Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Matthew L. of Bagley, MN had water seeping into his basement and had foundation cracks in his exposed basement wall. Our office staff got in contact with him and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie. Richie went to his home and inspected his basement leaks and foundation cracks. Richie proposed our DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe for the water leaks and our CarbonArmor Wall Reinforcing System for the foundation cracks. Matthew was confident in both products and their warranties, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production crew installed six of our CarbonArmor with epoxy resin. This system is designed to stabilize and strengthen foundation walls and is 10 times stronger than steel. After the installation, it becomes part of the wall structure and can be painted to match the color of the wall. Next, our team installed our DryTrak Baseboard Drain Pipe around the floor perimeter, which collects water from basement walls, stays out of the mud zone, and requires no jackhammering. Since this foundation's floor and footing comes as one piece, DryTrak was the correct interior drainage system to use. Matthew was thrilled with the repairs and had a great experience with our team!

Cindy, from Plummer, MN, was looking for some solutions for her home's basement space. The basement was experiencing water intrusion and cracking foundation, so she decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. Following a thorough inspection, Ian gave his recommendations to Cindy, suggesting that she invest in our WaterGuard system as well as our SuperSump Plus. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. Cindy agreed, and our crew got to work.

Our Foreman and his crew began implementing our WaterGuard System. From there, our crew installed our SuperSump Plus Sump Pump to the feedline. Our crew filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. 

After all was said and done, Cindy was glad she made the decision to call American Waterworks and had her peace of mind restored.

A homeowner in Buffalo, MN, was doing their laundry when they discovered standing water around their sump pump. Alarmed by this discovery, the homeowner immediately wanted to tackle the situation before it worsened. Knowing we have done great work in the past, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Dylan. After Dylan arrived, he began his walkthrough of the basement. Following his detailed walkthrough, Dylan determined that the corner of the home required to be waterproofed. Dylan suggested that WaterGuard be installed in that corner of the home. After deliberating, the homeowners decided that this was their best option. As soon as they were given the okay, our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew traveled to begin the project. First, the crew had to half-demo the eastern corner wall. After the wall was half demolished, the crew was able to install the WaterGuard along the footing. After the crew installed the WaterGuard, they completed the installation and put the basement back in place. The homeowners were relieved to know their basement flood risk was diminished. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind. 

A homeowner was worried about his basement after a heavy rainfall, so he went downstairs to see if any damage was done. Sure enough, he found some small puddles of water on the floor and knew that his pump was most likely not working properly. He went online in search of a solution and came across the American Waterworks website. Our FREE estimates were intriguing to him because he liked the idea of speaking with a professional before agreeing to any installations. One of our Design Specialists, Dave Seawell, went to the home and informed the homeowner of our quality waterproofing products. He developed a detailed plan for his recommendations and once they were approved, the project was ready to be completed. Our Foreman, Lane Schlobohm, and his crew went to the site and installed the WaterGuard basement drain system, TripleSafe sump pump, and CleanSpace wall vapor barrier. The homeowner was very impressed with the work done by our crew and happy with the final results.

A homeowner in Buffalo, MN, was facing major water issues in his basement. He often found standing water and was concerned that it would cause permanent damage to his home. He began looking for basement waterproofing services in the area and found our website. After browsing our website and growing impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Lance S., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Lance explained to the homeowner that a failed footing drain is one of the most common causes of a wet basement. When water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation, it can make its way through joints and cracks, eventually leading into your basement. To fix this issue, Lance recommended WaterGuard, our below-the-floor drainage system that collects water around the perimeter of the basement and safely sends it to the sump pump, and CleanSpace, our highly flexible and durable vapor wall barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner happily moved forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Diego B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed a total of 21 ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace. After they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
