Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A property from Eau Claire, MN, had a rental property she needed an upgrade on. One of the lower-level rooms was to be used as a bedroom, but it was not up to code. Wanting to upgrade, the property owner began to search for how to replace basement egress wells online. When she found our website, she signed up for a FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Chuck H, one of our Design Specialists headed out to the home. 

Chuck got right to work surveying the home and old window well. When he finished, he was ready to deliver his recommendations. Chuck recommended the installation of our RockWell window well. RockWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells, while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. Click the arrows below to learn more about the features and benefits of our egress window wells. RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust and rot proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. Our egress window wells meet the IRC Egress Code Requirements, providing you and your family with a direct escape from any of the inhabited rooms in your basement. RockWell’s egress window wells feature durable, built-in steps that make it easy for your family to escape from your basement in the event of an emergency. We also offer safety ladders for our Premier series window wells. A polycarbonate safety cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural sunlight and fresh outside air to enter your basement. While they are not intended for continual foot traffic, the 10mm fluted polycarbonate cover will hold up to 500 lbs. of weight and prevent family members from accidentally falling into the window well. The homeowner liked the look and safety of our window well, and schedule the installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Gabriel, and his team were able to install the window well in no time. Now, our customer can rent out her property with confidence that the home is up to code!

During a thunderstorm, a homeowner in Eau Claire, WI, listened as his sump pump struggled to remove the water. Knowing that the Midwest weather can be unpredictable, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing contractors in the area and found us. After looking through our website and becoming drawn by our sump pumps, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Ross, arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he talked to the homeowner to get a better understanding of their concerns. The homeowner explained that he is just looking to get his current sump pump working again, but wanted to keep it within his budget. Ross understood and recommended our Zoeller M-53 1/3 HP pump, which is capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, UltraSump, our battery backup pump that can operate during power outages, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line attachment that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipes freeze. Both pumps would be installed in the homeowner's current sump pump system, replacing the current broken pumps. After looking over Ross's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the installation date.

In about a week, our Foreman, Lane S., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by taking out the old pump and replacing it with our Zoeller M-53 pump and UltraSump. Lastly, the crew installed 1 IceGuard outside of the home and connected it to the sump system. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing his sump system can effortlessly remove water from his basement. Are you experiencing something similar? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate today!

Mrs. Fenner contacted American Waterworks after being tired of the same old leak in her basement every time it rained.  Our System Design Specialist, Chad, was able to design a comprehensive plan to avoid any future water damage by recommending 135 feet of WaterGuard and two SuperSump sump pumps. 

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI, was struggling with a unique issue each time it rained. The sump pump that had been placed in a downstairs closet, was taking on too much water during heavy rain, causing the excess water to spill over the top and end up on the floor. The homeowner didn't want to risk doing permanent water damage to his basement, so he began to search for sump pump companies in Minnesota. After he found our website, he decided to set up his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. 

Once Derek completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his findings. He informed her that it's not uncommon for older sump pumps to have issues during times of heavy water intrusion. Derek went on to say that he was recommending an upgrade to the current system. Derek wanted to use our TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe is the most reliable sump pump system in our lineup. During normal times, It provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. The TripleSafe boasts a powerful cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. In times of heavy volumes of water, a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 hp pump will take over, keeping the basement dry no matter how heavy the rain is. The homeowner liked the sound of Derek's plan and scheduled the work for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our team headed out to the home to install the sump pump. Led by their Foreman, Jesus C, our team installed 1 sump pump in a new location in the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy her below-ground space without worries of standing water!
