American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A new homeowner from Minneapolis, MN, went down to her basement after a particularly hard rain and was shocked to notice that she had standing water in several parts of her basement. Frazzled by her discovery, she quickly took to the internet to search for Minneapolis basement waterproofing. After a few hours of combing through different websites, she landed on our page. She was thoroughly impressed by our basement waterproofing before and after images and decided to sign up for our FREE estimates. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. After conducting his inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss his findings. Derek wanted to use several of our products to complement each other and most importantly, to keep water off the basement floor. First, Derek recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier be installed on the leaky walls. Derek explained that our CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that gets applied directly to unfinished basement walls, and works to direct water entering through the wall, downward, and into a perimeter drain, which, in this case, Derek wanted to be our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor slab but on top of the foundation footing, keeping it out of the "mud zone" where similar drains tend to clog. Because the CleanSpace runs into the WaterGuard, it collects water entering from the wall, and small porous cracks or holes in the floor, giving the water a channel to flow to the appropriate disposal site. Derek noticed the lack of drainage from the basement itself and urged the homeowner to add one because of the large amount of water entering the space. Derek recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an effective and economical solution. This sump is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. Derek went on to say that the SuperSump can be installed with the optional UltraSump battery backup, which is designed to provide reliable, high-volume pumping capability when the electrical grid goes down. After Derek and the homeowner discussed options, she was thrilled to know that our solution would keep her basement dry and healthy for years to come and decided to schedule the installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Kiko P, led his team through the installation with a breeze. When they finished, they installed 14ft of WaterGuard, 1 SuperSump Sump Pump, 1 UltraSump battery backup, and 24 ft of CleanSpace throughout the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy her largest investment knowing that it is properly protected from unwanted water!

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN, had just learned about the dangers of radon gas in a household. She didn't know much about Minneapolis radon companies, so she took to the internet. After searching for Minneapolis radon mitigation, she quickly found our website. She was impressed with our photo galleries of other radon systems we had installed in her area, so she signed up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo V, was headed out to the home. 

When Romeo arrived, his first order of business was placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test functions to capture radon levels within the home over a 48-hour timespan, delivering the average level of radon after the test. Romeo explained to the homeowner that, should the levels come back higher than 4 pCi/L, she should strongly consider a radon mitigation system. He explained that a typical radon mitigation 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 interior space. He went on to say that, when installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner liked Romeo's comprehensive plan and decided to wait until her levels returned to make a choice. A few days later, Romeo returned to the home to collect the results, which returned well above the Environmental Protection Agency recommended level of 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner worked with Romeo to find a good installation date. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno, led his team through a seamless installation of the mitigation system. When they concluded, our customer was happy to know that she and her family would be breathing in clean air from now on!

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN was tired of dealing with the uneven concrete slabs that made up his front sidewalk. He decided to make a change and contact a company that would be able to make repairs and resolve the issue. He came across the American Waterworks page in his searching and was familiar with the name. What sealed the deal was reading all of the positive reviews past customers had written about our services and exceptional team members. He signed up for a FREE estimate with us and was greeted at his home by Design Specialist Rick Weber. Rick assured the homeowner that the problem was fixable with some of our products, PolyLevel and NexusPro. The homeowner was happy with Rick's detailed explanations and agreed to move forward with plans. We sent over one of our Foreman, Ryan Trogstad, and his crew members to carry out the installations. They carefully lifted the concrete areas with the PolyLevel, a polyurethane formula that stabilizes and lifts sinking concrete, and filled in the joints and cracks with NexusPro, a durable, silicone-based sealant. The crew cleaned up when they finished and made sure the homeowner was pleased with the results.

A homeowner in Saint Anthony, MN, discovered a separation between his concrete stairs and sidewalk. Knowing it could turn into a serious issue, the homeowner wanted to find the best concrete repair company to complete the job. After doing research, the homeowner determined that American Waterworks was the best fit. The homeowner went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Gary, drove to the home to take a look at the issue. After he completed his inspection, Gary recommended that a majority of the concrete in front of the home be lifted and leveled. The homeowners agreed and the repair preparations began. Our Foreman, Troy, and his crew started by using the PolyLevel to lift the driveway apron, driveway slabs, and patio. Once the PolyLevel was installed, the crew went in with NexusPro to fill the joints throughout the driveways. The crew completed the repair and left the driveway as good as new. The homeowners were thankful that their driveway was properly repaired. American Waterworks is happy to provide peace of mind to another customer. 

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN was not pleased with how his driveway had been looking. Not only were there large cracks in multiple areas of the concrete, but an unevenness between his garage and driveway. Rather than leave it to sit and continue to worsen, he decided to find a business that could help fix the problem. He noticed that American Waterworks, a name he was familiar with, offered a FREE no obligation estimate service for homeowners wanting to walk through a plan before beginning the repairs. The homeowner scheduled his appointment and was greeted weeks later by one of our expert Design Specialists, Mike Dexter. Mike suggested to him that to achieve the desired results, PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane foam to lift the surface, and NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant to fill in extra spaces and cracks, would be the best course of action. The homeowner also expressed that he wanted to add extra protection to extend the lifespan of the driveway after the repairs were done. Mike explained that SealantPro would help permanently protect it from water, dirt, and other contaminants in a single coat. The homeowner agreed to the plans and our Foreman, Ryan Trogstad, along with his crew, arrived at the home to carry out the installations. Pleased with the result of his now sleek looking driveway, the homeowner was happy he chose American Waterworks to take on this project.
