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! 

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!

A homeowner from Mankato, MN, was growing increasingly frustrated with her outdated sump pump. Each time it rained, the sump pump had trouble keeping up with the amount of water entering the home, which led to water overflowing the sump, leaving excess water to stand on the basement floor. The homeowner was concerned about what this could mean for her basement, so she began to look for interior waterproofing MN. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, Nate B, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Nate concluded his inspection of the basement, he recommended that the homeowner upgrade her old sump pump. Nate wanted to specifically use our SuperSump sump pump. Nate explained that the SuperSump is an effective and more economical solution to keep the basement dry. It's 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. The homeowner was thrilled that Nate had provided a fix for her basement and scheduled the installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo, and his team were able to place the SuperSump without any issues. Now our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that her sump pump was now equipped to handle large influxes of water.
