Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Fargo, ND, was cleaning their basement when they noticed the corner of their basement was water-damaged. Worried this could lead to major issues, the homeowner began looking into possible repairs. Knowing they could not repair the basement themselves, the homeowner began looking into a "waterproofing system for basement." After comparing several companies, the homeowner's eye was caught by us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner took a closer look at our services. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, James. A few days later, James arrived at the home and began a thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, James confirmed that water was leaking in that basement corner. To prevent the issue from continuing, James recommended waterproofing the corner. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with James' recommendations. Next, James passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logistics team approved the plans, and then they were scheduled for a few weeks later. Once the project date arrived, our assigned Foreman, Emmanuel, and his crew traveled to the home to start the project. First, Emmanuel and his crew began by installing WaterGuard along the corner perimeter. Additionally, they dug a feed line to connect to the current sump pump system. Then, the crew installed two GeoLock Wall Anchors on the corner walls. Finally, the crew wrapped up by installing CleanSpace on the unfinished basement walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted to assist its customers in their home projects. 

Water was leaking through the parking ramp of The Historic Union, which is an apartment building in Fargo, ND. Devon L., one of the managers of the apartment building, was worried about flooding and water moisture problems, so he wanted to get it repaired right away. He got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to the apartment building ramp, carefully inspected the problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. Devon was confident with Ian's proposal and drawn-out solution, so he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his crew began the project by installing our DryTrak Drainpipe System around the floor perimeter of the parking ramp. Our DryTrak System is a great option for thick concrete slabs and gets apoxied above the floor with no jackhammering, leaving a slight opening along the top to collect water leaking from the wall. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity, covers any divots or holes, and gives the space a neat and clean appearance.

Jessica S. of Goodridge, MN had water leaking into her basement, making her worry about the safety and health of her home. She heard about American Waterworks and called our front office to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to her home her, inspected her problems, and came up with a solution that fit her needs and budget. Jessica was comfortable with Ian's proposal and presentation, so she went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

To begin the project, our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs, collect water seepage from basement walls, and act as an underground drainage system that leads to the sump pump. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and humidity build-up, and give the basement a neat and clean appearance. To complete the project, Corey and his team covered the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Jessica was happy with the repairs and loved the transformation! 

Cindy, from Plummer, MN, was looking for some solutions for her home's basement space. The basement was experiencing water intrusion and cracking foundation, so she decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. Following a thorough inspection, Ian gave his recommendations to Cindy, suggesting that she invest in our WaterGuard system as well as our SuperSump Plus. 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. Cindy agreed, and our crew got to work.

Our Foreman and his crew began implementing our WaterGuard System. From there, our crew installed our SuperSump Plus Sump Pump to the feedline. Our crew filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. 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. 

After all was said and done, Cindy was glad she made the decision to call American Waterworks and had her peace of mind restored.

A homeowner in West Fargo, ND had recently discovered his basement was suffering from water damage. He could recognize where the water damage was happening but didn't have enough knowledge as to why it was happening or how to fix it. He decided to contact our American Waterworks team to receive a FREE estimate from one of our experts. We sent over Design Specialist Dylan Johnson to the home to inspect the area and come up with a solution. Dylan discovered that while the homeowner had an existing sump pump, it was not able to keep up with the amount of water that was entering through the foundation. He suggested installing a new SuperSump Plus system, a vital part of any basement water control system, that would be able to consistently pump the water. Our Foreman, Domenic Walz, and his crew arrived at the home for the installation process and began by removing the old sump pump. Next, they replaced it with the SuperSump Plus pump and connected a discharge line from the pump to the outside of the home. They finally added clean gravel and smoothed out concrete surrounding the pump to keep out debris and dirt from entering. Thanks to our American Waterworks crew, this basement is water free once again for the homeowner.
