Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Chris P.'s finished basement walls were wet, damaged and moldy due to water failure and moisture problems. He called American Waterworks to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. After a thorough diagnosis, Chris was comfortable with Dylan's proposal so he set up an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team installed 156 feet of our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain and collects basement wall leaks. Next, our team installed 110 feet of our 32" tall EverLast Half-Wall Restoration, which is an inorganic, mold-resistant wall product that replaces the bottom 32 inches of a home's drywall and will protect any basement from flooding. Chris was ecstatic and grateful we were able to help him with his home repair needs!

A Hayfield, MN,  homeowner was in the process of upgrading his basement when he had the idea to add a bedroom to the space. He was worried that this bedroom wouldn't be up to code because of the improper means of egress, so he decided to find a contractor who specialized in this area. He had previous work foundation work done by American Waterworks, and decided to give us a call for another FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialists were scheduled to stop at the home. 

When our Design Specialist arrived, he launched right into his inspection, meeting with the customer when he had finished. He informed the homeowner that he recommended our RockWell egress window well, explaining that RockWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust, and rot-proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. RockWell’s egress window wells feature durable, built-in steps that make it easy for your family to escape from your basement in the event of an emergency. We also offer safety ladders for our Premier series window wells. The homeowner liked the sound of our plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor S, and his team worked tirelessly to install the products. When they had finished, our customer was happy to know that American Waterworks had helped him restore his peace of mind in his home once again!  

Jordan P in Austin, MN was suffering from water leaking into his basement during heavy rains. He wanted to have his basement repaired as soon as possible, so he started looking for a waterproofing contractor. He found the American Waterworks website and was happy to see that we offer FREE estimates. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to his home to inspect his basement and provide him with a solution. Pete designed a thorough plan that was specific to Jordan’s waterproofing needs, and Jordan decided to move forward with the installation of our waterproofing system.

Our production crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system into the concrete floor and connected it to a TripleSafe sump pump, which is our most reliable sump pump. The TripleSafe is backed by three layers of protection which includes a battery backup that can pump out 11,500 gallons of water on a full charge. The water leaking into Jordan’s basement is now properly guided through the WaterGuard drainage system into the sump pump. From there, the water gets pushed through the discharge line to the outside of the home. Jordan is glad he chose a system that will protect his basement for the long-term.

A homeowner in Austin, MN called American Waterworks because she was getting water in the basement.  As the temperature was warming up and the snow was melting, water was pooling in the homeowner's basement. We got them set up for a free estimate to solve their water issue. Our design specialist came up with a personalized plan for the homeowner. The homeowner was confident in the resolution so they signed the proposal and got set up a date to start. 

On the day of the installation our crew arrived and began work. They started the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard, which is an interior drainage system that prevents mud clogs and collects water leakage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is designed to prevent water from seeping through the walls and save money on energy costs.  To finish up the project, our crew filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete over them, ensuring the space was neater and cleaner than they found it.

A follow-up call was made to the homeowner and they were very satisfied with the work that was done. The homeowner stated that the crew did a great job, was very clean and efficient. 

Tara from Austin, MN started to notice that her basement walls were experiencing moisture. This concerned Tara since the vapor and moisture were affecting the foundation of her home. She then contacted the Appointment center and proceeded to claim her FREE estimate which entitles her to a home inspection by one of our Design Specialists. Once scheduled our Design Specialist then attended Tara's property and began a thorough home inspection. After a careful inspection, our Design Specialist suggested to Tara that she should invest in a CleanSpace Wall System. Tara felt comfortable with the solution and scheduled the date of installation. 

One of our Foreman and their Production team then proceeded to install the CleanSpace wall System around the perimeter of the basement. Our CleanSpace Wall System is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners so it never falls. It also prevents any humidity from invading the walls and gives the basement and clean and bright appearance with a 25-year-warranty. Tara was satisfied with the outcome, and was happy she no longer had to worry about her basement walls being moist or damaged!
