Before & After Photos

A resident of Rochester, MN, was looking into buying a property with an older sump pump already installed. Through his experience with the home, the system had never functioned, and he worried that when the rain returned, his basement would fall victim to unwanted water. Being a Rochester native, he knew that American Waterworks was the premier choice for basement waterproofing in Minnesota, so he called to set up his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the home to see the outdated sump pump. After he concluded his estimate appointment, he met with the homeowner. He informed him that his suspicions were correct and that the sump pump would need replacement. Ryan wanted to give our customer the best shot as dry basement success, so he recommended our TripleSafe sump pump, the most reliable sump pump in our lineup. Ryan explained that the TripleSafe boasts three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For times of heavy water intrusion, or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 horsepower pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. The homeowner was thrilled with the recommendation and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Diego B, and his team flawlessly installed 1 of our TripleSafe sump pumps in the basement of the home. Now, our customers can enjoy all the perks of a new home with none of the headaches that come with a damp basement!

Dan C. in Pepin, WI had severe water problems in the basement of his old farmhouse. Water was coming through the sandstone walls as well as the concrete floor. He contacted the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus to inspect his home and develop the right solution for his basement. He was pleased with the solution we recommended, so he scheduled to have our waterproofing system installed as soon as possible.

Our production crew removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor as well as a thin line of concrete through the middle of the floor. They laid our WaterGuard drainage system, a lateral line, and a TripleSafe sump pump and then filled back the gaps in the floor with rock before replacing the concrete. Then, they installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the basement walls to keep moisture out and prevent from potential mold growth. Dan was pleased with the result and is now enjoying a dry, clean basement!

Cody C. in Nora Springs, IA had water leaking into his basement and did not have a functioning system in place to remove water from the home. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE inspection and estimate. Our Design Specialist, Mac Cole, went to his home to gain a better understanding of the issue Cody was facing. Mac developed a thorough plan to waterproof Cody's basement, and Cody was pleased with the proposal, so he scheduled the installation. 

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system, a lateral line, and a TripleSafe sump pump. The drainage system and lateral line properly guide water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Cody is happy that his basement has remained a dry space, and he is glad he chose American Waterworks to help protect his home.

In Nora Springs, IA a homeowner was unhappy with the state of her basement. She had recently been down in the space which was when she noticed some water pooled up on the floor. Not wanting the problem to get worse and to prevent further damage, she decided to look into getting a quality waterproofing system installed. Her neighbor had used American Waterwork's services in the past and they had done an effective job, so she figured they would also be able to help her basement space. She called our office and set up a FREE estimate appointment with one of our Design Specialists, Brady Swenson. Brady arrived at the home and carried out an inspection of the basement area and prepared his recommendations. The homeowner was pleased with the plans and scheduled a date for the products to be installed. When Foreman Raul Barroso and his crew arrived at the site to install the WaterGuard perimeter drain system, they began by jackhammering channels along the floor and filling it with drainage stone. They then placed the WaterGuard system on top followed by more clean stone and a layer of concrete to hold everything in place. The homeowner was so happy with the results and to have a water-free basement space again.

A homeowner in Nora Springs, IA, was inspecting their basement following a heavy rain and they noticed several water damage spots throughout. Extremely concerned about the long-term effects it would have on their home, the homeowner knew they needed to find a long-term solution. During the hunt for the perfect waterproofing company, the homeowner came across our website and saw our impressive reviews and ratings. After seeing our amazing ratings, the homeowner knew we were the best option for them and their home. 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, Brian, to take a closer look. Brian arrived at the home, introduced himself to the homeowner, and began his thorough investigation of the foundation. During his inspection, Brian confirmed the basement was suffering from water intrusion and needed to be fully waterproofed. Brian presented his proposal to the homeowner and they agreed with his suggestions. Next, Brian passed the plans along to the office, so the project could be built. After the project was built, Raul and his crew traveled to the home to begin the waterproofing installation. First, Raul and his crew began by installing WaterGuard around the entire perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew dug a feedline across the basement floor. Next, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. After the sump pump was replaced, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to ensure its customers' basements are properly waterproofed.
