Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Nathan S. of Monona, IA had water leaking into his basement and his basement ceiling was sagging. To save the life of his home, he called American Waterworks to schedule a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, went to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After an in-depth diagnosis, Nathan scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production team began the installation by installing four of our SmartJacks down the center of the basement to raise the sagging ceiling. Next, our crew broke out the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to form a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, made to collect water seepage from the walls. Lastly, Kiko and his team applied our CleanSpace Wall System, made to keep mold and humidity away from the basement. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the pre-existing concrete. Nathan was amazed with the work, and was thankful we were able to safe the life and stability of his home!

Sue P. of De Soto, WI had severe water seepage in her basement, so she gave American Waterworks a call to see what we could do to help her. We sent out our Design Specialist, Eric Fox, for a Free Estimate to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough and detailed diagnosis, Sue was content with Eric's proposal, so she went ahead and got an installation date scheduled. 

Our foreman, Crescencio Pena, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete around the perimeter of the basement. Next, they applied 182 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the basement wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace acts as a wall vapor barrier and prevents mold or humidity from invading the concrete walls. Then, our team applied 182 feet of stone thin concrete around the tops of the CleanSpace to make sure it was extra secure. Then, Crescencio and his crew installed 182 feet of WaterGuard in the broken-out concrete. Our WaterGuard acts as a drainage system; it prevents water clogs and collects the water waste from beneath the CleanSpace. To complete the basement, Crescencio and his team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Sue was very pleased with the project, and was thankful we were able to help her save the life of her home!

A homeowner in Waterville, IA, was in the process of renovating their home. Since they were completing all sorts of renovations, the homeowner decided they wanted to have their basement fully waterproofed. Unsure who to work with, the homeowners began looking into basement waterproofing companies closest to them. One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best company for their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Desing Specialist, Ryan. Ryan traveled to Waterville, IA, to begin the investigation. After Ryan's inspection, he confirmed the basement needed to be fully waterproofed. Additionally, Ryan recommended stabilizing the sagging floors. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's recommendations, so he passed the proposal along to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Next, the project was assigned to our Foreman, Luis, and his crew to begin. Luis and his crew started the project by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Next, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Finally, the crew completed the project by installing SmartJacks along the sagging floors. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the wonderful transformation completed by the crew. American Waterwork is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is secured. 

Martin D. in Lansing, IA has a two-story home with a walk-in basement built into a steep hillside. His home was built right next to the Mississippi River. They have had problems with their basement flooding for several years, especially during heavy rains. They were tired of dealing with a wet basement, so they contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mike Radosevich, went to the home to inspect the basement and provide them with the right solution. After meeting with Mike, Martin felt confident in our company and our products, so he chose to have our waterproofing system installed. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor, a TripleSafe sump pump in the corner, and a SaniDry dehumidifier, which keeps the humidity in the basement under control. The drainage system guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is expelled from the home through the discharge line. Martin is happy with the outcome and has been able to enjoy a dry, healthier basement since the installation!
