Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Plymouth, IA, noticed water leaking into his basement and was concerned it would lead to long-term damage to his home. Unsure of the cause of the issue, he began looking for basement waterproofing contractors in the area and found us. The homeowner then contacted our Appointment Center to schedule his FREE basement waterproofing estimate.

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan M., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Ryan noticed that the puddles of water were around the perimeter of the basement. He explained to the homeowner that a failed footing drain could be the issue why the homeowner is facing a leaking basement. When a footing drain fails and becomes clogged, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation and enters through the footing and the wall, beneath the footing, or cracks on the walls. To effectively fix this issue, Ryan recommended WaterGuard, our perimeter grain system that collects water and sends it to the sump pump, TripleSafe, our elite sump pump system that comes with 3 pumps in one unit, IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump pipes freeze, and CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls. After looking over Ryan's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to his recommendations and decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 144ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace, 1 TripleSafe, and 2 IceGuard. Once they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

In Nora Springs, IA a homeowner was unhappy with the state of her basement. She had recently been down in the space which was when she noticed some water pooled up on the floor. Not wanting the problem to get worse and to prevent further damage, she decided to look into getting a quality waterproofing system installed. Her neighbor had used American Waterwork's services in the past and they had done an effective job, so she figured they would also be able to help her basement space. She called our office and set up a FREE estimate appointment with one of our Design Specialists, Brady Swenson. Brady arrived at the home and carried out an inspection of the basement area and prepared his recommendations. The homeowner was pleased with the plans and scheduled a date for the products to be installed. When Foreman Raul Barroso and his crew arrived at the site to install the WaterGuard perimeter drain system, they began by jackhammering channels along the floor and filling it with drainage stone. They then placed the WaterGuard system on top followed by more clean stone and a layer of concrete to hold everything in place. The homeowner was so happy with the results and to have a water-free basement space again.

After seeing our amazing ratings, the homeowner knew we were the best option for them and their home. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Brian, to take a closer look. Brian arrived at the home, introduced himself to the homeowner, and began his thorough investigation of the foundation. During his inspection, Brian confirmed the basement was suffering from water intrusion and needed to be fully waterproofed. Brian presented his proposal to the homeowner and they agreed with his suggestions. Next, Brian passed the plans along to the office, so the project could be built. After the project was built, Raul and his crew traveled to the home to begin the waterproofing installation. First, Raul and his crew began by installing WaterGuard around the entire perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew dug a feedline across the basement floor. Next, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. After the sump pump was replaced, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home.
