American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A Saint Paul, MN, homeowner had been facing an issue with his sump pump for a while. Over the years, the system had started to display problems such as loud and unusual noises, cycling in times of no water intrusion, and not functioning when the basement needed it the most. He decided to find a sump pump repair company near Saint Paul, MN, and quickly found us and signed up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, headed out to the home. He completed his thorough inspection of the basement and then met with the homeowner to go over his findings. Ryan began by saying that while the outdated sump pump was not helping the basement, he found evidence of water intrusion in other areas, indicating that the problem was spreading, meaning a sump pump might not be enough to deal with excess water. Ryan first recommended our CleanSpace, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly to foundation walls to direct water downward into a perimeter drain. In this case, Ryan recommended the drain to be our WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is a below-floor French drain that acts as a channel, directing water entering it to the appropriate disposal site. When Ryan got to the sump, he recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an economical, yet effective system for removing water from a space. The homeowner was thrilled with Ryan's recommendations and scheduled the project for several weeks later.

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco E, and his team installed 27ft of WaterGuard, 13ft of CleanSpace, and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can enjoy a dry and healthy basement!

A homeowner in St. Paul, MN, disliked the appearance of their uneven driveway. Knowing they needed professional assistance, the homeowner began looking into options near them. After searching for 'concrete repair mn', one of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed by our award-winning products and stellar customer service, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Mitch, to inspect the driveway and sidewalk. Mitch arrived at the home and introduced himself to the homeowner. After greeting the homeowner, he started his detailed inspection. Mitch discovered that the driveway was starting to settle, causing the uneven appearance. Once he found the cause, he was able to provide a solution for the homeowner. Mitch presented his plan of action and the homeowner agreed. Soon after he received his stamp of approval, the plans were finalized by the office and then sent to our Foreman, Troy. Troy and his crew traveled to the home and began the lift. To lift the affected concrete, the crew utilized PolyLevel, our polyurethane foam injection solution. After the PolyLevel was fully installed, the crew took out all the joints and replaced them with NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based solution. Once the entire project was completed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist its customers repair their concrete. 

A Saint Paul, MN, homeowner got in contact when she suspected her basement of taking on water. Our Design Specialist, Ryan K, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After Ryan finished his thorough inspection, he was ready to make his recommendations. First, Ryan wanted to use our Basement to Beautiful wall panels. These panels are the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient basement. Designed with the unique, advanced SilverGlo™ graphite-infused foam insulation, this insulation provides 24% more energy savings than conventional foam products. At 2 ½" thick and R-13 insulation, Basement To Beautiful™ panels create a warm, protective blanket around your basement that will never rot or support mold growth. Next, Ryan recommended our WaterGuard drain. This unique french drain is installed below the slab of the floor, but atop the footing of the foundation. Using this placement helps keep this drain out of the 'mud zone' where other drains of its nature tend to clog. It works to catch water coming up through the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to the appropriate disposal site. In this case, the basement lacked a means of disposal, so Ryan recommended our TripleSafe sump pump. This pump is the most reliable in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for both your peace of mind and your basement. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, Jesus C, one of our Foreman, led his team through the flawless installation of 130ft of WaterGuard, 127 linear ft of Basement to Beautiful, and 2 TripleSafe sump pump. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that her basement water troubles have been handled! 

Daniel F., a resident of Saint Paul, MN had a deteriorating foundation wall, as well as a musty and sagging ceiling and crawl space in his basement, causing him to worry severely about the value of his home. He got in contact with our office staff at American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan. Dylan went to his home, carefully inspected his wall and crawl space, and drew out a solution that worked for Daniel and his home repair needs. After a thorough discussion about the solution, Daniel felt comfortable with our products and their warranties, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Dylon, and his production team started the installation by installing our 5'-7' SmartJacks, which are made to support sloping and springy floors. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Moisture Barrier in the crawl space, which is made to keep the crawl space dry and protects the space from wood rot or mold. Next, our team installed our 1'-3' SmartJacks in the crawl space, which is very compatible with our vapor barrier because it prevents mold and humidity while also repairing the structure. Next, Dylon and his team applied our spray-on solution called ShotLock around the foundation wall perimeter. Our ShotLock repairs deteriorating walls and it is twice as strong as concrete. Lastly, our team applied new concrete throughout the entire basement floor, which gives the space a neat and clean finish. Daniel was thrilled with the work and had a great experience with our team!
