Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Richfield, MN, noticed their basement began to smelly musty. Unsure of what was causing this odor, the homeowner started looking for an expert to provide them with some answers. During their hunt, the homeowner came across a NextDoor review that caught their eye. The homeowner noticed our high ratings on Nextdoor and was impressed enough to sign up for their FREE estimate. After setting the estimate, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Darin, one of our Design Specialists. Darin made his way to the home to begin the detailed inspection. Following Darin's thorough inspection, he noticed the basement needed a waterproofing makeover. Darin recommended our award-winning waterproofing products, and the homeowners agreed. The plans were sent to the office, then to our Foreman, Lane, to begin the project. Lane and his crew started the project by installing the WaterGuard, our below-floor drain system, around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew could shift to replacing the old sump pump with the SuperSump+. Next, the crew installed CleanSpace along the basement walls. Finally, the crew installed a buried discharge line. Once all the products were successfully installed, the crew cleaned up their products and left the home. The homeowner was pleased with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind. 

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was dealing with a leaky basement. Each time it rained, it seemed as though water would pool on the floor and in the corners of the basement. In the interest of protecting his home, he decided to look for Minneapolis basement waterproofing and eventually found our website. He decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Mac C, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

Mac got right to work inspecting the basement to see what we could do. When he concluded, Mac met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Mac wanted to use our WaterGuard. This French drain is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. It works to collect water entering from holes or cracks in the basement floor, giving it a channel to the appropriate disposal site, a pre-placed sump pump. Installation involves removing a section of floor around the perimeter and creating a drainage trench. Sections of WaterGuard® are then placed within the trench, resting on a bed of drainage stone, and the floor is restored. The homeowner liked the sound of the work and decided to schedule the work for some time later. 

On the day of the project, Lane S, our Foreman, led his team through a flawless installation. Now, our customer can enjoy her home knowing that that her water intrusion issue has been handled! 

A homeowner of Minneapolis, MN had water seeping into their garage, causing them to worry about the life of their home. They found a printed American Waterworks advertisement, so they called our office and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house, carefully examined and diagnosed their problems, and proposed a solution that would benefit their wants and needs. The homeowner was comfortable and confident in our approach, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and guide water to the sump pump. Next, our crew installed our Foamax Wall Panels, which is special insulation that keeps the basement warm and saves money on energy costs. Lastly, our crew installed our SuperSump Plus M53, which is a sump pump that keeps basements dry and discharges the water out of the basement by keeping away from the foundation. The homeowner was happy with the project and had a great experience from beginning to end.

A homeowner was enjoying his basement space when he noticed a small puddle forming in one of the corners. Worrying about further damage that could be done to the space, he contacted American Waterworks because of hearing positive reviews from his neighbors. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate to see what the problem was. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Jesse Williams, headed out to the property. After completing the inspection, Jesse agreed with the homeowner that it was better to take action now than wait for the problem to worsen. Jesse recommended using our WaterGuard system to address the water entering his basement. Jesse informed the homeowner that the system is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. He went on to say WaterGuard® is what we usually recommend and is our most widely used drain system. It's popular because of its resistance to clogs, its easy-to-access service ports, and its ability to also collect leaking water from the basement walls. The homeowner agreed on the product and a few days later our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew came in with 24 ft. of the WaterGuard to fix the problem. Now our customer can enjoy his basement without worrying about water intrusion.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, discovered damp walls and wet floors throughout their basement. Worried about the long-term effects it could have on their home, the homeowner began searching for a solution. During their hunt, the homeowner looked into "waterproofing Minneapolis MN" and came across our website. Impressed by our award-winning solutions and services, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate on our website. Soon after, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Daniel, to the home to perform the estimate. Once Daniel arrived at the home, he investigated the basement and found several signs of water intrusion. Daniel alerted the homeowner to these findings. To stop the water intrusion from continuing, Daniel recommended installing the WaterGuard in the problem corner of the home. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed and the plans were sent to the office. After the office approved and built the job, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Lane, and his crew. The crew traveled to the home to start the project. Once they arrived, Lane and his crew started by laying WaterGuard in the north corner of the basement. The crew successfully installed the WaterGuard and tied it to the home's current sump pump system. Once the WaterGuard was properly installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was glad to know their basement was safe from any water issues. American Waterworks is happy to provide homeowners with peace of mind.
