Before & After Photos

Allen S. in Arcadia, WI had standing water in two of the corners of the basement, causing humidity problems. He was tired of trying to deal with this problem by himself and decided it was time to involve a professional . He saw a commercial for American Waterworks and decided to give us a call. Shortly after, we had one of our Design Specialists out to his home to give him a FREE onsite estimate. 

Our Design Specialist built a personalized plan with Allen that would permanently waterproof his basement.. Our crew installed a full perimeter of WaterGuard, lateral feed lines through the middle of the basement to guide water to the WaterGuard, and a TripleSafe sump pump.

The WaterGuard drainage system directs any water seeping in to the sump pump. Once the water reaches the sump pump, it is then pumped through the discharge line and expelled to the outside of the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Allen has peace of mind that he chose to protect his basement for the long-term. Allen no longer has the frustration of dealing with standing water in his basement.

Patricia W. of Arcadia, WI had water leaking into her basement, causing flooding hazards and stains in her basement, due to the high percentage of iron. Iron ochre is a rust-colored bacterium that dissolves in water and attaches to pipes, and eventually results in complete blockage. To resolve the problem, she called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Hector Garcia, to learn more about our basement waterproofing repair products. Hector went to Patricia's home to inspect the problems and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, Patricia was comfortable with Hector's proposal, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our Iron Ochre Perimeter Drain. This system is ideal for managing difficult iron water problems. The wide-open design of the drain helps it resist clogs, while a removable lid allows for easy access and maintenance. Next, our production team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent mold and humidity, cover any holes or divots, and provide the space with a neat and clean appearance. To complete the installation, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Patricia was very thankful we were able to help serve her and her home repair needs!

Vanessa D. of Arcadia, WI had water leaking through the cracks of her basement walls, and she wanted to get them looked at before the problem got any worse. She went online and came across American Waterworks and our free estimate page, so she requested a free estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to her home, thoroughly inspected her basement, and drew out a solution that worked for her and her needs. Vanessa got all of her questions answered and felt confident in the proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by jackhammering out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which prevents water and mud clogs, collects water leakage from basement walls, and serves as an underground drain. Next, our team installed our FoamMax Wall Panels, which reduces the condensation for moisture protection and prevents mold and humidity. Lastly, our Foreman and his crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump we provide for homeowners because it triples the protection, solves all three water problems in one unit, and comes with a battery back-up. To complete the project, our team backfilled the gaps with pea gravel and applied new concrete over them. Vanessa was happy with the repairs and had a great experience!

Travis S. of Stanley, WI had a failing foundation and wanted a full basement waterproofing system. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a no-obligation, FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac went to Travis's house, carefully inspected his basement, and determined a plan that would work for Travis and his home repair needs. Mac proposed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, Egress Window, and PowerBraces. Travis was confident in our products and their warranties, so he went ahead with the installation set up a date. 

Our Foreman, Dylon, and his production crew began the installation by installing our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is a special underground drain that prevents mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter, which is designed to prevent mold and mildew, save money on energy costs, and give the basement a bright appearance. Then, Dylon and his team installed our Egress Window, which gives the basement brightness, allows for an easy exit out of the basement, and it makes space feel larger. Lastly, our crew installed our PowerBraces, which is designed to repair and stabilize foundation walls over time. To complete the project, our crew ensured the entire space was clean, neat, and finished.

A homeowner from Stanley, WI, was dealing with a leaky, musty basement room. Each time it rained, it seemed more damage was slowly done to the room. The homeowner decided it was time to fix the issue, so he took to the internet and searched "leaky basement repairs near me". During his deep dive into local businesses, he came across our website. He was impressed with our years of service and before and after image sets and decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates. A few weeks later, one of our Design Specialists headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once our Design Specialist completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, our Design Specialist recommended the use of our CleanSpace. He explained that CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that's perfect for unfinished basement walls. CleanSpace installs quickly, with most installations taking a day or less. Once the installation is complete, your basement will be ready to use immediately. He explained that this system works to trap water entering through the walls, directing it downward to a perimeter drain, which in this case, our Design Specialist recommended to be our WaterGuard drain. This French drain is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. Installation involves removing a section of floor around the perimeter and creating a drainage trench. Sections of WaterGuard® are then placed within the trench, resting on a bed of drainage stone, and the floor is restored. This drain works to catch water entering from the CleanSpace above, as well as any water coming up through cracks in the floor. It gives this water a channel to flow to the appropriate disposal site, which in this case, is a previously placed sump pump. The homeowner liked the sound of our Design Specialist's plan and scheduled the work for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Edgar C, and his team were able to complete the work in no time. Now, our customer can enjoy his basement knowing his water intrusion issue has been solved!
