Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A New Richland, MN, homeowner was facing an issue. Each time there was rain in his area, his basement would fall victim to water intrusion. He didn't want to deal with the problem anymore but wasn't sure how to go about fixing it. One day he found himself at a home show in Owatonna, MN, and as he was wandering through the rows of vendors, he met our Design Specialist, Brad W, at our booth. He and Brad got to talking about his leaky basement, and Brad said he would be more than happy to visit his home and complete one of our FREE estimate appointments into the issue. The homeowner was more than happy to have Brad out to his home, and scheduled the appointment for the following week.

On the day of the inspection, Brad headed out to the house and got right to work looking at the basement. Once he finished, he met with the homeowner. Brad recommended the installation of SuperSump sump pump. Brad explained that the SuperSump is an effective and economical solution to basement flooding. 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. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Diego, and his team placed one SuperSump sump pump in the basement with no complications. Now, our customer can enjoy the rainfall, knowing his basement is protected!

Heather A. of Kiester, MN had water seeping from her floor joists, making her worry about her home conditions, especially during harsh weather conditions. She called our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared Bruns. Jared went to her home, carefully inspected her water problem, and came up with a solution that fit her needs and budget. She was confident with Jared's solution of our WaterGuard Drainage System, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. Homeowners appreciate how quickly this system is installed because it is done with minimal removal of the slab and all of the removed concrete is restored during the installation. So, just like that, Kiko and his team covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete.

A homeowner in Afton, MN was tired of her driveway being cracked and sunken. As the summer was approaching, she wanted to find a fix for the problems when the weather was nice, and they were outside on the driveway more. She went online to find a service that specialized in concrete repair and came across the American Waterworks company website. After looking through the website and seeing our past jobs done, she knew it was worth it to give us a call and schedule a FREE estimate. When we received her request, we sent over Design Specialist Mike Dexter to the home where he inspected the driveway and gave the homeowner his recommendations. The homeowner was happy to hear that something could be done and agreed to the plans. Our Foreman, Patrick Burnes, and his crew later arrived at the site to install two of our quality products. First, PolyLevel solution was used to lift and level the concrete slabs, and then NexusPro sealant, for the joints and cracks. The homeowner was thrilled with the final results and happy that she contacted us for our services.

A homeowner in Faribault, MN was alarmed about the state of his basement when he went downstairs and found a large amount of water damage to the walls and floors.

A Faribault, MN, homeowner was looking to add a bedroom to his basement but was running into an issue. For his new addition to be a legal bedroom, he needed a means of egress that met codes of safety. He began the search for companies in the area that could help, and ended up finding our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to the home. 

Once our Design Specialist completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Our Design Specialist recommended using our RockWell Window Well. 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. A polycarbonate safety cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural sunlight and fresh outside air to enter your basement. While they are not intended for continual foot traffic, the 10mm fluted polycarbonate cover will hold up to 500 lbs. of weight and prevent family members from accidentally falling into the window well. The homeowner liked the sound of our Design Specialist's plan and scheduled the work for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Luis D, was able to install the RockWell with no issues. Now, our customer can enjoy his new addition, knowing its code-compliant!
