Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, was facing wet basement issues such as water leaking between the wall and the footing and cracks on the walls. Concerned that the issue would worsen, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing contractors in the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate.

In less than a week, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the problem areas and answered any questions the homeowner had. He also explained that a failed footing drain could be the likely reason why water was leaking between the wall and the floor. When this fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation and enters through cracks on the wall and in the joints. To fix this issue, our Design Specialist recommended WaterGuard, our elite drainage system installed at the perimeter of the basement to collect water and send it to the sump pump, CleanSpace, our wall vapor barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls and sends any water leaks to the drainage system, SuperSump+, our sump pump system capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape the home in case the sump pump discharge lines freeze. The homeowner happily agreed to our Design Specialist's recommendations and scheduled the installation date with our Foreman.

In about a couple of months, our Foreman, Francisco E., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 15 ft of WaterGuard, 14ft of CleanSpace, 1 Supersump+, and 1 IceGuard. Once the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

In Minneapolis, MN a homeowner was concerned when she was in her basement space and noticed a good amount of water damage on the concrete floors. She was relieved that the basement was unfinished and didn't damage the space too much, but still wanted to prevent the issue from growing over time. She found the American Waterworks website in her search of waterproofing solutions and was interested in our FREE estimate services. She signed up for her own and once we received the request, sent over Design Specialist Dylan Woitas. Dylan carried out a detailed inspection of the basement space and suggested that to stop the current water intake for good, installing a WaterGuard system would be the best solution. The homeowner trusted his judgement and agreed to move forward with the process. When Foreman Arturo Mares and his crew arrived at the site, they made sure to talk the homeowner through the project and answer any questions before starting. Then, they installed the WaterGuard system, which works by intercepting water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away safely to the sump pump. The homeowner was pleased with the results and thanked our crew for their hard work.

A homeowner from Brooklyn Center, MN, was growing frustrated over her leaky basement. She had a waterproofing system in place already, but she feared her old sump was having trouble keeping up, because each time it rained, her basement corners would floor. Not wanting any of the children in the home to get to the dirty water, she decided to begin her search for a MN  basement waterproofing company. When she found our website, she decided to sign up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later,  Ryan P, one of our Design Specialists, headed to her home.

After Ryan completed his inspection, he informed the homeowner that American Waterworks could help fix the issue. Ryan wanted to install our SuperSump sump pump. The SuperSump is an effective and economical solution to fighting unwanted water. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even during times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump boasts a powerful Zoller 1/3 horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. Ryan finished by saying that the sump pump could be connected to the existing system. The homeowner was thrilled to hear the news, and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

The next month, our waterproofing team headed out to her home. Led by their Foreman, Kevin M, the team successfully placed a SuperSump, and attached it to the pre-existing system. Now our customer can enjoy her basement without worries of water!
