Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Easton, MN, got in contact with us when she noticed that her walls were leaking after a heavy rainstorm. The homeowner was afraid that the leaky walls were a symptom of a bigger problem. After seeing our waterproofing ads on TV, she decided to give us a call to see if we could help. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the home to see how serious the issue was. 

Upon completion of the inspection, Ryan reassured the homeowner that while the issue was serious, American Waterworks had the solutions and techniques to ensure that no more unwanted water would find it's way into her space. He explained that leaky walls can be combated with two of our products, WaterGuard and CleanSpace. Ryan elaborated, explaining that the CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly to the basement walls. Its purpose is to direct any water entering through the walls down, along the barrier, and into the WaterGuard, a below-floor drain that works to collect water entering from the ground or the walls, directing it to the proper disposal site and keeping it off the floor. The homeowner agreed and the work was scheduled to be completed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jose, and his team ended up installing 96 ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and another 96 ft of CleanSpace. Now that the job is complete, our customer is happy to know she no longer needs to worry about her basemen in times of heavy rain!

Marcus C. of Bismarck,  ND had water coming into his basement through his wood foundation. He heard about American Waterworks, so he got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our  Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to Marcus's home, carefully inspected his problems, and proposed a solution that would repair his basement problems. He was confident in Ian's plan of our half wall demolition, Foamax Half Wall Panels, and our WaterGuard Below-Drain System, so he signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production crew began the process by performing a half wall demolition around the wall perimeter and installing our Foamax Half Wall Panels. Our Foamax is an advanced foam insulation that prevents condensation and provides protection from moisture. Next, our team broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGaurd Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is an interior drainage system that prevents water and mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. To complete the project, Ryan and his team filled the open-floor gaps with small rocks and applied new concrete over them. Marcus was thrilled with the work and had a remarkable experience with our team!

Charlie H. of East Grand Forks, MN had water seeping through the cracks of his basement, making him feel nervous about his home repair needs. He went on the American Waterworks website and contacted our staff through our webchat. We set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson.

Our Foreman, Brian Colliton, and his production crew started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, its easy-to-access service ports, and its ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. To complete the WaterGuard project, Brian and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Are you having water problems in your basement?

A homeowner in Brownton, MN, grew very concerned after they discovered standing water and discoloration on their foundation walls. Almost immediately the homeowner began looking for a solution. After doing an online search, the homeowner found our website. Our high reviews and ratings had caught their eye, so they did a deep dive into the waterproofing solutions that we offer. Impressed with our excellent work, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate on our website. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan, to the home to begin the in-depth analysis of the basement. Once Ryan completed the estimate, he determined that the basement required waterproofing and foundation stabilization. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's recommendations and production commenced. Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his crew were assigned to complete the combination project. Following their arrival, Jeromy and his crew began making sure the basement was ready for the installation. The crew began by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew installed and attached the SuperSump+ to the new WaterGuard system. Next, the crew shifted their focus to replacing the wood posts with SmartJacks. After all the basement products were installed, the crew attached the IceGuard to the outside discharge line. The crew put the basement back in order and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was dry and secure. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind.

Our Foreman and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter forming a trench. Our team installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which prevents water clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and acts as an underground drain. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent humidity and mold build-up, give the basement a neat and clean appearance, and cover any big holes or divots. Lastly, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe works together with the WaterGuard to pump water out of the basement efficiently and effectively. It is the best sump pump that we provide for homeowners and solves all three water problems in one system. To complete the project, our Foreman and his crew covered the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. The homeowner was happy with the outcome and was grateful we were able to help her at her time of need!
