Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Mark S. in Clear Lake, IA had an old, failing sump pump that was unable to keep up with the water seeping into his home. He was concerned about the air quality of his home, and he knew that he needed to address the problem. As a previous satisfied customer, Mark knew that American Waterworks was more than capable of the job. 

Our production crew installed our SuperSump sump pump and our SaniDry dehumidifier. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour out of the basement. The SaniDry has a powerful blowing motor that circulates dry air throughout the space, aggressively drying out the basement and controlling humidity. Mark was happy with the process, and glad his basement is now a dry and healthy space. 

Judy P. of Clear Lake, IA had water leaking through the cracked walls of her basement, making her question the stability of her home. After doing some research online, she came across American Waterworks waterproofing and foundation repair products. She called our office and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to her home, inspected the problem, and came up with a solution. Judy was comfortable with Ryan's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his production crew began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement, forming a trench. Next, our team applied 102 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold, mildew, and humidity build-up, and gives the room a clean and bright appearance. Then, our crew installed 11 of our foundation repair PowerBraces around the wall perimeter, which are made to stabilize basement walls and straighten them out over time. Lastly, our crew installed 102 feet of our WaterGuard System in the formed trench. Our WaterGuard acts as an underground drain and transports water to the sump pump. To complete the installation, Jeromy and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Judy had a remarkable experience from start to finish and was grateful we were able to assist her and her home repair needs! 

Dean P. of Clear Lake, IA had water leaking into the corner of his basement due to heavy rains. It had been happening for quite some time so he decided to do something about it. He got in contact with our company and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to his home, looked at the issue, and proposed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and our CleanSpace Wall System. Dean was confident in Ryan's proposal so he scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production crew began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain which serves as a drainage system, collects water leaks from basement walls, and has easily accessible service ports when the time comes for annual maintenance. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System, which prevents mold and humidity, covers large holes and divots, and gives the basement a clean appearance. To complete the project, our team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Dean was very satisfied with the work that was done!

A homeowner from Glencoe, MN, had been suffering from a damp basement for some time. She no longer wanted to deal with the problem and decided to find a basement waterproofing company near Glencoe, MN. Through extensive internet searches, the homeowner quickly found our website and signed up for her FREE estimate. 

A few weeks later, Eric H, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. When Eric finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Eric recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the walls of the basement, functioning to direct water entering through the wall, downward, and into a perimeter drain, our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, giving the water entering down from the CleanSpace, and coming up from the floor, a channel to flow freely to a pre-installed sump system. The homeowner was thrilled with Eric's explanation and solution and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Jesus C, and his crew were out at the home. At the end of the project, our team effortlessly installed 136 sqft of CleanSpace, and 136 sqft of WaterGuard. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her basement is properly defended against unwanted water! 

A homeowner in Alden, MN was in his basement space when he noticed something off at the base of the walls. Upon investigation, he found some of the floor areas to be slightly damp and had already faced water damage. He knew that finding a solution sooner than later would be the best decision for his basement, and he began his searching. He looked for Minnesota basement waterproofing companies and found the American Waterworks website. The homeowner was interested in our FREE estimate appointments and decided to sign up for his own to learn more about our services. When one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, arrived at the home, he carried out an analysis of the basement and took note of where the water had entered the basement. He informed the homeowner that waterproofing the basement would be the best way to stop current incoming water and prevent future water problems. The homeowner agreed to the plans and was later greeted by our Foreman, Lane Schlobohm, and his crew. The crew installed our WaterGuard system around the perimeter of the basement and placed CleanSpace wall vapor barrier over the walls to waterproof the space. The homeowner felt good about his decision to contact us and was happy with the final results.
