Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Gervase S. of Saint Cloud, MN had water leaking into his basement when it rained. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to Gervase's home, diagnosed and inspected his basement, and proposed a solution that would work for him. Gervase was confident in the proposal of our WaterGuard Below the Floor Drain, so he moved forward with the project.

Our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter and formed a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard, which is an interior drainage system that collects water seepage from basement walls and prevents mud clogs. To complete the project, our team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete over it. Gervase said the crew was effective, well-mannered, stayed clean, and did everything they could.

After a heavy rainstorm, a homeowner in Morton, MN, noticed signs of water leakage underneath their egress window. Concerned by this discovery, they knew they needed a professional out there as soon as possible. Unsure of who to choose for this job, the homeowner decided to look at different referral sites to find the best company to fit their job. After searching through many referral sites, the homeowner came across our business page. The homeowner saw that we offer the multiple services they are looking for, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. The homeowner waited for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Shane, at their home. Soon after Shane arrived, he began evaluating the status of the basement. Shane discovered that the basement required proper waterproofing and permanent stabilization. Shane proposed a plan that would fully waterproof the basement and stabilize the foundation walls. The homeowner knew they wanted the entire job done, so they went agreed with Shane's proposal. The plans were sent to the assigned crew and production commenced. When the crew arrived, they began by taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe sump pump. Then, they installed CleanSpace on a section of the west and most of the entire north foundation wall. Next, the crew installed 10 GeoLock anchors on the west and north foundation walls. To finish up the installation, the crew attached an IceGuard to the outside discharge line. The crew cleaned up their site and left the home. The homeowners were relieved to know their basement was safe and secure. American Waterworks is happy to give its customers peace of mind in their homes. 

Keith B. of Sartell, MN had water leaking from his basement walls and his pre-existing sump pump, making him feel nervous about the value of his home. He did some research online and came across our website. He called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Josh Schultz. Josh went to his home, inspected his problems, and came up with a solution. Keith got all of his questions answered and was comfortable with Josh's proposal, so he went ahead with the installation and got a date scheduled. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production team began the project by cutting out the wall perimeter and breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump. Next, our team replaced the sump pump with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe is the best sump pump we provide for customers, it provides three levels of protection, and it solves all three water problems in one system. To complete the project, our team replaced the concrete and left the area looking neater than when they found it. Keith was happy with the work that was done and was grateful we were able to assist him and his home repair needs! 

Raquel in Bird Island, MN had water seeping through her block foundation in her basement. She started researching professional waterproofing contractors and found American Waterworks’ website. She was impressed with the projects we had completed and wanted to learn more about our waterproofing system, so she contacted us for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to her home to inspect her basement and provide her with a solution.

Raquel was impressed with our waterproofing system, so she decided to move forward with the project. Our production crew started the installation by removing the perimeter of the concrete floor to create a trench for the WaterGuard drainage system. They installed the SuperSump sump pump in the corner of the basement and then laid the drainage system in the trench. The WaterGuard connects to the sump pump so water can properly exit the home. The installation only took a day to complete and she was pleased with the result. She is glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her basement!

Bob, a homeowner in Grove City, MN, was having issues in his basement, as heavy rainfall led to water intrusion. Recognizing that this could lead to even bigger problems, Bob called American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Shane, traveled to his home to look around. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to recommend a plan to transform the basement into a healthy, clean space. He explained that small cracks in foundation walls are common in homes throughout the Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin area. Usually a side effect of the natural curing process of concrete, these cracks do not threaten the foundation. However, even small cracks in a foundation can be a significant problem if they leak groundwater into your basement or crawl space.

Bob was glad he reached out and was excited to get started. Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew headed to the basement and got to work. First, they ensured the space was cleared and ready for the demo. Then, they completed a half-wall demo to address the damage properly. Next, they implemented our FlexiSpan® Foundation Crack Repair System to repair the leaking wall cracks. It's a patented, warrantied repair and a permanent solution. 

To complete the project, our team replaced the concrete and left the area looking neater than when they found it. Bob was happy with the work that was done and was grateful we could assist him and his home repair needs!
