Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Jesse R. of Holmen, WI had water coming into their basement, and they wanted to get it fixed before it got any worse. They saw an American Waterworks sign in their neighborhood, so they called our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Josh. Jesse got all of their questions answered so decided to follow through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his team broke out the concrete floor perimeter and installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water leakage from basement walls. 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. Our crew finished the project by filling the open-floor gaps with river rock and applying new concrete over them. 

At American Waterworks, we provide services in basement waterproofing, foundation repair, crawl space repair/encapsulation, radon testing/mitigation, and concrete repair/lifting. Call us today to schedule your FREE estimate!

Steven and Linda T. of Holmen, WI had water leaking into their basement from their walls. They had American Waterworks do work on their home before, so they worked with us again. Our Foremen, Dakota and Geno, installed our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels along the wall and re-applied concrete over the interior drainage system. Our Basement to Beautiful Panels is advanced foam insulation that helps with energy savings and gives the basement a neat, clean appearance. 

Steven and Linda were happy with the work and their peace of mind was restored!

Darla from Saint Lucas, IA, needed a solution for her basement water issues. After looking around, she went on the American Waterworks website, and we set her up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to his home to inspect the space and devise a solution. Darla got all of her questions answered and was confident in Ian's proposal, so she moved forward with the project. 

First, Foreman, Jeromy and his production crew started the installation by completing a full-wall demo and then breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System along the East and South walls of the basement where issues were present. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. To complete the WaterGuard project, Jeromy and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Our team also worked to provide the space a more finished, insulated, and durable feel by installing our ZenWall™ Insulated Panels. The ZenWall™ panels provide insulation, waterproofing, and a finished appearance for basement walls. This patented system is ideal for homeowners interested in a more comfortable, energy-efficient basement. Are you having water problems in your basement?

Sarah F. in Decorah, IA was experiencing dampness in her finished basement, and her old sump pump was failing. She was concerned about the damage that it was causing to her home and was worried that the air quality was being compromised, so she contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists to her home to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution to fit her needs. Sarah approved of the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew got to work and installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe is backed by three layers of protection and is our most reliable sump pump. Then, the crew installed our SaniDry XP Dehumidifier to control the humidity. Sarah is glad she made the investment to protect her basement for the long-term.
