Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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 in Maplewood, MN, had been thinking about installing an egress window for a while so that her family would have a means of escape in case of an emergency. She decided it was time to get started on the home project and began looking for services in the area. The homeowner found our website, and after browsing, was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 
In a couple of weeks our Design Specialist, Brad W, arrived at the home to inspect the basement. The homeowner had informed Brad which window she would like the egress to be installed and Brad quickly worked on a design and solution for the homeowner. He explained that our RockWell window well duplicates the appearance of stone, providing a pleasing look both inside and outside of the home. Alongside this, our egress also has steps that can be used to easily leave the home and also allow more light to get into the basement. After the homeowner reviewed Brad's proposal, she decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Francisco E., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by digging out the soil outside of the window to ensure there was enough space where the RockWell would be placed. Then, the original window is removed and replaced it with a larger window to ensure that it remains up to code. After this, the RockWell is placed down and attached to the foundation. Lastly, the crew installs the safety cover to keep leaves and debris out. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

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!

A homeowner in Circle Pines, MN, discovered water damage in their basement. Worried their basement was in serious trouble, the homeowner began searching for “basement waterproofing near me”. One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our services. After seeing our five-star waterproofing services, the homeowner knew we were the perfect team to complete their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Jesse. A few days later, Jesse promptly arrived at the home and began the detailed inspection of the basement. During his evaluation, Jesse confirmed the water was sneaking in through the basement corners. To prevent the issue from continuing, Jesse recommended installing several waterproofing products. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Jesse’s solution. Next, Jesse passed the proposal to our Logistics team to finalize the details. Our Logisitcs team approved the proposal, then scheduled the project for a few months later. After the project date arrived, our Foreman, Francisco and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Francisco and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe sump pump. After the TripleSafe was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was no longer at risk of water damage. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowner peace of mind knowing their basement is secure.

A homeowner in North Oaks, MN, noticed multiple issues in her basement, such as high moisture levels, damp walls, and standing water, and was concerned that it would lead to permanent damage to her home.

After browsing our website, she decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Darin S., arrived at the home to conduct a proper inspection of the basement. He informed the homeowner of the issues he noticed, such as a failing sump pump and a likely failed footing drain. Darin then created a proposal for the homeowner where he suggested installing our WaterGuard, CleanSpace wall system, Shipshape monitor, and our Zoeller M98 pump, which is capable of removing 3,900 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing Darin's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In two months, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing 45ft of our CleanSpace vapor wall system by attaching them to the walls using drilled-in fasteners. Then, the crew installed 113ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and ensured it was connected to the sump pump. The crew also replaced the pump with our Zoeller M98 before installing our Shipshape, which would monitor the system. Lastly, the crew restored the flooring by pouring concrete. Once everything was installed the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
