American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Austin, MN, had recently learned about the dangers of radon gas and the risks it poses to households. She was concerned that radon gas could be in the air she and her family were breathing, so she decided to find a Minnesota radon mitigation specialist who could help. On the recommendation of a friend, he decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist was headed out to the home. 

When he arrived, he got right to work placing a continuous radon monitoring system, which works to collect radon levels in the home, reporting the average level after a certain time. Our Design Specialist explained that if the levels of radon came back higher than 4 pCi/Ls, he would recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. A typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner agreed with our Design Specialists plan, but decided to wait until the levels returned to make a choice. Several days later, the results returned, indicating higher-than-normal levels of radon in the home. The homeowner called our Design Specialist to schedule the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to successfully install the system. Now, our customer has peace of mind knowing that only the healthiest air is circulating in her home! 

A homeowner from Austin, MN, was in the middle of a remodel when he yanked out a section of drywall and uncovered his basement wall was cracking in several locations. He took to the internet to search for 'foundation crack repair company near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. He was impressed with the other work we had done in his area and signed up for his FREE estimate.

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brady S, headed out to the home to conduct his inspection. Once he completed his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner. He informed them that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not from the side. So when the side pressure on a wall exceeds what is can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to observe cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top of the wall. Brady quickly followed up, explaining that the issue was serious, but American Waterworks had a fix. Brady recommended our PowerBrace wall repair system, explaining that our PowerBraces are an adjustable steel I-beam system with two important benefits: stabilizing bowed or tilting walls and (over time) forcing bowed or tilting wall sections back to their original position. The homeowner was thrilled by the solution and signed on the spot. 

A month later, our Foreman, Jorge M, and his crew were headed out to the home. When they had finished, they had effortlessly installed 7 PowerBrace's on the problem wall. Now, our customer can continue with his remodel knowing that the bones underneath are stable and sound!

A homeowner in Kasson, MN contacted us because her front stoop had sunk and one of the slabs of concrete leading to the stoop was also sinking. She had heard about our PolyLevel injection and was intrigued to find out more. After speaking with a design specialist and finding out that PolyLevel is a durable, faster and more affordable solution for concrete repair, she decided it was the right option for her.

One of our PolyLevel experts, Brandon Wiskow, successfully raised and leveled the concrete on her front stoop. She was pleased with how quick and non-invasive the process was.

Doug and DeLaine A. of Kasson, MN had bowing walls in their basement and didn’t want it to get worse. They did some research and called American Waterworks to set up a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, to talk to them about our foundation repair products and to come up with a solution. After an in-depth diagnosis, Doug and DeLaine liked the proposal that Chad offered so they went ahead with the project.

Our foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew began the install by digging three small holes outside and in the back of the home. In each hole, they installed a long, metal rod from the soil through the bowing wall. On each end of the rod, they mounted and twisted on our GeoLock Wall Anchors, which is a unique wall anchor system that indestructibly evens out your foundation wall. After installation and over time, the anchors can be tightened to further strengthen the walls and pull them back to a regular position. To complete the installation, our crew replaced the soil and made sure the yard was neat and clean. Doug and DeLaine were thrilled and excited that they chose American Waterworks to save their basement!

Shirley of Kasson, MN noticed that there was a crack on the exterior side of her foundation wall that was caused by the bowing of the wall. Shirley began to worry about the structural integrity of her home and contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks to claim her FREE estimate, entitling her to a free home inspection to resolve the issue Shirley is experiencing. Once an appointment was scheduled and set our Design Specialist headed out to Shirley's property and began a thorough home inspection to get a proper diagnosis of the home and provide the best solution that would prevent any other issues from arising. He proposed to Shirley that the best solution would be to invest in our GeoLock Wall Anchors. Our Anchor System is made to stabilize the foundation by anchoring walls to hard compact soil beyond the foundation, pulling the wall back to its original position. Shirley agreed with the proposal and scheduled the date of installation.  Once set our Foreman, Raul, and his team arrived at the scene they began by digging three small holes on the inside of the garage. Once dug, the production crew drilled a metal rod through the exterior of the problem wall to each designated hole. Attached at the end of the rod is a GeoLock Wall Anchor which could be tightened to further stabilize the wall. When the wall anchors have been installed the crew then backfilled the holes inside the garage and poured concrete over the holes to provide a more finishing look. Shirley was happy with the installation and is now worry-free that her foundation is in danger.
