American Waterworks Before & After Photos

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!

A homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, had a flooded basement and wanted to address the issue immediately before it led to further damage to his home. He began searching for basement waterproofing in the area and found our website. After browsing through our website, the homeowner grew impressed with our 5-star reviews and before-and-after photos. Confident we would do the job well, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection of the home, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. He informed the homeowner that their current sump pump was not working properly, as it could not remove excess water efficiently. After inspecting the home, our Design Specialist recommended WaterGuard, our below-the-floor perimeter drain system that intercepts water and sends it away safely, CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that collects water leaks and sends it to the drain system, Foamax, our advanced polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel to control humidity, our TripleSafe, our top-of-the-line sump pump system that comes with 3 levels of protection, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to leave in case the sump pump line freezes. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the installation date. 

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 125ft of WaterGuard, 110ft of Foamax, 15ft of CleanSpace, 2 IceGuard, and 1 TripleSafe sump pump. After everything was properly installed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer has a basement that will remain dry for many years to come! Have you noticed water leaking in your basement? Click HERE today and schedule your FREE estimate!

This home's foundation in Bear Lake, MN was cracking and beginning to bow. The home was older and needed some foundation help. So they contacted us to assess the problem. 

We decided to use Residential Shotcrete, which stabilizes old, deteriorating walls. This substance is twice as strong as concrete. 

Now the homeowners feel twice as safe with their newly reinforced foundation! 

A real estate agent in White Bear Lake, MN reached out to American Waterworks after a homeowner was struggling to sell their previous home.  

American Waterworks recommended installing CleanSpace, a crawl space vapor barrier, because it is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve a home.  Along with the protection from mold and rot, a dry crawl space can free their home of insects and other pests that need excess moisture to survive.  Mice and rats are deterred by the plastic vapor barrier, and flooding waters will be kept at bay.
