Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Marcus C. of Bismarck,  ND had water coming into his basement through his wood foundation. He heard about American Waterworks, so he got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our  Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to Marcus's home, carefully inspected his problems, and proposed a solution that would repair his basement problems. He was confident in Ian's plan of our half wall demolition, Foamax Half Wall Panels, and our WaterGuard Below-Drain System, so he signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production crew began the process by performing a half wall demolition around the wall perimeter and installing our Foamax Half Wall Panels. Our Foamax is an advanced foam insulation that prevents condensation and provides protection from moisture. Next, our team broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGaurd Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is an interior drainage system that prevents water and mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. To complete the project, Ryan and his team filled the open-floor gaps with small rocks and applied new concrete over them. Marcus was thrilled with the work and had a remarkable experience with our team!

Chad P. of McIntosh, MN had two problems in his basement that both needed repairs right away. His foundation wall was cracking, and water was leaking into his basement from the cracks. He heard about American Waterworks and called our office line to get some more information about our products. Our staff set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to his house, carefully inspected his problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. Chad was confident in Ian's drawn-out design and presentation, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the solution by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is an interior drain that works efficiently with the sump pump. Our WaterGuard prevents water and mud clogs by staying out of the mud zone and it collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold, mildew, and humidity, it guides the water into the WaterGuard System, and it gives the space a neat and clean appearance. Lastly, Corey and his crew installed seven of our PowerBraces around the wall perimeter, which is a patented wall repair system that is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten the wall over time. To complete the installation, our crew covered the open floor gaps with river rock, applied new concrete over it, and did a final walkthrough with Chad to make sure he was happy with the outcome, which he was!

Julie P. of Moorhead, MN had a small water leak underneath her basement stairs. It would only occur during heavy rainstorms. She worked with American Waterworks for the repairs, and her Design Specialist was Ian Schultz. Ian examined the water leak and determined the solution of our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Julie was confident in the proposal, so she went ahead with the project and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team broke out the concrete where the water leak was and installed our WaterGuard, which collects water from basement walls and serves as an underground drain to the sump pump. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace which prevents mold and humidity and serves as a protective blanket. To complete the work, our crew filled the open-floor gap with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete over it, ensuring the space was neater and cleaner than when they found it.

A homeowner in Oxbow, ND, knew it was time to fix their leaking basement wall. Hoping they could catch the issue early enough, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing options near Oxbow, ND. The homeowner asked a local Facebook group for any recommendations and several members recommended working with us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our website, the homeowner knew we were the best company for their project. As soon as they saw our high ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, James, to the home to take a closer look. James arrived and began his detailed walkthrough of the basement. During his walk-through, James found that one wall in particular was struggling the most. To stop the wall from leaking further, James proposed installing WaterGuard and a feedline to connect to the current sump system. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with these recommendations. Next, James passed the plans along to the office to approve the project. Once the project was built and scheduled, the plans were assigned to our crew. The crew traveled to the home and began the project. First, the crew ensured the basement was prepared for the installation. Next, the crew installed WaterGuard along the wall. Then, the crew shifted their focus to installing a feedline across the basement floor. As soon as all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a kind review. American Waterworks is delighted to assist its customers in repairing their leaky basement walls.
