Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Osage, IA had some concerns about the old sump pump in her utility room because she had checked it recently and noticed there was waste inside. She knew this wasn't a good sign, so she went online in hopes of finding a waterproofing service in her area. The American Waterworks company website stood out to her because of our 3 sump pump system and FREE no-obligation estimates, so she signed up for her own. One of our Service Technicians, Julio Murillo, later arrived at the home to inspect the current sump pump and prepare his recommendation. Julio suggested that our TripleSafe sump pump system be installed because it is the most reliable water pumping system with triple the protection of a normal pump. The homeowner was relieved to hear that something could be done and agreed to the installation. Later, one of our Foremen, Diego Barrientos, went to the site to carry out the installation. The homeowner was impressed with the work our team members did and glad she had contacted us for help on this project.

Heather C. Of Durand, WI had water leaking from the walls of her basement, causing her to worry about water moisture and mold build-up. She called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Dustin. Dustin went to her home, carefully inspected her problems, and drew up a solution that worked for her needs and budget. Heather got all of her questions answered and was confident in Dustin's proposal, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Raul, 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 and mud clogs, collect all water seepage from basement walls, and serve as an underground drain in coordination with the sump pump. Next, Raul and his team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and mildew and gives the basement a clean and neat appearance. To complete the project, our team covered the open floor gaps with pea gravel and applied new gravel over them. Heather was happy with the work that was completed and had a great experience!

Rita H. in Rockford, IA was tired of dealing with a wet basement after every heavy rain and snow melt. It was starting to cause damage to her home, and she knew she needed to find a permanent solution. She contacted American Waterworks, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to meet with her and propose a unique solution for her home. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew installed 112 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement, and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump in the corner. Water is now properly guided through the WaterGuard to the sump pump, and from there, it is expelled from the home. Rita was happy with the results, and glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her home. 

Brent B. of Stewartville, MN wanted to have an Egress Window installed. They found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so they scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jesse, went to Brent's house, carefully inspected her window, and proposed a quote for the job. Brent was confident in the proposal, so he went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Jose C., and his crew excavated the soil around the foundation, broke out the foundation wall, and installed our Egress Window and RockWell Window Well. Our Egress Windows are designed to allow a safe exit out of the home, provide a more inviting entrance to the basement, and bring in more fresh air. Our RockWell Window Well is a one-piece construction that is made for safety and is a great alternative to ugly window windows. To complete the project, our crew backfilled and compacted the soil, ensuring the space was neater and cleaner than when they found it.
