Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Kenyon, MN, knew it was time to repair their water-damaged basement. After taking a closer look, the homeowner knew they needed a professional to provide them with a solution. After comparing several companies, the homeowner's eye was only caught by one company, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar sump pump lineup, the homeowner decided to go ahead and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Dustin. A few weeks later, Dustin promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection. During his inspection, Dustin confirmed that water was leaking from the bottom of several basement walls. To prevent these issues from occurring, the homeowner recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was their best action plan, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Dustin's proposal. Once the proposal was finalized, it was sent to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project, and then it was assigned to our Foreman, Lane, and his crew. A few weeks later, Lane and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Lane 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. After the old sump pump was removed, the crew installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump. As soon as all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know they had one of the best sump pumps installed in their basement. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is secure. 

There's no greater solution to a wet basement than a WaterGuard basement waterproofing system combined with a CleanSpace vapor barrier encapsulation system as you will see in this before and after from another satisfied customer in Kenyon, MN.  

One of the key ingredients in this project was the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting in through their foundation. The encapsulation system will now guide water leaking in through the foundation walls and redirect it to their Waterguard perimeter floor drainage system and ultimately drain into the SuperSump sump pump.

Cara from Sargeant, MN noticed water coming into her basement at the base of the stairs. This was especially worrisome for Cara since she knew this could potentially damage her valuables. Cara contacted our Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled her FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick headed out to Cara's property and began a thorough inspection of the home to obtain a proper diagnosis of the home and prevent any other issues from arising. Rick proposed that the best solution to the issues she was experiencing was to invest in our WaterGuard and TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Cara agreed with the proposal and scheduled the date of installation. 

Our Foreman, Crescencio, and his production crew started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls.

Next up was our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home, the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. Once the job is done, the production team then places a new layer of concrete around the TripleSafe to provide a cleaner and more finished look.

To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. 

 Cara was happy with the work and had a great experience with our production crew! If you are experiencing a similar issue, please give us a call and claim your FREE estimate today!

A homeowner in Elkton, MN, noticed their sump pump was running slower and making odd noises. Concerned about the status of their sump pump, the homeowner looked for a professional to assist them. Remembering they worked with us in the past, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Romeo, one of our Design Specialists. Romeo arrived and began inspecting their current sump pump. Romeo confirmed that the sump pump needed to be replaced, so he recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. After seeing the incredible benefits, the homeowner agreed with Romeo's recommendations. Our Foreman, Dakota, was assigned to complete the job. When Dakota arrived, he began by taking out the old sump pump. Once the old sump was removed, he put the TripleSafe in its place. Additionally, Dakota installed an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. After the IceGuard was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know they have a proper working sump pump. American Waterworks is happy to give their homeowners peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Hayfield, MN, knew it was time to repair their water-damaged basement walls. To complete the project correctly, the homeowner knew they needed a professional to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "interior french drain contractors," and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. After reading about our previous projects, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Dustin. When the appointment date arrived, Dustin promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough investigation of the basement. During his inspection, Dustin discovered that the north wall was leaking the most water. To prevent this issue from worsening, Dustin recommended installing several waterproofing products along the struggling wall. Knowing this was their best action plan, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Dustin's recommendations. Next, Dustin passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project, and then it was assigned to our Foreman, Kiko. A few weeks later, Kiko traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Kiko and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, Kiko and his crew installed the TripleSafe, one of our elite sump pump systems. Finally, Kiko and his crew completed the project by installing CleanSpace on the unfinished basement walls. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the eye-catching before and after made by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners with peace of mind.
