American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Sandra and William S. of Waterville, MN had water leaking into their closet, making them nervous about water damage, especially to their personal belongings. One of their friends referred American Waterworks, so they called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to their home, inspected their water problems, and came up with the solution of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Sandra and William were confident in the product and its warranty, so they went ahead with the repairs and put down their deposit. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his team began the project by breaking out a hole in the concrete. In the hole, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which is the best sump pump that we provide for customers. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection, solves all three water problems in one system, and keeps basements dry for very long periods of time. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Sandra and William were happy with the repairs and had a great experience! 

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!

A homeowner from Clarks Grove, MN, had been keeping an eye on his bowing wall for some time now. Over the years, he had noticed it worsening and was now ready to take action. He had no idea who handled foundation repair in Minnesota but decided to hunt down a contractor. He took to the internet in search of structural foundation repair near Clarks Grove, MN, and eventually found our website. He was impressed by our positive reviews and extensive work in the foundation repair industry. He decided to schedule his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists, Ryan K, was heading out to the home.  

Ryan got right to work evaluating the space. Once he finished, he was ready to make his recommendations. Ryan began by explaining that foundation walls are designed to support loads from above, not from the side. When the side pressure on your wall exceeds its ability to withstand the force, it begins to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt inward at the top. Ryan went on to say that while full replacement of the failing wall was a possibility, it was also expensive, invasive, and time-consuming, but if the soil conditions didn't change, the same problem would occur over time. For this reason, Ryan recommended our GeoLock anchors. Wall anchors counteract soil pressure by anchoring the wall to the stable, undisturbed soil outside of your home. After installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner liked Ryan's plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

When the project date rolled around, our Foreman, Jorge M, and his team were able to effortlessly install 13 of our GeoLock anchors around the basement of the home. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his foundation worries are in the past!
