Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A Brainerd, MN, homeowner was quickly losing her patience with her sump pump. The system was older and had a tough time keeping up with water flow in times of heavy intrusion. The homeowner knew she needed to upgrade her sump pump, and began looking for sump pump repair companies in Minnesota. When she found our website, she signed up for our FREE estimate, and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists was out at the home. 

After completing his comprehensive inspection, our Design Specialist was ready to make his recommendation. First, he recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier be installed in the problem corner of the room. He explained that this 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets applied directly to the wall and works to collect any water entering through cracks and holes in the space, directing it down and into a perimeter drain that our Design Specialist was recommended to be our WaterGuard. This french drain is placed below the floor of the basement but atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. It collects the water flowing down from the CleanSpace, as well as water entering through holes in the floor, giving it a channel to flow to a disposal site such as a sump pump or discharge line. Because the basement lacked a means of disposing of unwanted water, our Design Specialist recommended our SuperSump plus sump pump, an effective and economical solution to unwanted water. The homeowner agreed and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, RJ L, led his team through the successful installation of 29 ft of WaterGuard, 14ft of CleanSpace, and 1 SuperSump plus sump pump. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that her new waterproofing system will be there during times of heavy rain! 

Jim M. of Brainerd, MN had water leaking underneath his basement stairs, so he did some research on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks. Our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, went to his home for a FREE Estimate to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Jim was comfortable with the proposal, so he set up an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Dan Hendrix, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete underneath the stair landing to form a small trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System which acts as an underground drain. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System, designed to prevent mold and humidity build-up. To complete the work, Dan and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Jim was very happy with the work and is grateful we were able to help him and his home repair needs!

Lisa C. of Brainerd, MN had water leaking into her basement, and she wanted to get it inspected by a professional. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie.

Lisa was confident in Richie's proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Zach, and his crew member broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench, and installed our WaterGuard into the trench. This system is made to collect water seepage from basement walls and prevent mud clogs. To complete the project, Zach and his crew filled the open gaps with rock and applied a new layer of concrete over them. Lisa was happy with the work that was done and had a great experience!

A homeowner in Champlin, MN, noticed water stains on their cement basement floors. Wanting the issue resolved, the homeowner began looking for a solution. During their search, the homeowner saw our impressive reviews. The homeowner decided to sign up for our FREE estimate on our website and awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Jesse. When Jesse arrived at the home, he began his in-depth analysis of the basement. Jesse found that the edges of the home were where the water was seeping in. To stop the leaking, Jesse suggested that the basement be fully waterproofed. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Jesse's suggestions. Once they received the stamp of approval, the plans were directed to our Foreman, Crescencio, and his crew. When they arrived, Crescencio and his crew began by installing the WaterGuard in the northeast corner of the basement. After the WaterGuard was installed, the crew installed the SuperSump in the closet. Finally, the crew installed an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. After all the waterproofing products were installed, the crew cleaned up the materials and left the home. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their basement was properly waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to waterproof their customers' basements. 

A homeowner in Champlin, MN, began hearing odd noises coming from their basement. Unsure of the source, the homeowner searched throughout their basement. Finally, the homeowner found that the source of the sound was their outdated sump pump. Worried about the long-term effects this could have, the homeowner began looking for a professional solution. Unsure of who to work with, the homeowner asked a friend who had similar issues in the past. Their friend recommended working with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After their estimates were set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Nick. Once he arrived, Nick introduced himself to the homeowner and began inspecting the status of the sump pump. Nick wrapped up the inspection and determined that the sump pump needed to be replaced. Additionally, Nick recommended installing WaterGuard and attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. The homeowner agreed with Nick's suggestions and the plans were sent to the office for approval. Once they were approved, they were sent to our Foreman, Diego, and his crew. Diego and his crew started the project by taking out the old sump pump. Once the old sump pump was removed, the crew dug channels and put the WaterGuard into place. Next, they secured the SuperSump+ into place and tied it to the WaterGuard system. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the walls. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist its customers with their sump pump issues.
