Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Grand Forks, ND, went to their basement following heavy rain and stumbled across a frightening surprise. The homeowner discovered their basement had flooded and the walls were damaged. Concerned about the long-term effects, the homeowner knew they needed to find a solution. The homeowner had a friend who had a similar issue, so they asked them for any suggestions. Their friend recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, James. Once James arrived at the home, he started the detailed investigation of the basement. During his inspection, James determined the basement was struggling in the north and south corner of the basement. James recommended fully waterproofing those two corners of the basement. After deliberating their options, the homeowner agreed and the plans were sent to the office to be finalized. The office approved the plans, which were passed to our Foreman, Emmanuel, and his crew. Once Emmanuel and his crew received the plans, they traveled to the home and began the project. First, Emmanuel and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Next, the crew focused on digging a feedline across the basement to connect the two water systems. Then, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Finally, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was properly waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind. 

A male homeowner had water leaking into his basement and he wanted to get it repaired so he could live in a useable space. He knew of our Design Specialist, Richie, so he discussed his issues with him. Richie shared with him that we provide FREE Estimates, so the homeowner scheduled the inspection for Richie to come out to his home. He carefully inspected the homeowner's problems and proposed the solution of our WaterGuard Drainage System. Our WaterGuard is made to collect water leakage from basement walls, serve as an underground drain, and prevent water and mud clogs. This drainage system is one of the most common waterproofing products that we provide because of its many advantages and benefits to the home. The homeowner got all of their questions answered, so they followed through with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team broke out the entire concrete perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed 136 feet of WaterGuard Drainage System. The installation took one and a half days, and the homeowner couldn't believe the transformation and how many buckets of concrete our crew had to haul!

Andrew in Winthrop, MN had water leaking through his block foundation where the wall meets the floor. He had a working sump pump already in place, but without a drainage system the water had no way to reach the pump. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to develop a solution for Andrew. Our Specialist recommend having our WaterGuard drainage system installed and connected to the sump pump.

Andrew agreed with this solution, so our production crew started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the floor to create a trench for the WaterGuard. Then, they laid the WaterGuard drainage system and filled back the gaps with rock. They connected the drainage system into the existing sump pump and then replaced the concrete. This process only took a day to complete, and now Andrew is enjoying a dry, healthier basement.

A homeowner in Ullen, MN, was cleaning their basement and noticed a musty odor throughout the basement. After taking a closer look, the homeowner discovered leaking water throughout their basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner began looking into "waterproofing services near me," and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our work, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, James. The following week, James arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the basement. During his inspection, James confirmed that several areas were suffering from water damage. To prevent this issue from worsening, James recommended waterproofing the entire basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed. Next, James and the homeowner worked together to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Franklin, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Franklin and his team began by securing WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement wall. Finally, the crew completed the project by installing 8 PowerBraces along the struggling walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is secure from water intrusion.

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson and his team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor, forming a trench. Next, our crew applied 77 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System and secured it around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that prevents mold and humidity from invading the basement and acts as an extra wall protectant. Then, Tremaine and his crew installed 77 feet of our WaterGuard System into the formed trench. Our WaterGuard collects water seepage from basement walls and acts as an underground drain that leads to outside. Lastly, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.
