Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Altura, MN became worried about his basement when his daughter had informed him that her floors were damp. He looked into the problem himself and found exactly what she had said. Not wanting the damage to worsen if water continued to make its way into the home, he decided to find a solution. Online he found the American Waterworks company name and once he saw some of their before and after photos from past waterproofing jobs, he signed up for one of the FREE estimate appointments. The homeowner was greeted by Design Specialist Nick Skillman, who inspected the entire basement and gave his recommendations. Nick found other areas that also had some water damage and he suggested that the whole basement be waterproofed. The homeowner agreed and wanted to move forward with the plan for installations. One of our Foremen, Arturo Mares, and his crew later went to the site to install the WaterGuard basement drainage system. WaterGuard works to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away safely to the pump. The homeowner was so glad that a solution had been found and that he no longer had to worry about water entering the space.

A homeowner in Postville, IA distressed after discovering their standing water in their basement. Frantically searching for a solution, the homeowner looked for the quickest respondent to their emergency. The homeowner looked into "flooded basement repair near Postville, IA" and one of the first companies to show up was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and we set their FREE estimate with Brady, one of our Iowa-based Design Specialsits. Brady traveled to Postville and inspected the entire basement. During his investigation, Brady noticed several issues with the foundation, which led to the issues regarding flooding.  Brady completed the estimate and told the homeowner of the issues he discovered and how we could solve them. After hearing Brady's proposal, the homeowner knew it was their best option. The homeowner agreed with the solution, so Brady sent the plans to the office to build the project. Once the project was built, they sent the plans to our Foreman, Juan, and his crew. Juan and his crew traveled to the home and started the project. First, Juan and his crew began by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard channels were dug, the crew put two TripleSafe Sump Pumps into place. Next, the crew attached 14 GeoLock Wall anchors to secure the foundation. Finally, the crew wrapped up the project by attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Once all the products were installed, Juan and his crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the transformation completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to fully waterproof and stabilize its customer's basements.

Justin from Baldwin, WI, had discovered water under his home's laminate flooring in the basement. They had ripped out the flooring and some of the wall to find three cracks in the foundation that had been repaired at some point, but were now letting water in. He wanted to discuss some foundation repair solutions with our team, so he called for a FREE estimate to understand our possible solutions. Our Design Specialist, Mac, traveled to her home to take a look around. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his recommendation for a plan to transform Justin's basement into a healthy, clean space. He recommended the customer invest in our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. 

Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew, headed out and started making Justin's home a drier, safer place to live. First, our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

They then went to work installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water Issues. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier that gets installed right onto the problem walls, and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. This also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. The crew also used spray foam to seal and waterproof the homeowner's crawl space. Our spray foam is designed to keep the heat inside and prevent cool air from coming in. Justin was grateful for the support and guidance of American Waterworks in protecting his home! Are you having water problems in your basement? Click HERE to learn more about our WaterGuard System! 

A homeowner in Baldwin, WI, made a startling discovery, pools of water in their basement. Anxious about the long-term damage, the homeowners knew they needed a waterproofing professional to give them an answer. After a quick online search, the homeowner saw us at the top of the list. The homeowner reviewed our impressive waterproofing lineup and knew we were the company for them. While on the website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jesse, to find the source of the water. Once Jesse saw the water, he could provide the homeowner with a solution to stop further water intrusion. Jesse recommended installing brand-new waterproofing products in the basement. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed. Once the plans were approved, we sent our Foreman, Lane, and crew to begin the project. First, the crew started by placing the WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was in place, the crew dug a feedline to the sump pump. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. The crew completed the waterproofing products, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was beyond grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew.
