Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Geneva, MN, noticed that her current sump pump is backed up with water and was constantly getting clogged. Knowing that her home is not protected during a storm, she decided to quickly look into basement waterproofing and found us. The homeowner then contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Brady S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Brady took a look at the sump pump and performed a few tests to check if it was working. Unfortunately, it remained dysfunctional, and Brady recommended our TripleSafe sump pump. Brady explained that our TripleSafe comes with three levels of protection and is capable of removing heavy loads of water. The primary pump is placed at the lowest level and can remove 2,200 gallons of water. The secondary pump is placed slightly higher and is designed to help in cause the primary pump becomes overwhelmed with heavy waters. Lastly, the third pump is a battery backup in case of power outages. Alongside the sump pump, Brady also recommended IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump lines freeze or become clogged. The homeowner happily agreed to Brady's suggestions, and Brady's design was then sent to our Foreman.

In about two months, our Foreman, Juan P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 1 TripleSafe and 2 IceGuards. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

There's no greater solution to a wet basement than a WaterGuard basement waterproofing system combined with a CleanSpace vapor barrier encapsulation system as you will see in this before and after from another satisfied customer in Kenyon, MN.  

One of the key ingredients in this project was the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting in through their foundation. The encapsulation system will now guide water leaking in through the foundation walls and redirect it to their Waterguard perimeter floor drainage system and ultimately drain into the SuperSump sump pump.

Daniel Y. of Hammond, WI had his windows blocked and wanted to provide more lighting in his basement with heavy-duty windows. Once he found out American Waterworks installs windows, he gave us a call for a Free Estimate to check out the property. We sent out our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, to inspect the basement to determine which window would work best. After all of Daniel's questions were answered and told Chad he wanted three windows, he went ahead with the project and scheduled the installation date. 

Our foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew began the installation by digging the wall pavement out in three spots. They measured all of the edges and sides to make sure that our EverLast Basement Windows would fit properly. Then, they trimmed off any leftover rigid edges to make the finishing touch nice and smooth. Our EverLast Basement Windows are double-paned, energy-efficient, and provide an elegant look to a refurbished basement! Daniel was very satisfied with the outcome and is looking forward to having American Waterworks be his go-to for future projects! 

Kathy W. of River Falls, WI had water leaking from her windows into her basement, and she wanted to get it fixed up before she began the moving stage. A realtor referred American Waterworks to her for our basement waterproofing repair products. She called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac Cole. Mac went to her home, inspected her basement and windows, and drew out a detailed plan that Kathy could understand. She was confident in Mac's proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the process by cutting out the pre-existing window and replacing it with our EverLast Basement Window. These special windows are energy-efficient, vinyl-framed, and double-paneled and are made to replace outdated wood-framed windows. Next, our crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. Lastly, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold or humidity build-up and cover any holes or divots in the wall. To complete the project, Juan and his crew covered the open gaps with rock, flattened them out, and replaced the concrete. Kathy was and still is a satisfied customer! 

Teri and Joel of River Falls, WI had water leaking into their basement and from one of their foundation walls. They did some research online and came across American Waterworks. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to their home, examined their basement, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. Teri and Joel were confident in the design, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production team began the project by taking down the exterior wall, so only the interior foundation wall was present. The reason behind this was because the exterior wall was capturing moisture and causing water condensation problems. Next, our team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to collect water seepage from basement walls and serve as an underground drainage system. To complete the project, Kiko and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete. Teri and Joel were both satisfied and grateful we were able to help them!
