A homeowner in Manly, IA, knew they needed to inspect their basement following a heavy rainstorm.

After taking a closer look into "basement waterproofing near me", one of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner was impressed with our 5-star ratings and reviews, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Ryan, one of our Design Specialists. After Ryan arrived at the home, he began his detailed inspection of the basement. Ryan confirmed the basement was suffering from water intrusion and required permanent waterproofing. Next, Ryan was able to provide the homeowner with a proposal that would solve all the issues in their home. Knowing this was their option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the proposal. Once they were given the stamp of approval, the plans were sent to our Logistics team to build the project. After the project was built, it was assigned to our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew to begin. Jesus and his crew began the project by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. The WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew can go ahead and place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on top of the stone and covered with cement. Once the WaterGuard is in place, the crew could shift their focus to removing the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe. The crew installed a feedline across the floor to connect the TripleSafe to the new WaterGuard. Next, the crew shifted their focus to installing an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. An IceGuard allows water to escape if the sump pump discharge pipe freezes or becomes blocked for some reason. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.
