Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Terry and Lori in Madelia, MN were aware of the age of their waterproofing system in their home. They were concerned that it needed some attention and that the basement walls might need a little help. They learned that we are the leading contractor for waterproofing in the region and called us for a FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to evaluate their home and propose a solution. They approved of the recommendation and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew installed 108 feet of WaterGuard along the perimeter of his basement floor, which guides water to the sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water from the home through the discharge line to the outside, keeping the basement dry. Then, the crew installed our BrightWall Rigid Basement Wall System. BrightWall is a waterproof, rigid plastic paneling for unfished basement walls. It keeps humidityand water vapor from passing through the foundation walls and into the basement. Any water seepage through the walls is directed into the drainage system, and it transforms the basement into a bright space!

Susan N. in Cambridge, MN had water leaking into her unfinished basement. She wanted to have her basement finished at some point, so she knew she needed to find a solution to her water problem. She discovered American Waterworks and was pleased to see that we have been waterproofing experts for almost 3 decades. She decided to contact us for a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home. She was pleased with his plan to restore her basement, so she scheduled the installation of our waterproofing system. 

Our production crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and lateral lines that lead to the TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump system that is backed by three layers of protection. The process took two days, but now Susan no longer has to be concerned about water seeping into her home and she can now finish her basement.

A Hamburg, MN, homeowner was growing frustrated over a corner of her basement that was taking on water. Not wanting the issue to worsen, she decided to begin the search for MN basement waterproofing companies. When she found our website, she decided to claim her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Eric H, headed out to the home. 

Once Eric finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to deliver his findings and recommendations. He explained to the homeowner that American Waterworks could fix the issue with the help of two of our products. First, Eric wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets applied directly to the wall, and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. The CleanSpace slowly directs the water down the wall and into our WaterGuard. Eric wanted to use our WaterGuard to catch water entering from the walls, as this below-floor drain works to direct water to the proper disposal site. This drain sits below the floor, on top of the footing of the foundation, but out of the mud zone, where other drains tend to clog. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the work for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Kevin, and his team were able to install 59 ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace throughout the basement. Now, our customer is thrilled to know she no longer needs to worry about a damp basement! 

Cheryl A. from Gaylord, MN had water leaking into her basement through her windows. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists went to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution to keep her basement dry. He recommended that we replace her old, leaky windows, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team removed the old windows and replaced them with our EverLast Basement Windows. EverLast basement windows are energy-efficient, vinyl-framed replacement windows. Designed with double-paned, low-E glass, they are much more energy efficient than the single-paned, steel-framed windows that are the industry standard. These windows will never rust, rot, decay or need paint. They can also be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance.

Joyce T. in Gaylord, MN had water leaking into her basement causing damage to her property. She learned that American Waterworks has been the leading waterproofing contractor in the region for 30 years and gave us a call. We sent one of our Design Specialists to her home to propose a unique solution that fit the needs of her home. 

Our production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they laid the WaterGuard drainage system and connected it to our SuperSump sump pump. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is expelled from the home. Joyce can rest easy knowing she chose a permanent solution to protect her home.
