Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Jennifer E. in Rochester, MN had water leaking into her basement. She was concerned about the damage that it was causing to her home and she was worried that their air quality was compromised, so she contacted American Waterworks to receive a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mike Radosevich, to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. Mike worked closely with Jennifer to create the right waterproofing plan for her home. Jennifer liked the proposal that Mike presented to her, so she scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the wall. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Jennifer has peace of mind that she chose the right solution to protect her basement for the long-term.

Asim K. in Rochester, MN had water seeping through the walls into his basement which was starting to cause damage to his property and creating a musty smell. He started to do some research and learned that American Waterworks is the leading contractor in basement waterproofing in the region and gave us a call. We sent our Design Specialist to his home to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution to fit his needs. He approved of the plan and moved forward with the installation date. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and the production crew started the installation by removing the concrete and laying 120 feet of the WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they installed the SuperSump sump pump and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Asim is glad he made the investment to protect his home.

Ellen T. in Rochester, MN was suffering from a wet basement. She had an older home, and the foundation leaked every time it rained. She was tired of dealing with the mess, and she was concerned about mold and other possible health implications. She contacted American Waterworks, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to meet with her and develop a plan that would fit her needs. Ellen approved of the products and the waterproofing design, and she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production crew removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement to make a trench for the 160 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump in the corner, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls. Lastly, they filled back the gaps with rock, replaced the concrete, and cleaned up their work area. Water is now properly guided through the WaterGuard to the TripleSafe, and from there, it is expelled from the home. Ellen is thrilled with the results, and glad she made the investment to protect her home! 

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.

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.
