Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Graceville, MN was tired of dealing with her worn down and old basement space. Over the years, the water damage had increased, and she decided it was finally time to stop the problem before something more serious happened to the home. She went online to find a solution and found the American Waterworks website where she scheduled a FREE no-obligation estimate with one of our experts. We sent over Design Specialist Kevin Beseman to the home where he inspected the basement space and talked with the homeowner about her expectations. The homeowner explained that she not only wanted the water intake to stop, but for the basement to look cleaner and not as dark or damp. Kevin assured her that he had the perfect solution to achieve both of her wants. The homeowner agreed to the plans and the installation day was scheduled. When our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew arrived at the site, they installed a new SuperSump Plus pump and our CleanSpace basement wall vapor barrier. With these new products, the basement was able to take the incoming water and direct it safely outside of the home. The homeowner was pleased with the water-free space and how bright the basement looked.

A Walnut Grove, MN, homeowner had been aware that his basement was in trouble for a while. Over the years, the wall had begun to bow inward, and the water had begun to take on water during times of heavy rain. The homeowner knew that if he didn't do something about the problem wall, he could run the risk of compromising the structural integrity of the home or hindering the home from reaching its full resale value down the road. He began to look into MN foundation repair and quickly found our website. Impressed by our foundation repair jobs in his area, he decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Eric H, headed out to the home. Eric completed a thorough inspection of the home, and when he was done, he met with the homeowner to go over his recommendations. Eric commended the homeowner on seeking a professional's input on the situation. He went on to say that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not from the side. So when the pressure on the wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for the homeowner to observe cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. He also referred to the unwanted water in the space as an issue and stated that his recommendations would address both problems. Beginning with the damp basement, Eric recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the unfinished basement walls. It works to direct unwanted water entering through the wall downward and into a perimeter drain, which, in this case, Eric recommended to be our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the floor of the basement but atop the footing of the foundation. This placement keeps the drain out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog, leading to a flooded basement. To perfect the waterproofing system, Eric recommended our TripleSafe sump pump, the most reliable sump system in our lineup. Next, Eric moved on to the foundation repair. He recommended our PowerBrace wall repair system. This system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustments. The PowerBrace system can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical over time. The homeowner was thrilled with Eric's comprehensive plan. and the two worked together to find the best day for the products to be installed. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Kiko P, and his team installed 126 ft of WaterGuard, 126 ft of CleanSpace, 1 TripleSafe, and 9 PowerBrace's throughout the basement. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing his unhealthy basement has been transformed! 

Eric D. of Milroy, MN had water seeping into his basement and he wanted to get it inspected by a professional. He knew of our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, so he told him about the problems he was having. After an informative discussion and a written-up quote, Eric D. decided to move forward with the project so he could get his problems repaired and fixed. 

Our Foreman, Clay Bassingthwaite, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which is an underground drain that collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which prevents mold, mildew, and humidity, and it gives the basement a bright, clean appearance. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps in the floor with rock and applied new concrete over it. Eric D. was grateful we were able to help him with his basement repair needs!
