Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

An Albert Lea, MN, homeowner knew his sump system was due for an upgrade. The system would often run, even when excess wasn't present, and it was beginning to make unusual sounds. The homeowner turned to the internet to search for 'sump pump replacement near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. He set up his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brian R, was headed out to the home.

When Brian arrived, he got right to work assessing the old system. When he completed his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Brian stated that the homeowner was right to be concerned about the system, adding that it was due for an upgrade. Brian recommended our SuperSump sump pump. An effective and economical solution to basement water. It's engineered to help keep he basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per house at a 9-foot head out of your basement. Brian then went on to recommend our UltraSump battery backup, an addition that keeps the system functioning even during the loss of power. The battery backup can pump out 11,500 gallons or more in a single charge. The homeowner liked the sound of Brian's plan, and the two worked together to find a date for the installation. 

A month later, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team successfully installed the SuperSump in the basement of the home. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing his basement is well protected! 

A homeowner in Albert Lea, MN, had noticed a white chalky residue on their basement walls and was concerned about their basement. They began looking into it and learned it is efflorescence and that they might be facing a wet basement. The homeowner then contacted us and scheduled their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan K., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Ryan noticed signs of water leaks, mold growth, and efflorescence. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Ryan recommended installing WaterGuard, our below-the-floor drainage system, CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier, SuperSump+, our reliable sump pump system, IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line, and Aprilaire, our strong dehumidifier. The homeowner happily agreed to the recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Lane S., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 30ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace, 1 SuperSump+, 1 IceGuard, and 1 Aprilaire. After the successful installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Lori K. in Albert Lea, MN had an older home, and she was concerned about the stability of the foundation and the water leaking into her basement. She found American Waterworks in the phone book and gave us a call. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to meet with Lori, evaluate the situation, and propose the best solution. Lori was impressed with Ryan’s presentation, and she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team were successfully able to stabilize Lori’s foundation with the installation of 10 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors around the deteriorating foundation. They began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installing 100 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed the SuperSump sump pump with a battery backup and the CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to further protect the space from mold and moisture. Lastly, they installed the SaniDry dehumidifier to take care of any humidity and cleaned up their work area. Lori was pleased with the entire process and is glad she made the investment to protect her home!

Dylan went to Maryjane's house, carefully inspected her basement, and drew up a solution that would fit her needs. Maryjane was confident in the solution so she went ahead with the project. 

Our North Dakota Production Manager, Corey, and his crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system that prevents mud clogs and collects water from basement walls. Maryjane was happy with the work and had a great experience!

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.
