Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Dana and Carol S. of Lime Springs, IA were experiencing water leaking into their basement as well as cracking in their foundation walls. One of their contractors recommended American Waterworks to complete the job. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our sales manager, Eric Fox. Eric went to their home, inspected the problem, and came up with a solution. Dana and Carol were comfortable with Eric's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor with a jackhammer and formed a trench. In the trench, our team installed 142 feet of our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity growth, and it acts as an extra wall protectant. It also gives basements a neat and clean appearance. Then, Hugo and his crew installed 21 of our PowerBraces on the CleanSpace. Our PowerBraces are made to stabilize failing basement walls and straighten them out over time. Lastly, our team applied spray foam around the ceiling perimeter to provide extra insulation and to keep heat inside the basement. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Dana and Carol had a remarkable experience from appointment to installation, and their peace of mind has been restored!

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.
