Before & After Photos

Richard R. in Floyd, IA had water leaking into his basement. He started searching for waterproofing contractors and he found the American Waterworks website. He was glad to see that we are waterproofing experts, so he contacted us for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mike Radosevich, went to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. Mike developed a waterproofing plan that best fit Richard’s needs, so Richard scheduled the installation.

Our production team started the installation process by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor. They laid a partial perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system around the basement floor. Then, they installed our SuperSump sump pump and filled the void around the sump pump and WaterGuard with rock. Lastly, they replaced the concrete over the WaterGuard and around the sump pump. The drainage system now properly drains water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Richard can rest easy knowing that water will no longer be in his basement. He is glad he chose to invest in protecting his home for years to come.

Danielle O. in Excelsior, MN had water leaking into her basement causing damage to her carpet, floors, and home. She tired of dealing with a wet basement and was concerned about the health implications it could cause, so she contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, went to her home to inspect her basement and design a unique solution to fit her needs. Danielle was pleased with the proposal and was eager to have the waterproofing system installed, so she scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his crew installed 61 feet of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the room and a SuperSump sump pump in the corner. They also installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to protect the room from moisture and potential mold growth. The WaterGuard properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Danielle is pleased that her basement is now a dry, healthier space and she is glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her home.

A homeowner in Clear Lake, MN, decided to take a look at their crawl space and noticed it was in rough shape. Instead of ignoring the issue, the homeowner wanted to take action and have it repaired. Through the grapevine, the homeowner heard that American Waterworks is known for their excellent work. Curious, the homeowner visited our website and noticed we do have crawl space services. The homeowner decided to give us a chance and signed up for their FREE estimate.  Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Shane. Once Shane arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowner and began the crawl space inspection. Shane discovered that the foundation was failing and needed to be permanently stabilized. Additionally, he found that the crawl space should be encapsulated. Shane told the homeowner of his findings and also provided them with a solution to revive the crawl space. The homeowner agreed with the plan of action and production commenced. Our Foreman Raul, and his crew traveled to the home and started by making sure the crawl space was ready for the PowerBrace installation. The crew installed eighteen PowerBraces around the entire crawl space perimeter. Once the PowerBraces were installed, the crew laid the Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Next, the crew installed CleanSpace on the crawl floor to cover the Drainage Matting. Foamax is installed on the crawl space walls to ensure the crawl space stays insulated. Finally, the crew put the TripleSafe sump pump in place in the corner of the crawl space. The homeowner was amazed by the crawl space transformation. American Waterworks is happy to encapsulate another crawl space. 

Eileen and Jerry B. of Lancaster, MN had water leaking into their basement, and they wanted to get it repaired as soon as possible. They did some research and came across American Waterworks and our basement waterproofing repair projects. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to their home, carefully inspected their project, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. Eileen and Jerry were confident with the solution of our WaterGuard System, so they went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is designed to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. To complete the project, our team covered the open waterway gaps with rock and applied new concrete. Eileen and Jerry were happy with the repairs and had a great experience!
