Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Wyoming, MN, noticed water stains on their concrete floors. With all the melting snow and rain, the homeowner was concerned about more water sneaking into their basement. The homeowner began looking for professional assistance. After searching through many waterproofing companies, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. They went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. After their appointment details were set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jesse, to inspect the basement. Following his inspection, Jesse confirmed the home needed proper waterproofing. Jesse recommended a solution to the homeowners that would solve all their issues. The homeowner agreed to Jesse's recommendations and production commenced. Our crew received the plans and made their way out to the home. The crew began by installing the WaterGuard in the southern corner of the basement. In addition to the WaterGuard, the crew installed the TripleSafe Sump pump and IceGuard. Then, the crew installed CleanSpace on the walls to protect them from mold and further water intrusion. After all the waterproofing products were installed, the crew utilized the PolyLevel to lift the sinking front steps. The homeowners were impressed by the excellent job done by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to give another customer peace of mind. 

A customer from Minnetonka, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his basement wasn't retaining heat the way he would have liked. He was afraid that, if left untreated, he would continue to face higher-than-average energy bills due to his inefficient space. When he called in to see if we could help, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. Once the appointment was set, one of our Design Specialists, Ryan P, headed out to Joe's house to assess the situation. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his recommendations. Ryan wanted to use our Basement to Beautiful insulated wall panels. Ryan explained that these panels are the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient basement. He went on to say that these panels are unique as they are designed with advanced SilverGlo graphite-infused insulation that provides 24% more energy savings than conventional foam products. In essence, it creates a protective blanket around the basement that will never support rot or mold growth, while still offering the potential to finish the basement in the future, should the customer decide to. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Lane, and his crew worked diligently to install the panels. In the end, they had covered the space in 128 ft of the Basement to Beautiful panels. Now our customer doesn't need to worry about whether or not his basement is costing him unnecessary amounts of money each month! 

Homeowners James and Rachel D. of Mankato, MN had water leaking through the cracks of their foundation walls, causing them to worry about water damage and the stability of their home. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared. Jared went to James and Rachel's house, inspected their problems, and designed a solution that worked for them and their budget. They were confident in Jared's proposal and were comfortable with our products and their warranties, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, Juan and his crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent mold and humidity and serves as an extra wall protectant while saving money on energy bills. Lastly, our team dug holes outside of the home beyond the foundation and inserted a long, metal rod from the inside foundation to each hole outside of the home. On the ends of the rod in the soil, our team installed an anchor plate, which holds the rod in place in the soil. Inside the basement, our team installed a GeoLock Channel Anchor on each rod to stabilize the wall. The combination of our production crew, the anchor plates, rods, and wall anchors work together to straighten the wall back into its original position. To complete the installation, our crew filled the open floor gaps with pea gravel and river rock and applied new concrete over them. 

James and Rachel had a great experience with our team and their peace of mind is restored!

The business owner of Atwood Management wanted their basement waterproofed, so they worked with our Design Specialist, Dylan, whom they had known throughout the Mankato area. Dylan inspected the basement and determined a plan that would work for them and their needs. After a thorough inspection, the business owner decided to move forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench to install our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain. This system is designed as an underground drain that collects water seepage from basement walls and prevents water clogs. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is designed as a wall protectant that prevents mold and humidity and saves money on energy costs. Our crew poured rock in the open-floor gaps and applied another thin layer of concrete over them. The business owner said they completed the job in one day, and our crew was very efficient!

A Mankato, MN, homeowner was growing frustrated over his back utility room. Each time the area got rain, the homeowner was faced with pooling water near the baseboard of the room. Not wanting the issue to continue, potentially damaging appliances, the homeowner decided to search for MN waterproofing companies. When he found our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan W, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Dylan completed his inspection, he was ready to make his recommendations to the homeowner. Dylan explained that because the water seemed to be entering through cracks and holes near the floor, he was recommending our WaterGuard. He explained that WaterGuard is a French drain 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. He went on to say that 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. Dylan finished by saying that the WaterGuard would be attached to the homeowner's existing sump pump. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Juan B, and his team ended up installing 20ft of WaterGuard throughout the space. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his appliances are safe from water intrusion!
