Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

A Wisconsin homeowner was growing frustrated with the state of the basement. A few weeks prior, he had been walking around his lower level when he stepped in a wet patch of carpet. He ripped up the carpeting to find that water was seeping into his basement. Worried about what this could mean about the health of his home, he decided to search for Wisconsin basement waterproofing companies. When he came across our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Dustin A, headed out to the property. 

Once Dustin completed his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Dustin began by saying that the homeowner was right to get in touch with us. He went on to say that he wanted to use three of our products to address the water intrusion. First, Dustin wanted to utilize our Foamax Wall Panels.

Foamax is a polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel with a white foil finish on the front and foil vapor barrier on the back. The wall insulation panel offers multiple benefits and high-performance features such as high insulation value, creating a warmer space, brightening your basement, doesn't require the basement to be finished, and draining wall leaks to premiere drainage systems. To complement this product, Dustin recommended our WaterGuard. This modern below-floor drain catches the water directed from the CleanSpace and any seepage entering through the floor. Then, it carries the water to an appropriate disposal site, which in this case, Dustin wanted to be our TripleSafe sump pump. This pump is the most reliable system, boasting three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. The homeowner liked the sound of Dustin's plan and scheduled the project to be installed several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jorge M, and his team ended up installing 1 TripleSafe sump pump, 165 ft of WaterGuard, and 165 ft of Foamax. Now, our customers can enjoy a warm, dry, and healthy space!

Mary F. of Hokah, MN had water in her basement, causing her to worry about water moisture and structural damage, so she did some research on Google for contractors who service her area. She came across American Waterworks, so she called our office and scheduled a no-obligation, FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac went to her home, carefully inspected her basement, and determined the solution of our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier and our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Mary was confident in Mac's presentation and our products, so she signed his proposal and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Raul, and his production crew started the installation by jackhammering out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, which is the most common basement waterproofing product that we provide for homeowners. It collects water seepage from basement walls, prevents water and mud clogs, and it has service ports that make it easy to inspect during annual maintenance. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace around the basement wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace prevents mold and mildew, gives the basement a nice, clean finish, and it covers holes and divots. To complete the installation, our team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Mary was happy with the work and her experience!

A homeowner in Caledonia, MN experienced a wet basement after their beaver system had failed.  American Waterworks was able to install our trusted WaterGuard waterproofing system, along with our CleanSpace vapor barrier to prevent any future water damage in their finished basement.

Lisa E. in West Union, IA had a sump pump that had failed. Because of her failed sump pump, she had water leaking into her basement. She was worried about water damage and the potential health problems it could cause, so she decided she needed to contact a professional.

She contacted American Waterworks to get a FREE estimate to have her sump pump replaced. We sent one of our of Design Specialists to her home to inspect the situation and he developed a plan to fully waterproof her basement to ensure this would never happen again. Lisa agreed that our proposal was the right plan for her home, so we set a date for the installation.

Our crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump and a discharge line to the outside of her home so that water can properly be expelled from her basement. The installation took two days, but this new waterproofing system will last her a lifetime, guaranteed.
