Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI was looking to have her outdated wood paneling in her basement replaced with something a little more attractive and water resistant. As you can see in the before photo, the wood paneling and concrete walls do not go well together. And it looks like she may have previously had water damage in the area. 

American Waterworks replaced the outdated wall with our BrightWall basement wall panel system.  The BrightWall panels will work great in conjunction with her previously installed basement waterproofing system to keep her basement dry and comfortable. You can see in the after photo that the wall panels are durable, easy to clean and definitely brighten up her basement.

Beth K. in La Crosse, WI had been dealing with a wet basement for years. She had water seeping into her home where the floor met the wall, and it was creating a damp, and musty space. She was concerned about the damage to her home and the health implications. She did some research online and called American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists to meet with Beth and inspect her home. She approved of our products and the proposal and moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our SuperSump sump pump in the corner. Lastly, they filled back the gaps with rock, replaced the concrete, and cleaned up their work area. Water is now properly guided through the WaterGuard to the sump pump and is then discharged from the home. Beth is happy that her basement has since remained a dry and healthy space! 

Dan B. in La Crosse, WI contacted American Waterworks after being referred to us by a previous satisfied customer. Water had been leaking into the basement for years, and he was ready to contact a professional. We sent one of our Design Specialists to meet with Dan, inspect his home, and propose a customized plan to fit his needs. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and through the middle of the floor to create a trench for the 124 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system and for the feed line. Next, they installed our TripleSafe sump pump. Then, they installed spray foam in the rim joists and a combination of our ZenWall and Foamax Insulated Panels on the walls for the ultimate transformation and energy bill savings. Lastly, the crew installed our SaniDry dehumidier to take care of any humidity. Dan also chose to replace his basement windows with our EverLast Windows with our WellDuct System for a cleaner and more updated look and to drain any leaking water into the perimeter WaterGuard system. The combination of these waterproofing products restored Dan’s basement, and he is glad he chose a permanent solution for his home!  

Marie S. of La Crosse, WI had a wet basement and a cracked foundation. She found an American Waterworks advertisement in the newspaper, so she called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Josh, went to Marie's home, inspected her problems, and proposed a solution that would work for her and her needs. Marie was confident in the proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his production crew started the project by installing our WaterGuard, which is an underground drainage system that guides water to the sump pump. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System, which is a protective barrier that prevents water moisture and condensation. Lastly, our team installed our Helical Anchors, which provides lateral stability to foundation and retaining walls. Marie was thrilled with the work and her peace of mind was restored.

Jean H. of La Crosse, WI wanted to get an Egress Window and RockWell Window Well installed in her house. She called American Waterworks after seeing one of our advertisements. Our Design Specialist, Chuck, went to Jean's house, inspected her outdoor and indoor space for the window installation, and proposed her a bid. Jean was confident in the proposal and our presentation, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Lane, and his crew began the project by removing the soil surrounding the foundation. Next, our crew cut out the brick foundation and installed our Egress Window, followed by the RockWell Window Well. This window and well combination is great because it offers a safe exit out of the home, while also providing the basement with fresh air, light, and it saves money on energy costs. To complete the project, our team backfilled the soil and put the rock landscaping where it was before. Jean could not believe the transformation and was very satisfied with the project's completion!
