Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Carrie and Justin R. of Sebeka, MN had water leaking into their basement, causing them to worry about their basement and other kinds of water damage. They heard about American Waterworks and got in contact with our office staff. We set them up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to their home, examined the problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. After a two-hour inspection and a written estimate, Carrie and Justin were comfortable with Ian's design and proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the process by breaking 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. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier which is made to prevent any mold or humidity build-up, cover any holes or divots, and give the space a neat and clean appearance. Lastly, Corey and his crew installed our SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump which is made to keep basements dry for long periods of time. To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Carrie and Justin were very happy with the repairs and had a great experience from start to finish! 

Rita H. in Rockford, IA was tired of dealing with a wet basement after every heavy rain and snow melt. It was starting to cause damage to her home, and she knew she needed to find a permanent solution. She contacted American Waterworks, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to meet with her and propose a unique solution for her home. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew installed 112 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement, and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump in the corner. Water is now properly guided through the WaterGuard to the sump pump, and from there, it is expelled from the home. Rita was happy with the results, and glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her home. 

Chad P. of McIntosh, MN had two problems in his basement that both needed repairs right away. His foundation wall was cracking, and water was leaking into his basement from the cracks. He heard about American Waterworks and called our office line to get some more information about our products. Our staff set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to his house, carefully inspected his problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. Chad was confident in Ian's drawn-out design and presentation, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the solution by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is an interior drain that works efficiently with the sump pump. Our WaterGuard prevents water and mud clogs by staying out of the mud zone and it collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold, mildew, and humidity, it guides the water into the WaterGuard System, and it gives the space a neat and clean appearance. Lastly, Corey and his crew installed seven of our PowerBraces around the wall perimeter, which is a patented wall repair system that is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten the wall over time. To complete the installation, our crew covered the open floor gaps with river rock, applied new concrete over it, and did a final walkthrough with Chad to make sure he was happy with the outcome, which he was!

Water was coming into Gary's basement from the bottom of his steps. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to Gary's home, carefully inspected his basement, and proposed a solution that would work for him and his budget. Gary was confident in Shane's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. Inside the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and prevent mud clogs. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire basement wall perimeter, which is a vapor retarder designed to prevent mold and mildew, keep water out of the basement, and save money on energy costs. Gary was confident in the installation and was happy with the work that was done, so he went ahead with the project.

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.
