Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Bellingham, MN was in his basement space when he noticed how much damage the floors had in one of the bedrooms. Upon closer look, the damage was only around the perimeter of the bedroom and hadn't spread too far into the rest of the room. The homeowner was eager to find a solution before the problem did get worse, so he started his research. Online he searched, "basement waterproofing companies in my area," which is how he found the American Waterworks website. He decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates to learn more about our work. Design Specialist Ryan Powell arrived at the home ready to carry out an inspection and offer his recommendations. He informed the homeowner that waterproofing the basement room would be the best plan and the homeowner agreed to the recommended installations. When our Foreman, Francisco Escamilla, and his crew went to the site they installed a Waterguard basement drainage system and a new SuperSump pump. Afterwards, the basement was water-free and clean once again. The homeowner was impressed with how efficient the crew was and thanked them for their hard work.

Nancy S. in Currie, MN contacted American Waterworks after being referred to us by a previous customer. She had been struggling with a wet basement and water-damage to her home. She wanted to find a permanent solution, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, who designed a unique solution for her home. 

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and his crew installed 84 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system, 30 feet of feed line, and our SuperSump sump pump. Then, they replaced the concrete and cleaned up their work area. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Nancy is pleased with the results and glad her basement is now a dry, healthy space. 

Brad C. in Minneota, MN had water seeping into his basement and had noticed his basement was drastically colder than the rest of his home. He contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our waterproofing solutions, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, to his home to provide him with an inspection and FREE estimate. Along with a full waterproofing system, Dylan recommended that we install our Basement to Beautiful panels to insulate Brad’s basement.

Our Basement to Beautiful wall panels are the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient basement. They are designed with advanced SilverGlo graphite-infused foam insulation, which provides 24% more energy savings than conventional foam products. They create a warm, protective blanket around the basement that will never rot or support mold growth. Thanks to our waterproofing system and these Basement to Beautiful wall panels, Brad is now enjoying a healthier, more comfortable home, while saving money on heating costs!

A Marshall, MN, homeowner had noticed several cracks running down his foundation walls over the years. He did not want to worry about the problem any longer, so he decided to find a foundation repair company out of Minnesota. After he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist was headed out to the home. 

Our Design Specialist got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he was ready to make his recommendation, our CarbonArmor system. He explained that foundation wall cracks and bowing basement walls are signs that your foundation requires repair. CarbonArmor® straps are a quick, affordable way to stabilize block and poured concrete walls that have cracked and that are showing signs of bowing. Our installers determine the number of straps required depending on the pressure being exerted and the length of the affected wall. The super strong carbon fiber straps are then attached to the wall with epoxy. While this method does not restore a bowed wall to its original plumb state, it will halt further movement and cracks. And because the straps don't protrude from the wall the way I-beams do, the repair can be easily covered with mortar, paint, or light wall panels. The homeowner liked the sound of our Design Specialists plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Raul B, led his team through the successful installation of 13 CarbonArmor strips throughout the basement. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing his foundation worries have been halted! 

Karen M. in Marshall, MN was tired of dealing with her basement flooding after heavy rains and snow melt. She contacted American Waterworks after doing some online research and spending some time on our website. She met with one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, who inspected the situation and developed a thorough plan to keep Karen’s basement dry. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production crew got to work and removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laid 121 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump, providing three levels of protection for Karen’s basement and her peace of mind.
