Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Ron, from Eagle Bend, MN, was looking for some solutions for his late father's cabin space. The basement was experiencing water intrusion, and so he and his brother decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property. 

Following a thorough inspection, Kole gave his recommendations to Ron, suggesting that they invest in our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. 

Ron agreed, and our crew got to work.

First, Ou Foreman, Arturo, and his crew began implementing our WaterGuard System, which 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. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. 

The drainage system now properly guides water to the Super Sump Plus pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. 

Finally, the team proceeded to install the CleanSpace wall System around the perimeter of the basement. Our CleanSpace Wall System is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners so it never falls.

After all was said and done, Ron was very glad he and his brother made the decision to call American Waterworks and had their peace of mind restored.

Following a heavy rainstorm, the homeowner went to their basement and discovered their carpet was wet. Worried this could cause lasting damage, the homeowners knew they needed to find a solution and fast. After comparing several companies, the homeowner's attention was caught by one, American Waterworks. The homeowner took a closer look at our waterproofing services and was impressed with our excellent ratings. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Brady, one of our Design Specialists. Once Brady arrived at the home, he began his detailed walk-through of the home. Brady discovered that the sump pump was not working properly, leading to the saturation of the floor. After Brady wrapped up the estimate, he was able to provide the homeowner with a solution. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with Brady's recommendations. Once he received the stamp of approval, the plans were sent to our Logistics team to build the project. Next, the built project was sent to our Foreman, Jeremiah, and his crew to begin the project. First, Jeremiah and his crew began by installing WaterGuard along the struggling wall. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew took the old sump pump out and replaced it with the TripleSafe. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowner with a properly working sump pump.

To waterproof the basement, Dylan recommended WaterGuard, our interior perimeter drainage system that directs water leaks to the sump system, Foamax, our wall insulator that prevents the buildup of moisture, TripleSafe, our extremely reliable sump system with three levels of protection, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge system that allows water to escape from the sump pump during freezing temperatures to prevent sump burnout.
