American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in North Oaks, MN, noticed multiple issues in her basement, such as high moisture levels, damp walls, and standing water, and was concerned that it would lead to permanent damage to her home. The homeowner remembered that her neighbor had recently gotten their basement waterproofed, so she decided to ask them what company they went through, and she learned about American Waterworks. After browsing our website, she decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Darin S., arrived at the home to conduct a proper inspection of the basement. He informed the homeowner of the issues he noticed, such as a failing sump pump and a likely failed footing drain. Darin then created a proposal for the homeowner where he suggested installing our WaterGuard, CleanSpace wall system, Shipshape monitor, and our Zoeller M98 pump, which is capable of removing 3,900 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing Darin's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In two months, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing 45ft of our CleanSpace vapor wall system by attaching them to the walls using drilled-in fasteners. Then, the crew installed 113ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and ensured it was connected to the sump pump. The crew also replaced the pump with our Zoeller M98 before installing our Shipshape, which would monitor the system. Lastly, the crew restored the flooring by pouring concrete. Once everything was installed the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing her basement will remain dry all year long! Are you noticing standing water, damp walls or high moisture levels in your basement? Don't wait and click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate today!

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, had noticed a draft in his home. Try as he might, he could not locate the source of the draft. After weeks of dealing with the issue, it occurred to him that the draft could be coming from the crawl space beneath the home. He took to the internet to search for the 'best crawl space repair near me' and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nick S, was headed out to the home. 

When Nick arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the crawl space. When he completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to let him know the situation. Nick began by stating that the crawl space was certainly energy inefficient, letting cold and hot air in. Nick wanted to fix the issue with our TerraBlock floor insulation system. Nick explained that our TerraBlock is a durable, long-lasting insulation product designed specifically for crawl space floors to help combat these issues. Able to be installed on uneven floors, this product includes a white vapor barrier that will keep moisture from making its way up through dirt, stone, or concrete crawl space floors. It will seamlessly protect your home, keeping your energy bills low and preventing further problems caused by your crawl space from arising. Nick went on to recommend our Foamax Wall Insulation for the walls of the space. He explained that Foamax is a polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel with a white foil finish on the front and foil vapor barrier on the back. Finally, Nick recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the unfinished walls of the space, effectively sealing off the space from unwanted water, weather elements, and critters. The homeowner was thrilled with Nick's recommendations and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Diego B, and his team installed 110 sqft of Foamax, 100 sqft of TerraBlock, and 154 sqft of CleanSpace. Now that the job is completed, our homeowner is thrilled to know that his crawl space is functioning efficiently!

A Falcon Heights, MN, homeowner was chatting with a neighbor one day when he learned that they had their home mitigated for radon gas. The homeowner didn't know much about the gas, but knew that if their neighbor had it, their home could be at risk as well. He decided to find a radon mitigation professional near Falcon Heights, MN, and quickly found our website. He was impressed with our other work in the area, and decided to sign up for a FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, was headed out to the home. 

When Kyle arrived, he began the process by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. The purpose of this test is to gauge radon levels in the home over 48 hours, after which time our Design Specialist returns to the home and reads the average radon results. Once Kyle finished the rest of his inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss a plan moving forward. Kyle began by saying that the homeowner was correct to worry about radon. Kyle elaborated, saying that radon is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas that is emitted during the breakdown of the soil surrounding a home's foundation. He went on to say that radon gas is radioactive, and has been linked to the development of lung cancer, claiming 21,000 lives annually. Kyle finished by saying that if the levels returned higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly urge the homeowner to install a radon mitigation system in the home, explaining that this system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into the interior space. The homeowner was happy with Kyle's honesty and transparency about the issue, and the two decided to discuss more when the results were in. 48 hours later, the results returned far higher than 4 pCi/L, and the two began discussing installation dates. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Dakota M, and his team successfully placed our radon mitigation system within the home. Now, our customer can breathe easier knowing that the radon gas levels in his home are much lower!

A homeowner in Falcon Heights, MN, noticed the walkway to their garage was quite uneven. Worried this would become a tripping hazard, the homeowner began looking into "sunken concrete repair near Falcon Heights, MN". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our five-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists. The Design Specialist arrived and began thoroughly inspecting the walkway and driveway. The Design Specialist discovered the sidewalk was settling, which was causing the sinking. To prevent the sinking from continuing, the Design Specialist recommended installing PolyLevel. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with the Design Specialists' recommendations. Next, the homeowner passed the plans along to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. After the project was scheduled, our Logistics team assigned it to our Foreman, Troy, and his crew. A few weeks later, Troy and his team traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Troy and his crew installed PolyLevel underneath the walkway. Once the sidewalk was properly lifted, the crew took out the old joints and replaced them with NexusPro. Once all the joints were replaced, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the transformation made by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customer's damaged concrete.
