Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Long Lake, MN, noticed water stains throughout their basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find the source of the issue. The homeowner began looking for the best waterproofing company near Minneapolis. After asking a local Facebook group chat, the same name kept getting brought up, American Waterworks. The homeowner went to our website and took a closer look at our company. After seeing our impressive projects and reviews, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Nick, to the home to complete the inspection. After Nick arrived at the home, he introduced himself to the homeowner and began his detailed walkthrough of the home. Nick completed the inspection and determined the basement needed to be properly waterproofed. Nick recommended a solution that would solve the water intrusion issues. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed. The plans were sent to the office for approval, and then to our Foreman, Deigo. Deigo and his crew made their way to the home and began the project preparations. First, the crew installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Next, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. Following the sump replacement, the crew attached an IceGuard to the outside discharge line. Finally, the crew installed an Aprilaire E70 in the home. Once all the products were successfully installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to waterproof another homeowner's basement. 

A customer from Long Lake, MN got in contact with us when they began to notice unwanted water entering the basement of their property and bowing walls. They had hopes of turning their basement into a live-able space and didn't want to have to worry about water damage. When they called in, they used their FREE estimate and had our Design Specialist, Eric, out to the property to assess the situation. When he completed his walkthrough he was able to make his recommendations. To address the water intrusion, Eric recommended two of our products that would work hand in hand. First, he wanted to drape the walls in our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a plastic tarp-like material that gets tacked to the wall, catching any water entering through cracks and porous holes. As the water drains down the plastic barrier, it deposits into Eric's second recommendation, our WaterGuard french drainage system. This discreet drainage option sits below the concrete floor of the basement, collecting the water draining down the wall caught by the CleanSpace. It then works to funnel it to an external source. To address the foundation of the home, Eric recommended the use of our PowerBrace and GeoLock Anchors to address the bowing walls. He explained that the PowerBrace work to permanently stabilize the wall in its place, while the GeoLock anchors stabilize the wall by anchoring it to the virgin-packed soil beyond the foundation. Finally, to make it a live-able space, he recommended the use of our Egress window, which improves the energy efficiency of the space, while providing it with an up-to-code route for exit in case of emergency. 

Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know that their basement had been transformed and that they could continue with their renovations! 

Jamie and Pat B. of Prior Lake, MN had water leaking into their unfinished basement, causing them to feel nervous living in their own home, so they went to their local home show to find contractors that could help them. They came across our booth and talked to our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, about our waterproofing products. Jamie and Pat decided to have Ryan come out to their home for a FREE Estimate. After a thorough inspection, Jamie and Pat were comfortable with Ryan's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and their production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed 42 feet of our WaterGuard System, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and act like an underground drain. Next, we applied 42 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and humidity and acts as an extra support system. To complete the project, Cory and his team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Jamie and Pat could not believe the installation only took a day. They had a remarkable experience from start to finish! 

Following a heavy thunderstorm, a homeowner in Austin, MN, noticed their sump pump was not running at full capacity. The homeowner knew their sump pump needed to be replaced, so they began looking into "interior sump pump near me". After sifting through several companies, only one company stood above the rest: American Waterworks. Next, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Darin, to the home to take a closer look. After Darin arrived at the home, he introduced himself to the homeowner and began the thorough inspection of the basement. After taking a closer look at the sump pump, Darin confirmed it was not running at full capacity. Darin recommended taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump, one of our elite sump pump systems. After hearing the benefits of the sump pump system, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommended proposal. After receiving the homeowner's stamp of approval, the plans were sent to our Logistics team to schedule and build the project. Our Logistics team gave the green light, then it was assigned to our Foreman, Luis. The following month, Luis and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Luis and his crew started by taking out the old sump pump. Once the old sump pump was removed, the homeowner installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, one of the most efficient sump pump systems on the market. After the TripleSafe was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was happy to know they had one of the best sump pumps installed in their home.
