Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Leo S. in Stoddard, WI had water leaking through his wood foundation into his finished basement. Unfortunately, the water had caused damaged to his drywall and flooring. He contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on TV, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to his home to provide him with a free estimate and unique waterproofing plan. He liked the thorough plan that Pete developed, so he scheduled the installation.  

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and his production crew removed the damaged portion of the drywall and then removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to create a trench for our WaterGuard drainage system. They laid the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, so the water will be properly guided to the sump pump. Next, they filled back the gaps around the WaterGuard with rock and replaced the concrete. Then, they installed the EverLast half-wall restoration system. This wall system includes metal studs and an inorganic, mold-resistant wall product that replaces the bottom 32" of the drywall. This is a permanent solution for water-damaged dry wall! Leo’s peace of mind has been restored and he is enjoying a dry, healthier basement!

Kevin L. in Galesville, WI had dealt with a wet basement for the last 40 years, and he was finally tired of it. He did his research and learned that American Waterworks has been the leading waterproofing contractor in the region for the last 30 years. He met with one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, who evaluated the situation and designed a unique solution. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production crew were able to successfully waterproof Kevin’s basement by installing 160 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard French drain is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. Kevin is happy he found a permanent solution to protect his home. 

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI, discovered wet spots throughout their basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowners knew they needed to find a professional to assist them. The homeowner looked into "local basement contractors" and one of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our five-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once their estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Michel. A few days later, Michel traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Michel confirmed that several areas were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the issue from continuing, Michel recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Michel's recommendations. Next, Michel passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project for a few months later. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Lane, and his crew started by installing WaterGuard in the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the eye-catching transformation made by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customer's damaged basements. 

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI, noticed signs of mold growth and water leaking through the joint between the wall and the footing. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew he needed expert advice and began searching for basement waterproofing contractors in La Crosse, WI, and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our basement transformations, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dustin A., arrived at the home to assess the basement. During the inspection, Dustin confirmed that the home is experiencing water issues due to a failed footing drain. When this fails, water easily saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then forces itself through cracks in the walls, between the footing and the wall, or beneath the footing. To fix this issue, Dustin recommended installing WaterGuard, our patented below-the-floor perimeter drainage system that collects water and safely sends it to the sump pump, TripleSafe, our superior sump pump system with three levels of protection, including a battery backup pump, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in sub-zero temperatures. After reviewing Dustin's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Lane S., arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 69ft of WaterGuard along the perimeter of the basement, 1 TripleSafe, and 2 IceGuard. After everything was properly installed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI became concerned when she went down to her basement space and noticed large pools of water spreading out across the floor. The water had made its way inside the home through multiple walls, which added to the damage.

She went online and searched, "wet basement repair companies near me" which led her to finding the American Waterworks company website.
