Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Patricia W. of Arcadia, WI had water leaking into her basement, causing flooding hazards and stains in her basement, due to the high percentage of iron. Iron ochre is a rust-colored bacterium that dissolves in water and attaches to pipes, and eventually results in complete blockage. To resolve the problem, she called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Hector Garcia, to learn more about our basement waterproofing repair products. Hector went to Patricia's home to inspect the problems and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Patricia was comfortable with Hector's proposal, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our Iron Ochre Perimeter Drain. This system is ideal for managing difficult iron water problems. The wide-open design of the drain helps it resist clogs, while a removable lid allows for easy access and maintenance. Next, our production team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent mold and humidity, cover any holes or divots, and provide the space with a neat and clean appearance. To complete the installation, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Patricia was very thankful we were able to help serve her and her home repair needs!

Vanessa D. of Arcadia, WI had water leaking through the cracks of her basement walls, and she wanted to get them looked at before the problem got any worse. She went online and came across American Waterworks and our free estimate page, so she requested a free estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to her home, thoroughly inspected her basement, and drew out a solution that worked for her and her needs. Vanessa got all of her questions answered and felt confident in the proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by jackhammering 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 leakage from basement walls, and serves as an underground drain. Next, our team installed our FoamMax Wall Panels, which reduces the condensation for moisture protection and prevents mold and humidity. Lastly, our Foreman and his crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump we provide for homeowners because it triples the protection, solves all three water problems in one unit, and comes with a battery back-up. To complete the project, our team backfilled the gaps with pea gravel and applied new concrete over them. Vanessa was happy with the repairs and had a great experience!

Sue P. of De Soto, WI had severe water seepage in her basement, so she gave American Waterworks a call to see what we could do to help her. We sent out our Design Specialist, Eric Fox, for a Free Estimate to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough and detailed diagnosis, Sue was content with Eric's proposal, so she went ahead and got an installation date scheduled. 

Our foreman, Crescencio Pena, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete around the perimeter of the basement. Next, they applied 182 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the basement wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace acts as a wall vapor barrier and prevents mold or humidity from invading the concrete walls. Then, our team applied 182 feet of stone thin concrete around the tops of the CleanSpace to make sure it was extra secure. Then, Crescencio and his crew installed 182 feet of WaterGuard in the broken-out concrete. Our WaterGuard acts as a drainage system; it prevents water clogs and collects the water waste from beneath the CleanSpace. To complete the basement, Crescencio and his team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Sue was very pleased with the project, and was thankful we were able to help her save the life of her home!

Loretta K. of Independence, WI had water seeping through her basement cracks. She did some research on our website and filled out our FREE Estimate online form. Our Design Specialist, Charles Haldeman, went to her home to inspect the water problem and come up with a solution. Loretta was comfortable with his proposal, so she set up an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production team started the installation by cutting out the concrete perimeter of the basement, forming a trench. Next, our team applied 86 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the basement walls, which is made to prevent mold and humidity problems and gives the room a clean and bright appearance. Next, our crew installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and acts as an underground drain. Lastly, Dylon and his installed out SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump in the corner. Our sump pumps are made to pump water out fast and efficiently while keeping basements dry for many years. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with rock and re-applied new concrete. Loretta was extremely satisfied with the work and her peace of mind is restored! 

A homeowner in Stoddard, WI continually experienced flooding in their basement when the power went out.  American Waterworks was able to replace the failing beaver system and sump pump with our Waterguard and Triple Safe sump pump so the homeowner no longer had to worry about a wet basement after a storm.
