Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Delgene B. of Hutchinson, MN had water seeping in through his basement walls, causing him to worry about the safety and health of his basement and home. He found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor and Angi's List and he liked what he saw, so he scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to Delgene's home, inspected his basement and water leaks, and proposed our Foamax Wall Panels and WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain for the repairs. Delgene was confident in our products and got all of his questions answered, so he followed through with the project, and got an installation date scheduled. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production crew started the installation by breaking out the floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which serves as an underground drain, prevents mud clogs, and catches water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our Foamax Wall Panels around the wall perimeter, which is a special foam insulation that prevents water from seeping into the basement, saves money on energy costs, and gives the basement a neat and bright appearance. To finish the install, our team filled the open-floor gaps with rock and applied a new layer of concrete over them, ensuring the space was neat and clean.

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. Homeowners appreciate how quickly this system is installed because it is done with minimal removal of the slab and all of the removed concrete is restored during the installation. So, just like that, Kiko and his team covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete.

A homeowner in North Mankato, MN, noticed their basement walls were leaking water. Worried about the long-term damage this could cause, the homeowner began looking into a "leaking wall basement repair". While looking through all the options, the homeowner came across us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the perfect company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeonwer decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Lance, to the home to take a closer look. During the estimate, Lance found several areas suffering from water intrusion. Lance recommended installing an interior French drain system, WaterGuard, along the basement floor. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with his proposal. The project was scheduled, then our Foreman, Luis, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. Luis and his crew installed the WaterGuard system along the southwest corner of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew installed a feedline from the sump pump to the northwest corner of the room. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to assist its homeowners in repairing their damaged basements. 

A Mankato, MN, homeowner was growing frustrated over his back utility room. Each time the area got rain, the homeowner was faced with pooling water near the baseboard of the room. Not wanting the issue to continue, potentially damaging appliances, the homeowner decided to search for MN waterproofing companies. When he found our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan W, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Dylan completed his inspection, he was ready to make his recommendations to the homeowner. Dylan explained that because the water seemed to be entering through cracks and holes near the floor, he was recommending our WaterGuard. He explained that WaterGuard is a French drain designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. He went on to say that Installation involves removing a section of floor around the perimeter and creating a drainage trench. Sections of WaterGuard® are then placed within the trench, resting on a bed of drainage stone, and the floor is restored. Dylan finished by saying that the WaterGuard would be attached to the homeowner's existing sump pump. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Juan B, and his team ended up installing 20ft of WaterGuard throughout the space. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his appliances are safe from water intrusion!
