Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Mason City, IA, heard strange noises coming from their basement. After some investigating, the homeowner discovered the noises were coming from their sump pump. Worried this could lead to some serious issues, the homeowner wanted to find a solution and fast. The homeowner began searching for a waterproofing company that offered sump pumps. After looking into "leaky basement repair near Mason City, IA", the homeowner discovered our website. Impressed with our sump pump lineup, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and we sent one of our Iowa-based Design Specialists, Ryan, to the home to begin. Ryan arrived at the home and started his thorough investigation of the sump pump and basement. Once he wrapped up his investigation, Ryan was able to provide a solution for the homeowner. Ryan recommended replacing their current sump pump and installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. The homeowner agreed with the homeowner's recommendations, so the plans were sent to our Logistics team to build the project. Once the project was finalized, it was sent to our Foreman, Jeremiah, and his crew to begin. Jeremiah and his crew traveled to the home and began by installing WaterGuard around the basement's 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. After the TripleSafe was installed in the home, the crew shifted their focus to attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Following the CleanSpace installation, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customers' leaky basements.

During his inspection, Brady found several signs of water damage throughout the basement. Brady finished the inspection and discovered the basement was suffering from water intrusion. To stop the water intrusion from continuing, Brady recommended installing several waterproofing products.

Ann H. in Lyle, MN was suffering from a wet basement. She started looking for a local waterproofing company and she found American Waterworks’ website. After reading about our waterproofing services, she contacted us to receive a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. Mac worked closely with Ann to design a personalized plan that was the best fit for her and her home. She was pleased with the proposal that Mac presented to her, so she set a date to have our waterproofing system installed.

Our production team started the process by removing the carpet and the concrete for the WaterGuard drainage system and sump pump to be installed. The WaterGuard was laid on the perimeter of her basement and the sump pump was installed in the corner. The drainage system now properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line to be expelled from the home. Ann now has peace of mind that her basement will be a dry, clean space for years to come. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Ann is confident that she chose the right solution to protect her basement.

A Lyle, MN, homeowner was facing an issue with his basement. His old sump pump had been cycling for days, even though there had been no rain in the last few months. Exhausted of hearing the system working overtime, he began to look for sump pump repairs near him. When he found American Waterworks, he figured signing up for one of our FREE estimates couldn't do any harm. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to the home. 

Once he completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to inform him that we could address the issue using our TripleSafe sump pump. Our Design Specialist explained that the TripleSump is the most reliable pump in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe boasts a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over.  Our Design Specialist also recommended the addition of our Ultra Sump back-up system, which can pump out an excess of 11,500 gallons of water on a fully charged battery, which is enough water to fill a small swimming pool. The homeowner agreed to the work and scheduled the project for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Lane, led his team through the installation without issues. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his sump pump will take care of his basement.

Chris P. in Grafton, IA had an old sump pump and a Beaver System in his home, but he still had water leaking through the foundation into his finished basement. Unfortunately, the water had caused damaged to his drywall and flooring. He contacted American Waterworks and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, to his home to provide a permanent solution. He approved of the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew removed the damaged portion of the drywall and then removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to create a trench for our WaterGuard drainage system. They laid the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, so the water would be properly guided to our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. Then, they filled back the gaps around the WaterGuard with rock and replaced the concrete. They installed our EverLast half-wall restoration system, which includes metal studs and an inorganic, mold-resistant wall product that replaces the bottom 32" of the drywall. This is a permanent solution for water-damaged dry wall! Chris was pleased with the results and glad he can now enjoy a clean, healthy basement!
