Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Laura T. of Minneapolis, MN had extremely damp walls and damp cracks in her basement floor. Before it got out of control, she got in contact with our office staff and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist to come to her home and perform a diagnosis. Jared examined her floors and walls and discussed with Laura some of our basement waterproofing products. After a thorough meeting, Laura was confident in our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels, which are 24% more energy efficient than regular foam material, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team installed 56 feet of our Basement to Beautiful Panels. These special panels provide a warm and protective blanket around the basement, and they prevent rot and mold growth. Laura was beautified by the transformation and had a memorable experience with our team from beginning to end!

A Minneapolis, MN, business owner was down in the basement of the property one evening after a heavy rain and was shocked to notice several small pools of water had entered the space. He was worried about what this could mean for his property, so he quickly began looking for a Minneapolis basement waterproofing company. When he found our website, he was impressed with other waterproofing projects we had completed. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Daniel R, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

Daniel got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that he was recommending two of our products, which he felt would benefit the space. First, Daniel recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that this 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly to the walls of the basement. It works to trap water entering through holes or cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into a perimeter, which, in this case, Daniel recommended to be our WaterGuard system. This unique French drain gets installed below the slab of the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain functions to collect water from the CleanSpace, as well as water coming up through holes or cracks in the floor, giving the water a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Daniel did notice that the basement lacked a means of expelling water, so he recommended the installation of our TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is the most reliable pump in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for your basement and peace of mind. The homeowner was thrilled with Daniel's comprehensive plan and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our team arrived bright and early to complete the installation. Led by their Foreman, Kiko, our team installed 144 ft of WaterGuard, 90ft of CleanSpace, and 1 TripleSafe sump pump in the basement. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his property is properly protected! 

A new homeowner from Minneapolis, MN, went down to her basement after a particularly hard rain and was shocked to notice that she had standing water in several parts of her basement. Frazzled by her discovery, she quickly took to the internet to search for Minneapolis basement waterproofing. After a few hours of combing through different websites, she landed on our page. She was thoroughly impressed by our basement waterproofing before and after images and decided to sign up for our FREE estimates. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. After conducting his inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss his findings. Derek wanted to use several of our products to complement each other and most importantly, to keep water off the basement floor. First, Derek recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier be installed on the leaky walls. Derek explained that our CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that gets applied directly to unfinished basement walls, and works to direct water entering through the wall, downward, and into a perimeter drain, which, in this case, Derek wanted to be our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor slab but on top of the foundation footing, keeping it out of the "mud zone" where similar drains tend to clog. Because the CleanSpace runs into the WaterGuard, it collects water entering from the wall, and small porous cracks or holes in the floor, giving the water a channel to flow to the appropriate disposal site. Derek noticed the lack of drainage from the basement itself and urged the homeowner to add one because of the large amount of water entering the space. Derek recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an effective and economical solution. This sump is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. Derek went on to say that the SuperSump can be installed with the optional UltraSump battery backup, which is designed to provide reliable, high-volume pumping capability when the electrical grid goes down. After Derek and the homeowner discussed options, she was thrilled to know that our solution would keep her basement dry and healthy for years to come and decided to schedule the installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Kiko P, led his team through the installation with a breeze. When they finished, they installed 14ft of WaterGuard, 1 SuperSump Sump Pump, 1 UltraSump battery backup, and 24 ft of CleanSpace throughout the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy her largest investment knowing that it is properly protected from unwanted water!

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner had been dealing with a leaky basement for years. Each time it rained, the homeowner fell victim to unwanted water finding its way into her space. She no longer wanted to deal with the issue and decided to find a basement waterproofing company in Minneapolis, MN. The homeowner quickly found American Waterworks and signed up for her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dustin A, was headed out to the home. When Ryan finished his estimate appointment, he met with the homeowner. He began by commending the homeowner for taking action on her space. Dustin explained that waterproofing issues don't get better with time but rather with diligent homeowners who are committed to the health and value of their homes. He went on to say that he had the perfect system to deal with the water in the basement. First, Dustin recommended our CleanSpace system be installed directly to the walls of the basement. He explained that this 100% waterproof tarp-like material works to catch water entering through holes and cracks in the wall, directing it downward to a perimeter drain. Furthermore, CleanSpace has an anti-microbial protection, UltraFresh, built right in. As for the perimeter drain, Dustin recommended our WaterGuard drainage system. This unique French drain system gets installed below the basement floor atop the footing of the foundation to keep it clear of the 'mud zone' where similar systems tend to clog. Dustin elaborated, saying that this system works to give water entering through the floor a channel to flow freely to the sump pump that had been previously placed in the space. The homeowner agreed with the proposed work and worked with Dustin to find the correct date for installation. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Juan P, and his crew arrived at the home. Once the project had concluded, Juan and his team installed 77 sqft of both WaterGuard and CleanSpace within the basement. Now, our customer can lay her water intrusion nightmare to rest!

Ashley N. of Saint Louis Park, MN had water leaking from her pre-existing sump pump and from her basement walls, making her feel nervous about the water moisture and humidity in her home. She called our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared Bruns. Jared went to her home, inspected the problem, and came up with a solution. Ashley was comfortable with Jared's proposal, so they went ahead and got an installation date scheduled. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew started the installation by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our SuperSump Plus M53, which is made to keep basements dry for long periods of time, especially during harsh weather conditions. Next, our crew broke out half the wall perimeter and broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which prevents water clogs, serves as an underground drain, and collects water seepage from basement walls. To complete the work, our team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.
