American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Battle Lake, MN had water leaking from their walls, causing them to worry about water damage and flooding hazards. When it comes to block foundation walls, the open spaces in each block may fill with water, which then leaks through the walls. By eliminating that, our crew broke out the bottom of the wall perimeter by a few inches, then drilled a weep hole into each block. Next, our team installed our DryTrak Drain Pipe System, which our crew did not have to use a jackhammer for. In this case, our team just applied it over the floor perimeter., which prevented extra labor and exposure to dust. The water then was able to pour through the holes and directly into the drain pipe. 

The homeowner was happy with the repairs and was grateful we were able to help them with their basement waterproofing needs!

A homeowner in Battle Lake, MN was wanting to make some changes to her concrete back patio area. Over the years it had developed multiple cracks and continued to wear down, which the homeowner was not pleased with. She decided to look online for a solution that would restore the area in time for the rest of summer. During her search she came across the American Waterworks company website and was interested in our FREE no-obligation estimate offers. She wanted to learn more about the process before agreeing to an actual project, so she signed up for her own estimate. We sent over Design Specialist Ian Schultz to the home, and he carried out an inspection of the patio area and gave his recommendations. The homeowner was relieved that he had a plan to repair the patio and she agreed to move forward with the process. Our Foreman, Charlie Coleman, and his crew went to the site with the proper products and tools to carry out the installations. They used PolyLevel solution to lift and level the concrete slabs back up and filled in the joints and cracks with NexusPro joint sealant. The homeowner was impressed with the crew's hard work to complete the project and was happy with the final result.

A Battle Lake, MN, homeowner got in touch with us due to a wall bowing inward in their garage. The homeowner used the area for personal projects but wanted to address the foundation before fully customizing the space. While searching for a MN foundation repair company, he found our website and signed up for his FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kole L, headed out to the home. 

Once Kole finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his results. Kole explained that when foundation walls begin to buckle, bow or tilt inward, homeowners are correct to be alarmed. Outside pressure from soil and water can cause foundation walls to collapse. Kole recommended the use of our PowerBrace system. The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner agreed with Kole's recommendations and scheduled the job for a few months later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Aaron R, and his team installed 16 of our PowerBrace's throughout the garage. Now, our customer can fully enjoy his space without worries of a compromised foundation!

A homeowner in Britt, IA, was inspecting their basement following a heavy rainstorm. To their surprise, the homeowner discovered several wet spots throughout their basement. Worried about the long-term damage, the homeowner began looking into professional waterproofing companies near Britt, IA. The homeowner had work previously completed by us, so they gave us a call to check out the basement. The homeowner was connected to our Service Department, and then they sent one of our Service Technicians, Darin, to the home to take a closer look. After Darin arrived, he began his detailed inspection of the basement. During his inspection, Darin discovered the basement suffered from water intrusion and needed repair. Darin was able to come up with a proposal that would solve all the issues in the basement. After presenting the plan, the homeowner knew this was their best plan of action. Next, Darin passed the plans along to our Logistics team to be approved. Once the plans were approved, the proposal was sent to our Formean, Kevin, and his crew. Kevin and his team traveled to the home and began the waterproofing installation. First, Kevin and his crew began by installing WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Then, the crew installed a feedline to connect the WaterGuard to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the crew's work. American Waterworks is happy to assist our homeowners after our initial installation. 

A homeowner in Alexandria, MN had water leaking into their basement, causing them to worry about water moisture, mold build-up, and damage to property. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully inspected their basement, and drew out a few possible solutions that would fit their needs and budget. The homeowner was confident in our products and their warranties, so they went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and their production team began the project by breaking out the concrete diagonally down the middle of the basement, forming a feed line. At the end of the feed line in the corner of the basement, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three layers of water protection, solves all three water problems in one unit, and comes with a battery back-up in case of power outage or failure. To complete the installation, our team filled the open gaps with pea gravel and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement was much neater than when they found it. The homeowner was satisfied with our work, and their peace of mind is now restored!
