Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In Clear Lake, IA, a homeowner was experiencing a bowing foundation wall and water leaks along their floor. Concerned that the issue would worsen without a long-term solution, the homeowner began looking into contractors in the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming highly impressed by our reviews and before-and-after photos, the homeowner knew we would be the right company for their home repair journey. They soon contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dylan W., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Dylan took note of the horizontal crack that was visible along the foundation wall. He also spotted the areas where water leaks were present. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Dylan began working on a detailed solution to waterproof the basement and repair the foundation. To stabilize the foundation, he recommended installing GeoLock, our wall anchor system that redirects the pressure against the foundation to stable soil. To waterproof the basement, Dylan recommended WaterGuard, our interior perimeter drainage system that directs water leaks to the sump system, Foamax, our wall insulator that prevents the buildup of moisture, TripleSafe, our extremely reliable sump system with three levels of protection, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge system that allows water to escape from the sump pump during freezing temperatures to prevent sump burnout. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Juan P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 7 GeoLock wall anchors, 118ft of WaterGuard, 96ft of Foamax, 1 TripleSafe, and 2 IceGuards.

A homeowner in Clear Lake, IA, noticed their basement was suffering from water intrusion. Worried this was going to seriously impact their basement, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Brady. A few days later, Brady promptly arrived at the home and started the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Brady confirmed the basement was suffering from several water intrusion issues. To prevent the water issues from continuing, Brady suggested securing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Brady to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Raul, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Raul and his crew began by securing WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. After both of the products were secured, the crew shifted to cleaning up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.

Sheral in Clear Lake, IA was suffering from a wet, musty basement. After learning about the services our company offers, she scheduled an appointment with one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, to receive a FREE estimate. Dylan walked her through her options and answered her questions and concerns. She was pleased with the thorough plan that Dylan created, so she decided to have our waterproofing system installed.

One of our Foremen, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew installed 43 ft. of our WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of her basement floor. They connected the drainage system to her SuperSump sump pump that we installed. The WaterGuard properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Lastly, they installed Foamax basement wall panels, which made the basement a bright and comfortable space. The Foamax wall panels insulate her basement and provide her with savings on her energy bill. Sheral is pleased with the transformation and is confident that her basement will remain dry!

Mark S. in Clear Lake, IA had an old, failing sump pump that was unable to keep up with the water seeping into his home. He was concerned about the air quality of his home, and he knew that he needed to address the problem. As a previous satisfied customer, Mark knew that American Waterworks was more than capable of the job. 

Our production crew installed our SuperSump sump pump and our SaniDry dehumidifier. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour out of the basement. The SaniDry has a powerful blowing motor that circulates dry air throughout the space, aggressively drying out the basement and controlling humidity. Mark was happy with the process, and glad his basement is now a dry and healthy space. 

Judy P. of Clear Lake, IA had water leaking through the cracked walls of her basement, making her question the stability of her home. After doing some research online, she came across American Waterworks waterproofing and foundation repair products. She called our office and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to her home, inspected the problem, and came up with a solution. Judy was comfortable with Ryan's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his production crew began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement, forming a trench. Next, our team applied 102 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold, mildew, and humidity build-up, and gives the room a clean and bright appearance. Then, our crew installed 11 of our foundation repair PowerBraces around the wall perimeter, which are made to stabilize basement walls and straighten them out over time. Lastly, our crew installed 102 feet of our WaterGuard System in the formed trench. Our WaterGuard acts as an underground drain and transports water to the sump pump. To complete the installation, Jeromy and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Judy had a remarkable experience from start to finish and was grateful we were able to assist her and her home repair needs!
