Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Michael H. of Bluffton, MN had water coming in through the sidewall of his basement during rainstorms, and he wanted to get it looked at by a professional. He researched contractors on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks so he requested a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Roger. Roger went to Michael's home, carefully inspected his problem, and drew out a solution. Roger proposed our WaterGuard BelowFloor Drain, which prevents water clogs, serves as an underground drain and collects water from basement walls. Michael felt confident in the proposal, so he signed the contract and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter and in front of the steps, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, filled the open gaps with river rock, and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement was neater than when they found it.

A homeowner in Hoffman, MN noticed that water was seeping between the footing and the wall and was concerned that it would cause permanent and long-term damage to his home. The homeowner decided to search for "leaking basement repair" and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was impressed with our before and after photos and decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, James N., arrived at the home to assess the basement. As he was inspecting the basement, he noted the issues and created a proposal for the homeowner. He recommended installing our WaterGuard, a below-the-floor drain system that intercepts water around the perimeter of the basement and takes it to the sump pump, CleanSpace, a vapor wall barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls and takes water leaks to the drain system, TripleSafe, a sump pump system that comes with 3 levels of protection, IceGuard, a anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipes freeze, and Aprilaire Dehumidifier. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Franklin O., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 78ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace. Then, they installed 2 IceGuards as well as the TripleSafe and Dehumidifier. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Cynthia A. of Hoffman, MN was having water issues in her basement, causing her to worry about the value of her home. She called American Waterworks and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to Cynthia's house, carefully inspected her basement, and determined a plan that would work for her and her basement waterproofing needs. Cynthia got all of her questions answered and was confident in Dylan's proposal of our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain System, so she signed his contract.

Our Foreman, Cameron Phrakonekham, and his production crew started the installation by jackhammering out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. Inside the trench is where our crew installed our WaterGuard, which is designed to prevent water clogs and catch water leaking from basement walls, which leads to the sump pump. To complete the installation, our team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied fresh, new concrete over them, leaving the basement looking nice and clean. Cynthia said she was very happy with the completed work and the crew was so caring and polite!

A couple in Morris, MN, gave us a call when they began to notice a crack forming in their foundation wall, causing pooling water to become a problem in their basement. When they called in, we set them up with our FREE estimate, and our Design Specialist, Shane, was out at the property in no time. When he arrived, he did a thorough inspection of the issue and made his recommendations as to how we could best fit the situation. He recommended that we use our GeoLock wall anchors to address the failing wall. He explained that these anchors are the ideal solution as they anchor the problem wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation, keeping the wall stabilized for a long time to come. These anchors can be tightened over time to fit the foundation's needs as it continues to settle. Next, he wanted to use our CleanSpace to address the water entering the basement. He explained to the couple that this barrier works to trap water behind the taro-like material and drain it downwards to our WaterGuard system that lies beneath the concrete floor and drains water to the appropriate place like a sump pump or external line. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Jeromy, ended up installing 17 of our GeoLock anchors and wrapped the entire basement in our CleanSpace solution. When the work was complete, the couple was happy with the work we had done and were relieved to know their foundation worries were in the past!

A homeowner in Bellingham, MN was in his basement space when he noticed how much damage the floors had in one of the bedrooms. Upon closer look, the damage was only around the perimeter of the bedroom and hadn't spread too far into the rest of the room. The homeowner was eager to find a solution before the problem did get worse, so he started his research. Online he searched, "basement waterproofing companies in my area," which is how he found the American Waterworks website. He decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates to learn more about our work. Design Specialist Ryan Powell arrived at the home ready to carry out an inspection and offer his recommendations. He informed the homeowner that waterproofing the basement room would be the best plan and the homeowner agreed to the recommended installations. When our Foreman, Francisco Escamilla, and his crew went to the site they installed a Waterguard basement drainage system and a new SuperSump pump. Afterwards, the basement was water-free and clean once again. The homeowner was impressed with how efficient the crew was and thanked them for their hard work.
