American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A customer from Maplewood, MN, got in contact with us when he began to notice unwanted water on the floor of his basement. He was afraid that if he didn't take action and correct the issue, it would continue to damage his property, making any potential resale tough in the future. When he called in, our Appointment Center set him up with our FREE no-obligation estimate. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist headed out to the property to do a thorough inspection of the issue. When he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make recommendations as to how we could best help the situation. He began by explaining to the homeowner that the water was intruding through a crack in the wall. He wanted to address the issue by installing our WaterGuard french drainage system. He wanted to pair this product with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that the CleanSpace vapor barrier is a tarp-like material that works to trap any water entering the property behind it, draining it down the plastic and into the WaterGuard drainage system that lies beneath the floor, catching the water driven downwards by the CleanSpace. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Lane, and his crew ended up installing a foot of WaterGuard and CleanSpace under and on top of the problem wall. When the work was completed our customer was happy to know he could go back to enjoying his basement, completely moisture free! 

Micela and Will from St. Paul, MN got in contact with us when they began to notice that their basement wall was beginning to show signs of bowing. They were afraid that if they left the issue unresolved, they could face serious damage to the structural integrity of the home. When they called in, we set them up with our FREE estimate, entitling them to a thorough, no-obligation estimate by a member of our Sales team. Shortly after scheduling, our Design Specialist, Michele, headed out to the property to do a walkthrough. Once he completed his inspection he was able to make his recommendations. He recommended our GeoLock wall anchors to fix the situation. He explained that these locks will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home. He went on to say that, as the house shifts and settles more, the anchors can be tightened to give homeowners peace of mind for years to come. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Raul and his crew installed 5 of our anchors throughout the basement. Once the job was complete, the couple was happy to know they didn't need to worry about their foundation anymore! 

A homeowner from St. Paul, MN got in touch with us when he noticed that his floor over his crawl space was beginning to slope inwards. Concerned that the issue might be tough to fix, the homeowner got in touch with us to see if we could help. We set him up with our FREE estimate and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Daniel, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After Daniel completed his inspection, he let the homeowner know that he was experiencing slopping floors because the beams that held up the ceiling of the crawl space had been compromised. Daniel went on to say that water intrusion had led the wooden beams to rot. He explained that he had a few options to restore the stability of the crawl space and ensure that water intrusion would be a thing of the past. Daniel laid out his plan and started by recommending our SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizers to address the sloping. He informed the homeowner that our SmartJack is an adjustable supplemental support beam specifically used for sagging crawl spaces, as it can often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. Made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel, these beams do not develop rust, and remain adjustable for years should you need to perform future adjustments. Next, he recommended using our Crawl Space Waterproofing systems, a combination of crawl space vapor barrier, crawl space drainage matting, and our SmartPipe drain. Daniel explained that these products work hand in hand to eliminate unwanted water from the space and provide a healthy, clean, and insulated crawl space. The homeowner agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his team began the process by installing 14 of our SmartJacks throughout the crawl space of the home. Next, they laid 776 sqft of drainage matting and another 1040 sqft of vapor barrier throughout the space. Now that the job is completed our homeowner is elated to know he no longer needs to worry about the structural integrity of his home! 

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, was noticing dangerous trip hazards forming beyond a set of concrete stairs, leading to her backyard. Not wanting anyone to take an unnecessary tumble, she decided to get in touch with a company to fix the issue. On the recommendation of a family member, she got in touch with American Waterworks, set up her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Canon T, headed out to the home to assess the concrete.

Once his inspection concluded, Canon informed the homeowner that we could remedy the sinking concrete by using our PolyLevel. Canon explained that PolyLevel is a dense, polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath sinking concrete, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the slab back into place. He went on to say that we finish all of our lifts with the application of our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to the cracks and joints of the concrete and works to prevent unwanted debris or moisture from getting beneath the slab, potentially comprising the lift. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan, and the job was scheduled to be completed a month or so later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jordan, and his team were able to complete the lift and seal with no complications. Now our homeowner can breathe easy knowing her trip hazards have been fixed! 

A homeowner from Maplewood, MN, was beginning to notice that a section of her concrete patio was beginning to sink. She had been aware of the issue for a few years and had kept a close eye on it. The concrete had sunken more and was now becoming a huge tripping hazard. Now wanting to sacrifice safety in her outdoor oasis, the homeowner decided to find a company to fix the problem. One day, she saw an American Waterworks ad on TV and decided to give us a call to set up her FREE estimate appointment. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, headed out to the home. 

Once Kyle completed his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to let her know that we could fix the sinking patio with the help of our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a dense, polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath sinking slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the slab back into place. He went on to say that we completed our lifts with the installation of our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied directly to the cracks and joints in the concrete and works to keep moisture and debris away from the soil beneath the slab. The homeowner agreed with Kyle's plan and scheduled the work to be completed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Sam, and his team were able to lift and seal the entire patio. Now our customer can relax in her outdoor space without worrying about trip hazards!
