American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Jordan P in Austin, MN was suffering from water leaking into his basement during heavy rains. He wanted to have his basement repaired as soon as possible, so he started looking for a waterproofing contractor. He found the American Waterworks website and was happy to see that we offer FREE estimates. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to his home to inspect his basement and provide him with a solution. Pete designed a thorough plan that was specific to Jordan’s waterproofing needs, and Jordan decided to move forward with the installation of our waterproofing system.

Our production crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system into the concrete floor and connected it to a TripleSafe sump pump, which is our most reliable sump pump. The TripleSafe is backed by three layers of protection which includes a battery backup that can pump out 11,500 gallons of water on a full charge. The water leaking into Jordan’s basement is now properly guided through the WaterGuard drainage system into the sump pump. From there, the water gets pushed through the discharge line to the outside of the home. Jordan is glad he chose a system that will protect his basement for the long-term.

Angel F. in Austin, MN had some cracks in her basement walls that were getting larger over time and putting pressure on the foundation. She was concerned about the bowing walls and the potential damage it could cause. She knew how costly it could be to replace her foundation entirely, so she started researching foundation repair contractors and was glad to see that we are experts. She contacted American Waterworks for a free estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists to evaluate her situation. She was impressed with the proposed solution and moved forward with an installation date. 

In order to fully stabilize the damaged foundation wall, our production crew installed 4 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the basement wall. The anchor rods were drilled deep into the soil outside of the home and wall plates installed on each end of the rod to secure the anchor. Then, they tightened the anchor to start the process of straightening the wall. Angel is happy she chose to permanently stabilize her home!

A homeowner in Austin, MN had water leaking throughout their basement, causing them to worry about their basement during harsh weather conditions. They got in contact with our office line and got a FREE Estimate scheduled. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully examined the issues, and drew out a solution for them and their home repair needs. The homeowner was confident in the solution, so they signed the contract and moved forward with the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which prevents water and mud clogs and collects water leakage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace prevents mold and humidity, and gives the basement a neat and clean appearance, while also keeping the basement warm. Lastly, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which solves all three water problems in one unit, provides three layers of protection, and comes up with a battery back-up, in case of power failure. To complete the project, our team covered the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. The homeowner was ecstatic with the repairs and had a great experience with our team!

A homeowner in Austin, MN had an unevenly cracked driveway, and they wanted to get it repaired rather than replaced. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist went out to their home, inspected their driveway, and drew out a detailed solution that would benefit them and their home repair needs. They were confident in our proposal and got all of their questions answered, so they scheduled a date for the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by drilling small, 3/8" holes throughout the driveway. In the holes, our team injected our PolyLevel, which is a polyurethane foam that fills the voids beneath the slab and raises the concrete. Our PolyLevel is non-destructible, it cures within 15 minutes, and it is adjustable to all sizes. Next, our team applied our NexusPro over the cracks throughout the driveway. Our NexusPro keeps moisture out of the cracks and it gives the concrete a fresh look. The homeowner was happy with the project and was beautified by the transformation!

Gary O. of Austin, MN got his house tested for radon three times, and each test result came back with 5 pCi/L, which is higher than the danger level. He found American Waterworks online, so he did some research on our website and called our office line to schedule a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to Gary's home, answered all of his questions, and drew up a plan for where to install our Radon Mitigation System. Gary was confident in Michel's proposal and our map lay-out, so he followed through with the project and got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Geno, and his crew member, Dakota, began the process by introducing themselves to Gary and his wife and ensured all of their questions were answered. After a clear introduction, our crew got to work and drilled a hole in the basement concrete floor to form a suction point. Next, our team connected PVC piping from the suction point up through the second floor to the attic, where our team installed the Radon Mitigation System. From the system, our crew formed a hole in the ceiling of the attic, leading to the roof, where the radon was able to escape the home. Gary said he had a great experience and provided a testimonial, where you can view HERE!
