Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A Waldorf, MN, homeowner had been experiencing something odd with his basement in recent weeks. After purchasing a new home, the homeowner noticed that the basement of the home was unusually humid. Curious about the potential cause, the homeowner began his own research. After learning that a humid basement can be a sign of a leak or moisture issue, the homeowner began the search for a solution. After doing more research, he found American Waterworks. He was impressed with our product lineup and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later our Design Specialist, Dylan, was out at the home. Dylan performed his thorough inspection and then met back up with the homeowner to discuss solutions. Dylan informed the homeowner that his suspicions were correct; the basement had a water intrusion issue. He recommended our SuperSump sump pump system. Dylan explained that the SuperSump is an economical, yet effective solution to removing water from basements. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy intrusion. The homeowner was pleased with Dylan's recommendation, and the two began working on an installation date. 

Once the project was complete, the homeowner was thrilled to know that his new investment was properly defended against water intrusion! 

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.

Michael H. of Bluffton, MN had water coming in through the sidewall of his basement during rainstorms, and he wanted to get it looked at by a professional. He researched contractors on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks so he requested a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Roger. Roger went to Michael's home, carefully inspected his problem, and drew out a solution. Roger proposed our WaterGuard BelowFloor Drain, which prevents water clogs, serves as an underground drain and collects water from basement walls. Michael felt confident in the proposal, so he signed the contract and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter and in front of the steps, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, filled the open gaps with river rock, and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement was neater than when they found it.

Joe, from Bertha, MN, got in touch with us when he had enough of dealing with unwanted water intrusion in his basement. He wanted to know what could be done, so he called our office and we set him up with our FREE  estimate. A few weeks later one of our Design Specialists, Daniel, headed out the property to assess the situation. Once he concluded his walkthrough, he informed the homeowner that his sump pump was a bit outdated, meaning it wouldn't be as affective in times of heavy rainfall. He recommended the that Joe consider getting rid of the old sump and installing our super sump system. Daniel explained that our super sump is an effective and more economical solution.  It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. Joe agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman was able to place the new sump in a better location to make water collection easier. Once the job was completed, Joe was thrilled to know he no longer needed to worry about his sump pump!
