Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Minot, ND had water leaking from their bowing foundation walls, causing them to worry about damage and the structural support of their home. They got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with one of our Design Specialists. He went to the homeowner's home, carefully examined the problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. The homeowner got all of their questions answered and was confident in the products and their warranties, so they went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is made to prevent water or mud clogs, collect water seepage from basement walls, and serve as a drain that connects to the sump pump. Next, our team installed and tightened our PowerBraces against the foundation walls, which are made to straighten bowing walls over time. To complete the project, our Foreman and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete over it. The homeowner was happy with the repairs and was thrilled with the transformation!

Lauren, a homeowner in Richardton, ND, wanted some support in the basement space of her home. She was afraid that if the issues of damp spaces and musty smells were left unresolved, she would run the risk of doing serious damage to her basement. When she called in, we set her up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended how we could help. Lauren was confident in the plan, and an installation date was set. 

First, our Foreman Dylan and his team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump. Next, to direct water away from the home's foundation so that it would not leak back into the basement, the team added a discharge line from the North end of the basement near the sump system and out into the yard. 

We also installed the patented IceGuard® system, an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of your home and ejects water away from the foundation if the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know that the basement had been transformed, and she no longer had to worry about water intrusion! 

Lonnie, from Des Lacs, ND was beginning to notice that his basement was taking on an unusual amount of water. He didn't want to run the risk of doing permanent damage to the property, so he decided to give us a call. We set him up with our FREE estimate and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property to complete his inspection. Once he finished his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how we could help Lonnie. Richie recommended two of our products. First, he wanted to use our Foamax insulated panels. He explained to Lonnie that our Foamax makes your basement warmer and brighter. The panels create a barrier between the moist air in your basement and the cold surface of the walls, preventing condensation and providing a more comfortable basement. Second, Richie wanted to use our WaterGuard below-floor French drain system. Richie went on to say that this drain gets installed below the floor of the basement, atop of the footing of the foundation, but out of the mud zone where other drains tend to clog.  He finished by saying that this drain will work to collect unwanted water running down the wall and dispose of it in the proper place. Lonnie agreed with the recommendations and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman and his team worked to install all the necessary products. In the end, they installed 192 ft of WaterGuard and another 192 ft of Foamax throughout the basement. Once the job was done, Lonnie was pleased to know he no longer had to worry about a damp basement! 

A customer from Dickinson, ND, was in the market to upgrade their existing window well to be code-compliant basement egress. Unsure of where to start, the homeowner began to do some research about companies in the area performing that kind of work and came across our company. When they decided to give us a call, we set them up with our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his recommendation. Richie wanted to use our RockWell egress window. He explained that our RockWell window well offers an attractive alternative to other window wells while providing a safe, and code-compliant means of egress. Our customer agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Juan, and his team installed the new window well quickly and efficiently. Now our customer can use their basement without fear that their space isn't up to the safety code. 

A homeowner in Manning, ND, was checking on their basement following a heavy rainstorm. To their surprise, the homeowner discovered the basement was suffering from water intrusion. Worried about the long-term effects, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. The homeowner researched "waterproofing basements near Manning, ND" and one of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner reviewed our reviews and was impressed with our services, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ian, to the home to take a closer look at the basement. During his investigation, Ian found that the basement was suffering from water intrusion and needed to be repaired. Ian was able to provide the homeowner with a solution that would prevent further water intrusion. After reviewing Ian's proposal, the homeowner knew it was the best option for their home. Once it was given the final stamp of approval by our Logistics team, the proposal was passed along to our Foreman, Roel, and his crew to begin. Roel and his crew traveled to the home and started the waterproofing project. First, Roel and his crew began by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. Once the SuperSump+ was installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the transformation by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is properly waterproofed.
