Before & After Photos

Charles from Buffalo, ND was looking for a way to make his basement safer and drier. He decided he would call American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist, Evan, to his home to inspect his basement and create the right solution for his needs.

After heading out to his property to complete the inspection, our Design Specialist, Evan, showed Charles why a better water filter was needed, and what American Waterworks could do to drain moisture and eliminate water settlement. Charles was excited by the proposal and was confident all his questions were answered, so he signed the contract and set up a date for the installation. 

Our Crew, lead by our Foreman, Tanner, installed our  WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard collects water leakage from basement walls, serves as an underground drain, and prevents water and mud clogs by staying out of the mud zone. Tanner and his crew also installed our SuperSump Plus System, engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even in times of heavy water intrusion. To finish the job, our team filled the broken space with rock, applied new concrete, and ensured the space was left clean and dry! Charles was very grateful and impressed with the project and was glad to have his peace of mind back. 

No one wants water in their basement, and Don from Buffalo, ND, is no exception. When he called us for a FREE estimate, Don shared that he was experiencing issues with water entering his garage through the stairs. 

Our Design Specialist, Kole, traveled to Don's home to determine the best path forward. Following a thorough walk-through and a great discussion with the client, Kole created a proposal addressing water issues. 

This plan was implemented by our Foreman Cyrus, and his crew. They started the project by removing the stairs, installing WaterGuard around the perimeter, and tying it to the existing pump. This serves as an underground drain that will collect water seeping into the space. Next, Cyrus and the team added our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall in the garage to prevent mold and humidity and serve as a wall protectant.

Madella, a homeowner in Oakes, ND, was having significant issues in her basement space; water was entering the basement at the cove joint, where the floor and wall meet.

Specifically, with musty smells, mold, and moisture issues, Madella decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Richie, headed to the property for an inspection, and once Madella and Richie chatted, a plan was made to implement solutions.

Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew began the project by clearing debris and readying the spaces for installation. Richie had advised Madella to invest in our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. Next, the team installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water Issues. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier installed right onto the problem walls and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. This also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. The crew also used spray foam to seal and waterproof the homeowner's crawl space. Our spray foam is designed to keep the heat inside and prevent cool air from coming in.

John and Starla H. of Galesburg, ND had water leaking from their walls and had cracks throughout their concrete floor, causing them to feel nervous and unsafe about the living conditions in their home. They went on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks. After looking through the photo galleries of our basement waterproofing and foundation repair installations, they called our office line and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to their home, inspected their problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. John and Starla got all of their questions answered and were confident in Ian's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor with a jackhammer, removing all of the existing concrete. In replacement, our team laid down gravel, river rock, and sand. Next, our team installed our WaterGuard System around the floor perimeter. Our WaterGuard is an underground drainage system that connects to the sump pump, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Then, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and mildew, cover in holes or divots, and gives the room a neat and clean appearance. To complete the job, our team applied new concrete to the entire basement floor, leaving the basement looking much neater than they found it. John and Starla were very happy with the repairs!

Shirley, of Tower City, ND, enlisted our services when she began to notice water entering the basement of her church. She got in touch with us and scheduled her FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Kole, of our Fargo branch. Soon after, Kole was out at the property to thoroughly inspect the damage, diagnose the cause, and see what we could do to help Shirley and her congregation. Kole discovered that water was entering the property through the walls of the basement, leading to the moisture in the basement Shirley had described. He recommended Shirley invest in our CleanSpace vapor barrier, paired with our WaterGuard drain system, and our SuperSump Plus to give the excess water the appropriate place to drain. 

The Foreman, Cameron, and his crew began work soon after. They began by installing the WaterGuard drainage system below the concrete of the floor, resting it atop the footing of the foundation. Next, they installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier on the North and South walls of the basement to address the leakage coming through the walls. The CleanSpace works hand-in-hand with the WaterGuard, as it catches the water entering through the wall, trapping it behind a tarp-like layer, and redirecting it down to the WaterGuard. Finally, Cameron and his crew installed the SuperSump Plus to gather the water that the CleanSpace and WaterGuard trapped. 

Now Shirley and her congregation have peace of mind knowing their shared space will be water-free for a long time to come!
