Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Kay H. in La Crescent, MN had water leaking into her basement. She was concerned about the high humidity and the damage it was causing. She saw advertising on one of our vehicles in her area and decided to give us a call. She met with one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, who inspected the home and proposed a permanent solution. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew began the waterproofing project by first removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installing our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump, which is backed by three levels of protection. Any water is now guided through the WaterGuard to the sump pump, and from there, is expelled from the home. Lastly, our SaniDry dehumidifier was put in place to take care of any humidity. Kay was happy with the project and glad her basement is now a dry, clean space. 

Kelly S. in La Crescent, MN contacted American Waterworks after being referred by another contractor. The home had an old sump pump that was unable to keep up with heavy rains and snow melt. She had water leaking into her basement, and she wanted a permanent solution. She met with Pete Wangen, one of our Design Specialists, who worked with Kelly to create a custom plan for her home. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and through the  middle of the floor, then laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they hung our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to further protect the space from moisture and mold. Then, they filled back the gaps in the floor with rock before replacing the concrete and cleaning up their work area. Kelly was pleased with the results and glad she made the investment to protect her home.

Mary M. of La Crescent, MN had water leaking through the floor of her basement at the end of her staircase, making her worry about the safety of her home. One of her friends referred to American Waterworks, so she called our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac Cole. Mac went to her home to inspect her basement and come up with a solution. Mary was confident in Mac's proposal, so she went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson 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 serves as an underground drain that leads to the outside of the home, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. To complete the project, our crew covered the gaps under the WaterGuard with rock and applied new concrete. Mary said she had a wonderful experience and was grateful we were able to help her and her home repair needs! 

Monica S. of Prairie Du Chien, WI had water leaking through the walls in her basement, making her worry about humidity and mold problems.

Monica and Rick discussed her issues and Rick signed her up for a free estimate to get her basement looked at. Rick went to her home, carefully inspected and diagnosed the problems in her basement, and provided a solution that worked for her and her home repair needs.

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which prevents water and mud clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and serves as an underground drain that works efficiently with the basement sump pump. Next, Kiko and his team installed our FoamMax Wall Panels around the wall perimeter. Our FoamMax makes the walls look clean and bright, reduces condensation, and provides heavy protection from moisture. To complete the installation, Kiko and his crew filled the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Monica was happy with the repairs and had a great experience!

In a couple of days, our Design Specialist, Dustin A., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Dustin took a close look at the areas of concern, answered any questions, and took measurements. Once he was done, he created a proposal for the homeowner recommending WaterGuard, our elite perimeter drains system that collects water leaks from walls and floors and sends it to the sump pump, CleanSpace, our sturdy and flexible vapor barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls and directs any water leaks to the drain system, TripleSafe, our top-of-the-line sump pump system that comes with 3 pumps in one unit, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape during the harsh winters preventing basement floods. After looking over Dustin's proposal, the homeowner happily moved forward with the project.
