Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

After purchasing their Forest City, IA home, Matt & Jenni decided to contact American Waterworks to have a new sump pump installed in their basement after realizing the DIY version wasn't keeping up with the demands of their home. American Waterworks was a no-brainer for these two, as our Team had previously installed our Geo-Lock Foundation Wall Anchor reinforcement system in the home back in 2013.

Thomas M. from New Richland, MN had water seeping into his basement that was coming up through his floor. He had tried temporary ways to seal the water off, but those quick fixes never lasted, and he continued to have a wet basement each time it rained. After researching professional waterproofing contractors, Thomas decided to call American Waterworks to receive a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. Thomas was pleased with Mac’s plan to waterproof his basement, so they scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement and a TripleSafe sump pump that was connected to the drainage system. The TripleSafe is our most reliable pump because it has three pumps and it is protected with a battery backup. The WaterGuard properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is expelled from the home through the discharge line. Thomas is thrilled that his basement has been a dry, healthier space since having our system installed.

A homeowner in Faribault, MN was Looking for a better sump pump and preferred to have their current discharge line removed and replaced in a different location behind the home.

Having a damp or wet basement can create more than just a headache. Problems like this can make bigger problems such as mold, rot, structural damage, and health problems. Some of the symptoms to keep an eye out for are wet basement floors, leaking basement walls, standing water, smelly odors, condensation, and sump pump problems.

A resident of Bayport, MN had similar problems with their situation. They had water seeping into their family room and they wanted to get it fixed up before it caused more damage. They had previous work done by American Waterworks and they had a good experience, so they worked with American Waterworks again. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house for a FREE estimate, carefully inspected their problems, and drew up a plan that would work for them and their needs. After a thorough conversation with our Design Specialist, the homeowner moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which prevents mud clogs and collects water leakage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which prevents mold and humidity and saves money on energy efficiency. Lastly, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three layers of protection and solves all three water problems in one system. The homeowner was thrilled with the work and had a wonderful experience from start to finish!
