted us through our online chat. Sam liked what he saw on our website, so he scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Russ. Russ went to Sam's house, inspected his basement window, and provided a quote going over our Egress Window. Sam was comfortable with Russ's approach and felt confident in the product, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Clay, and his crew excavated out the soil around the basement window, forming a big trench. Once the trench was formed, our crew broke out the wall to install the Egress Window. Our Egress Windows are made to add light and fresh air to the basement while providing a safe way to exit from the home. After that, our team installed our RockWell Window Well, which is a one-piece construction that allows for a safe exit out of the home in case of an emergency. To complete the project, our team backfilled the soil and ensured the yard was cleaner than when they first got there.

A homeowner in Kasson, MN, noticed their basement was smelling musty. After doing a quick investigation, the homeowner discovered that sections of their carpet were damp. The homeowner did not want their problems to worsen, so they wanted to find a solution. Uncertain about who to work with, the homeowner asked a friend who had a similar issue. Their friend recommended working with us, American Waterworks. Trusting their friend's recommendation, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Nick, one of our Design Specialists. Nick arrived at the home and the homeowner showed him to the problem area. After Nick did a thorough walk-through of the basement, he found the source of the water. Nick alerted the homeowner of his findings and recommended an action plan. The plan included installing a new drain system and sump pump. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Nick's suggestions. The plans were directed to our Foreman, Gabriel, and his crew and they traveled to the home. Once they arrived, Gabriel and his crew began installing the WaterGuard, our patented below-floor drain, around the perimeter of the basement. Next, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe sump pump. Then, the crew attached CleanSpace, a waterproof plastic vapor barrier, to the basement walls. To finish off the project, the crew attached an IceGuard, an anti-freeze fitting, on the outside discharge line. The crew swiftly completed the project and cleaned up their materials. The homeowner was grateful to know their basement was no longer at risk. American Waterworks is happy to waterproof another home.

Derek M. of Rosemount, MN had crawl space moisture and loss of heat under his living area and he wanted to get it encapsulated. He did his research and came across American Waterworks and our crawl space waterproofing services. Our Design Specialist, Dustin, went to Derek's home, inspected his crawl space, and determined the solution of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier and our Foamax Wall Panels. Derek got all of his questions answered about our products so he wrote out a deposit, signed the proposal, and got a date set up for installation. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew started the installation by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space wall perimeter. These panels are designed to provide comfort and warmth to the home and make the wall look clean and bright. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier on top of the crawl space floor, which is designed to prevent mold and mildew, seal away poor smells, increase the home value, and keep away pests or insects. Derek was happy with how the project turned out and had a great experience!

In New Hampton, IA, a homeowner was concerned that the recent snow would melt and enter their basement. Knowing the importance of early action to prevent this from happening, the homeowner contacted us and scheduled their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Service Technician, Curt B., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Curt took a close look at the basement, looking at the product we've installed previously as well as looking for other issues in the home. Curt noticed that the sump pump had been struggling to remove excess water and recommended installing TripleSafe, our extremely reliable sump pump system with three levels of protection, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge system that allows water to escape from the sump pump in freezing temperatures to prevent sump burnout. Happy with the recommendations, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, one of our crews arrived at the home for the installation. The crew was able to successfully replace the sump pump system with TripleSafe and installed 2 IceGuards. 

Now, our customer can have a reliable sump pump system! Looking for basement waterproofing before the snow melt? Schedule your FREE estimate today by clicking HERE!
