Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Pine Island, MN, was unhappy with the status of their basement. Unsure where the water was sneaking in, the homeowner knew they needed a professional opinion. A couple of years prior, the homeowner had us complete a FREE estimate at their home. Instead of reaching out to a new company, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center and signed up for another FREE estimate. We sent Rick, one of our Design Specialists, to the home to evaluate the basement. Rick arrived and began his thorough inspection of the basement. Following his inspection, Rick recommended updating the basement waterproofing products. After deliberating, the homeowner decided this was the best route to take. The plans were sent to our Foreman, Lane, and his crew. Once they arrived, Lane and the crew installed the WaterGuard around the entire perimeter of the basement. After installing the WaterGuard, the crew attached CleanSpace to the basement walls. Additionally, the old sump pump was replaced with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. On the outside, the crew attached the IceGuard to the discharge line. After all the products were properly installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with their waterproofing transformation. American Waterworks is happy to secure another home's basement. 

Heather M. in Ionia, IA had a sump pump that was unable to keep up with the amount of water that needed to be discharged from her basement. Water had started pooling on her basement floor and she knew she needed to seek help from a professional waterproofing company before more damage occurred. She found American Waterworks’ website and was happy to see that we offer free estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Mike Radosevich, to her home to evaluate her situation and find a solution for her. Mike discussed her needs, answered her questions, and developed a thorough plan to waterproof her basement. She was happy with the proposal Mike developed, so they set a date for the installation.

Our team installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of her basement, which led to the new TripleSafe sump pump that we installed. The TripleSafe has three layers of protection, so Heather can rest easy knowing that her sump pump will not fail her this time. Once the water is guided to the sump pump, it is then pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our team also installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier which protects the walls from water seeping in and the potential growth of mold. The combination of these waterproofing solutions ensure that Heather’s basement will now be a clean, dry and livable space for many years to come!

Loretta K. of Independence, WI had water seeping through her basement cracks. She did some research on our website and filled out our FREE Estimate online form. Our Design Specialist, Charles Haldeman, went to her home to inspect the water problem and come up with a solution. Loretta was comfortable with his proposal, so she set up an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production team started the installation by cutting out the concrete perimeter of the basement, forming a trench. Next, our team applied 86 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the basement walls, which is made to prevent mold and humidity problems and gives the room a clean and bright appearance. Next, our crew installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and acts as an underground drain. Lastly, Dylon and his installed out SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump in the corner. Our sump pumps are made to pump water out fast and efficiently while keeping basements dry for many years. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with rock and re-applied new concrete. Loretta was extremely satisfied with the work and her peace of mind is restored! 

Shonna L. in Rollingstone, MN had water seeping into her basement and her old sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water coming in. Her basement had become a damp, musty and unlivable space. She was tired of dealing with a wet basement, so she started to research waterproofing contactors in her area. She found the American Waterworks’ website and was impressed by our extensive waterproofing knowledge. She had us out to her home to look at her basement and provide her with a free estimate. After inspecting her basement, our Design Specialist, Dustin Loftus, was able to develop a thorough and unique plan to waterproof her basement. She was pleased with his proposal, so they set a date for our production crew to install the waterproofing system.

Our production team started the installation by removing the old sump pump and the concrete around the perimeter of her basement where the WaterGuard drainage system needed to be laid. They installed our TripleSafe sump pump, which is our most reliable sump pump. The WaterGuard properly guides the water leaking into her basement to the sump pump. Then, they replaced the concrete over the drainage system and around the sump pump. From there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Shonna can rest easy knowing her basement will always be protected. She is glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her home.

Janet S. of Rollingstone, MN had water leaking throughout her entire basement, making her feel nervous and unsafe living in her own home. A friend of hers referred American Waterworks for the repairs, so she called our office line and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Fox. Eric went to her home, inspected the problems, and came up with a solution that fit her needs and budget. Janet was confident with Eric's presentation and proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Edgar Miranda, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. He also broke out a trench down the middle of the basement to form a feed line. The feed line serves as a guide for water to get to the sump pump. In the perimeter trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which prevents water clogs, serves as an underground drain, and collects water leaking from basement walls. Then, Edgar and his crew installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and humidity, and acts as an extra wall protectant. It also gives the room a neat and clean appearance. To complete the project, our crew filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete. Janet was happy with the work that was completed and had a remarkable experience!
