Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Cy S. in Viroqua, WI contacted American Waterworks because he had water in his basement and his new addition. He met with one of our Design Specialists, who proposed that the best solution was to install a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system. They removed a section of the concrete floor around the perimeter and created a drainage trench. The WaterGuard is then placed within the trench and filled back with rock to fill the gaps. They also installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to protect the room from moisture and potential mold growth. The encapsulation system will now guide water leaking in through the foundation walls and redirect it to their WaterGuard perimeter floor drainage system and ultimately drain into the SuperSump sump pump. Cy is pleased that his basement is now a dry, healthier space and he is glad he chose to invest in the long-term protection of his home.

Marvin L. in Bangor, WI was tired of dealing with the water seeping into his basement. It was beginning to cause him stress, and he wanted a permanent solution. He contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to evaluate the situation and propose the best, cost-effective solution for his home. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump, which is backed by three levels of protection. Then, the crew installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls and our SaniDry dehumidifier to take care of any humidity. With our CleanSpace installed, any water seepage coming through the wall will be directed down into the drainage system. Marvin is happy with the results and glad he chose a permanent solution for his home!

A homeowner in Bloomer, WI, noticed their sump pump was not running efficiently. Worried this could seriously affect their basement, the homeowner began looking into "best home sump pumps near me". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our elite sump pump lineup, the homeowner knew we were the perfect choice for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, one of our Design Specialists, Chuck, to the home to take a closer look. Chuck promptly arrived at the home and began the detailed inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Chuck confirmed the sump pump required replacement. Additionally, Chuck recommended installing additional waterproofing products in the basement. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Chuck's recommendations. Next, Chuck passed the proposal to our Logsitics team to approve and finalize the plan. Our Logistics team scheduled the project for a couple of months later, then it was assigned to our Foreman, Kevin, and his crew. Once Kevin and his crew arrived, they began the installation. First, Kevin and his crew began by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, Kevin and his crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+ pump. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is secured. 

Fred A. of Bloomer, WI had water leaking into his basement after every rain. He saw an American Waterworks print advertisement, so he scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chuck. Chuck inspected Fred's basement and proposed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is our most common interior drainage system. Fred was confident in the product and its features, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and has easily accessible service ports when the time comes for annual maintenance. To complete the install, our crew filled the open gaps with river rock to allow proper water flow and applied a new layer of concrete over it. 

Fred said the three-men crew were the nicest guys ever and were very hard workers!

A homeowner in Chippewa Falls, WI was cleaning his basement when he noticed one of the wall's base panels was damp. He began to check the other walls and became concerned when he found the same issue throughout the whole basement. He decided not wait and let the issue continue growing worse and immediately began searching for solutions. The homeowner came across the American Waterworks and was interested in signing up for one of our FREE estimate appointments. We decided to send over Design Specialist Daniel Reinke to take a look at the basement and give his recommendations. Daniel explained that with this kind of issue, the basement needed to be fully waterproofed with the installation of our WaterGuard system around the basement perimeter. He explained that our WaterGuard is the premier choice for below-floor drains, as it stays on top of the footing and out of the "mud zone" where other drains of it's kind normally clog. The homeowner was pleased that there was a solution and agreed to the recommendations. When it was time for the installations, Foreman Lane Schlobohm crew arrived at the home, ready to complete the project. Lane and his crew successfully installed the WaterGuard and the homeowner was beyond happy to have a clean water-free basement back.
