Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in North Oaks, MN, noticed multiple issues in her basement, such as high moisture levels, damp walls, and standing water, and was concerned that it would lead to permanent damage to her home. The homeowner remembered that her neighbor had recently gotten their basement waterproofed, so she decided to ask them what company they went through, and she learned about American Waterworks. After browsing our website, she decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Darin S., arrived at the home to conduct a proper inspection of the basement. He informed the homeowner of the issues he noticed, such as a failing sump pump and a likely failed footing drain. Darin then created a proposal for the homeowner where he suggested installing our WaterGuard, CleanSpace wall system, Shipshape monitor, and our Zoeller M98 pump, which is capable of removing 3,900 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing Darin's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In two months, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing 45ft of our CleanSpace vapor wall system by attaching them to the walls using drilled-in fasteners. Then, the crew installed 113ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and ensured it was connected to the sump pump. The crew also replaced the pump with our Zoeller M98 before installing our Shipshape, which would monitor the system. Lastly, the crew restored the flooring by pouring concrete. Once everything was installed the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Roseville, MN was enjoying a nice night by the fireplace when he noticed a damp patch in front of the fireplace. Upon further investigation, he found that water was entering his basement through the base of the brick fireplace. He wanted to get a full diagnosis of the problem so he called our office and claimed his FREE, no-obligation estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Jessie, was scheduled to go out to the home to see what could be done. After Jesse's inspection, he told the homeowner that the basement was only susceptible to water in front of the fireplace. He proposed using our WaterGuard to correct the issue. He explained that our WaterGuard french drainage system is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. He went on to say that this system is popular because of its resistance to clogs, easy-to-access ports, and ability to collect water leaking from basement walls. The homeowner agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Chris, and his team made quick work of the installation. He Connected the WaterGuard to an already installed sump pump and then covered the system up with a layer of fresh cement to keep it in place. Now our customer can enjoy their basement oasis without fear of water raining on their parade!

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Lance S., arrived at the home to give a proper inspection of the basement. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of a leaking basement is a failed footing drain. When this fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water would then enter through cracks in the walls, between the wall and the footing, and underneath the footing. For this reason, Lance recommended our WaterGuard, CleanSpace, SuperSump+, and IceGuard. Our WaterGuard is a below-the-floor drain system that intercepts water at the perimeter of the basement and ejects it away. Our CleanSpace is our vapor wall barrier that is designed to prevent water from permeating the walls and move any water leaks to the drain system. Our SuperSump+ is a reliable sump pump capable of removing 2,220 gallons of water per hour. Lastly, our IceGuard is our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipe freezes or becomes clogged. The homeowner reviewed Lance's proposal and happily agreed to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Luis D., arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing 140sqft of CleanSpace by attaching them to the wall using drilled-in fasteners.

Once they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
