Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Sam from Saint Paul, Mn was in hopes of renewing his basement systems to help provide his home with more security against water that could potentially harm the foundation of his home. The first step he took to protect his home was to upgrade his sump pump and insert a new drainage system. Sam immediately contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled his Free Estimate which entitled him to a full home inspection. Once scheduled, our Design Specialist then attended his home and began a thorough inspection of the property. Our Design Specialist then proposed to Sam that the best solution is to invest in our TripleSafe Sump Pump system along with our Waterguard Drainage system. Sam was comfortable with the proposal and went forward with the project by setting a date of installation. 

Once the date of installation arrived, our Foreman along with his Production team  attended to the property and began to jackhammer the concrete along the perimeter of the basement to insert the WaterGuard Drainage System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. This type of WaterGuard is most commonly used due to the resistance against water clogs and easy access ports to properly flush out the mud from the system. Once inserted the Production team then proceeded to remove the old sump pump system and replace it with a TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump has three levels of protection which helps solve all three water problems. Once the job was done the team then places a fresh layer of concrete over the project to provide a finishing look and secure the system to stay in place. 

Sam was satisfied with the project and had a great experience with the Production crew!

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, was at his wits end with his basement. No matter what the homeowner did, one corner of his home was constantly taking on water, leaving him with puddles and musty odors. The homeowner was concerned that if he didn't address the problem now, soon his basement would be underwater. The homeowner had no idea who to contact about basement waterproofing in St. Paul, but eventually found our website. She was impressed with our basement waterproofing before and after photo sets and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo V, was headed out to the home. 

When Romeo arrived, he got right to work inspecting the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowners. Romeo explained that he believed the leaky basement could be fixed with two of our products. First, Romeo recommended our WaterGuard drain. This unique French drain gets installed around the perimeter of the basement, below the floor slab, but atop the footing of the foundation to keep it out of the 'mud zone,' where similar drains tend to clog. Romeo explained that this drain works to collect water entering through holes or cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Through his inspection, Romeo noticed that the basement of the home lacked a sump pump, so he recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an economical yet effective solution for ridding your basement of unwanted water. The homeowner liked the sound of Romeo's plan and decided to schedule the project for a month or so later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo M, and his team were able to install 49ft of WaterGuard and 1 SuperSump sump pump in the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy his basement without worries of a leaky corner! 

A homeowner in Maplewood, MN was worried about his basement when he went downstairs to the space and found some water damage to the floors in the utility room. He figured this wasn't a good sign and was determined to make a change sooner than later to prevent future issues from happening again. As he lived near the cities and knew there would be more luck with finding a service with that city name, so he looked up "waterproofing Minneapolis." The American Waterworks company website showed up and he quickly became interested in the products and services that we offered. He signed up for one of our FREE estimates and was later met by one of our Design Specialists, Darin Stenglein. Darin inspected the basement space and informed the homeowner that our WaterGuard basement drainage system and CleanSpace wall vapor barrier would be the perfect solution for his basement. The homeowner agreed to the installations and looked forward to the project moving forward. Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew went to the site and carefully installed both products. The homeowner was happy with the results and thanked our crew for their hard work.

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice his floor above his basement was beginning to sag inward. He wanted to get ahead of the problem, so he decided to contact American Waterworks to see if they could help. When he called in we set him up with his FREE, no-obligation estimate. A few short weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac, headed out to the property to assess the situation. Upon completion of his inspection, Mac recommended the installation of our SmartJacks to address the sagging floor. Mac explained to the homeowner that our SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floors. The homeowner agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Jesus, and his team ended up installing 14 SmartJacks throughout the basement of the home. Once the project was complete, the homeowner was happy to walk across level floors!
