American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Northfield, MN, was in the process of renovating his home for eventual resale. A huge portion of the work to be completed was replacing old and outdated egress windows to meet new building code requirements for emergency egress. The homeowner had no idea who to contact for this project. Through his internet searches, he found our website. He was impressed with our Rockwell egress well, and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Tony B, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

Tony completed his inspection and then met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendation, our RockWell window well. RockWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. Click the arrows below to learn more about the features and benefits of our egress window wells. RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust, and rot-proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. Our egress window wells meet the IRC Egress Code Requirements, providing you and your family with a direct escape from any of the inhabited rooms in your basement. RockWell’s egress window wells feature durable, built-in steps that make it easy for your family to escape from your basement in the event of an emergency. We also offer safety ladders for our Premier series window wells. A polycarbonate safety cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural sunlight and fresh outside air to enter your basement. While they are not intended for continual foot traffic, the 10mm fluted polycarbonate cover will hold up to 500 lbs. of weight and prevent family members from accidentally falling into the window well. The homeowner liked the sound of new and updated means of egress, and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jose C, led his team through the successful replacement of the two old window wells. Now our customer can confidently resell his home knowing that his home is up to code!

A Northfield, MN, homeowner was facing an issue with his basement. Each time it rained, the homeowner was left with standing water in his space due to leaky walls. He took to the internet to search for 'basement leak repair near me' and quickly found the American Waterworks website. He was impressed with our reviews and photo sets and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dustin L, was headed out to the home to perform his inspection. At the end of his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to inform him that we had a solution to his damp basement nightmares. Dustin recommended a combination of our products. First, he recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% tarp-like material that gets installed directly to the unfinished walls of the basement, functioning to catch water entering through holes and cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into our perimeter drain, WaterGuard. This unique French drain is inconspicuously installed below the floor of the basement, atop the footing of the foundation, and works to give the water draining down the wall from the CleanSpace, and water entering through floor joints, a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Dustin had noted that the basement lacked a sump system, so he recommended our SuperSump plus sump system, an affordable yet effective means of riding your basement of unwanted water. The homeowner needed some time to think about Dustin's proposal but ended up calling back a week or so later to set a date for installation. 

About a month later, our Foreman, Luis D, and his team were in the basement of the home installing our systems. When they had finished, the team had effortlessly placed 50ft of WaterGuard, 1 SuperSump plus sump pump, and 47 ft of CleanSpace. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing his basement is properly defended against water!

Having a damp or wet basement can create more than just a headache. Problems like this can make bigger problems such as mold, rot, structural damage, and health problems. Some of the symptoms to keep an eye out for are wet basement floors, leaking basement walls, standing water, smelly odors, condensation, and sump pump problems.

A resident of Bayport, MN had similar problems with their situation. They had water seeping into their family room and they wanted to get it fixed up before it caused more damage. They had previous work done by American Waterworks and they had a good experience, so they worked with American Waterworks again. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house for a FREE estimate, carefully inspected their problems, and drew up a plan that would work for them and their needs. After a thorough conversation with our Design Specialist, the homeowner moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which prevents mud clogs and collects water leakage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which prevents mold and humidity and saves money on energy efficiency. Lastly, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three layers of protection and solves all three water problems in one system. The homeowner was thrilled with the work and had a wonderful experience from start to finish! 

Groundwater was leaking through Sandie K.'s basement carpet, causing her to worry about the value of her home and property damage. She found an American Waterworks advertisement in her phonebook, so she called our office number and requested a FREE Estimate with one of our design team. One of our Design Specialists went to her home, inspected the problems, and proposed the solution of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Sandie was confident in the product and its warranty, so she went ahead with the repairs and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor with a jackhammer, forming a round hole. In the hole, our team installed our sump basket, followed by the pumps and battery back-up. Our TripleSafe solves all three water problems in one system, it provides three layers of water protection, and it is the most reliable sump pump that we offer for homeowners. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it, ensuring the basement was cleaner than when they found it.

John L. of Houlton, WI had cracked concrete on the front porch of his home, and he wanted to repair it rather than replace it. He saw an American Waterworks google advertisement on our concrete repair products. He called our office line to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist. After a thorough and in-depth inspection, John was comfortable with the design, so he followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Brandon Wiskow, and his crew member injected our PolyLevel underneath the concrete to raise and stabilize the concrete surface. Our PolyLevel is a dense, waterproof, and non-invasive foam that cures concrete within minutes. Next, our team applied our NexusPro on the cracks to prevent moisture from seeping into the soil. Our NexusPro gives the concrete a clean appearance and it provides long-term flexibility. John was thrilled with the work and appreciated the value of his home!
