Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Brainerd, MN was concerned about his basement when he noticed some water damage in a corner of the utility room. Not sure what this meant for the basement, he wanted to get a professional's opinion on what should be done before trying to fix it himself. He went online to search "Minnesota basement waterproofing" and found a variety of results that came up. After shuffling through some of the options, he decided to go with American Waterworks because of our FREE no-obligation estimate service. One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, later went to the home to inspect the basement and see what should be done in terms of repairs. Shane determined that our WaterGuard basement system should be installed to move any incoming water away from the home and directing it safely to the sump pump. The homeowner was glad to hear this and agreed to the installation. Our Foreman, Jonathan Burnes, and his crew went to the site and carefully installed the WaterGuard system at the perimeter of the basement. Now the homeowner is confident in his waterproofed basement and glad to no longer have water damage.

Denise J. of Fort Ripley, MN had water leaking from her foundation walls into her basement, making her worry about stained walls, water damage, and flooding hazards. She got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to her home to carefully inspect the walls and come up with a solution that fit her home repair needs and budget. Denise was confident in Chad's proposal and was content with the products and their warranties, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is the most common waterproofing repair product we provide for homeowners. It serves as an underground drain in connection with the sump pump, it prevents water and mud clogs, and it collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent mold build-up, humidity growth, and guide water into the WaterGuard. To complete the project, Raul and his team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Denise was happy with the work that was done and was impressed by the transformation from start to finish!

Eric D. of Milroy, MN had water seeping into his basement and he wanted to get it inspected by a professional. He knew of our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, so he told him about the problems he was having. After an informative discussion and a written-up quote, Eric D. decided to move forward with the project so he could get his problems repaired and fixed. 

Our Foreman, Clay Bassingthwaite, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which is an underground drain that collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which prevents mold, mildew, and humidity, and it gives the basement a bright, clean appearance. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps in the floor with rock and applied new concrete over it. Eric D. was grateful we were able to help him with his basement repair needs!

Jill S. in Sacred Heart, MN had a dirt crawl space that was creating a musty smell in her home because of the moisture in that space. She also noticed that her energy bill was high, and she felt that energy was being lost from that space. She contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our crawl space encapsulation services. We sent a Design Specialist to inspect the crawl space and design the best solution. Jill was pleased with our proposal and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew removed the debris from the crawl space and installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system on the dirt floor and the sides of the crawl space. This helps to keep pests and moisture out, which reduces humidity. Then, they sprayed our spray foam insulation in the rim joists of the crawl space to completely seal off the space and prevent any pests or water from entering. Jill was pleased with the result and is glad she can enjoy a stable, healthier crawl space for years to come!

Matt L. of Lismore, MN had water leaking into his basement and underneath the carpet, making him feel nervous living in his own home. He called American Waterworks and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to his home to inspect the basement and come up with a solution. Matt was confident in Eric's design and quote, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his team started the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard System, which collects water seepage from basement walls and serves as an underground drain that leads to outside. Next, our team installed our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels around the wall perimeter. These panels are made to provide a dry and energy-efficient basement, and it creates a warm, protective blanket that will never rot and or support mold growth. To complete the installation, our crew laid a rock in the open gaps and replaced the concrete, leaving the basement looking neater than when they found it. Matt was extremely happy with the project and was grateful we were able to assist his home repair needs!
