Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Kelly S. in La Crescent, MN contacted American Waterworks after being referred by another contractor. The home had an old sump pump that was unable to keep up with heavy rains and snow melt. She had water leaking into her basement, and she wanted a permanent solution. She met with Pete Wangen, one of our Design Specialists, who worked with Kelly to create a custom plan for her home. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and through the  middle of the floor, then laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they hung our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to further protect the space from moisture and mold. Then, they filled back the gaps in the floor with rock before replacing the concrete and cleaning up their work area. Kelly was pleased with the results and glad she made the investment to protect her home.

Mary M. of La Crescent, MN had water leaking through the floor of her basement at the end of her staircase, making her worry about the safety of her home. One of her friends referred to American Waterworks, so she called our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac Cole. Mac went to her home to inspect her basement and come up with a solution. Mary was confident in Mac's proposal, so she went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain that leads to the outside of the home, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. To complete the project, our crew covered the gaps under the WaterGuard with rock and applied new concrete. Mary said she had a wonderful experience and was grateful we were able to help her and her home repair needs! 

Jesse R. of Holmen, WI had water coming into their basement, and they wanted to get it fixed before it got any worse.

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his team broke out the concrete floor perimeter and installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water leakage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Half Wall System around the wall perimeter, which is designed to prevent mold, mildew, and humidity, while also giving the basement a neat, clean finish. Our crew finished the project by filling the open-floor gaps with river rock and applying new concrete over them.

Steven and Linda T. of Holmen, WI had water leaking into their basement from their walls. They had American Waterworks do work on their home before, so they worked with us again. Our Foremen, Dakota and Geno, installed our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels along the wall and re-applied concrete over the interior drainage system. Our Basement to Beautiful Panels is advanced foam insulation that helps with energy savings and gives the basement a neat, clean appearance.

Darla from Saint Lucas, IA, needed a solution for her basement water issues. After looking around, she went on the American Waterworks website, and we set her up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian.

First, Foreman, Jeromy and his production crew started the installation by completing a full-wall demo and then breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System along the East and South walls of the basement where issues were present. Our WaterGuard is 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. To complete the WaterGuard project, Jeromy and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Our team also worked to provide the space a more finished, insulated, and durable feel by installing our ZenWall™ Insulated Panels. The ZenWall™ panels provide insulation, waterproofing, and a finished appearance for basement walls. This patented system is ideal for homeowners interested in a more comfortable, energy-efficient basement. Are you having water problems in your basement?
