Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Faribault, MN, was dealing with an outdated sump system that was on her last nerve. The homeowner was concerned that if she didn't do something about the old system soon, she would be left with a mess in her basement come the first melt of spring. She decided to search for crawl space repairs near Faribault, MN and quickly found American Waterworks. She signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, was out to the home. 

Ryan completed his inspection and, when he finished, informed the homeowner that he believed the basement could benefit from replacing the old system with our TripleSafe sump pump, the most reliable pump in our lineup. This innovative machine is specially designed with three levels of protection for both your basement and your peace of mind. In times of normal functioning, the system has a powerful cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sum pump set at the lowest level. For times of heavy volume water, the TripleSafe boasts a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 horsepower pump set a bit higher in the liner that will take over. Ryan went on to say that he would also recommend our UltraSump battery backup system. He explained that the UltraSump will alert you of power failure with an alarm sound when it runs and silences when the pump cycles off. This system can pump out an excess of 11,500 gallons of water on a fully charged battery. The homeowner was thrilled with the new system recommendation and scheduled the job on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Kevin M, and his team successfully placed the system. Now, our customer can have peace of mind heading into the warmer months! 

A homeowner from Faribault, MN, got in touch with us when she noticed that she was entering her space through the joints where the floor and walls met. She was worried that if she left the issue unchecked, it would drag down the value of her home when she resold it in the future. Deciding to address the problem, she began to look into MN basement waterproofing. After finding us through the recommendation of friends and family, she signed up for her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brian R, was headed out to the home. When Brian arrived, he completed his thorough inspection and then met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. First, Brian recommended our WaterGuard. This French drain gets installed below the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, working to provide the unwanted water entering the space a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. While Brian was in the basement, he noticed that the basement lacked a sump system, so he recommended our TripleSafe sump pump. This sump pump is the most reliable sump in our lineup, boasting three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. The homeowner was thrilled with Brian's recommendation and signed up for the project on the spot. 

A month or so late, our Foreman, Jose C, and his team installed 101 ft of WaterGuard and 1 TripleSafe in the basement of the space. Now, our customer can enjoy all of the perks of a dry and healthy space!

After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Peter recommended installing WaterGuard, our drainage system, CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier, SuperSump, our reliable sump pump system, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner knew it was the best choice for their home and decided to move forward with the project.

Following a series of heavy thunderstorms, a homeowner in Faribault, MN, discovered their basement was suffering significantly. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner began searching for "interior basement drain system installation near me." One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Brian. A few days later, Brian promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Brian confirmed that several areas were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the water intrusion from worsening, Brian recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Brian's recommendations. Next, the homeowner and Brian worked together to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Raul, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Raul and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe sump pump. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Finally, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. Once all the products were completed, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customers' water-damaged basements. 

A Faribault, MN, homeowner was looking to add a bedroom to his basement but was running into an issue. For his new addition to be a legal bedroom, he needed a means of egress that met codes of safety. He began the search for companies in the area that could help, and ended up finding our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to the home. 

Once our Design Specialist completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Our Design Specialist recommended using our RockWell Window Well. RockWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust and rot proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. A polycarbonate safety cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural sunlight and fresh outside air to enter your basement. While they are not intended for continual foot traffic, the 10mm fluted polycarbonate cover will hold up to 500 lbs. of weight and prevent family members from accidentally falling into the window well. The homeowner liked the sound of our Design Specialist's plan and scheduled the work for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Luis D, was able to install the RockWell with no issues. Now, our customer can enjoy his new addition, knowing its code-compliant!
