Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Charles City, IA, made a startling discovery, their basement had standing water. Anxious about the lasting damage this could have, the homeowners knew they needed to find a permanent solution. The homeowner looked into the "flooded basement repair near Charles City, IA", and one of the first companies to catch their eye. After they saw our ratings and reviews, the homeowners knew we were the best company for them. 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 Brian, one of our Design Specialists. Brian arrived at the home and started his thorough inspection. During the inspection, Brian found that the water was sneaking towards the edges of the wall. To stop the water intrusion from continuing, Brian recommended installing several waterproofing products. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Brian's recommendations. Next, Brian passed the plans along to the office to approve the plans. Once they were approved, they were sent to our Foreman, Diego, and his crew to begin. Diego and his crew traveled to the home and started the waterproofing project. First, Diego and his crew installed DryTrak along the basement perimeter. Once the DryTrak was installed, the crew shifted their focus to installing CleanSpace along the unfinished basement walls. After the CleanSpace was installed, the crew installed an Aprilaire to assist with the humidity issue. Deigo and his crew successfully installed all the products, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a kind review. American Waterworks is happy to assist their homeowners in repairing their struggling basements.

After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Brady, one of our Design Specialists. Brady arrived at the home and began his thorough inspection of the foundation. During his investigation, Brady confirmed the walls were bowing. To stop the bowing from continuing, Brady recommended installing GeoLock Wall Anchors on the walls. The homeowner agreed and the proposal was sent to our Logisitcs team to build the project. Once the project was finalized and scheduled, it was assigned to our Foreman, Gabriel, and his crew. Gabriel and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First, the crew made sure the walls were ready for the GeoLock Wall Anchors. Once the walls were ready, the crew installed five GeoLock Wall Anchors. After the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home.

A previous client of ours from Charles City, IA reached out to us after concerns that their sump pump wasn't keeping up with the demands of their basement and kept the basement feeling very damp.  

American Waterworks recommended installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier system to take control of the water and humidity and prevent any further heat loss.  We also installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump with battery backup to ensure that these homeowners never have to worry about a wet basement again.  

A homeowner in Altura, MN became worried about his basement when his daughter had informed him that her floors were damp. He looked into the problem himself and found exactly what she had said. Not wanting the damage to worsen if water continued to make its way into the home, he decided to find a solution. Online he found the American Waterworks company name and once he saw some of their before and after photos from past waterproofing jobs, he signed up for one of the FREE estimate appointments. The homeowner was greeted by Design Specialist Nick Skillman, who inspected the entire basement and gave his recommendations. Nick found other areas that also had some water damage and he suggested that the whole basement be waterproofed. The homeowner agreed and wanted to move forward with the plan for installations. One of our Foremen, Arturo Mares, and his crew later went to the site to install the WaterGuard basement drainage system. WaterGuard works to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away safely to the pump. The homeowner was so glad that a solution had been found and that he no longer had to worry about water entering the space.

Nancy K. in Riceville, IA was fed up with the water seeping into her basement. It was making the space damp and musty, and she was concerned about the health implications. She contacted us for a FREE estimate after seeing one of our commercials on TV. We sent our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, to meet with Nancy, evaluate the situation, and propose a customized solution for her home. She approved of the plan and moved forward with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production crew got to work and began the waterproofing project by first removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement to make a trench for our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump, spray foam insulation in the rim joists, and Foamax insulated panels on the walls. They completed the project with the installation of our SaniDry XP dehumidifier to take care of any humidity. The combination of these waterproofing products ensure Nancy’s basement will stay healthy, clean, and dry!
