Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Kasson, MN, noticed an odd noise coming from their basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner began searching for a possible solution. Knowing they needed a professional, the homeowner began looking into "best home sump pumps". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our elite sump pump system, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate, and then we sent one of our Design Specialists to the home to begin the estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists to perform a detailed inspection. During the inspection, the Design Specialist confirmed the basement was suffering from water intrusion. The Design Specialist recommended taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Once the TripleSafe was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know they had one of the best sump pumps installed in their home. If you are worried your sump pump is not working correctly, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

Derek M. of Rosemount, MN had crawl space moisture and loss of heat under his living area and he wanted to get it encapsulated. He did his research and came across American Waterworks and our crawl space waterproofing services. Our Design Specialist, Dustin, went to Derek's home, inspected his crawl space, and determined the solution of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier and our Foamax Wall Panels. Derek got all of his questions answered about our products so he wrote out a deposit, signed the proposal, and got a date set up for installation. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew started the installation by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space wall perimeter. These panels are designed to provide comfort and warmth to the home and make the wall look clean and bright. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier on top of the crawl space floor, which is designed to prevent mold and mildew, seal away poor smells, increase the home value, and keep away pests or insects. Derek was happy with how the project turned out and had a great experience!

Adam U. of New Hampton, IA had water leaking throughout his basement, making him worry about water moisture and mold build-up. He called American Waterworks to learn more information about our basement waterproofing repair products. He requested a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Brandon Johnson. Brandon went to his home, inspected his basement, and provided a solution. Adam was confident in Brandon's proposal, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard is an underground drainage system that collects water seepage from basement walls and prevents water clogs. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter of the basement. Our CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that is great for unfinished basements. It is pliable enough to cover uneven surfaces and it prevents mold build-up and humidity. Lastly, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three layers of protection and solves all three water problems in one system. To complete the project, Raul and his team covered the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete. Adam was thrilled with the work, and had a remarkable experience from start to finish! 

A homeowner in Grand Meadow, MN, noticed that his basement is experiencing moisture issues such as mold growth and efflorescence. Concerned for his home, he decided to search for "basement waterproofing experts in Grand Meadow, MN" and found a list of contractors. After reviewing everyone's website, the homeowner knew we were the best choice and contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Darin S., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Darin noticed that the homeowner did not have a sump system installed in their basement and explained that it was the likely reason why the homeowner is facing moisture issues. Darin recommended SuperSump+, our superior sump pump system that is capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipes freeze. After reviewing Darin's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In about two months, our Foreman, Isael D., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 1 SuperSump+ along the corner of the basement and 1 IceGuard. Once the crew was done and they ensured everything was working properly, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner from Mantorville, MN, was down in his basement one day when he noticed a damp patch of carpet by the baseboard of one of his walls. He recalled that his area had been hit by a storm recently, but grew concerned about rainwater entering his space. He immediately took to the internet to search for 'interior basement waterproofing near me', and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists was headed out to the home. 

Our Design Specialist got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, our Design Specialist recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly onto unfinished basement walls. It works to trap water entering through small holes or cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into a perimeter drain, which in this case, was recommended to be our WaterGuard drain. This unique French drain gets installed below the concrete floor, atop the footing of the foundation, to keep it out of the 'mud zone' where other drains of its nature tend to clog. It works to collect the water entering from the CleanSpace, as well as water entering through holes in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site like a sump pump or discharge line. Our Design Specialist had noted that the collected water had no means to exit the basement, so he recommended our SuperSump sump pump. This effective and economical pump is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump boasts a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner agreed with our Design Specialists recommendation and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Kiko, led his team through the successful installation of  4f6t of CleanSpace and WaterGuard, as well as 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his water intrusion worries have been put to an end!
