Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Ruth O. in Mound, MN was suffering from water leaking in to her basement. She had been dealing with the problem for quite some time now and was tired of dealing with it. After researching local waterproofing company’s, she got in touch with the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to her home to provide her with a solution and a free estimate. Chad worked with Ruth to develop the right waterproofing plan for her and her home. She liked the proposal that Chad developed, so she scheduled a date for our production team to install the waterproofing system.  

Our crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the stairs, where the water was leaking in. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump and a discharge line to the outside of the home. The water is now properly guided through the drainage system to the sump pump. Then, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and the water is expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Ruth now has peace of mind that her basement will remain dry and that she chose the right solution.

Tom, from Mound, MN, gave us a call when he began to notice water entering the basement of his home. Tom knew that if he left the problem unresolved then he would run the risk of mold or mildew accumulating in the space. When Tom called, he used his FREE estimate, which entitled him to a thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists from our waterproofing and foundation division. Once the walk-through was over, our Design Specialist made a few recommendations as to how we could best fix Tom's situation. First, he recommended that we use our CleanSpace basement wall vapor barrier. He explained to Tom that this 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier is used to prevent leaks and mold growth in any basement, by trapping any moisture behind the plastic barrier. Going hand-in-hand with this product, he also recommended our WaterGuard draining system. Our Design Specialist told Tom that this drainage system could be installed below the floor, but above the foundation footing of the home, and works to collect any excess water trapped behind the CleanSpace or entering through cracks in the floor, and directs said water to the appropriate place, like a sump pump. Tom agreed with the recommendations made and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew ended up installing 81ft of our CleanSpace and another 81ft of our WaterGuard drainage system. 

When the project was complete, Tom was happy to know his basement waterproofing issues were in the past!

Brad V. of Saint Peter, MN had water issues in his basement every spring, so he finally called American Waterworks after seeing one of our company trucks driving around his area. He scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to his home, carefully inspected his basement leaks, and came up with a solution that fit Brad's needs. Brad was confident in Dylan's proposal, so he scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew began the project by jackhammering out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. Inside the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which prevents water and mud clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and has easily accessible service ports for check-ups. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace prevents mold and humidity, saves money on energy costs, and covers any uneven surfaces. To complete the installation, our team filled the open faps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement looked clean and tidy.

A homeowner in Saint Peter, MN had many years of experience with water damage in their basement, so they finally gave American Waterworks a call after seeing our vehicles and yard signs around their hometown. They scheduled a FREE Estimate with one of our Design Specialists to examine their basement and design a detailed solution. The homeowner was confident in our proposal of our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels and our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and their warranties, so they signed the contract. 

Our Foreman and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which serves as an underground drain, collects leaking water from basement walls, and prevents water and mud clogs. Next, our team installed our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels around the entire wall perimeter. These wall panels provide energy savings, serve as a protective blanket, and prevent wood rot and mold growth. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete over them. The homeowner was thrilled with the work and had a great experience!
