Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Dan C. in Pepin, WI had severe water problems in the basement of his old farmhouse. Water was coming through the sandstone walls as well as the concrete floor. He contacted the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus to inspect his home and develop the right solution for his basement. He was pleased with the solution we recommended, so he scheduled to have our waterproofing system installed as soon as possible.

Our production crew removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor as well as a thin line of concrete through the middle of the floor. They laid our WaterGuard drainage system, a lateral line, and a TripleSafe sump pump and then filled back the gaps in the floor with rock before replacing the concrete. Then, they installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the basement walls to keep moisture out and prevent from potential mold growth. Dan was pleased with the result and is now enjoying a dry, clean basement!

In Nora Springs, IA a homeowner was unhappy with the state of her basement. She had recently been down in the space which was when she noticed some water pooled up on the floor. Not wanting the problem to get worse and to prevent further damage, she decided to look into getting a quality waterproofing system installed. Her neighbor had used American Waterwork's services in the past and they had done an effective job, so she figured they would also be able to help her basement space. She called our office and set up a FREE estimate appointment with one of our Design Specialists, Brady Swenson. Brady arrived at the home and carried out an inspection of the basement area and prepared his recommendations. The homeowner was pleased with the plans and scheduled a date for the products to be installed. When Foreman Raul Barroso and his crew arrived at the site to install the WaterGuard perimeter drain system, they began by jackhammering channels along the floor and filling it with drainage stone. They then placed the WaterGuard system on top followed by more clean stone and a layer of concrete to hold everything in place. The homeowner was so happy with the results and to have a water-free basement space again.

A homeowner in Nora Springs, IA, was inspecting their basement following a heavy rain and they noticed several water damage spots throughout. Extremely concerned about the long-term effects it would have on their home, the homeowner knew they needed to find a long-term solution. During the hunt for the perfect waterproofing company, the homeowner came across our website and saw our impressive reviews and ratings. After seeing our amazing ratings, the homeowner knew we were the best option for them and their home. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Brian, to take a closer look. Brian arrived at the home, introduced himself to the homeowner, and began his thorough investigation of the foundation. During his inspection, Brian confirmed the basement was suffering from water intrusion and needed to be fully waterproofed. Brian presented his proposal to the homeowner and they agreed with his suggestions. Next, Brian passed the plans along to the office, so the project could be built. After the project was built, Raul and his crew traveled to the home to begin the waterproofing installation. First, Raul and his crew began by installing WaterGuard around the entire perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew dug a feedline across the basement floor. Next, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. After the sump pump was replaced, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to ensure its customers' basements are properly waterproofed.

A homeowner in Arkansaw, WI, was worried their foundation was suffering after discovering the walls were damp. Instead of letting the issue worsen, the homeowners knew they needed to get professional assistance. After doing some quick research, the homeowner's eye was caught by our high reviews and ratings. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the appointment was made, they sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete, to the home. Pete arrived and he began his detailed inspection. Following his inspection, Pete recommended that a small section of the basement be fully waterproofed. The homeowner agreed with Pete's recommendations and the plans were sent back to the office for approval. Once they were approved, they were sent to our Foreman, Francisco, and his crew. When they arrived, Francisco and his crew started by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the small room. Once the WaterGuard was secured into place, the crew shifted their focus to installing CleanSpace on the basement walls. After the CleanSpace was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their water intrusion risk was eliminated.

Bill F. of Rose Creek, MN had water leaking into his basement so he called American Waterworks to set up a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Kevin Beseman, went to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Bill was comfortable with the proposal so him and Kevin set up an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his production team began the installation by cutting out the concrete perimeter of the basement to install our WaterGuard System, designed to collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter of the basement, made to prevent mold and humidity development. Then, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System which provides three levels of water protection. To complete the project, Jeromy and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Bill was very satisfied with the work and had a great experience with both Kevin and Jeromy!
