Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Jackson, MN, previously had work completed by American Waterworks. They knew it was time to schedule their annual maintenance appointment, so they called our Appointment Center to schedule theirs. Our Appointment Specialist scheduled their appointment, and sent one of our Service Technicians, Darin, to the home. Darin arrived at the home and began his maintenance investigation. After Darin checked on our previous work, he noticed that the homeowner's sump pump was run down and there were signs of water seepage. Darin notified the homeowner of his discovery and provided them with a recommended plan. Knowing we do excellent work, the homeowner agreed with Darin's suggestions. The plans were sent to our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew. Once Kiko and his crew arrived at the home, they began by installing the WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. The WaterGuard is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. After the WaterGuard was secured, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. The SuperSump+ is designed to keep basements dry and healthy for long periods of time. After the SuperSump+ was secured into place, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the wonderful work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Jackson, MN, knew it was time to repair their water-damaged basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. Knowing they could not repair the issue themselves, the homeowner began looking into "basement waterproofing near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Rayn. A few weeks later, Ryan traveled to the home to begin the inspection. Ryan confirmed that water was seeping near the edges of the basement. To prevent this issue from worsening, Ryan recommended waterproofing the space. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Ryan to schedule the best installation date. Once the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Luis, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Luis and his crew installed WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Next, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customers' water-damaged basements. 

A homeowner in Lamberton, MN was experiencing unstable foundation walls and water seeping into her basement. She had read about American Waterworks in the newspaper and decided to reach out to us. Shortly after she contacted us, our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, went onsite to give her a free estimate. He developed a thorough plan to waterproof and stabilize her basement.

To waterproof her basement, we installed a full perimeter of WaterGuard which drains the water properly to the TripleSafe sump pump. We also installed Foamax wall insulation which creates a warmer, brighter basement while preventing wall condensation.

To stabilize her basement, we installed 10 PowerBraces against the walls to secure the foundation.

Gene and Sharon B. of Granite Falls, MN had a wet basement, causing him to worry about damage to property and other water problems. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to their home, carefully inspected their basement, and drew out a plan that worked for them and their home repair needs. They were confident in Ryan's proposal and they got all of their questions answered so they moved forward with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which prevents water and mud clogs, collects water leakage from basement walls, and serves as an underground drain. Next, Matt and his team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and mildew, cover any holes or divots, and give the basement a bright and clean appearance. To finish the installation, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the space was cleaner than when they found it. Gene and Sharon were happy with the project and couldn't believe the transformation from beginning to end! 

Not only do we waterproof basements. We also provide services in foundation repair, crawl space repair/encapsulation, radon testing/mitigation, egress windows, and concrete repair/lifting. Call us today or click HERE to request your free estimate!

A homeowner in Wahpeton, ND, heard an unusual noise coming from their basement. Concerned by this discovery, the homeowner knew they needed to do some additional investigating. After taking a closer look, the homeowner discovered the sound was coming from their sump pump. The homeowner knew this was not a good sign, so they began searching for a solution. After doing some looking, the homeowner came across our impressive sump pump lineup. Since they were already on the website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. After the appointment was set, we sent out one of our Design Specialists, James, to the home to see the issue. James saw that the sump pump needed to be replaced, so he notified the homeowner of his findings. James suggested installing a new sump pump and additional waterproofing products. After some deliberating, the homeowner agreed. Once they received the stamp of approval, James directed the plans to the office. The office prepared the plans and directed them to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew were assigned to complete the project. Once they arrived, Kingsley and his crew started by digging a channel and placing the WaterGuard. Once the WaterGuard was in place, the crew placed the SuperSump+ near the new WaterGuard line. Next, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Finally, the crew attached an IceGuard to the outside discharge line. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved knowing they had the best sump pump in their home. American Waterworks is happy to assist its homeowners with the best waterproofing products.
