Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

After the heavy snow melt, a homeowner in Rochester, MN, noticed their basement was suffering from water intrusion. Worried this was going to seriously impact their basement. The homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Eric. A few days later, Eric promptly arrived at the home and started the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Eric confirmed the basement was suffering from several water intrusion issues. To prevent the water issues from continuing, Eric suggested securing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Eric to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Kiko and his crew began by securing WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to securing CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. After both of the products were secured, the crew shifted to cleaning up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.

Robert reached out to American Waterworks to find a solution that would permanently fix his leaky basement and damp deteriorating walls in this historical Rochester, MN home.

Mac, one of our Design Specialists, met with Robert to provide a FREE quote. Mac listened to Robert's questions and concerns, performed a detailed inspection, and designed a solution that met all of Robert's needs. Robert was pleased with the proposal and scheduled the installation. 

The production team, led by Jose C., installed WaterGuard as well as a TripleSafe sump system, which provided 3 levels of protection against pump failure. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty. To help preserve the historical basement walls, our Basement to Beautiful product was installed which provides a vapor barrier, insulation, and metal studs in one product. We installed spray foam insulation in the rim joist to complete the project. This total system ensures a dry, comfortable, usable basement for years to come. 

A homeowner in Rochester, MN called us after experiencing a wet basement in her home.   In order to fix the water problem properly, American Waterworks installed 74 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system.  To prevent any further water damage or mold growth to her walls, American Waterworks installed our Everlast Finished Wall Restoration System.  The Everlast System is an economically feasible way to finish your basement and never have to worry about mold growth again.

A homeowner from Rochester, MN, got in touch with us one day after a particularly hard rainfall. She noticed that there was small droplets of water leaking down her wall and resting on her basement floor. She knew that water damage was not something to play around with, so she began her search for basement waterproofing in Rochester, MN. Through her online searches, she came across our website. She decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, Ryan P, one of our waterproofing Design Specialists, headed out to her home to see what could be done. 

Ryan completed a thorough inspection of the basement, and when he was finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Because of the kind of basement and the severity of the water intrusion, Ryan recommended three of our products to help the homeowner's basement. First, Ryan wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that gets applied directly to unfinished basement walls. It's durable, washable, and has anti-microbial protection called UltraFresh built right in! This innovative product works to collect water entering from cracks or holes in the wall, directing it downward and directly into a perimeter drain, which in this case, Ryan wanted to be our WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a unique French drain system that gets installed below the floor slab and atop the footing of the foundation. By placing the drain here, it stays out of the "mud zone" where other drains tend to clog. This drain works to collect water draining downward from CleanSpace, as well as from the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to the appropriate disposal site. Because the basement lacked this site, Ryan was recommending our SuperSump sump pump. He explained that it's the perfect choice for an effective, yet economical solution. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner liked the idea of all of our products working hand-in-hand, so she decided to schedule the installation for some time later. 

The day of the project rolled around and our installation crew, led by their Foreman, Kiko got right to work transforming the homeowner's basement. In the end, our team installed  ft36 of WaterGuard and CleanSpace, and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can enjoy the rainfall knowing her basement has the best line of defense against water intrusion!
