Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Kay H. in La Crescent, MN had water leaking into her basement. She was concerned about the high humidity and the damage it was causing. She saw advertising on one of our vehicles in her area and decided to give us a call. She met with one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, who inspected the home and proposed a permanent solution. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew began the waterproofing project by first removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installing our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump, which is backed by three levels of protection. Any water is now guided through the WaterGuard to the sump pump, and from there, is expelled from the home. Lastly, our SaniDry dehumidifier was put in place to take care of any humidity. Kay was happy with the project and glad her basement is now a dry, clean space. 

Kelly S. in La Crescent, MN contacted American Waterworks after being referred by another contractor. The home had an old sump pump that was unable to keep up with heavy rains and snow melt. She had water leaking into her basement, and she wanted a permanent solution. She met with Pete Wangen, one of our Design Specialists, who worked with Kelly to create a custom plan for her home. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and through the  middle of the floor, then laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they hung our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to further protect the space from moisture and mold. Then, they filled back the gaps in the floor with rock before replacing the concrete and cleaning up their work area. Kelly was pleased with the results and glad she made the investment to protect her home.

Mary M. of La Crescent, MN had water leaking through the floor of her basement at the end of her staircase, making her worry about the safety of her home. One of her friends referred to American Waterworks, so she called our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac Cole. Mac went to her home to inspect her basement and come up with a solution. Mary was confident in Mac's proposal, so she went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain that leads to the outside of the home, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. To complete the project, our crew covered the gaps under the WaterGuard with rock and applied new concrete. Mary said she had a wonderful experience and was grateful we were able to help her and her home repair needs! 

A homeowner in La Crescent, MN, discovered water damage around their basement. Worried there was further damage, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. The homeowner went to a local Facebook group and asked for any recommendations. Several of them recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so they called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Dustin, one of our Design Specialists. Dustin arrived at the home and started his thorough inspection of the basement. Following his inspection, Dustin determined the basement needed to be fully waterproofed and the sump pump replaced. Dustin proposed his recommendations to the homeowner and they agreed. After receiving approval from the homeowner, they passed the plans to the office for finalization. Once finalized, they were sent to our Field Supervisor, Rene, and his crew to begin the project. Rene and his crew arrived at the home and began the installation. First, the crew installed WaterGuard in the western corner of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. After the SuperSump+ was secured, the crew cleaned up the materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind.

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his team broke out the concrete floor perimeter and installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain.

Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Half Wall System around the wall perimeter, which is designed to prevent mold, mildew, and humidity, while also giving the basement a neat, clean finish.
