Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Patrick C. in Cresco, IA had water leaking into his basement. He was concerned about the damage that it was causing to his home, so he contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. Rick worked closely with Patrick to create the right waterproofing plan for his home. Patrick approved of the proposal that Rick presented to him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his crew installed 127 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Patrick has peace of mind that he chose the right solution to protect his basement for the long-term.

Perry M. of Cresco, IA had water leaking into their basement, so they wanted to get it inspected by a professional. Our service technician, Mitchell, went to Perry's home, carefully inspected their problems, and proposed a solution that would work for them and their needs. Perry was confident in the solution so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. Inside the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system that prevents mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our ZenWall Insulated Panels around the entire basement wall perimeter, which gives the basement a finished look benefits your home by adding insulation and creating a heat-reflective vapor barrier on the walls. To complete the project, our crew filled the open gaps with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete over them.

Toni and Bonnie M. of Cresco, IA had water leaking into the two bedrooms in their basement and they didn't know where it was leaking from. They were getting tired of cleaning the carpet, so they got in contact with our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to their home and figured out that the water was leaking from their basement window. Rick proposed our Egress Window Well, which provides more natural lighting and fresh air while providing a safe emergency egress. Toni and Bonnie were confident in Rick's solution, so they signed the contract and followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his production team began the project by digging out the soil around the existing window, forming a large hole to fit the egress into. These window wells provide rigid construction that doesn't collapse from the backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. to complete the installation, our team backfilled the soil around the egress, ensuring that their working space was neater than when they found it. Toni and Bonnie were thrilled with the completion and their peace of mind was restored!
