Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Allison H. in Saint Paul, MN had water leaking into her basement through a crack in the foundation. She requested an estimate from American Waterworks through HomeAdvisor, and we sent our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radtke, to her home to provide a FREE estimate. Jeremy recommended that Allison have our waterproofing system installed to keep her basement dry and comfortable. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our SuperSump sump pump in the corner and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to further protect the space from moisture and mold. Lastly, the crew filled back the gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Allison’s peace of mind has been restored, and she is happy she can enjoy a dry, healthy basement!

A homeowner in Eagan, MN was alarmed to find water damage in her basement space. She wanted to find a solution for it sooner than later, to prevent any more problems from happening. One of her neighbors had also dealt with water-related issues and American Waterworks was the company that helped them out. She decided to contact them as well for a FREE no-obligation estimate to see what they could do for her own situation. We sent over Design Specialist Adam Voigt to inspect the area, see what the root of the water damage was, and present recommendations. Adam informed the homeowner that the main issue was the current sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water that was entering through the foundation and would continue if left unattended to. He suggested to her that a SuperSump Plus pump system would be able to keep up with pumping the water that was entering. Our Foreman, Chris Newton, and his crew arrived at the site to carry out the installation of the SuperSump Plus system and a discharge line to carry the water from the inside pump to outside of the home. The homeowner was relieved to have a water-free basement again and grateful for our services.

A Saint Paul, MN, homeowner had been facing an issue with his sump pump for a while. Over the years, the system had started to display problems such as loud and unusual noises, cycling in times of no water intrusion, and not functioning when the basement needed it the most. He decided to find a sump pump repair company near Saint Paul, MN, and quickly found us and signed up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, headed out to the home. He completed his thorough inspection of the basement and then met with the homeowner to go over his findings. Ryan began by saying that while the outdated sump pump was not helping the basement, he found evidence of water intrusion in other areas, indicating that the problem was spreading, meaning a sump pump might not be enough to deal with excess water. Ryan first recommended our CleanSpace, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly to foundation walls to direct water downward into a perimeter drain. In this case, Ryan recommended the drain to be our WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is a below-floor French drain that acts as a channel, directing water entering it to the appropriate disposal site. When Ryan got to the sump, he recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an economical, yet effective system for removing water from a space. The homeowner was thrilled with Ryan's recommendations and scheduled the project for several weeks later.

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco E, and his team installed 27ft of WaterGuard, 13ft of CleanSpace, and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can enjoy a dry and healthy basement!

An Eagan, MN, homeowner was growing more concerned about her basement bedroom. Each time it rained, the carpet of the room took on water, becoming overly saturated. The homeowner contacted a handyman, who referred him to us. He decided to set up his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Darin S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

Darin completed his thorough inspection of the basement. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Darin recommended our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the slab of the concrete floor and atop the footing of the foundation. It works to collect water entering through holes or cracks in the floor, giving the water a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. One thing Darin had noticed was that the basement lacked a means of disposing of unwanted water. For this reason, Darin recommended our SuperSump sump pump. This pump keeps your basement dry using a float-operated and fully submersible pump. The homeowner agreed with Darin's recommendations and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Diego B, led his team through the flawless installation of 34ft of WaterGuard, and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that her water intrusion issues have been handled! 

A homeowner in St. Paul, MN, noticed their walls were weeping water. Worried their basement was in serious trouble, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner asked their neighbor who had a similar issue. Their neighbor recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist. The Design Specialist promptly arrived and started the thorough inspection of the water-damaged basement. After his thorough investigation, the Design Specialist confirmed that the basement needed to be fully waterproofed. The Design Specialist shared their findings with the homeowner, but also provided them with a solution. The homeowner agreed with the proposal, so they worked with the Design Specialist to schedule an installation date. Our Foreman, Lane, and his crew were assigned to the project. When they arrived, they began by securing WaterGuard along the basement walls. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Finally, the crew wrapped up by installing an Aprilaire in the corner of the room. The homeowner was delighted to know their basement was properly waterproofed.
