Water Damaged Basement Repaired in Mason City, IA

Thursday, March 6th, 2025 by Mattie Slavin

Challenge

A Mason City homeowner noticed water stains throughout their basement. Anxious this would worsen in the spring, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner investigated “leaky basement repair near me” and one of the first companies to jump out at the homeowner was us, American Waterworks. Once they saw our impressive before and after photos, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for the project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Brady, to the home to take a closer look.

Solution

Brady promptly arrived at the home and started his thorough walk through of the basement. During his investigation, Brady discovered the base of the walls were weeping water and needed to be repaired. Additionally, he noticed the sump pump needed to be replaced. Brady recommended several waterproofing products to ensure the basement stays dry. The homeowner agreed with Brady’s recommendations, then he passed the plan along to our Logistics team to build and approve the plans. Once our Logistics team built the project, they scheduled the project for a few months later. Our Foreman, Victor, and crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Victor and his crew secured WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. WaterGuard is our innovative below-floor drain that prevents flooding and clogging. Next, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+, one of our premiere sump pump systems. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was secure from flooding.
