Before & After Photos

A homeowner in North Oaks, MN, noticed multiple issues in her basement, such as high moisture levels, damp walls, and standing water, and was concerned that it would lead to permanent damage to her home. The homeowner remembered that her neighbor had recently gotten their basement waterproofed, so she decided to ask them what company they went through, and she learned about American Waterworks. After browsing our website, she decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Darin S., arrived at the home to conduct a proper inspection of the basement. He informed the homeowner of the issues he noticed, such as a failing sump pump and a likely failed footing drain. Darin then created a proposal for the homeowner where he suggested installing our WaterGuard, CleanSpace wall system, Shipshape monitor, and our Zoeller M98 pump, which is capable of removing 3,900 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing Darin's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In two months, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing 45ft of our CleanSpace vapor wall system by attaching them to the walls using drilled-in fasteners. Then, the crew installed 113ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and ensured it was connected to the sump pump. The crew also replaced the pump with our Zoeller M98 before installing our Shipshape, which would monitor the system. Lastly, the crew restored the flooring by pouring concrete. Once everything was installed the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Ben W. in Saint Paul, MN had a dirt crawl space. He was interested in having a vapor barrier installed to save costs on his energy, because he knew that he was losing heat through that space. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, went onsite to inspect his crawl space and propose a solution. Ben approved of the plan and moved forward with the installation date. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier and our spray foam rim joist insulation. The combination of these crawl space encapsulation products made Ben’s crawl space a dry, clean, and energy efficient space.

A Saint Paul, MN, homeowner got in contact when she suspected her basement of taking on water. Our Design Specialist, Ryan K, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After Ryan finished his thorough inspection, he was ready to make his recommendations. First, Ryan wanted to use our Basement to Beautiful wall panels. These panels are the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient basement. Designed with the unique, advanced SilverGlo™ graphite-infused foam insulation, this insulation provides 24% more energy savings than conventional foam products. At 2 ½" thick and R-13 insulation, Basement To Beautiful™ panels create a warm, protective blanket around your basement that will never rot or support mold growth. Next, Ryan recommended our WaterGuard drain. This unique french drain is installed below the slab of the floor, but atop the footing of the foundation. Using this placement helps keep this drain out of the 'mud zone' where other drains of its nature tend to clog. It works to catch water coming up through the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to the appropriate disposal site. In this case, the basement lacked a means of disposal, so Ryan recommended our TripleSafe sump pump. This pump is the most reliable in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for both your peace of mind and your basement. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, Jesus C, one of our Foreman, led his team through the flawless installation of 130ft of WaterGuard, 127 linear ft of Basement to Beautiful, and 2 TripleSafe sump pump. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that her basement water troubles have been handled! 

In North Saint Paul, MN, a homeowner noticed water leaks along the edges of the floor in the basement and was concerned about mold growth. Knowing the importance of early action against basement water leaks, the homeowner began looking into waterproofers in the area and found us. Impressed by our 5-star reviews, the homeowner knew we would be the right company for their home improvement journey. They soon contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dylan W., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took note of the spots where water leaks were present, tested the humidity levels, and determined the areas that needed waterproofing. He recommended installing WaterGuard, our interior drainage system that directs water leaks to the sump system, CleanSpace, our vapor wall liner that prevents water vapor from permeating the walls, TripleSafe, our extremely reliable sump system with three levels of protection, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge system that allows water to escape the pump in freezing temperatures. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Lane S., arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 91ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace, 1 TripleSafe, and 2 IceGuards.
