American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Jim M from Delano, MN noticed that his sump pump system was not draining the water efficiently causing constant water build-up. This was worrisome for Jim since he had appliances near the sump pump system that potentially damage his valuables. Jim got in contact with our Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled his FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Kyle H. Kyle headed out to Jim's property and began a thorough inspection of the home to obtain a proper diagnosis of the home and prevent any other issues from arising. Kyle proposed to Jim that the best solution to the issues he is experiencing is to invest in our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump System has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner, may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home, then the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. 

Jim agreed with the proposal and scheduled the date of installation. Our Foreman and his team then arrived at the property and began the process by tearing out the pre-existing sump pump, the team then inserts a new sump basket that helps provide not only a cleaner look but protects the pumps from being damaged by soil. Once the new sump basket is installed the TripleSafe Sump Pumps are then installed and ready to go. Once the job is done the production team then places a new layer of concrete around the TripleSafe to provide a cleaner and more finishing look. Jim was happy with the work and had a great experience with our production crew!

A homeowner in Delano, MN, noticed their sump pump was beginning to make odd sounds. Concerned by this noise, the homeowner knew they needed a professional to inspect the sump pump. The homeowners were unsure who they should reach out to, so they began researching on the internet. One of the first companies to populate was us, American Waterworks. Impressed by our list of services and high reviews, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Dylan. Once Dylan arrived, he began his evaluation of the sump pump and basement. Following his inspection, Dylan determined that the sump pump needed to be replaced. Dylan recommended that the TripleSafe sump pump be installed, and the homeowners agreed. Dylan sent the drawn-up plans to the assigned crew and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Gustavo, and his crew arrived at the home. First, the crew removed the old sump pump from the home. Once the old sump pump was removed, the crew put the TripleSafe sump pump into place. Then, the crew dug a buried discharge line outside the home. Finally, the crew installed an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. The crew wrapped up production and cleaned up their job site. The homeowners were relieved to know that they have a brand new, secure sump pump in their home. American Waterworks is happy to provide another customer peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Delano, MN, was concerned that his settled concrete slabs would be a trip hazard for guests and family members, so he decided to look into concrete lifting in the area. The homeowner then found our website and was extremely impressed with our concrete before and after transformations so he contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Gary S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection of the problem areas, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. Gary explained to the homeowner that soil washout is one of the most common causes of settled slabs. When it rains or floods, water moves through the ground and washes away supporting soil, keeping the slab upright. For this reason, Gary recommended PolyLevel, our waterproof foam expanding formula that accurately lifts sinking slabs, and NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant that is engineered to provide flexibility and long-lasting durably. The homeowner happily agreed, and Gary's design was sent to our Foreman, Sam K.

In about two weeks, Sam and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by drilling small holes into the slabs and inserting the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, causing it to lift. Once it is lifted to the desired level, the crew seals the holes with cement. Lastly, they used NexusPro to seal a few of the joints. After they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Bill B. in Rudd, IA noticed that the north side of his basement was taking on water during heavy rains. Bill had tried numerous quick fixes, but nothing he tried was a permanent solution. He decided to call the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, to his home to inspect his basement and provide him with the best long-term solution. Bill was pleased with Mac’s thorough plan, so he scheduled the installation of our waterproofing system.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system. They removed a section of the concrete floor around the perimeter and created a drainage trench. The WaterGuard is then placed within the trench and filled back with rock to fill the gaps. This keeps the drainage system out of the “mud zone”, where drains can clog. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump system which is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The water now properly flows through the drainage system and is then discharged from the home through the sump pump. Bill is now enjoying a dry, healthier basement!

Missy T. of Cushing, MN had water seeping into her crawl space, causing her to worry about pests, water moisture and humidity, and the overall value of her home. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to her home, carefully inspected her crawl space, and drew up a detailed solution that would fit her home repair needs and budget. Missy was excited about the proposal and was confident in our products, so she signed the contract, filled out a deposit check, and got an installation date on the schedule. 

Our Co-Foreman, Aaron Engen, and his crew began the project by installing our CleanSpace Moisture Vapor Barrier. Our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is a heavy-duty protectant that is used in the encapsulation process to transform the crawl space into a dry, clean, and energy-efficient part of the home. Next, our team installed our SmartDrain Drain System, which is a crawl space drain that includes a bottomless liner and an airtight lid. If a plumbing failure occurs, our SmartDrain will drain the water beneath the vapor barrier, preventing it from collecting in the crawl space. Lastly, our team applied spray foam around the floor cracks, which provides a dry and warm crawl space, while also reducing energy costs. Missy was happy with the work that was done and had a great experience from start to finish!
