Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Karen M. in Marshall, MN was tired of dealing with her basement flooding after heavy rains and snow melt. She contacted American Waterworks after doing some online research and spending some time on our website. She met with one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, who inspected the situation and developed a thorough plan to keep Karen’s basement dry. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production crew got to work and removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laid 121 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump, providing three levels of protection for Karen’s basement and her peace of mind. 

Bette and James A. of Marshall, MN were starting to see small holes through the foundation of their home. With the home being 100 years old, they wanted to get an opinion on what the best ways would be to ensure the home is safe to live in. They got in touch with American Waterworks and got a FREE estimate schedule with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist, Shane, went to the home, carefully inspected the problems, and determined a solution for our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Bette and James put down a deposit and followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his crew started the project by breaking out the entire concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which is designed to prevent water clogs and collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrer around the entire basement wall perimeter, which is designed to prevent moisture and mold, cover any holes or divots in the foundation, and gives the basement a clean appearance. Lastly, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which has three layers of water protection, solves all three water problems in one unit, and comes with a battery backup in case of power failure. To complete the work, our team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. The homeowners were very satisfied with the work and post-installation walkthrough!

A Marshall, MN, homeowner had noticed several cracks running down his foundation walls over the years. He did not want to worry about the problem any longer, so he decided to find a foundation repair company out of Minnesota. After he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist was headed out to the home. 

Our Design Specialist got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he was ready to make his recommendation, our CarbonArmor system. He explained that foundation wall cracks and bowing basement walls are signs that your foundation requires repair. CarbonArmor® straps are a quick, affordable way to stabilize block and poured concrete walls that have cracked and that are showing signs of bowing. Our installers determine the number of straps required depending on the pressure being exerted and the length of the affected wall. The super strong carbon fiber straps are then attached to the wall with epoxy. While this method does not restore a bowed wall to its original plumb state, it will halt further movement and cracks. And because the straps don't protrude from the wall the way I-beams do, the repair can be easily covered with mortar, paint, or light wall panels. The homeowner liked the sound of our Design Specialists plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Raul B, led his team through the successful installation of 13 CarbonArmor strips throughout the basement. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing his foundation worries have been halted! 

Gene and Sharon B. of Granite Falls, MN had a wet basement, causing him to worry about damage to property and other water problems. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to their home, carefully inspected their basement, and drew out a plan that worked for them and their home repair needs. They were confident in Ryan's proposal and they got all of their questions answered so they moved forward with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which prevents water and mud clogs, collects water leakage from basement walls, and serves as an underground drain. Next, Matt and his team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and mildew, cover any holes or divots, and give the basement a bright and clean appearance. To finish the installation, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the space was cleaner than when they found it. Gene and Sharon were happy with the project and couldn't believe the transformation from beginning to end!

Our team installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which prevents water clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and acts as an underground drain.
