Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Kim B. of Blaine, MN had water leaking in part of her basement so she called American Waterworks to set up a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Michael Janousek, went out to her home to detect the issue and come up with a solution. Kim was comfortable with the presentation, so she followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production team installed our WaterGuard and CleanSpace Wall System where it was leaking most. Our WaterGuard serves as an underground drain and collects water from basement walls, while our CleanSpace prevents humidity and mold from invading a specific area. Kim was happy with the turnout, and is no longer experiencing water seepage problems! 

A homeowner in Greenbush, MN had water leaking from their wall, making them feel nervous about water moisture and humidity problems. They called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate for our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to their home, inspected their problems, and came up with a solution. The homeowner was confident in Richie's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team began the installation by cutting out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which acts as an underground drain, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team cut out the wall perimeter and installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent humidity and water moisture from invading the basement, and it covers big holes or divots in the wall. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

Linda, from Pequot Lakes, MN, was looking for some solutions for her home's basement space. The basement was experiencing water intrusion, so she decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to the property. 

Following a thorough inspection, Shane gave his recommendations to Linda, suggesting that she invest in our WaterGuard system as well as our SuperSump Plus. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. Linda agreed, and our crew got to work.

Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew began implementing our WaterGuard System, a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed 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. The crew then broke out concrete to make a feed line. From there, our crew installed our SuperSump Plus Sump Pump to the feedline. Our crew filled the open gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. 

After all was said and done, Linda was very glad she made the decision to call American Waterworks and had her peace of mind restored.

A homeowner in Clearbrook, MN, was cleaning their basement when they discovered water seeping near the walls. Immediately frightened by the discovery, the homeowners quickly search for a solution. After talking to a neighbor, they recommended calling us, American Waterworks. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and we quickly sent our Design Specialist, Richie, to assess the condition of the basement. Richie diagnosed that a Waterguard and Feedline would need to be installed to drain the excess water. Our crew began the construction of the WaterGuard, by digging a small trench along the footing of the wall. Next, they placed the WaterGuard and ran it along the walls. Then, the crew dug another small trench across the floor to insert the Feedline. After it was all in place, the crew covered the piping. Finally, the crew demolished the wall where the mold and rot were discovered and covered the walls in CleanSpace. The crew left the homeowners with peace of mind knowing their basement is waterproofed and prepared for future storms. 

A homeowner in Brainerd, MN was concerned about his basement when he noticed some water damage in a corner of the utility room. Not sure what this meant for the basement, he wanted to get a professional's opinion on what should be done before trying to fix it himself. He went online to search "Minnesota basement waterproofing" and found a variety of results that came up. After shuffling through some of the options, he decided to go with American Waterworks because of our FREE no-obligation estimate service. One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, later went to the home to inspect the basement and see what should be done in terms of repairs. Shane determined that our WaterGuard basement system should be installed to move any incoming water away from the home and directing it safely to the sump pump. The homeowner was glad to hear this and agreed to the installation. Our Foreman, Jonathan Burnes, and his crew went to the site and carefully installed the WaterGuard system at the perimeter of the basement. Now the homeowner is confident in his waterproofed basement and glad to no longer have water damage.
