Before & After Photos

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI, discovered wet spots throughout their basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowners knew they needed to find a professional to assist them. The homeowner looked into "local basement contractors" and one of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our five-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once their estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Michel. A few days later, Michel traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Michel confirmed that several areas were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the issue from continuing, Michel recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Michel's recommendations. Next, Michel passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project for a few months later. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Lane, and his crew started by installing WaterGuard in the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the eye-catching transformation made by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customer's damaged basements. 

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI, noticed signs of mold growth and water leaking through the joint between the wall and the footing. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew he needed expert advice and began searching for basement waterproofing contractors in La Crosse, WI, and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our basement transformations, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dustin A., arrived at the home to assess the basement. During the inspection, Dustin confirmed that the home is experiencing water issues due to a failed footing drain. When this fails, water easily saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then forces itself through cracks in the walls, between the footing and the wall, or beneath the footing. To fix this issue, Dustin recommended installing WaterGuard, our patented below-the-floor perimeter drainage system that collects water and safely sends it to the sump pump, TripleSafe, our superior sump pump system with three levels of protection, including a battery backup pump, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in sub-zero temperatures. After reviewing Dustin's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Lane S., arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 69ft of WaterGuard along the perimeter of the basement, 1 TripleSafe, and 2 IceGuard. After everything was properly installed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI was looking to have her outdated wood paneling in her basement replaced with something a little more attractive and water resistant. As you can see in the before photo, the wood paneling and concrete walls do not go well together. And it looks like she may have previously had water damage in the area. 

American Waterworks replaced the outdated wall with our BrightWall basement wall panel system.  The BrightWall panels will work great in conjunction with her previously installed basement waterproofing system to keep her basement dry and comfortable. You can see in the after photo that the wall panels are durable, easy to clean and definitely brighten up her basement.

Beth K. in La Crosse, WI had been dealing with a wet basement for years. She had water seeping into her home where the floor met the wall, and it was creating a damp, and musty space. She was concerned about the damage to her home and the health implications. She did some research online and called American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists to meet with Beth and inspect her home. She approved of our products and the proposal and moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our SuperSump sump pump in the corner. Lastly, they filled back the gaps with rock, replaced the concrete, and cleaned up their work area. Water is now properly guided through the WaterGuard to the sump pump and is then discharged from the home. Beth is happy that her basement has since remained a dry and healthy space! 

Dan B. in La Crosse, WI contacted American Waterworks after being referred to us by a previous satisfied customer. Water had been leaking into the basement for years, and he was ready to contact a professional. We sent one of our Design Specialists to meet with Dan, inspect his home, and propose a customized plan to fit his needs. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and through the middle of the floor to create a trench for the 124 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system and for the feed line. Next, they installed our TripleSafe sump pump. Then, they installed spray foam in the rim joists and a combination of our ZenWall and Foamax Insulated Panels on the walls for the ultimate transformation and energy bill savings. Lastly, the crew installed our SaniDry dehumidier to take care of any humidity. Dan also chose to replace his basement windows with our EverLast Windows with our WellDuct System for a cleaner and more updated look and to drain any leaking water into the perimeter WaterGuard system. The combination of these waterproofing products restored Dan’s basement, and he is glad he chose a permanent solution for his home!
