Leaky Basement Gets a Sump Pump in New Richland, MN

A New Richland, MN, homeowner was facing an issue. Each time there was rain in his area, his basement would fall victim to water intrusion. He didn't want to deal with the problem anymore but wasn't sure how to go about fixing it. One day he found himself at a home show in Owatonna, MN, and as he was wandering through the rows of vendors, he met our Design Specialist, Brad W, at our booth. He and Brad got to talking about his leaky basement, and Brad said he would be more than happy to visit his home and complete one of our FREE estimate appointments into the issue. The homeowner was more than happy to have Brad out to his home, and scheduled the appointment for the following week.

On the day of the inspection, Brad headed out to the house and got right to work looking at the basement. Once he finished, he met with the homeowner. Brad recommended the installation of SuperSump sump pump. Brad explained that the SuperSump is an effective and economical solution to basement flooding. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Diego, and his team placed one SuperSump sump pump in the basement with no complications. Now, our customer can enjoy the rainfall, knowing his basement is protected!

Interior Drainage System Installed in Kiester, MN

Heather A. of Kiester, MN had water seeping from her floor joists, making her worry about her home conditions, especially during harsh weather conditions. She called our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared Bruns. Jared went to her home, carefully inspected her water problem, and came up with a solution that fit her needs and budget. She was confident with Jared's solution of our WaterGuard Drainage System, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. Homeowners appreciate how quickly this system is installed because it is done with minimal removal of the slab and all of the removed concrete is restored during the installation. So, just like that, Kiko and his team covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete.

Sunken Driveway Gets Raised in Lakeland, MN

Tom G. in Lakeland, MN had a sunken and cracked driveway that caused the surface to be uneven and dangerous. He started researching concrete repair options and he discovered American Waterworks. He was intrigued to learn more about our PolyLevel concrete repair solution, so he contacted us to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Kevin McWithey, went onsite to evaluate his concrete and provide him with a solution. Tom was pleased to learn that our PolyLevel concrete repair solution is faster, durable and more affordable than traditional concrete repair, so he decided to move forward with the project.  

Our PolyLevel experts drilled small holes into the concrete slabs on his driveway that needed to be raised. Then, they injected the polymer foam until the slabs became level with the garage floor and the trip hazard was eliminated. Then, they sealed the holes with concrete and caulked the cracks in the concrete with our NexusPro sealant to protect the concrete and give it a nice, finished look. Tom is pleased with the outcome and he is glad he chose American Waterworks to repair his concrete!

Sinking Sidewalk Lifted in Lakeland, MN

A homeowner in Lakeland, MN, noticed their sidewalk was a mess. Knowing this could become a tripping hazard, the homeowners wanted to have this resolved. The homeowners did not want to replace their entire sidewalk, so they searched for a repair option. While going through all the companies, the homeowner was impressed by the work done by us, American Waterworks. After seeing we offer FREE estimates, the homeowner called our Appointment Center to set up their consultation. After the date was set, the homeowners prepared for the arrival of Design Specialist, Gary. Once Gary arrived, he began his detailed inspection of the sidewalk. Gary determined that the sidewalk was sinking and causing all the issues. Gary recommended that the sidewalk be lifted and leveled to even it all out. The homeowners agreed to Gary's suggestions and production commenced. Our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the project. First, the crew inserted the PolyLevel underneath the sinking sidewalk. Once the sidewalk was lifted to the appropriate level, the crew shifted their focus to replacing the old joints. To replace the joints, the crew utilized the NexusPro Joint Sealant. After all the new joints were filled, the crew could clean up their materials and leave the home. The homeowners were impressed that their sidewalk looked as good as new. American Waterworks is happy to assist its customers with their concrete lifting and leveling needs. 

Bowing Block Foundation Stabilized in Freeborn, MN

Arik M. in Freeborn, MN had a bowing wall in his garage. He was concerned about the pressure this was putting on his foundation, so he contacted the foundation repair experts at American Waterworks. We sent a Design Specialist to inspect his garage and provide him with a free estimate. After the inspection, our Specialist recommended that we install wall anchors to straighten and stabilize the wall. Arik felt that our solution was the best fit for his needs, so he decided to move forward with the project.

Our crew installed the wall anchors by drilling long, metal rods through the wall and then securing both ends of the rods with anchor plates. Our anchors are designed to install quickly and with minimal disruption to the home and landscaping. They are designed with galvanized steel, which allows for long-term corrosion resistance. Arik’s peace of mind has been restored knowing that his foundation wall is now permanently secure.
