Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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. 

A homeowner in Fairmont, MN, was distressed when they discovered water in their basement. Frantic to stop further water from entering, the homeowner looked up the closest waterproofing company in the area. One of the top results was us, American Waterworks, and the homeowner searched to see if we could come to the home as soon as possible. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. As soon as we could, we sent one our of Design Specialists, Dylan, to perform the estimate. After Dylan completed the detailed estimate, he determined that the basement needed to be fully waterproofed. Not wanting this issue to become reoccurring, the homeowners agreed. The plans were sent to the assigned crew and job preparations began.  Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the project. First, the crew started by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. After the WaterGuard was properly placed, the crew dug a line across the basement to insert the feedline. Then, the crew removed the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. On the outside of the home, an IceGuard was attached to the outside discharge line. Finally, the crew installed CleanSpace on all the basement walls. The crew cleaned up any excess water and materials. The homeowners were beyond thankful to know their basement was fully waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to make another homeowner's basement dry again. 

A business owner from Fairmont, MN, was facing a serious issue with his basement. Whenever it rained, he could see water entering the space through holes in the wall, slowly running down the wall and leaving him with a headache. He was unsure of who to turn to for this issue, so he began to look for Fairmont, MN basement repairs. When he found our website, he found that he was impressed with other work we had done in our area, so he signed up for one of our FREE estimates. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, was headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived, he got right to work assessing the space. Upon completion, he was ready to make his recommendations for the next steps. First, Ryan recommended our TrenchDrain system, explaining that the TrenchDrain resembles half of a basement drainage pipe, with a grated opening fitted snugly on top. The grate is flush or slightly below the floor, eliminating any tripping hazard. It is uniquely designed to span doorways, hatchway entrances, and similar entryway doors. Any water passing over the drain is collected through the openings and redirected to your sump pump. Ryan had noted that the space lacked a sump pump, so he recommended our SuperSump plus system, an economical, yet effective, choice for ridding a basement of unwanted water. The homeowner agreed and scheduled the job for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Chris N, led his team through the successful installation of 1 SuperSump plus, and 12 ft of TrenchDrain. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his basement is protected from unwanted water!
