Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Scott R. in Fountain, MN had water leaking into his basement through the crack where the wall meets the floor. He decided to start looking for a waterproofing contractor and that’s when he found the American Waterworks website. He was impressed that we have been waterproofing experts for almost 30 years, so he decided to contact us for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, went to his home to inspect his basement and he developed a thorough waterproofing plan. Scott was happy with the proposal, so they scheduled the installation. 

Our production team removed the concrete around the perimeter of his basement floor and laid our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the corner of the basement. The WaterGuard guides water to the sump pump and then the water is pumped out of the home through the discharge line. Lastly, they replaced the concrete and installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system which protects the basement from moisture and potential mold growth. Scott was very pleased with the result and it happy that he can now enjoy a dry, healthier basement!

A couple from Fountain, MN got in contact with us when they began to notice that water was finding its way into their basement. Wanting to fix the issue before it could worsen, they contact our office and we set them up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Josh, headed out to the property to complete his walkthrough. Once he completed his inspection, he was ready to make recommendations as to how we could help the couple transform their space. First, Josh wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He told the couple that our CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp that gets applied directly onto the basement walls experiencing leakage. It works to catch water entering through cracks and holes in the foundation, leading it down into Josh's second recommendation, our WaterGuard below-floor french drainage system. Josh said that our WaterGuard is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. Its job is to catch water and then redirect it to the appropriate disposal site. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his team worked to install both products. When they finished, they installed 112ft of our WaterGuard and another 112ft of our CleanSpace throughout the basement. Now our customers can enjoy their space without thoughts of water intrusion. 

Harvey and Georgia P. of Mora, MN had water leaking throughout their unfinished basement, making them feel unsafe and nervous to live in their own home. They got in contact with American Waterworks to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to their home to inspect their water problems and come up with a solution. After a thorough and in-depth examination, Harvey and Georgia were comfortable with Shane's proposal, so they went ahead and got an installation date scheduled. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew started the installation by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs, acts as an underground drain, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and humidity build-up and is pliable enough to cover uneven surfaces and irregular walls, especially areas with large rock or deteriorations. Lastly, our team installed our SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump, which is made to keep basements clean and dry for long periods of time. To complete the project, Kiko and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Harvey and Georgia were thrilled with the work and had a great experience from start to finish!

Connie and Daniel S. of Mora, MN had water leaking through the walls of their basement, making them feel nervous about water moisture problems and flooding. They called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to their home, inspected their problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs and budget. Connie and Daniel were confident with our waterproofing products and warranty, so they went ahead with the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team began the process by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a drainage trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an interior drainage system, and collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and humidity, and hide any holes or divots in the walls. It also gives the room a neat and clean appearance. To complete the installation, our team covered the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete. Connie and Daniel were very happy with the repairs and had a great experience from start to finish!
