Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Mason City, IA, was cleaning their basement when they discovered signs of water damage. Worried their basement was compromised, the homeowner knew they needed to find a professional solution. The homeowner knew their neighbors had a similar issue, so they asked them for any recommendations. The neighbor recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Brady. Brady made the short drive to the home and began his thorough inspection. During the inspection, Brady discovered several areas where water was sneaking into the home. To prevent the issue from worsening, Brady recommended installing several waterproofing products. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with his recommendations. After he received the stamp of approval from the homeowner, Brady passed the proposal along to our Logistics team to build and prepare the project. Our Logistics team gave the final stamp of approval, then scheduled the project for a few months later. The project date arrived and our Foreman, Victor, and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First, Victor and his crew began by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. Finally, the crew cleaned up the basement and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners’ peace of mind knowing their basement is dry and secure.

Kevin S. in Mason City, IA contacted American Waterworks because he was tired of dealing with standing water in his basement after heavy rains and snow melt. Being a previous customer, he knew the crew at American Waterworks would take care of him and provide the best solution. He met with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, who evaluated the situation and worked side-by-side with Kevin to create a unique plan for his home. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production crew were successfully able to waterproof Kevin’s basement by first, removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. Now, water is properly guided through the WaterGuard to the sump pump, which is then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Lastly, they completed the project with installing our Fomax Wall Insulation Panels. Foamax provides comfort and energy bill savings, while making the walls look clean and bright. Kevin's peace of mind has been restored, knowing his basement will remain dry!
