American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Debbie D. in Lonsdale, MN had an older home with a severely cracked foundation and inward bowing walls. She was concerned about the structural integrity of her foundation and worried that it would negatively influence the value of her home. She started doing some research online and was happy to learn that American Waterworks has been the leading foundation repair contractor in the region for 30 years! We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to inspect her home and propose the best, cost-effective solution. Debbie was impressed with the presentation and our products, and she moved forward with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production crew were able to successfully stabilize Debbie’s foundation with the installation of 13 PowerBraces along the deteriorating foundation walls. The team started the installation by securing brackets into the floor as well as the rim joists. Then, they installed the PowerBraces into the brackets and tightened them as far as they could go. PowerBraces do not require outside excavation, so it is less invasive than other foundation repair options. Debbie is happy with the results, and she is glad she made the investment to protect the foundation of her home!  

Jamie and Joe F. of Lonsdale, MN had water leaking through their basement window. They got in contact with American Waterworks and had our company out to their house to inspect the problems. They were confident in the proposal of our EverLast Basement Windows, so they decided to schedule a FREE estimate. 

Our Foreman and his crew broke out the pre-existing window and window well and replaced it with our EverLast Replacement Basement Windows as well as our SunHouse Window Well. Both of these systems help prevent water from leaking into the basement and they help with energy efficiency. Is water leaking into your basement?

A homeowner from Lonsdale, MN, got in contact with us when she decided it was time to fix an uneven portion of her front walkway. She had heard from a friend that uneven concrete can impact the resale of a home and wanted to make sure that, when the time was right, her house would be in tip-top shape. On the referral of a friend, she decided to call American Waterworks to see what could be done. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dave S, headed out to the home to complete her FREE estimate inspection into the issue. 

Once Dave completed his inspection, he informed the homeowner that we could fix her sinking concrete issue using our PolyLevel lifting and leveling solution. PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam, expands when it's injected beneath concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back into place. He went on to say that our process is complete with the application of our NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant that gets applied to the joints and cracks in the concrete, preventing any unwanted elements from getting below the slab. The homeowner agreed with the proposed work, and the project was scheduled for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Ryan T, headed out to the home and completed the job to the customer's satisfaction. Once the job was complete, our customer was thrilled to know that her curb appeal had been restored!

Gregg P. had water leaking into his basement due to a failed sump pump. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to his home to inspect his problem and develop a solution. Gregg was pleased with Shane's proposal, so he scheduled to have our waterproofing system installed. 

Our production team installed a lateral line and a SuperSump sump pump, which now properly expels water from the home. The installation only took a day to complete. Gregg is glad he chose to invest in the long-term protection of his basement.

Susan K. of Marine On St Croix, MN had water issues in her basement, causing leaks and water moisture. One of her peers referred American Waterworks to her, so she got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to Susan's house, carefully examined her basement, and drew out some solutions that would work for her and her situation. Susan was comfortable in Chad's plan of our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his production crew started the installation by jackhammering out the concrete floor perimeter by forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which prevents mud and water clogs, has easily accessible service ports, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent mold and humidity, save money on energy costs, and cover any uneven surfaces or divots. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring that Susan was happy in the process.
