Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Bill reached out to American Waterworks to find a solution that would permanently fix his garage and damp deteriorating walls. 

Jared, one of our Design Specialists, met with Bill to provide a FREE quote. Jared listened to Bill's questions and concerns, performed a detailed inspection, and designed a solution that met all of Bill’s needs. Bill was pleased with the proposal and scheduled the installation.

The production team, led by Raul B., installed WaterGuard along the full perimeter of the garage, as well as our SuperSump Plus. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty. To help preserve the garage walls, our CleanSpace was installed which is a vapor barrier. This total system ensures a dry, comfortable garage that can be used for anything!

A homeowner from Milltown, WI, was dealing with an outdated sump pump. The sump would continually cycle, even when there was no rain. The homeowner grew tired of repeatedly hearing the pump cycle, so he decided to look into other waterproofing solutions for his basement. After perusing the internet, he found our website. Impressed by our basement waterproofing before and after pictures, he signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Daniel R, one of our Design Specialists in the homeowner's area, stopped at the house to evaluate the issue. 

Daniel took his time with his inspection. When he was done, he met with the homeowner to inform him that he believed that there were three products in our inventory that he believed would fix the problem. First, Daniel recommended the installation of our WaterGuard. This unique french drain system gets installed below the slab of the basement floor and atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain works to collect water entering from holes and cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow to the sump pump. Because of the severe deterioration of the old sump pump, Daniel recommended the use of our TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe sump pump is our most reliable sump on the market, providing three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water, or in case of primary pump failure, the TripleSafe boasts a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 horsepower pump set a bit higher in the liner. Finally, Daniel informed the homeowner that even homes with comprehensive waterproofing systems can still develop moisture and mold problems and could even feel damp. Concrete walls and floors continually absorb moisture from the soil and release it into the air in your basement, and store-bought dehumidifiers simply aren't strong enough to solve the problem. For this reason, Daniel recommended our AprilAire dehumidifier. Adding an Aprilaire dehumidifier creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% RH. The homeowner agreed with Daniel's recommendations and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jeremiah F, led his team through the successful installation of 132ft of WaterGuard, 1 TripleSafe pump, and 1 AprilAire dehumidifier. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his waterproofing issue is solved! 

Gregg P. had water leaking into his basement due to a failed sump pump. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to his home to inspect his problem and develop a solution. Gregg was pleased with Shane's proposal, so he scheduled to have our waterproofing system installed. 

Our production team installed a lateral line and a SuperSump sump pump, which now properly expels water from the home. The installation only took a day to complete. Gregg is glad he chose to invest in the long-term protection of his basement.

Susan K. of Marine On St Croix, MN had water issues in her basement, causing leaks and water moisture. One of her peers referred American Waterworks to her, so she got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to Susan's house, carefully examined her basement, and drew out some solutions that would work for her and her situation. Susan was comfortable in Chad's plan of our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his production crew started the installation by jackhammering out the concrete floor perimeter by forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which prevents mud and water clogs, has easily accessible service ports, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent mold and humidity, save money on energy costs, and cover any uneven surfaces or divots. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring that Susan was happy in the process.

A homeowner in Lakeville, MN was concerned about the state of her basement after a heavy rainfall and decided to go downstairs to see if any damage was done. Sure enough, she found a small puddle of water on the floor of one of the rooms. As this had happened in the space before, there already was water damage to the concrete floors, the homeowner knew it was time to take action and find a way to stop the problem from happening again. She went online to look for basement waterproofing companies by searching for "waterproofing contractors near me." One of the top results was the American Waterworks website and the homeowner decided to sign up for a FREE no-obligation estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Darin Stenglein, went to the home to inspect the basement and he prepared a detailed plan for how to restore the space. Once the plans were approved, they were given to our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew. They traveled to the site and carefully installed 32 ft of our WaterGuard perimeter drain system, and the homeowner was very impressed with their hard work and the results.
