Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Jen and Don T. of Fulda, MN had water leaking from their basement walls, causing them to worry about water damage and flooding hazards. They reached out to American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to their home, inspected their problems, and came up with a solution that worked for them. Jen and Don were confident in Dylan's proposal of our WaterGuard Drainage System, so they went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, which serves as an underground drain in connection with the sump pump, prevents water and mud clogs, and collects seeping water from basement walls. To complete the installation, Tremaine and his crew filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Jen and Don were happy with the project and had a great experience from start to finish! 

Lorelle J. from Paynesville, MN was experiencing excess water build-up due to the old sump pump that was installed in the home. This water build-up was damaging other parts of her home including the foundation. Lorelle then contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks to claim her FREE estimate entitling her to a free home inspection. Once an appointment was scheduled,  our Design Specialist then attended the home and began a thorough inspection of the home and the perimeter of the home to properly diagnose the issues Lorelle is experiencing and provide a proper solution that would not only eliminate the issue but prevent any other issues from arising. Once the inspection was completed our Design Specialist recommended that Lorrelle replace the old sump pump and invest in the TripleSafe Sump Pump system that we offer here at American WaterWorks. Lorelle agreed and proceeded to schedule a date of installation. 

Our Foreman, Julio Murillo, and his designated crew then proceeded with the installation process by taking out the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with the Triple-Safe Sump Pump System. The Triple-Safe Sump Pump System has three levels of protection which solves all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the Triple-Safe Sump Pump comes a battery backup which helps in the case of a power outage, keeping the basement dry and secure. To finish the job the crew proceeded to fill the gaps with engineer fill to prevent any sediment from entering the sump pump basket and affecting the pumps. Once backfilled the team then proceeds to put a layer of concrete to provide a finishing look. Lorelle was happy with the job and had a great experience with the production crew!!

Nick and Carissa S. of Kandiyohi, MN had water leaking into their basement, causing them to worry about damage to property. They got in contact with American Waterworks and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to Nick and Carissa's house, carefully inspected their basement, and determined a solution that would work for them, their needs, and their budget. Nick and Carissa were confident in Chad's plan, so they signed his contract and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls, prevent water and mud clogs, and serves as an underground drain. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which prevents mold and humidity, gives the basement a neat, clean appearance, and it covers any big holes or divots in the walls. To complete the installation, our crew filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement was neater and cleaner than when they found it. Nick and Carissa could not believe the beautiful transformation!

Karen from Blomkest, MN, was having moisture issues in her basement. She was afraid that if the problem was left unresolved, she would run the risk of doing severe damage to her basement.

Our design specialist, Skylar, visited the property and recommended that the customer invest in our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier for basement waterproofing. It is installed below the floor but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone" and making it harder to clog. 

Foreman, Arturo, and his crew headed out and got started on making Karen's home a drier, safer place to live. First, our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

The drainage system now properly guides water to the Super Sump Plus pump, which pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Karen was pleased with the results and is glad her basement is now a dry, healthy space.

Water was coming into Gary's basement from the bottom of his steps. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to Gary's home, carefully inspected his basement, and proposed a solution that would work for him and his budget. Gary was confident in Shane's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. Inside the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and prevent mud clogs. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire basement wall perimeter, which is a vapor retarder designed to prevent mold and mildew, keep water out of the basement, and save money on energy costs. Gary was confident in the installation and was happy with the work that was done, so he went ahead with the project.
