Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Dean F. of Riceville, IA had water in his basement and he wanted to get it looked at before it got any worse. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Josh. Josh went to Dean's home, took a look at the water problems, and offered some options for Dean that would fit his needs and budget. He was confident in Josh's presentation and proposal, so he went ahead with the repairs and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Aaron, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which prevents water clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and works hand in hand with the sump pump in order to pump water out of the basement quickly and efficiently. To complete the project, our team filled each floor gap with pea gravel and applied new concrete over it. The project went great and Dean was happy with the work!

A homeowner in Plymouth, MN had been enjoying in his basement space and the fireplace when he noticed a small puddle of water that had formed. He didn't hesitate to make a call to the place he knew would help him out in this situation: American Waterworks. Our website informed him of our FREE no-obligation estimate appointments, which he signed up for. We sent over Design Specialist Michel Ramirez to inspect the home and speak more with the homeowner. Michel discovered the water leaking would only continue and cause more damage unless a waterproofing system was installed. He explained that by installing our WaterGuard system, it would intercept the water at the perimeter of the basement and safely send it away outside of the home. The homeowner wanted the issue to be solved and agreed to the proposal. When the plans were approved, they were given to our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his crew to begin preparations. They arrived at the site and carefully installed the WaterGuard drain system and covered it in concrete to keep out dirt and debris. Now this homeowner has their leak-free fireplace back and can enjoy the comfort of their basement again.

In Plymouth, MN, the homeowner faced continual basement water issues. His primary sump pump struggled to remove excess water, and concerns arose. Knowing he needed expert advice, he began searching for sump pump repairs in Plymouth, MN, and found us. After looking through our website and growing impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE basement waterproofing estimate!

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home to assess the sump pump. During the inspection, he ran a few tests and confirmed that the sump pump is weak and unable to operate properly. To effectively address the situation, Daniel recommended installing our reliable UltraSump System, our battery backup pump that can operate during power outages, our 1/3 HP Zoeller sump pump, capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and our innovative IceGuard discharge line system that allows water to escape in sub-zero temperatures. The homeowner agreed to Daniel's recommendations and decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Service Technician, Edgar M., arrived at the home for the installation. He replaced the pumps in the sump pump with our Zoeller and UltraSump. He also installed 1 IceGuard and replaced the lid. After he was done with the installation, he cleaned up his equipment and left the home.

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was dealing with a leaky basement. Each time it rained, it seemed as though water would pool on the floor and in the corners of the basement. In the interest of protecting his home, he decided to look for Minneapolis basement waterproofing and eventually found our website. He decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Mac C, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

Mac got right to work inspecting the basement to see what we could do. When he concluded, Mac met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Mac wanted to use our WaterGuard. This French drain is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. It works to collect water entering from holes or cracks in the basement floor, giving it a channel to the appropriate disposal site, a pre-placed sump pump. Installation involves removing a section of floor around the perimeter and creating a drainage trench. Sections of WaterGuard® are then placed within the trench, resting on a bed of drainage stone, and the floor is restored. The homeowner liked the sound of the work and decided to schedule the work for some time later. 

On the day of the project, Lane S, our Foreman, led his team through a flawless installation. Now, our customer can enjoy her home knowing that that her water intrusion issue has been handled!
