Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Stewartville, MN, a homeowner had been experiencing multiple issues with their basement, such as water leaks and signs of the walls shifting. They also recently tested their home for radon, and levels were above the recommended levels. Looking for a long-term solution, the homeowner began searching for basement repair contractors in the area and found us. Impressed by our reviews and that we offer the services they were looking for, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan M., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the basement, identified where the leaks were, and which walls needed stabilizing. He also took a close look at the layout of the home to determine the best placement of our radon mitigation system. To waterproof the basement, Ryan recommended installing WaterGuard, our interior drainage system that directs water leaks to the sump pump system, CleanSpace, our vapor wall liner that prevents water vapor from permeating the walls, TripleSafe, our extremely reliable sump pump system that comes with three levels of protection, IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge system that allows water to escape in freezing temperatures. To stabilize the foundation walls, Ryan recommended installing GeoLocks, our wall anchor system that is designed to stop further wall movement. Confident in our TEAM, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Lane S., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 12 GeoLocks, 118 ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace, 1 TripleSafe, 2 IceGuards, and 1 Radon Mitigation System.

Brent B. of Stewartville, MN wanted to have an Egress Window installed. They found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so they scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jesse, went to Brent's house, carefully inspected her window, and proposed a quote for the job. Brent was confident in the proposal, so he went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Jose C., and his crew excavated the soil around the foundation, broke out the foundation wall, and installed our Egress Window and RockWell Window Well. Our Egress Windows are designed to allow a safe exit out of the home, provide a more inviting entrance to the basement, and bring in more fresh air. Our RockWell Window Well is a one-piece construction that is made for safety and is a great alternative to ugly window windows. To complete the project, our crew backfilled and compacted the soil, ensuring the space was neater and cleaner than when they found it.

Dale C. in Lawler, IA contacted American Waterworks because he was interested in learning more about our TripleSafe sump pump system. He already had a sump pump in his basement, but it was not able to keep up with water from heavy rains and snow melt. We sent one of our Design Specialists to his home to evaluate Dale’s situation and propose a solution to fit his needs.

Our production crew successfully installed our TripleSafe sump pump and battery backup system. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump system, providing three levels of protection, and the battery backup provides additional peace of mind. In case of a power outage, the backup with pump 11,500 gallons or more of water on a fully charged battery. Dale is glad he made the investment to protect his basement! 

Water was leaking through the floor of Debbie and Pete K.'s cabin in Garrison, MN, causing them to worry about water damage. They went on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks so they got a FREE Estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to their cabin, inspected the water leaks, and proposed the solution of our WaterGuard Drainage System. Debbie and Pete were happy with Shane's proposal so they signed it, wrote out a deposit, and got a date scheduled for the install. 

Our Foreman, Edgar, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. Our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System in the trench, which prevents water clogs, serves as an underground drain, and collects water leaks from basement walls. To complete the installation, Edgar and his team covered the open-floor gaps with river rock and pea gravel and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the space was neat and clean.

Tammy R. in Hastings, MN noticed dampness in several areas of her basement that started to cause damage to the foundation and create a musty smell. She was concerned about the air quality of her home and started to do some research. She was glad to learn that American Waterworks is the leading contractor in basement waterproofing in the region and gave us a call. We sent our Design Specialist to her home to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution to fit her needs. She approved of the plan and moved forward with the installation date. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and the production crew started the installation by removing concrete and laying 158 feet of the WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump and our Basement To Beautiful Insulated Wall Panels. Lastly, the crew installed our Battery Backup System to ensure lasting reliability and to keep the sump pump running efficiently and effectively. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, and Tammy is glad she made the investment to protect her home.
