Ron, from Eagle Bend, MN, was looking for some solutions for his late father's cabin space. The basement was experiencing water intrusion, and so he and his brother decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property.
Following a thorough inspection, Kole gave his recommendations to Ron, suggesting that they invest in our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog.
Ron agreed, and our crew got to work.
First, Ou Foreman, Arturo, and his crew began implementing our WaterGuard System, which is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, its easy-to-access service ports, and its ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.
The drainage system now properly guides water to the Super Sump Plus pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home.
Finally, the team proceeded to install the CleanSpace wall System around the perimeter of the basement. Our CleanSpace Wall System is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners so it never falls.
After all was said and done, Ron was very glad he and his brother made the decision to call American Waterworks and had their peace of mind restored.
Wayne R. in Lake Mills, IA had a sump pump that was unable to keep up with the amount of water that was leaking into his basement. He was hoping to find a sump pump that was able to handle the water, so he contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent Dylan Woitas, one of our Design Specialists, to his home to inspect the problem to first hand and recommend a solution. Wayne enjoyed working with Dylan and was pleased with his solution, so he scheduled the installation.
Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his crew installed a TripleSafe sump pump in place of the old sump pump. The process only took half a day. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump with three levels of protection. Wayne now has peace of mind that his basement is protected by our durable sump pump system.

A homeowner in Saint Martin, MN, saw cracks in their wall grow over time. Uncertain about what is causing the cracks, the homeowner called American Waterworks and signed up for a FREE estimate. Once all the appointment details were set in stone, we sent out our Design Specialist, Daniel, to provide the homeowners with answers. Following his detailed inspection, Daniel discovered that the crack wall was beginning to fail. Daniel suggested that the foundation be stabilized to save the wall and basement. Wanting to save their basement, the homeowners agreed and preparations began. Our Foreman, Rual, and his crew made it to the property and began installation. First, the crew started by installing four GeoLock Anchors on the south basement wall. After the GeoLock Anchors were installed, CarbonArmor was applied on the east and west basement walls. After the CarbonArmor was installed, the crew cleaned up and headed on their way. The homeowners were relieved that their walls were stabilized and the home was no longer at risk.
The homeowner in Clear Lake Iowa wanted to level off a sinking slab near their front step. Using our PolyLEVEL system, American Waterworks was able to adjust the slab back to it's original position.
