Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Jamie S. in Mountain Lake, MN had water leaking into her basement and her old sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water coming in. While looking for a local waterproofing company, she came across American Waterworks’ website and decided to contact us for a FREE estimate.

We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to her home to inspect her basement and to develop a solution for her. Shane recommended that we install our drainage system under the concrete floor and a new sump pump to transform her basement into a permanently dry space. She agreed, and she liked Shane’s proposal, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed our WaterGuard drainage system along the two walls that had water seeping in. Then, they installed the SuperSump sump pump in the corner of the basement. The drainage system properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pumped through the discharge line to the outside of the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Jamie feels confident that she chose the right waterproofing solution to protect her home for the long-term.

Sandi W. of Belview, MN had water leaking through the cracks of her basement walls, causing her to worry about the value of her home. She went to the Redwood Falls Home Show to find a contractor who could help her. She found American Waterworks and talked to our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, about her water problems, so he set her up with a FREE Estimate. Shane went to her home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After an in-depth and clear examination, Sandi got all her questions answered so she followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Edgar Miranda, and his production crew began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter and forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed 147 feet of our WaterGuard System, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and serve as an underground drain. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System, which is a plastic vapor barrier made to prevent mold and humidity build-up and protect the basement from water exposure. To complete the project, Edgar and his team covered the open WaterGuard gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Sandi's peace of mind was restored and was grateful she found us at her local home show! 

A homeowner in Oxbow, ND, knew it was time to fix their leaking basement wall. Hoping they could catch the issue early enough, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing options near Oxbow, ND. The homeowner asked a local Facebook group for any recommendations and several members recommended working with us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our website, the homeowner knew we were the best company for their project. As soon as they saw our high ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, James, to the home to take a closer look. James arrived and began his detailed walkthrough of the basement. During his walk-through, James found that one wall in particular was struggling the most. To stop the wall from leaking further, James proposed installing WaterGuard and a feedline to connect to the current sump system. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with these recommendations. Next, James passed the plans along to the office to approve the project. Once the project was built and scheduled, the plans were assigned to our crew. The crew traveled to the home and began the project. First, the crew ensured the basement was prepared for the installation. Next, the crew installed WaterGuard along the wall. Then, the crew shifted their focus to installing a feedline across the basement floor. As soon as all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a kind review. American Waterworks is delighted to assist its customers in repairing their leaky basement walls. 

John and Starla H. of Galesburg, ND had water leaking from their walls and had cracks throughout their concrete floor, causing them to feel nervous and unsafe about the living conditions in their home. They went on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks. After looking through the photo galleries of our basement waterproofing and foundation repair installations, they called our office line and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to their home, inspected their problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. John and Starla got all of their questions answered and were confident in Ian's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor with a jackhammer, removing all of the existing concrete. In replacement, our team laid down gravel, river rock, and sand. Next, our team installed our WaterGuard System around the floor perimeter. Our WaterGuard is an underground drainage system that connects to the sump pump, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Then, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and mildew, cover in holes or divots, and gives the room a neat and clean appearance. To complete the job, our team applied new concrete to the entire basement floor, leaving the basement looking much neater than they found it. John and Starla were very happy with the repairs!
