Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Mankato, MN, was growing increasingly frustrated with her outdated sump pump. Each time it rained, the sump pump had trouble keeping up with the amount of water entering the home, which led to water overflowing the sump, leaving excess water to stand on the basement floor. The homeowner was concerned about what this could mean for her basement, so she began to look for interior waterproofing MN. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, Nate B, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Nate concluded his inspection of the basement, he recommended that the homeowner upgrade her old sump pump. Nate wanted to specifically use our SuperSump sump pump. Nate explained that the SuperSump is an effective and more economical solution to keep the basement dry. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner was thrilled that Nate had provided a fix for her basement and scheduled the installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo, and his team were able to place the SuperSump without any issues. Now our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that her sump pump was now equipped to handle large influxes of water.

A homeowner in Mankato, MN, discovered their sump pump was not running as efficiently as it had been prior. Worried this could turn led to a major issue down the road, the homeowner began looking into "basement sump pump with battery backup". One of the first companies to populate was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Dylan. During his detailed inspection, Dylan confirmed the sump pump was out of date. Additionally, Dylan recommended installing a perimeter drain system along the basement walls. The homeowner agreed, and the plans were assigned to our Foreman, Lane, and his crew. On the installation date, Lane and his crew arrived at the home and began by installing WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump and replacing it with the TripleSafe. Once 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 largest investment is protected. 

A homeowner in Mankato, MN, noticed their basement walls were leaking towards the bottom of the wall. Worried this was a sign of a larger issue, the homeowner began looking into "leaky basement wall repair near me". The first company to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan, to the home to take a closer look. Dylan confirmed that water was weeping from the walls. To prevent this issue from worsening, Dylan recommended installing WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. The homeowner agreed, and they worked with Dylan to find the best installation date. Once the installation date arrived, we sent Diego, one of our Foremen, to install the system. First, Diego and his crew made sure the space was ready for installation. Then, the crew installed the line of WaterGuard along the south wall and connected it to the current sump pump system. The crew completed the installation, and the homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their basement was secure. American Waterworks is delighted to provide its homeowners with peace of mind. 

Homeowners James and Rachel D. of Mankato, MN had water leaking through the cracks of their foundation walls, causing them to worry about water damage and the stability of their home. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared. Jared went to James and Rachel's house, inspected their problems, and designed a solution that worked for them and their budget. They were confident in Jared's proposal and were comfortable with our products and their warranties, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, Juan and his crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent mold and humidity and serves as an extra wall protectant while saving money on energy bills. Lastly, our team dug holes outside of the home beyond the foundation and inserted a long, metal rod from the inside foundation to each hole outside of the home. On the ends of the rod in the soil, our team installed an anchor plate, which holds the rod in place in the soil. Inside the basement, our team installed a GeoLock Channel Anchor on each rod to stabilize the wall. The combination of our production crew, the anchor plates, rods, and wall anchors work together to straighten the wall back into its original position. To complete the installation, our crew filled the open floor gaps with pea gravel and river rock and applied new concrete over them. 

James and Rachel had a great experience with our team and their peace of mind is restored!
