Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Norbert L. of Eau Claire, WI had water seepage into his basement, causing his walls to dampen. He saw American Waterworks on television and called our office line to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist went to his house, examined his problems and his walls, and wrote out a detailed solution. Norbert was confident in our Design Specialist's proposal and presentation, so he signed the contract, wrote out a deposit check, and went ahead with the project. 

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 prevents water clogs and serves as an underground drain. Next, our team installed our FoamMax Wall Panels, which provides comfort and saves money on energy bills, while making the walls look bright and clean. Since it is an advanced kind of foam insulation, it reduces condensation for moisture protection. To complete the project, our Foreman and his crew filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement looked much neater and brighter than when they found it. 

Not only do we perform work in basement waterproofing. We also provide services in foundation repair, crawl space repair/encapsulation, radon testing/mitigation, and concrete repair/lifting. Call us today or click HERE to request a free estimate with our Design Specialist team!

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI, was struggling with a unique issue each time it rained. The sump pump that had been placed in a downstairs closet, was taking on too much water during heavy rain, causing the excess water to spill over the top and end up on the floor. The homeowner didn't want to risk doing permanent water damage to his basement, so he began to search for sump pump companies in Minnesota. After he found our website, he decided to set up his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. 

Once Derek completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his findings. He informed her that it's not uncommon for older sump pumps to have issues during times of heavy water intrusion. Derek went on to say that he was recommending an upgrade to the current system. Derek wanted to use our TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe is the most reliable sump pump system in our lineup. During normal times, It provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. The TripleSafe boasts a powerful cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. In times of heavy volumes of water, a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 hp pump will take over, keeping the basement dry no matter how heavy the rain is. The homeowner liked the sound of Derek's plan and scheduled the work for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our team headed out to the home to install the sump pump. Led by their Foreman, Jesus C, our team installed 1 sump pump in a new location in the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy her below-ground space without worries of standing water!

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI, was heading down into her basement one day when she swore she could hear the steady, unmistakable drip of water. Immediately concerned, the homeowner leaped into action to find the source. She was shocked to discover that the water was flooding in through the basement walls. She had no idea who to contact about a basement flooding in Eau Claire, WI. She took to the internet and eventually came across our website. She was impressed with the reviews we had done in the area and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Mac C, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. After inspecting the faulty basement, he was ready to make his recommendations as to how we could help. First, Mac wanted to install our WaterGuard drainage system. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, effectively keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where other drains tend to clog. This drain works to collect water coming up through holes and cracks in the foundation and floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Mac noticed that there wasn't a means of disposal for the unwanted water and recommended our SuperSump plus sump pump, an affordable yet effective solution for unwanted water in your basement. The homeowner liked the sound of Mac's plan and signed on the spot. 

The day of the installation eventually rolled around and our Foreman, Francisco E, and his team arrived at the property bright and early. At the end of the project, the team had installed 27 ft of WaterGuard and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can confidently use her basement knowing that her water intrusion issue is in the past! 

 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.
