Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Katie W. in Waukon, IA noticed that she had cracks in her foundation and water was seeping through the cracks into her basement. The water had started damaging her personal items in her basement, and she was concerned that the damage to her basement was only going to get worse. She started looking for a waterproofing contractor in the area and she came across the American Waterworks website. She was glad to see that we have over 29 years of experience in the waterproofing industry. She contacted us to receive a free estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. She was pleased with the proposal that we developed for her, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system in her basement and two lateral lines through the middle of the floor. We also installed our TripleSafe sump pump system- which is our most reliable sump pump. The drainage system properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Katie can rest easy knowing that she chose the right solution to protect her home for the long-term.

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production crew got to work and installed 194 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement and the feed line through the middle of the floor. Then, they installed our SuperSump sump pump in the corner. The WaterGuard properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Wayne is glad he made the investment to protect his basement for the long-term.

A homeowner in Waukon, IA, discovered large pools of water throughout their basement. Worried by this finding, the homeowner frantically searched for a company to solve this issue. After hearing about our fast service, the homeowner called our Appointment Center to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner waited for the arrival of Rick, one of our Design Specialists. After Rick arrived, he went to the basement and started inspecting the level of damage. During his inspection, Rick discovered water was rapidly leaking into the basement. Rick knew this issue needed to be addressed immediately, so he suggested installing a new drain system around the basement perimeter. The homeowner wanted the issue resolved, so they agreed with Rick's recommendations. When they received the stamp of approval, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Jeromy, and his crew. The crew arrived at the home and started by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew dug a feed line across the floor to tie into the new sump pump, the SuperSump+. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work done by the crew. American Waterworks is glad to assist another homeowner. 

A homeowner in Waukon, IA, wanted to completely redo their basement. While they were clearing out the basement, the homeowner noticed water stains throughout their basement. Since they were already completely redoing their basement, the homeowner knew this was the perfect time to solve the issue. The homeowner looked into "basement waterproofing near me" and the highest-rated company was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best company for the job. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin, to the home to take a closer look. As soon as Dustin arrived, he began his thorough inspection of the home. During his investigation, Dustin confirmed the basement needed to be waterproofed. Additionally, Dustin noticed the basement walls were beginning to bow slightly. After he wrapped up the inspection, Dustin was able to provide the homeowners with a proposal that would solve all their issues. After considering their options, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the proposal. Next, Dustin passed the plans along to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Once the project was approved, it was assigned to our Foreman, Jose, and his crew to start. Jose and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First, Jose and his crew installed WaterGuard in the southeast corner of the basement. Additionally, the crew installed a feedline to connect to the home's current sump system. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted their focus to installing five CarbonArmor strips along the north wall. As soon as all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the quick and excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist its customers in repairing their basements and homes. 

A homeowner in Black River Falls, WI had water entering into his basement where the wire enters the fuse box.  American Waterworks was able to locate the leak and prevent any future water damage by installing a Super Sump.  In addition to the Super Sump, American Waterworks  suggested  our CleanSpace wall system to stop water vapor from permeating the walls and drain any wall leaks.  The white color really brightens up this basement.
