Sump Pump Upgrade Saves Lakeville, MN, Basement

A Lakeville, MN, homeowner was at his wits end with his sump system. The system had been in the home since before he could remember and was having more and more trouble keeping up with heavy water flow as the years progressed. The homeowner had one too many sump pump backups in his basement and decided to find a sump pump repair company near Lakeville, MN. When he found American Waterworks, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nick S, was out at the home. 

Once Nick completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner. Nick recommended replacing the outdated sump with our SuperSump plus sump pump. The SuperSump offers an effective and more economical solution to basement water intrusion. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for an extended period, even in times of heavy water intrusion. It boasts a powerful Zoeller 1/3 horsepower cast-iron sum pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per house at an 8-foot head out of the basement. The homeowner liked Nick's recommendation, and the two found the best day for the system to be installed. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Julio M, effortlessly placed the sump pump in the basement of the home. Now, our customer can breathe easier knowing that his home is properly defended for the spring melt!

Rock Floor Crawl Space Transformation in Webster, MN

This beautiful crawl space transformation comes to us from Webster, MN.  Originally lined with rock, it was time for a transformation to keep moisture out in the summer and heat in during the winter.  In just one day, American Waterworks was able to install our most trusted TripleSafe sump pump, CleanSpace high-performance moisture barrier and drainage matting system to align with the homeowner's waterproofing and energy efficiency goals.  

 

Settling Foundation Problem in Janesville, MN

John G. in Janesville, MN wanted to sell his home, but he had a settling foundation. In order to get the best value for his home, he needed to repair his foundation. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his foundation and provide a personalized solution. John was impressed with our products and the warranty behind them, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production crew started the installation by digging out the soil surrounding the home where the foundation was settling. Then, they installed heavy-duty steel brackets below the footing of the foundation. Next, rugged, interlocking steel pier sections are hydraulically driven through the bracket until bedrock or stable soil is reached. The weight of the home is then transferred through the piers to load-bearing soil. The installation took roughly two days to complete, but now the foundation of John’s home is permanently stabilized, and it is ready to be put on the market!

Basement Waterproofed in Janesville, MN

Bonny and Michael B. of Janesville, MN had water seeping through the walls of her basement, causing water damage and moisture corrosion. They saw that American Waterworks provided free estimates, so they called our office staff and schedule an on-site free inspection and estimate. Our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, went to their home, thoroughly inspected their problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs and budget. Bonny and Michael got all of their questions answered and were confident in Eric's presentation, so they signed the contract and followed through with the repairs. 

Our Foreman, Edgar Miranda, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Drainage System which serves as an underground drain in connection with the sump pump, prevents water and mud clogs, and collects water leakage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels around the wall perimeter. These panels provide an extra insulation protectant and comfort level for the home, they save money on energy costs, and they give the basement a neat and clean appearance. To complete the installation, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Edgar and his crew answered all of Bonny and Michael's questions, and made sure they were happy with the repairs!
