Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Tammy F. of Bricelyn, MN was having concerns about her existing sump pump leaking water into her basement. After doing some research online, she had American Waterworks come to her home for a FREE Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to her home to inspect the issue and come up with a solution. Tammy was confident with Dylan's proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew broke out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replaced it with our SuperSump Sump Pump System, which is made to keep basements dry for a long period of time, then re-applied new concrete. Tammy was excited with the outcome, and no longer has sump pump problems! 

Derek M. of Rosemount, MN had crawl space moisture and loss of heat under his living area and he wanted to get it encapsulated. He did his research and came across American Waterworks and our crawl space waterproofing services. Our Design Specialist, Dustin, went to Derek's home, inspected his crawl space, and determined the solution of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier and our Foamax Wall Panels. Derek got all of his questions answered about our products so he wrote out a deposit, signed the proposal, and got a date set up for installation. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew started the installation by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space wall perimeter. These panels are designed to provide comfort and warmth to the home and make the wall look clean and bright. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier on top of the crawl space floor, which is designed to prevent mold and mildew, seal away poor smells, increase the home value, and keep away pests or insects. Derek was happy with how the project turned out and had a great experience!

A homeowner from Stillwater, MN, was looking to upgrade her sump pump before spring. She had been aware that her sump pump hadn't been functioning properly for some time but was now nervous that if the system wasn't replaced by the spring, the basement would fall victim to water intrusion from melting snow. She began her search for a sump pump repair company in Minnesota, and quickly found American Waterworks and set up her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Eric H, was headed out to the home. After Eric finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner. Eric recommended the homeowner switch out the old pump with our SuperSump sump pump, an effective yet more economical solution for water in your basement. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even during times of heavy water intrusion. The homeowner was thrilled with the solution, and the system was scheduled to be installed a month or so later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Raul B, and his team successfully placed the system with no complications. Now our customer can head into every season of life knowing her basement is properly defended!

The Val Croix Home Owner’s Association in Stillwater, MN contacted American Waterworks after being referred by a previous satisfied customer. The condominium had water seeping into the underground garage. The association knew they needed a permanent solution, and our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, was happy to evaluate the situation and propose a solution to fit their needs. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete along the perimeter of the water-damaged wall to make a trench for our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our SuperSump sump pump in the corner, and our BrightWall rigid plastic paneling along the walls. BrightWall is 100% waterproof, durable, washable, and will not support the growth of mold or rot. The association is pleased with the results and confident they chose the best solution! 

Janet S. in Osceola, WI contacted American Waterworks because she was concerned about the water that was leaking into the corner of her basement, and she had a bowing foundation wall. She was tired of cleaning up after heavy rains, and she was concerned about the stability of her home. We sent one of our Design Specialists to meet with Janet, evaluate the situation, and propose a unique solution. Janet was impressed with the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew were able to stabilize the foundation wall by installing 7 Geo-Lock anchors along the wall. The wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation wall and pull it back to its original position. Next, the crew waterproofed the basement by first removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installing our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry dehumidifier. The crew finished the job with installing our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier to give the space a bright, clean look. Janet was pleased with the results, and glad she can now enjoy a dry basement!
