American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Jeff, of Fertile, MN, reached out for support with the local golf course, Sandhill River Golf Course. A 16ft. wide cart bridge on the course needed support, as the soil beneath was settling and the bridge was becoming unsafe. Design Specialist Richie went to look at the issue after Jeff contacted us for a FREE estimate. After a thorough examination, Richie recommended that Jeff and the club invest in helical deck piers. These plates have used proven structural engineering technology for years to repair damaged foundations and overcome problems caused by weak and unstable soil conditions. Weak or unstable soil near the surface isn't a problem because piers can be driven to reach robust and stable soil at greater depths. Jeff was happy with the proposal, and we got to work!

Foreman Jose and his crew installed 4 of our Helical Piers, designed to create a solid supporting base that transfers the structure's weight downwards to strong supporting soils. The helical-shaped plates on the shank of a helical pier are engineered so that the dock can be turned into the ground like a giant screw. Rotational resistance is measured as the pier is installed to ensure that the dock is solidly anchored in the soil. Our helical piers were installed to lift the bridge back to its original position. The team mechanically screwed sections of the helical pier into the soil. Once the dock met its depths, our crew installed foundation brackets below the footing. The bridge's weight could transfer through the helical pier to deep soils. Lastly, Jose and his crew replaced the soil to ensure the space looked neater than when they found it.

Terri O. of Crookston, MN had water leaking from their pre-existing sump pump, making them feel nervous about water moisture problems. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to their home, inspected their sump pump, and came up with a solution. Terri was confident in Chad's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe is made to keep basements dry for long periods of time, it provides three levels of protection, and it solves all three water problems in one system. To finish the project, our team applied new concrete around the sump pump.

Lisa and Gary B. were getting water in their basement every spring. They got sick and tired of the maintenance, so they contacted our team to schedule a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Ian, went to their home, inspected their entire basement, and drew out a solution. Lisa and Gary were confident in Ian's plan, so they signed his contract, wrote out a deposit check, and set up a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Corey, and his production crew began the project by installing 144 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Our CleanSpace is a waterproof vapor barrier that covers holes and divots, prevents mold and mildew, and directs water into the drainage system. Next, our team installed our DryTrak Baseboard Basement Drain Pipe. Our DryTrak is specifically made for floors that are poured as just one piece; the floor itself and the footing. For this system, no jackhammering is needed, it stays above the mud zone, and it collects water seepage from basement walls. Lisa and Gary were happy with the work that was done and could not believe the beautifying transformation! 

Our professionals sell and install more systems besides basement waterproofing. We also perform work in foundation repair, crawl space repair/encapsulation, radon testing/mitigation, and concrete lifting/repair. Call us today to schedule your FREE estimate! 

A homeowner in Crookston, MN had a settling and cracking exterior foundation, causing them to worry about the structural integrity of their home.

Our Design Specialist, Kole, went to the homeowner's house, carefully inspected their problems, and drew out a detailed solution. The homeowner got all of their questions answered, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew installed our Helical Piers to stabilize the home and our Wall Recovery System to rebuild the home's deteriorated foundation. The homeowner was very satisfied with the project and was grateful we were able to help them.

Kim, from Crookston, MN began to notice a bow in the foundation walls of her home. The bowing of the wall resulted in the cracks that are caused within the foundation allowing water to seep through causing a wet basement.  Kim then contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks expressing her major concern and claimed her FREE estimate entitling her to a full home inspection. Once the appointment was set our Design Specialist then attended her home and began a thorough home inspection to get a proper diagnosis of the situation and provide the best solutions to help Kim not only solve her issue but prevent any other issues from arising. Once the inspection was done, our Design Specialist recommended that Kim should invest in our PowerBrace Wall System.  Kim agreed with the solution and proceeded to schedule a date of installation.

Once set our Foreman, Cameron Phrakonekham, and his Crew began to strategically place PowerBraces around the basement, inserting a total of 6 PowerBraces to further stabilize the wall. The PowerBrace system is an I-shaped beam that stabilizes and helps straighten the bow of the wall over time. The PowerBrace system is drilled into the support beams of the home and the concrete, on which the home lies. 

Now Kim lives worry-free that the foundation of her home is in any jeopardy of worsening. If you are experiencing a similar issue contact American Waterworks today and claim your FREE estimate!!
