Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Billy K. in Mason City, IA contacted American Waterworks because he had water leaking through his foundation walls, and he was interested in installing a sump pump and a water drainage system. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to meet with him, evaluate the situation, and propose a custom solution for his home. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his crew got to work and removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and through the middle of the floor for the feed line. Next, they laid our WaterGuard drainage system and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump in the corner. Then, they installed our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier along the walls to protect the space from moisture and mold. Billy was impressed with the project, and glad he can now enjoy a dry, clean basement! 

David A. in Mason City, IA contacted American Waterworks after he saw our advertisement in the newspaper. Water was seeping into his basement during heavy rainfalls, and it was creating a damp and musty space. He was concerned about the health implications, and it was starting to cause damage to his property. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to meet with David and propose a custom designed solution for his home. David approved of the plan and moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our SuperSump sump pump in the corner. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. David is happy with the finished project and glad he made the investment to protect his home! 

Wilma S. in Mason City, IA contacted American Waterworks after being referred by a previous satisfied customer. Wilma had water seeping into her basement where the floor met the wall. It was starting to cause damage to her property, and she wanted a permanent solution. She met with one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, who evaluated the situation and developed a unique plan to keep Wilma’s basement dry. She approved of the presentation and moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying 104 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system. Our WaterGuard system is made with an anti-clog design, collects leaking water from walls, and includes a written lifetime warranty. Next, the crew installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. Wilma is happy with the finished project, and glad she chose a permanent solution. 

Alanna D. of Mason City, IA had leaking basement walls, causing her to worry about water moisture and mold. She went to her local home show and saw our booth, presenting our basement waterproofing products. She talked to our Design Specialist, Ryan, who was running the show, and scheduled a FREE estimate. Ryan went to her home, carefully inspected her water problems, and drew out a solution that would repair her basement and peace of mind. She was confident in Ryan's proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor where the floor and wall meet, forming a trench. Inside the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is the most common interior drainage system that we provide for homeowners because of its easily accessible service ports, its ability to prevent water clogs, and its design to collect water from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity, and saves money on energy costs. To finish the installation, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and added new concrete over them. Alanna was happy with the work that was done, and had a great experience! 

Lynn and Janet P. of Mason City, IA had a wet basement and they wanted to get it waterproofed before it got any worse. They got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully examined their basement, and diagnosed the issues that they were having. Our Design Specialist drew up a couple of solutions that Lynn and Janet could choose and differentiate between. They got all of their questions answered about the proposal that they liked, so they went ahead and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by jackhammering out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a drainage trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which prevents water clogs, collects water leakage from walls, and has easily accessible service ports in case of a service call or check-up on the system. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is made to prevent humidity and mold build-up, serve as a protective and energy-efficient blanket, and cover any holes or divots in the foundation. To complete the installation, our Foreman and his team filled the open gaps with rock and applied a new layer of concrete over them, ensuring the space looked neater than when they found it.
