SilverGlo and SentrySeal Protect Foundation in Geneva, MN

Danielle B. in Geneva, MN contacted American Waterworks as a returning customer after being satisfied with some of her previous projects with us. She was interested in our SentrySeal and SilverGlo products to help with some of the insulation and moisture issues around her foundation. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production crew started the installation by digging out the soil surrounding the home. Then, they were able to install our SentrySeal Waterproofing Membrane to the exterior foundation and our SilverGlo Insulation System to hold back moisture and ensure energy-efficient insulation. SilverGlo combines highly effective graphite-impregnated insulation with a built-in radiant heat barrier surface. This gives the foundation walls an unbroken plane of R-11 insulation. Danielle was impressed with the quick installation, and his happy she chose American Waterworks for her foundation wall repair needs! 

Failed Sump Pump Replaced in Lake Mills, IA

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.

Wet Basement Walls In Kenyon, MN

There's no greater solution to a wet basement than a WaterGuard basement waterproofing system combined with a CleanSpace vapor barrier encapsulation system as you will see in this before and after from another satisfied customer in Kenyon, MN.  

One of the key ingredients in this project was the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting in through their foundation. The encapsulation system will now guide water leaking in through the foundation walls and redirect it to their Waterguard perimeter floor drainage system and ultimately drain into the SuperSump sump pump.

Failing Foundation Repaired with SmartJacks in Kenyon, MN

Lee C. in Kenyon, MN contacted American Waterworks because he noticed the beams in his basement were sagging, he had cracks in the drywall, sticking doors, and unlevel floors. All of these are symptoms of a failing foundation and only get worse over time. Lee met with one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, who recommended he have our structural support jacks and supplemental support beams installed to stop any further deterioration. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew got to work and installed 10 SmartJacks and supplemental beams throughout the basement to straighten and strengthen the sagging floors. Because of its design, the SmartJack can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. Lee’s peace of mind has been restored, knowing he chose a permanent solution to restore the stability of his home.

Sunken Driveway Causing Safety Hazard in Clarks Grove, MN

Suzanne P. in Clarks Grove, MN was struggling with her sunken driveway. It had become a challenge for her to get in and out of the garage with her wheelchair because of the large bump. She stopped by the American Waterworks booth at a local home show and was pleased to learn about our concrete repair solutions. Our Design Specialist, Pete Wangen, went to her home to inspect her concrete, develop the right solution for her situation and provide her with a FREE estimate. She enjoyed working with Pete and was eager to have her concrete raised so, she scheduled to have our crew come out as soon as possible.

Our concrete repair experts drilled small holes into the concrete slabs where the driveway needed to be raised. Then, they injected a polymer foam called PolyLevel, until it was raised to be even with the garage floor. Lastly, they filled the holes with concrete and sealed the cracks in the driveway with our NexusPro sealant. The sealant helps to protect the concrete and also gives it a nice, finished look. The process only took a couple of hours, and Suzanne was amazed with the finished product! She was impressed with how polite our crew was and how quickly they completed the project. She is very happy she chose American Waterworks to repair her concrete!
