Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Chris P. in Grafton, IA had an old sump pump and a Beaver System in his home, but he still had water leaking through the foundation into his finished basement. Unfortunately, the water had caused damaged to his drywall and flooring. He contacted American Waterworks and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, to his home to provide a permanent solution. He approved of the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew removed the damaged portion of the drywall and then removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to create a trench for our WaterGuard drainage system. They laid the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, so the water would be properly guided to our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. Then, they filled back the gaps around the WaterGuard with rock and replaced the concrete. They installed our EverLast half-wall restoration system, which includes metal studs and an inorganic, mold-resistant wall product that replaces the bottom 32" of the drywall. This is a permanent solution for water-damaged dry wall! Chris was pleased with the results and glad he can now enjoy a clean, healthy basement! 

Chris P.'s finished basement walls were wet, damaged and moldy due to water failure and moisture problems. He called American Waterworks to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. After a thorough diagnosis, Chris was comfortable with Dylan's proposal so he set up an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team installed 156 feet of our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain and collects basement wall leaks. Next, our team installed 110 feet of our 32" tall EverLast Half-Wall Restoration, which is an inorganic, mold-resistant wall product that replaces the bottom 32 inches of a home's drywall and will protect any basement from flooding. Chris was ecstatic and grateful we were able to help him with his home repair needs!

A homeowner in Cologne, MN, found that water was seeping between the cracks of their blocks in the basement. Concerned by this finding, the homeowner searched for the best waterproofing company in their area. After hearing positive reviews from their neighbors, the homeowner decided to sign up for American Waterworks' FREE estimate. After finalizing the appointment, one of our Design Specialists, Eric, traveled to the home to inspect the possible damages. After his detailed investigation, Eric alerted the homeowners that their basement needed proper waterproofing. Eric provided a recommended solution to the homeowners to solve their water issues. Knowing this would be a long-term solution, the homeowners agreed to Eric's recommendations. 

Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew traveled to the home and began installing the recommended waterproofing products. First, the crew installed the WaterGuard around the majority of the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, a feedline was installed across the basement floors. Next, the crew installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump and IceGuard to tie into the existing system. The crew installed all the waterproofing products and left the basement nice and dry. The homeowners were thankful they had a proper waterproofing system installed in their basement. American Waterworks is pleased to assist another valued customer.

A homeowner from Glenville, MN, was growing frustrated with his damp basement. It had been hot and humid for years, and in the interest of one day selling the property, the homeowner decided to begin the search for a basement waterproofing company in Glenville, MN. When he found our website, he decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brady, headed out to the home. 

Once Brady concluded his inspection, he informed the homeowner that his professional recommendation would be to install our Basement to Beautiful Insulated Wall Panels. Brady explained that unfinished basements are notorious for lacking proper insulation, leading to cold floors, humid basements, and inefficient homes. Basement To Beautiful™ Basement Wall Panels are the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient basement. Designed with the unique, advanced SilverGlo™ graphite-infused foam insulation, this insulation provides 24% more energy savings than conventional foam products. At 2 ½" thick and R-13 insulation, Basement To Beautiful™ panels create a warm, protective blanket around your basement that will never rot or support mold growth. The homeowner agreed with Brady's recommendations, and the job was scheduled for a few months later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, and his team ended up installing 79 ft of our Basement to Beautiful panels. Now, our customer can enjoy his home, knowing it's functioning efficiently! 

Ken L. in Glenville, MN was concerned about the air quality in their basement. He had their basement tested for mold by another contractor and they confirmed that they did in fact have mold. They removed the mold and recommended that he look into having his basement waterproofed. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to their home to inspect his basement and design the right solution specific to their waterproofing needs. Ken was pleased with our thorough plan to waterproof their basement, so he chose to move forward with the installation.

Our production crew removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor and drilled small holes through the wall which released the water that was built up. They laid the WaterGuard drainage system and installed the TripleSafe sump pump, which is our most reliable sump pump system. The WaterGuard now properly guides water to the sump pump and the water is then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Lastly, they installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system which protects the basement from humidity and future mold growth. They replaced the concrete and the project was complete! Ken’s basement has been completely transformed to a dry, healthier space, and his peace of mind has been restored.
