Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Dawson, MN had water leaking through the cracks of their foundation wall. They got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to the homeowner's house, carefully inspected their leaking foundation wall, and proposed a solution that would fix their problem. The homeowner was confident in the proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine and his crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is a vapor protectant designed to prevent water from seeping through the wall, save money on energy costs, and make the basement much brighter. Along with that, it also reduces the chances of radon in the home. The homeowner was happy with the project and had a great experience with our team!

Ron, from Eagle Bend, MN, was looking for some solutions for his late father's cabin space. The basement was experiencing water intrusion, and so he and his brother decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property. 

Following a thorough inspection, Kole gave his recommendations to Ron, suggesting that they invest in our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. 

Ron agreed, and our crew got to work.

First, Ou Foreman, Arturo, and his crew began implementing our WaterGuard System, which is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, its easy-to-access service ports, and its ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. 

The drainage system now properly guides water to the Super Sump Plus pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. 

Finally, the team proceeded to install the CleanSpace wall System around the perimeter of the basement. Our CleanSpace Wall System is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners so it never falls.

After all was said and done, Ron was very glad he and his brother made the decision to call American Waterworks and had their peace of mind restored.

Jeremy K. of Starbuck, MN had water leaking into his basement, causing him to worry about water moisture and damage to his personal property. He got in contact with our office staff at American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to his home, inspected his problems, and drew up a well-designed solution. Jeremy was confident in Shane's proposal of our WaterGuard Drainage System, so he signed the contract and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is an underground drain that prevents water and mud clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and works efficiently with the sump pump. To complete the work, Tremaine and his team filled the open gaps with rock and pea gravel and applied new concrete over it. Jeremy was ecstatic with the outcome of the project and had a positive experience!

William and Heidi T. of Lake Benton, MN have had a wet basement ever since they moved into their home. They finally decided to have a professional look at it, so they called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to her home, carefully inspected her basement, and drew up a solution that would repair their basement and home repair needs. They were confident with our proposal and job description, so they went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. This drainage system is the most common drainage system we provide for homeowners because of its easily accessible service ports and its ability to collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. This vapor barrier is designed to prevent mold and humidity, save money on energy costs, and give the basement a neat and clean appearance. Lastly, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump that we provide for homeowners because it triples the protection, solves all three water problems in one unit, and comes with a battery back-up. Our battery back-up is designed to keep the sump pump running if there was a power outage. To complete the project, our Foreman and his crew filled the open-floor gaps with rock and applied new concrete over it. William and Heidi were both happy with the project, and had a great experience from start to finish!

Dianne and Lois of Ivanhoe, MN had water leaking and cracked foundation walls throughout their basement. They wanted to get it repaired as soon as possible so it didn't get any worse. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell.

Dianne and Lois were confident in Ryan's proposal of our waterproofing and foundation repair products, so they went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench, and diagonally down the middle, forming a feed line. In the perimeter trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System in connection with the feed line. Our WaterGuard is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, Matt and his team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent humidity and mold build-up, and act as an extra wall protectant. Then, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is provided with three layers of protection and solves all three water problems in one system. Lastly, our team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabilize and straighten the foundation wall. Our wall anchors are embedded in stable soil outside of the foundation wall and is connected by a long, medal rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps throughout the trench and feed line with rock and applied new concrete.
