Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Clear Lake, IA reached out to us after noticing water in her basement after heavy rains.  We waterproofed the area and installed one of our sump pump systems to avoid any basement flooding in the future. Our sump pumps have a backup battery system, so if your power goes out during a storm, your basement will still stay dry! 

Sheral in Clear Lake, IA was suffering from a wet, musty basement. After learning about the services our company offers, she scheduled an appointment with one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, to receive a FREE estimate. Dylan walked her through her options and answered her questions and concerns. She was pleased with the thorough plan that Dylan created, so she decided to have our waterproofing system installed.

One of our Foremen, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew installed 43 ft. of our WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of her basement floor. They connected the drainage system to her SuperSump sump pump that we installed. The WaterGuard properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Lastly, they installed Foamax basement wall panels, which made the basement a bright and comfortable space. The Foamax wall panels insulate her basement and provide her with savings on her energy bill. Sheral is pleased with the transformation and is confident that her basement will remain dry!

Mark S. in Clear Lake, IA had an old, failing sump pump that was unable to keep up with the water seeping into his home. He was concerned about the air quality of his home, and he knew that he needed to address the problem. As a previous satisfied customer, Mark knew that American Waterworks was more than capable of the job. 

Our production crew installed our SuperSump sump pump and our SaniDry dehumidifier. The SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour out of the basement. The SaniDry has a powerful blowing motor that circulates dry air throughout the space, aggressively drying out the basement and controlling humidity. Mark was happy with the process, and glad his basement is now a dry and healthy space. 

Judy P. of Clear Lake, IA had water leaking through the cracked walls of her basement, making her question the stability of her home. After doing some research online, she came across American Waterworks waterproofing and foundation repair products. She called our office and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to her home, inspected the problem, and came up with a solution. Judy was comfortable with Ryan's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his production crew began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement, forming a trench. Next, our team applied 102 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold, mildew, and humidity build-up, and gives the room a clean and bright appearance. Then, our crew installed 11 of our foundation repair PowerBraces around the wall perimeter, which are made to stabilize basement walls and straighten them out over time. Lastly, our crew installed 102 feet of our WaterGuard System in the formed trench. Our WaterGuard acts as an underground drain and transports water to the sump pump. To complete the installation, Jeromy and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Judy had a remarkable experience from start to finish and was grateful we were able to assist her and her home repair needs! 

Dean P. of Clear Lake, IA had water leaking into the corner of his basement due to heavy rains. It had been happening for quite some time so he decided to do something about it. He got in contact with our company and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to his home, looked at the issue, and proposed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and our CleanSpace Wall System. Dean was confident in Ryan's proposal so he scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production crew began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain which serves as a drainage system, collects water leaks from basement walls, and has easily accessible service ports when the time comes for annual maintenance. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System, which prevents mold and humidity, covers large holes and divots, and gives the basement a clean appearance. To complete the project, our team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Dean was very satisfied with the work that was done!
