Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Penny L. of Rogers, MN found one of our advertisements in her local phonebook, so she called American Waterworks to schedule a FREE Estimate to inspect the leaking water coming through her basement. Our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, went to her home to diagnose the problem and come up with a solution. Penny got all her questions answered, so she scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and our production crew began the project by drilling weep holes at the bottom of the wall perimeter to relieve water pressure. Next, our crew installed 90 feet our DryTrak Drain Pipe System around the floor perimeter and over the holes. Our DryTrak is made to collect and channel water to the sealed sump pump or basement drain. Next, our crew applied 68 feet of our CleanSpace Halfwall around the wall perimeter to prevent mold and humidity and forces water seepage to fall into the DryTrak. Penny was happy with the outcome and was grateful we were able to help serve her and her home repair needs!

Kevin G. of Rogers, MN had moisture in his basement where the floor and wall meet. He called our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad. Chad went to Kevin's house, inspected his basement, and determined the solution of our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain. Kevin got all of his questions answered, so he got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard, which is an interior drainage system that collects water and guides it to the sump pump. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with river rock to allow water flow, and applied a new layer of concrete over the system, ensuring the basement was neat and clean. 

Kevin was happy with the work and was grateful we could help him with his home repair needs.

A customer from Saint Francis, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice water entering an older well room of his home. He wanted to ensure that the foundation of his home was preserved and safe from water damage. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate. Next, our Design Specialist, Jesse, headed out to the property to see what could be done. Once he completed his thorough inspection, he was able to make a recommendation as to how we could fix the issue. Jesse wanted to use several of our products, beginning with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that this tarp-like material works to trap water entering through cracks and holes in the wall, draining it downwards to our WaterGuard french drainage system. Jesse went on to say that this drainage system sits below the concrete of the floor out of the "mud zone" and traps water entering through the ceiling and cracks in the floor and drains it to the appropriate source. Next, Jesse wanted to use our SuperSump Plus sump system, to handle the customer's current water intrusion with the opportunity to expand in the future. Our customer agreed with the plan of action and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his crew ended up installing 14ft of CleanSpace and WaterGuard throughout the well room along with one SuperSump Plus system. Our customer is now happy to know his waterproofing issues are a worry of the past! 

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.
