Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Glencoe, MN, had been suffering from a damp basement for some time. She no longer wanted to deal with the problem and decided to find a basement waterproofing company near Glencoe, MN. Through extensive internet searches, the homeowner quickly found our website and signed up for her FREE estimate. 

A few weeks later, Eric H, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. When Eric finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Eric recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the walls of the basement, functioning to direct water entering through the wall, downward, and into a perimeter drain, our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, giving the water entering down from the CleanSpace, and coming up from the floor, a channel to flow freely to a pre-installed sump system. The homeowner was thrilled with Eric's explanation and solution and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Jesus C, and his crew were out at the home. At the end of the project, our team effortlessly installed 136 sqft of CleanSpace, and 136 sqft of WaterGuard. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her basement is properly defended against unwanted water! 

A homeowner in Alden, MN was in his basement space when he noticed something off at the base of the walls. Upon investigation, he found some of the floor areas to be slightly damp and had already faced water damage. He knew that finding a solution sooner than later would be the best decision for his basement, and he began his searching. He looked for Minnesota basement waterproofing companies and found the American Waterworks website. The homeowner was interested in our FREE estimate appointments and decided to sign up for his own to learn more about our services. When one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, arrived at the home, he carried out an analysis of the basement and took note of where the water had entered the basement. He informed the homeowner that waterproofing the basement would be the best way to stop current incoming water and prevent future water problems. The homeowner agreed to the plans and was later greeted by our Foreman, Lane Schlobohm, and his crew. The crew installed our WaterGuard system around the perimeter of the basement and placed CleanSpace wall vapor barrier over the walls to waterproof the space. The homeowner felt good about his decision to contact us and was happy with the final results.

Dennis M. was suffering from water leaking into his basement during heavy rains. He was tired of dealing with this every time there was a storm, so a friend recommended that he contact American Waterworks. He called us to receive a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to inspect his wet basement and design a solution. Jeremy worked with Dennis to develop a unique plan for his specific needs. Dennis liked the proposal and felt that he was in good hands with American Waterworks, so he moved forward with waterproofing his basement.

Our team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and lateral lines that connect the drainage system to the sump pump. When water leaks into his basement, it is now properly guided through the WaterGuard, to the sump pump, and then the water is pumped through the discharge line to the outside of the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Dennis is glad he chose a permanent solution to protect his basement from water.

John of Conger, MN had water leaking through his bowing foundation walls and needed repair done right away. After seeing American Waterworks on channel 3 KIMT TV News, he called our office to schedule a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist went to his home to inspect the problems and come up with a solution. John felt comfortable with the proposal so he went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, which is an underground drain that collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our SuperSump Sump Pump which is designed to keep basements dry for long periods of time. Next, our crew applied our CleanSpace Wall System around the basement walls which is a plastic vapor barrier that prevents mold and humidity build-up and serves as an extra protectant. Lastly, Hugo and our team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabilize and straighten the walls back into their normal positions. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. John's peace of mind was restored and he felt much more safe and comfortable living in his own home!

Pell J. in Madison Lake, MN had water leaking into his basement. He was concerned about the air quality in their home and the damage that the water was causing. He saw an advertisement in his local newspaper for American Waterworks, so he decided to call us for a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists went to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. We recommended that he have our full waterproofing system installed in his basement to ensure that his basement would be permanently waterproofed. Pell liked the proposal that we presented to him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they laid the WaterGuard drainage system and installed the sump pump. 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. The installation took our crew one full day, and Pell will now be able to enjoy a dry basement for many years to come. He is glad he chose to invest in the protection of his home.
