Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN became alarmed when he found an area of his basement carpet was wet. He inspected along the other walls of the basement and found similar issues, water leaking through and coming in at the base of the walls. Not wanting to wait any longer for the problems to worsen, he called American Waterworks and signed up for a FREE no-obligation estimate with one of our experts. We sent over Design Specialist Nick Skillman to the home to check out the basement and see what recommendations he could come up with. Nick assured the homeowner that something could be done to get rid of the current water problems and prevent future ones from happening. He explained that our WaterGuard system would be the best solution because it intercepts water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away safely. The homeowner agreed to the plans and the project began. Foreman Jeromy Anderson and his crew arrived at the site to carry out the installation of the WaterGuard and ensured everything was working properly before leaving. The homeowner was thrilled to be rid of the water issues and thankful for our work.

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN, was in the market for an upgraded egress window. The previous window well had been handmade and was no longer up to code. Not wanting to sacrifice safety any longer, he began to search for a company that could help. When he found our website, he signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dave S, headed out to the home. 

Once Dave completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss recommendations. Dave informed the homeowner that he was recommending the installation of our RockWell window well. He explained that 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. Our egress window wells meet the IRC Egress Code Requirements, providing you and your family with a direct escape from any of the inhabited rooms in your basement. 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 Dave's recommendation and scheduled the job for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, and his team were able to replace the egress with no complications. Now, our customer can enjoy his basement space without worries of his window well not being up to code.

Ashley N. of Saint Louis Park, MN had water leaking from her pre-existing sump pump and from her basement walls, making her feel nervous about the water moisture and humidity in her home. She called our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared Bruns. Jared went to her home, inspected the problem, and came up with a solution. Ashley was comfortable with Jared's proposal, so they went ahead and got an installation date scheduled. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew started the installation by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our SuperSump Plus M53, which is made to keep basements dry for long periods of time, especially during harsh weather conditions. Next, our crew broke out half the wall perimeter and broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which prevents water clogs, serves as an underground drain, and collects water seepage from basement walls. To complete the work, our team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.
