Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

 A homeowner in Greene, IA, had a hunch to check their basement following a heavy thunderstorm. Once they went downstairs, their worries were confirmed. The homeowner discovered several wet walls throughout the basement. Knowing they needed to solve the issue immediately, the homeowner began looking into "Iowa basement repair". Only one company caught their eye, American Waterworks, so they took a closer look into our company and what we offer. The homeowner was impressed with our services and products, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Nate. As soon as Nate arrived, he began inspecting the struggling basement and concrete. During his investigation, Nate discovered one wall was the main issue. Nate recommended waterproofing the eastern corner of the basement. The homeowner agreed with Nate's suggestions, so he passed the plans along to the office to be approved. After the office approved, they were directed to our Foreman, Jose, and his crew. Once they arrived at the home, Jose and his crew began the project by installing WaterGuard in the eastern corner of the basement. Next, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. Next, the crew installed and placed the Aprilaire E100 where the old dehumidifier was located. Finally, the crew shifted their focus outside and attached an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted to know their basement was properly waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement was fully waterproofed. 

Two homeowners in Orchard, IA had water present in their basement, causing them to worry about the value of their home. Our production team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier to repair the issues. Our WaterGuard is a special underground drain that stops water and mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. It works very efficiently with the sump pump to pump water out of the home. Our CleanSpace is known for its ability to prevent mud and humidity growth, act as an extra wall protectant, and reduce the costs of energy bills.

The homeowners were very satisfied with the results and had a great experience from start to finish! Is water present in your basement? Look no further and call American Waterworks today to schedule your FREE estimate! 

A homeowner in Chippewa Falls, WI was cleaning his basement when he noticed one of the wall's base panels was damp. He began to check the other walls and became concerned when he found the same issue throughout the whole basement. He decided not wait and let the issue continue growing worse and immediately began searching for solutions. The homeowner came across the American Waterworks and was interested in signing up for one of our FREE estimate appointments. We decided to send over Design Specialist Daniel Reinke to take a look at the basement and give his recommendations. Daniel explained that with this kind of issue, the basement needed to be fully waterproofed with the installation of our WaterGuard system around the basement perimeter. He explained that our WaterGuard is the premier choice for below-floor drains, as it stays on top of the footing and out of the "mud zone" where other drains of it's kind normally clog. The homeowner was pleased that there was a solution and agreed to the recommendations. When it was time for the installations, Foreman Lane Schlobohm crew arrived at the home, ready to complete the project. Lane and his crew successfully installed the WaterGuard and the homeowner was beyond happy to have a clean water-free basement back.

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the wall. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home.
