Waterproofing Basement System Installation in Forest Lake, MN

Stephen W. in Forest Lake, MN had water seeping into his basement and he did not have a sufficient sump pump to discharge the water from the home. He saw one of our waterproofing advertisements and decided it would be a good idea to get a FREE estimate to waterproof his basement.

Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, went to his home to inspect the situation and to develop a solution. Chad determined that the best way to ensure that Stephen would never have to worry about a wet basement would be to install WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and then install a SuperSump sump pump to properly expel the water to the outside. Stephen agreed that this was the right plan for his basement, so we sent a crew to install our system.

The installation took a couple of days, but Steven will reap the benefits of this system for a lifetime. Since the installation, he has had a dry, clean basement. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Stephen can rest easy knowing he invested in permanently protecting his home from water seeping into his home and causing damage.

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Forest Lake, MN

A homeowner in Forest Lake, MN had moisture in his crawl space, and he was concerned about the damage that was being caused. He contacted American Waterworks because he was interested in our waterproofing and encapsulation services. We sent on our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to meet with him and evaluate the situation. Shane developed a unique plan to permanently restore this homeowner’s crawl space. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew got to work and removed the debris from the crawl space. They began the project by installing our Drainage matting on the floor of the crawl space and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. Then, they installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier to completely encapsulate the space and spray foam insulation in the rim joists to prevent energy loss and keep heat in. Lastly, they installed our SaniDry dehumidifier to take care of any humidity. The homeowner is glad his crawl space is now a clean, dry, and more energy-efficient space.

Crack Filled Sidewalk Repaired in Forest Lake, MN

A homeowner in Forest Lake, MN, knew it was time to have their many sidewalk cracks filled and repaired. Wanting to avoid replacing the entire sidewalk, the homeowners wanted to look for concrete repair options. The homeowner took to social media and asked their friends' advice on the route they should take. After getting an overwhelming response, the homeowner decided to check out our Facebook page. The homeowners were extremely impressed with our previous jobs, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate.  After the details were settled, the homeowners prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists. After they arrived, the Design Specialist began inspecting the sidewalk to find the source of the issue. Once the detailed inspection was completed, the Design Specialist determined that the sidewalk was sinking and weakening. To combat these issues, the Design Specialist suggested that the sidewalk be lifted and leveled. The homeowners agreed with the Design Specialist's suggestions and production preparations commenced. Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew were assigned to complete the task, so they traveled to the home. As soon as they arrived, the crew began unloading all their products and prepping the concrete for the PolyLevel installation. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that lifts and levels sinking concrete. After the concrete was lifted and leveled, the crew turned their attention to filling the several cracks throughout the sidewalk. To fill these cracks, the crew utilized the NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant used to fill cracks and joints. Soon after the cracks and joints were filled, the crew was able to clean up their job site and leave the home. The homeowners were impressed with the crew's excellent and efficient work. American Waterworks is glad to assist another customer.
