Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Park Rapids, MN had water leaking into their unfinished basement. They were unable to go about their renovations with this problem. They got in contact with our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with one of our Design Specialists. He went to their home, inspected their basement, and drew out a solution. The homeowners were confident in our proposal of our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, so they signed our contract. 

Our Foreman, Corey, and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is the most popular interior drainage system because of its easily accessible service ports, its ability to collect water seepage from basement walls, and its prevention from water clogs. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Our CleanSpace is designed to prevent mold and humidity from invading the basement, saves money on energy costs, and gives the basement a warm and bright appearance. To complete the installation, Corey and his crew filled the floor gaps with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete. The homeowners were satisfied and could not believe the transformation!

Jeff S. wanted an Egress Window and RockWell Window Well installed at his cabin in Park Rapids, MN. He saw an American Waterworks advertisement on HomeAdvisor, so he requested a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Kole. Kole went to Jeff's house, inspected his window space, and provided a quote for the project. Jeff was confident in the proposal, so he went ahead with the process.

Our Co-Foreman, Zach, and his crew member, Dillan, installed broke out the pre-existing window and replaced it with our Egress Window to provide more light, fresh air, and a safe exit out of the cabin. Next, our team installed our RockWell Egress Window Well, which allows for the safe exit, it looks like stone landscaping, and it's a one-piece construction that doesn't rot or deteriorate. Jeff was happy with the work and is looking forward to the weekend visits to his cabin!

Ruth O. in Mound, MN was suffering from water leaking in to her basement. She had been dealing with the problem for quite some time now and was tired of dealing with it. After researching local waterproofing company’s, she got in touch with the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to her home to provide her with a solution and a free estimate. Chad worked with Ruth to develop the right waterproofing plan for her and her home. She liked the proposal that Chad developed, so she scheduled a date for our production team to install the waterproofing system.  

Our crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the stairs, where the water was leaking in. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump and a discharge line to the outside of the home. The water is now properly guided through the drainage system to the sump pump. Then, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and the water is expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Ruth now has peace of mind that her basement will remain dry and that she chose the right solution.

Tom, from Mound, MN, gave us a call when he began to notice water entering the basement of his home. Tom knew that if he left the problem unresolved then he would run the risk of mold or mildew accumulating in the space. When Tom called, he used his FREE estimate, which entitled him to a thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists from our waterproofing and foundation division. Once the walk-through was over, our Design Specialist made a few recommendations as to how we could best fix Tom's situation. First, he recommended that we use our CleanSpace basement wall vapor barrier. He explained to Tom that this 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier is used to prevent leaks and mold growth in any basement, by trapping any moisture behind the plastic barrier. Going hand-in-hand with this product, he also recommended our WaterGuard draining system. Our Design Specialist told Tom that this drainage system could be installed below the floor, but above the foundation footing of the home, and works to collect any excess water trapped behind the CleanSpace or entering through cracks in the floor, and directs said water to the appropriate place, like a sump pump. Tom agreed with the recommendations made and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew ended up installing 81ft of our CleanSpace and another 81ft of our WaterGuard drainage system. 

When the project was complete, Tom was happy to know his basement waterproofing issues were in the past!

June M. of Karlstad, MN had water leaking through the floor joints of her basement, causing her to worry about flooding and other water damages. One of her peers referred American Waterworks so she called our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to his home, inspected his basement, and came up with a well-designed solution that worked for June and her home repair needs. June got all of her questions answered, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard System, which is a drainage system made to prevent water clogs and collect water seepage from basement walls. To complete the installation, our team filled the open trench gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. June was happy with the results and had a great experience with our team!
