Leaky Basement Fixed in Saint Paul, MN

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, was at his wits end with his basement. No matter what the homeowner did, one corner of his home was constantly taking on water, leaving him with puddles and musty odors. The homeowner was concerned that if he didn't address the problem now, soon his basement would be underwater. The homeowner had no idea who to contact about basement waterproofing in St. Paul, but eventually found our website. She was impressed with our basement waterproofing before and after photo sets and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo V, was headed out to the home. 

When Romeo arrived, he got right to work inspecting the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowners. Romeo explained that he believed the leaky basement could be fixed with two of our products. First, Romeo recommended our WaterGuard drain. This unique French drain gets installed around the perimeter of the basement, below the floor slab, but atop the footing of the foundation to keep it out of the 'mud zone,' where similar drains tend to clog. Romeo explained that this drain works to collect water entering through holes or cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Through his inspection, Romeo noticed that the basement of the home lacked a sump pump, so he recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an economical yet effective solution for ridding your basement of unwanted water. The homeowner liked the sound of Romeo's plan and decided to schedule the project for a month or so later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo M, and his team were able to install 49ft of WaterGuard and 1 SuperSump sump pump in the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy his basement without worries of a leaky corner! 

Concrete Lifting Before and After in Little Canada, MN

A business in Little Canada, MN was looking to fix their concrete sidewalk area after one of their employees tripped over the uneven surface. They searched for companies in the Minnesota area that specialized in concrete repair and found the American Waterworks website. They decided to give us a call for a FREE estimate to learn more about our services and what we could do for them. We received the request and sent over Design Specialist Canon Tweed to carry out the analysis of the sidewalk. Canon assured the business that we had the perfect solution to help eliminate the hazard for good. The business agreed with the proposal and the project was approved and sent to Foreman Troy Johnson and his crew. When they arrived at the site, they installed both our PolyLevel foam to raise the slabs back up and NexusPro joint sealant to seal the sidewalk. The business had a smooth surface for their employees and customers to walk on again, and they were thankful for our crew's hard work.

WaterGuard System Installed in Maplewood, MN

A homeowner in Maplewood, MN was worried about his basement when he went downstairs to the space and found some water damage to the floors in the utility room. He figured this wasn't a good sign and was determined to make a change sooner than later to prevent future issues from happening again. As he lived near the cities and knew there would be more luck with finding a service with that city name, so he looked up "waterproofing Minneapolis." The American Waterworks company website showed up and he quickly became interested in the products and services that we offered. He signed up for one of our FREE estimates and was later met by one of our Design Specialists, Darin Stenglein. Darin inspected the basement space and informed the homeowner that our WaterGuard basement drainage system and CleanSpace wall vapor barrier would be the perfect solution for his basement. The homeowner agreed to the installations and looked forward to the project moving forward. Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew went to the site and carefully installed both products. The homeowner was happy with the results and thanked our crew for their hard work.

Sinking Walkway Gets a Lift in Saint Paul, MN

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, was bringing home some groceries one day when she took a nasty tumble going up her front concrete stairs. When she turned to look to see where the hazard was, she was surprised to see that her front concrete walkway was slowly sinking and separating from his front concrete stairs. She had no idea how long the issue had been forming but knew she wanted to have it fixed. She began to look for a concrete repair company in Minnesota and eventually found our website. She signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Kyle P, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

Kyle got right to work inspecting the concrete. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that he wanted to use our PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion and, in the process, lifts the concrete back to its desired height.  Kyle went on to say that once the concrete had been lifted, he wanted to see the lift protected with our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied to the cracks and joints in the newly lifted concrete and works to prevent unwanted moisture from getting below the slab. The homeowner liked the sound of protecting his investment and decided to schedule the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dylon V, and his team were able to complete the lift, level, and seal with no issues. Now our customer can confidently walk in her front door without worries of taking a spill!

CarbonArmor Foundation Stabilization in St. Paul, MN

We were contacted by Heather and Cory, two relators out of the St. Paul area, when they had a potential bid for a house, but needed to make some repairs to the foundation before the sale was complete. After contacting us, we set them up with our FREE estimate and sent our Design Specialist, Josh, headed out to the home to assess the damage. After his thorough inspection, he found that both the South and West walls were compromised and needed stabilization. Josh recommended our CarbonArmor solution, which is the cheapest and quickest way to stabilize block and poured concrete walls that show signs of bowing. Our CarbonArmor is a super-strong carbon fiber strap that is attached to the walls in question with epoxy. With their approval, our Foreman, Raul, and his team began the process of determining the best places for the straps. Raul and his team ended up placing 11 total CarbonArmor straps on the South and West walls. Now Heather and Cory can finalize their sale knowing the foundation of their home is stabilized!
