Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

 A homeowner in Greene, IA, had a hunch to check their basement following a heavy thunderstorm. Once they went downstairs, their worries were confirmed. The homeowner discovered several wet walls throughout the basement. Knowing they needed to solve the issue immediately, the homeowner began looking into "Iowa basement repair". Only one company caught their eye, American Waterworks, so they took a closer look into our company and what we offer. The homeowner was impressed with our services and products, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Nate. As soon as Nate arrived, he began inspecting the struggling basement and concrete. During his investigation, Nate discovered one wall was the main issue. Nate recommended waterproofing the eastern corner of the basement. The homeowner agreed with Nate's suggestions, so he passed the plans along to the office to be approved. After the office approved, they were directed to our Foreman, Jose, and his crew. Once they arrived at the home, Jose and his crew began the project by installing WaterGuard in the eastern corner of the basement. Next, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. Next, the crew installed and placed the Aprilaire E100 where the old dehumidifier was located. Finally, the crew shifted their focus outside and attached an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted to know their basement was properly waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement was fully waterproofed. 

Two homeowners in Orchard, IA had water present in their basement, causing them to worry about the value of their home. Our production team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier to repair the issues. Our WaterGuard is a special underground drain that stops water and mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. It works very efficiently with the sump pump to pump water out of the home. Our CleanSpace is known for its ability to prevent mud and humidity growth, act as an extra wall protectant, and reduce the costs of energy bills.

The homeowners were very satisfied with the results and had a great experience from start to finish! Is water present in your basement? Look no further and call American Waterworks today to schedule your FREE estimate! 

Diane P. in Chippewa Falls, WI had water leaking into her basement. She was concerned about the damage that it was causing to her home and was worried that the air quality was compromised, so she contacted American Waterworks to receive a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. Shane worked closely with Diane to create the right waterproofing plan for her home. She approved of the proposal and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the wall. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, and Diane is glad she made the investment to protect her home.

Deanna H. of Chippewa Falls, WI had water leaking into her basement and she wanted to get it inspected as soon as possible. She got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Charles Haldeman. Charles went to her home, inspected her problems, and came up with a solution. Deanna was comfortable with the presentation, products, and warranties, so she scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, 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 is made to collect water seepage from basement walls and act like an underground drainage system. Next, our team installed our FoamMax Wall Panels, which is a foam insulation panel with a white foil on the front and foil vapor barrier on the back. This wall insulation makes the basement much warmer, makes it brighter, and it can be left exposed. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Deanna was satisfied with the project, and appreciated all efforts involved!
