Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A Montevideo, MN, homeowner was facing an issue with her basement. Each time it rained, small amounts of water found its way into her basement and settled on her floor. She searched for 'basement repairs near me' and eventually found our website. She was impressed with the other work we had done in her area, so she decided to schedule her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Ryan P, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived, he got right to work assessing the space. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that he believed that the water intrusion issue could be handled with our SuperSump sump pump. This pump is effective and economical, including a powerful Zoeller 1/3 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 agreed with Ryan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Matt Z, and his team were able to place the sump with no issues. Now, our customer can enjoy a water-free basement! 

Dawn, a homeowner in Wanda, MN, called American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan. She wanted an estimate for waterproofing as the melting snow and heavy rain were causing water to enter her basement.  Ryan went to the home to inspect the problem and devise a solution. He proposed she invest in our waterproofing solutions to address and resolve the issues properly. Dawn was comfortable with the proposal and went ahead with the solutions.

Our Foreman, Lane, and his crew headed to the property to begin implementation. First, they began by clearing debris and readying the spaces for installation. Next, the team worked on our WaterGuard System, which is an underground drain that collects water from basement walls and prevents water clogs. They next installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System with three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up.

Dawn was happy with the work and had a great experience with our production crew! If you are experiencing a similar issue, please give us a call and claim your FREE estimate today!

A homeowner in Dunnell, MN had water leaking from his basement walls and windows, making him feel nervous and uneasy living in his own home. They got in contact with American Waterworks to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to their home to carefully inspect their walls and windows to come up with a solution. The homeowner got all of their questions answered and felt comfortable in Dylan's proposal, so they went ahead and scheduled an installation date.

Our Foreman, Edgar Miranda, and his production team began the project by cutting out their basement window and replacing it with one of our EverLast Basement Windows. Our EverLast Windows are energy-efficient, double-paneled, and are designed to replace outdated, wood-framed basement windows. Next, our team cut out the concrete basement floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, Edgar and his crew installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. Lastly, our crew installed 110 feet of our FoamMax Basement Wall Panels. Our FoamMax provides comfort, warmth, and energy-efficiency while making foundation walls look clean and bright. To complete the installation, our crew filled the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete. The homeowner was extremely happy with the job and had a great experience from start to finish! 

A Wabasso, MN, homeowner faced a unique basement issue. Each time it rained, the basement fell victim to unwanted standing water. The homeowner had tried several DIY home remedies to fix the water intrusion, but nothing worked. She knew she needed to find a MN basement waterproofing contractor but didn't know where to start. One day she spotted one of our vehicles on the road and read that we offer basement waterproofing. She decided to set up her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Kevin B, one of our Design Specialists,  headed out to the home. 
When Kevin arrived at the property, he got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Kevin began by stating that he wanted to install our Basement to Beautiful wall panels, the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient basement. These insulated panels provide 24% more energy savings than conventional foam products, creating a warm protective blanket around your basement that will never rot or support mold growth. Next, Kevin wanted to install our WaterGuard.This unique French drain gets installed below the slab of the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation. It works to catch water coming up through the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a proper disposal site. Because the basement lacked a means of disposal, Kevin wanted to use our TripleSafe sump pump, the most reliable sump in our lineup. These powerful pumps provide three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower pump set at the lowest level. For times of heavy water intrusion, this machine boasts a more powerful Zoeller 1/2 hr pump set a bit higher in the liner. The homeowner agreed with all of Kevin's recommendations and scheduled the job on the spot. 

The day of the project finally rolled around. Our Foreman, Jeromy A, was able to lead his team through the successful installation of 170ft of WaterGuard, 1 TripleSafe, and 49 ft of Basement to Beautiful panels. When they had finished, the homeowner was thrilled to know that his basement waterproofing issues were in the past! 

PJ B. of Wabasso, MN had water leaking through the walls of her basement, making her feel nervous about water damages. American Waterworks provided him with prior foundation work, so he decided to go with us again for his basement waterproofing repairs. Our Service Technician, Mitchell Sobotta, sold him the project and answered all the questions that he had regarding the installation. PJ moved forward with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team began the repairs by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which prevents mold and humidity build-up, covers any unnecessary holes, and gives the room a neat and clean appearance. Lastly, Jesus and his crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe is the best sump pump we provide for homeowners, it comes with three levels or protection, and it solves all three water problems in one system. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. PJ was happy with the repairs and had another great experience with our team!
