Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Charles City, IA, noticed water stains along their basement walls. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. After looking into "wet basement contractors in Charles City, IA", the homeowner's eye was caught by our stellar ratings and reviews. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Ryan. A few weeks later, Ryan arrived at the home and started the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Ryan confirmed several walls were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent this issue from worsening, Ryan recommended waterproofing the entire basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Ryan's recommendations. Next, Ryan worked with the homeowner to find the best installation date. Once the installation date arrived, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Foreman, Jose, and his crew. A few days later, Jose and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Jose and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe sump pump. Once the TripleSafe was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew and left a stellar review. American Waterworks is delighted to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their basements are secured. 

A previous client of ours from Charles City, IA reached out to us after concerns that their sump pump wasn't keeping up with the demands of their basement and kept the basement feeling very damp.  

American Waterworks recommended installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier system to take control of the water and humidity and prevent any further heat loss.  We also installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump with battery backup to ensure that these homeowners never have to worry about a wet basement again.  

Kevin H. in Loretto, MN had water seeping through his basement walls and overflowing the pump hole. He wanted to get it taken care of before it caused damge to his home, so he contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution to fit his needs. Kevin approved of the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew got to work and removed the existing sump pump and installed our recommended TripleSafe with a battery backup system. Then, they replaced the concrete surrounding the sump pump. Our TripleSafe is backed by three layers of protection and is our most reliable sump pump. Kevin is glad he made the investment to protect his basement for the long-term.

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!
