Before & After Photos

A homeowner's basement in Lime Springs, IA, had flooded after an intense thunderstorm. Frantic to find a solution, the homeowners searched for basement waterproofing options closest to them. Luckily for the homeowner, they came across our Facebook page and knew we were the best choice for them. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Ryan. After Ryan arrived at the home, he started his inspection of the basement. Ryan completed the entire basement walk-through and found many waterproofing issues in the basement. After Ryan alerted the homeowner of his findings, he was able to provide them with a solution. Ryan recommended installing several waterproofing products in the basement to protect it from further intrusion. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's recommendations and the plans were finalized by the office. Once approved by the office, they were sent to our Foreman, Raul, and his crew. Raul and his crew arrived at the home and started by installing WaterGuard around the entire perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew took out the previous sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Next, the crew tied the TripleSafe Sump Pump into the WaterGuard system. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. As soon as all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was properly waterproofed and repaired. American Waterworks is happy to provide homeowners with that peace of mind. 

Mark D. of Fall Creek, WI had water leaking into his basement during heavy rainstorms, causing damage to personal belongings. He got in contact with American Waterworks after being referred by one of his peers. He called our office line and requested a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to Mark's house, inspected his basement, and proposed a solution. Mark got all of his questions answered and was confident in the solution, so he went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman and his team broke out the pre-existing window and replaced it with our Egress Window, which is designed to provide a safe exit out of the home, more natural light to the basement, and more liveable space. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter, which is a vapor protectant designed to prevent water from seeping into the basement and save money on energy costs. To complete the installation, our Foreman provided the homeowner with a thorough walkthrough of the space and ensured his expectations were met.

Scott R. in Fountain, MN had water leaking into his basement through the crack where the wall meets the floor. He decided to start looking for a waterproofing contractor and that’s when he found the American Waterworks website. He was impressed that we have been waterproofing experts for almost 30 years, so he decided to contact us for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, went to his home to inspect his basement and he developed a thorough waterproofing plan. Scott was happy with the proposal, so they scheduled the installation. 

Our production team removed the concrete around the perimeter of his basement floor and laid our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the corner of the basement. The WaterGuard guides water to the sump pump and then the water is pumped out of the home through the discharge line. Lastly, they replaced the concrete and installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system which protects the basement from moisture and potential mold growth. Scott was very pleased with the result and it happy that he can now enjoy a dry, healthier basement!

A couple from Fountain, MN got in contact with us when they began to notice that water was finding its way into their basement. Wanting to fix the issue before it could worsen, they contact our office and we set them up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Josh, headed out to the property to complete his walkthrough. Once he completed his inspection, he was ready to make recommendations as to how we could help the couple transform their space. First, Josh wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He told the couple that our CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp that gets applied directly onto the basement walls experiencing leakage. It works to catch water entering through cracks and holes in the foundation, leading it down into Josh's second recommendation, our WaterGuard below-floor french drainage system. Josh said that our WaterGuard is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. Its job is to catch water and then redirect it to the appropriate disposal site. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his team worked to install both products. When they finished, they installed 112ft of our WaterGuard and another 112ft of our CleanSpace throughout the basement. Now our customers can enjoy their space without thoughts of water intrusion. 

Stacie C. of Chatfield, MN had water leaking through the walls of her basement. After hearing about us through a referral, she called our office line and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Tim Schneider. Tim went to her home, inspected the problem, and came up with a solution. Stacie was comfortable with the project, so she went ahead and scheduled the installation date. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, 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 30 feet of our WaterGuard System which is made to collect water seepage from basement walls and act like an underground drain. Next, our team applied 30 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter which prevents mold, mildew, and humidity. It also provides the basement space with a neat and clean look. To complete the project, Dylon and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Stacie had a remarkable experience from start to finish!
