Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Julie P. of Moorhead, MN had a small water leak underneath her basement stairs. It would only occur during heavy rainstorms. She worked with American Waterworks for the repairs, and her Design Specialist was Ian Schultz. Ian examined the water leak and determined the solution of our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Julie was confident in the proposal, so she went ahead with the project and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team broke out the concrete where the water leak was and installed our WaterGuard, which collects water from basement walls and serves as an underground drain to the sump pump. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace which prevents mold and humidity and serves as a protective blanket. To complete the work, our crew filled the open-floor gap with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete over it, ensuring the space was neater and cleaner than when they found it.

A homeowner was in their basement when they discovered water damage and immediately panicked. Knowing the winter months were approaching, the homeowners wanted to get ahead of any further damage. While comparing different basement waterproofing services, the homeowner determined American Waterworks was the best fit. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate with Design Specialist, Ian, and the waterproofing began. Ian suggested that WaterGuard be installed around the perimeter of the leaking room, then CleanSpace be placed on the walls, and finally, a new sump pump be installed. After presenting the plan, the homeowners agreed and the project began. Before the job, the homeowner was asked to remove the shelves around the construction area. Our crew drove out to the property and started by creating channels around the full perimeter of the home. Next, the crew removed the old sump pump system and installed the SuperSump+ in the home. Then the crew installed the CleanSpace System on top of the exposed wall. The crew completed the full waterproofing of the basement. The homeowner was thankful their basement was saved and American Waterwork was pleased to help another customer.

After a heavy rainstorm, a homeowner in Morton, MN, noticed signs of water leakage underneath their egress window. Concerned by this discovery, they knew they needed a professional out there as soon as possible. Unsure of who to choose for this job, the homeowner decided to look at different referral sites to find the best company to fit their job. After searching through many referral sites, the homeowner came across our business page. The homeowner saw that we offer the multiple services they are looking for, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. The homeowner waited for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Shane, at their home. Soon after Shane arrived, he began evaluating the status of the basement. Shane discovered that the basement required proper waterproofing and permanent stabilization. Shane proposed a plan that would fully waterproof the basement and stabilize the foundation walls. The homeowner knew they wanted the entire job done, so they went agreed with Shane's proposal. The plans were sent to the assigned crew and production commenced. When the crew arrived, they began by taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe sump pump. Then, they installed CleanSpace on a section of the west and most of the entire north foundation wall. Next, the crew installed 10 GeoLock anchors on the west and north foundation walls. To finish up the installation, the crew attached an IceGuard to the outside discharge line. The crew cleaned up their site and left the home. The homeowners were relieved to know their basement was safe and secure. American Waterworks is happy to give its customers peace of mind in their homes. 

Rhonda from Mayville, MN got in contact with us when she began to notice that her basement was becoming humid. Along with the feeling of dampness in the space, she noticed a musty smell and mold beginning to form. She wanted to know what could be done, so she called our office and we set her up with our FREE estimate. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property to see what could be done. Once he finished his walkthrough, he was able to recommend our AprilAire dehumidifier to address the moisture. He explained that this energy-efficient option creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days' time when set to 50% RH. Rhonda agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Justice, installed the dehumidifier with no issues. Once the job was complete, Rhonda was happy to know that she no longer had to worry about the humidity in her space! 

A homeowner in Larimore, ND, noticed the water was leaking near the stairs and where the walls meet. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed professional assistance. After doing a quick online search, the homeowner came across our website. The homeowner looked closer at our company and knew we were the best fit for them. Once they saw we offer FREE estimates, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their appointment. The details were finalized and one of our Design Specialists, Kole, was sent to perform the inspection. Kole arrived at the home and the homeowner directed him to the problem area. After Kole took a closer look, he noticed the water was coming from the corner of the basement. Kole told the homeowner where the water was coming from and suggested the corner be fully waterproofed. After some deliberation, the homeowner agreed with Kole's suggestion, and production preparations began. The plans were sent to the office and then to our Foreman, Franklin, and his crew. Franklin and his crew drove to the home to begin the waterproofing project. Once they arrived, they started by digging and placing the WaterGuard, our below-floor drain system. Once the WaterGuard was secured into place, the crew installed CleanSpace on the basement walls. Next, the crew dug and installed the new SuperSump+. The crew completed the installation and then cleaned up their materials. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was properly waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind.
