Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Raquel in Bird Island, MN had water seeping through her block foundation in her basement. She started researching professional waterproofing contractors and found American Waterworks’ website. She was impressed with the projects we had completed and wanted to learn more about our waterproofing system, so she contacted us for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to her home to inspect her basement and provide her with a solution.

Raquel was impressed with our waterproofing system, so she decided to move forward with the project. Our production crew started the installation by removing the perimeter of the concrete floor to create a trench for the WaterGuard drainage system. They installed the SuperSump sump pump in the corner of the basement and then laid the drainage system in the trench. The WaterGuard connects to the sump pump so water can properly exit the home. The installation only took a day to complete and she was pleased with the result. She is glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her basement!

Over time a homeowner in Hendrum, MN, noticed their walls began to separate and bend. Knowing the project could not be held off anymore, the homeowner looked for a company to help the situation. Following a referral from a neighbor, the homeowners signed up for their FREE estimate. American Waterworks sent out our Design Specialist, Kole, to evaluate the situation. Kole recommended that the walls be stabilized with PowerBraces, WaterGuard, and a new sump pump be installed, and CleanSpace be set in place. Knowing the severity of their situation, the homeowners agreed and construction began.  Foreman, Dylan, and his crew began the project by excavating the walls and straightening the bowing walls immediately. Due to the ducting on the east and west walls, the crew installed C-Channel anchors. On the north and south walls, the crew put in place nine PowerBraces. The crew then moved their focus to installing the WaterGuards on the perimeter of the basement. Additionally, the crew replaced the old sump pump with the TripleSafe sump pump and tied it to the new water system. Following the waterproofing, the crew installed the CleanSpace Wall System on the newly straightened and stabilized basement walls. The homeowner was ecstatic that their family home had been saved and was safe. American Waterworks is glad to provide another family peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Willmar, MN, noticed their basement was suffering from water intrusion. Concerned that this could lead to more serious issues, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Nick. A few days later, Nick traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Nick confirmed water was seeping through at the bottom of the basement walls. To stop this issue from worsening, Nick recommended securing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Nick to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Kiko and his crew secured WaterGuard along the basement walls. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. As soon as both products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew.

A homeowner in Willmar, MN had water seeping into their basement, causing their entire space to be wet. They called American Waterworks and requested a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Chad, went to the homeowner's house, carefully inspected their basement, and proposed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system that collects water seepage from basement walls and guides the water to the sump pump, which then gets discharged out of the home. 

Our Foreman, Raul B., and his crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard, covered it with river rock to allow water flow, and applied a new layer of concrete over it to ensure the basement was neat and clean. The homeowner gave our crew a 10/10 and said they were very polite and clean!

Terry and Lori in Madelia, MN were aware of the age of their waterproofing system in their home. They were concerned that it needed some attention and that the basement walls might need a little help. They learned that we are the leading contractor for waterproofing in the region and called us for a FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to evaluate their home and propose a solution. They approved of the recommendation and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew installed 108 feet of WaterGuard along the perimeter of his basement floor, which guides water to the sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water from the home through the discharge line to the outside, keeping the basement dry. Then, the crew installed our BrightWall Rigid Basement Wall System. BrightWall is a waterproof, rigid plastic paneling for unfished basement walls. It keeps humidityand water vapor from passing through the foundation walls and into the basement. Any water seepage through the walls is directed into the drainage system, and it transforms the basement into a bright space!
