American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Shoreview, MN, noticed multiple issues with his basement, such as weeping walls, standing water and efflorescence, a white residue caused by salt deposits left behind from evaporated water leaks. Worried those issues would lead to permanent damage to his home, he decided to search for "basement waterproofing near me" and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home to assess the basement. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of a damp basement is a failed footing drain. When this becomes clogged and fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then enters through cracks in the wall, between the footing and the wall, or under the footing. During Daniel's inspection, he noticed that the current sump pump was out of date and kept it in mind when he designed a proposal for the homeowner. Daniel recommended our WaterGuard, a below-the-floor perimeter drain system that effectively collects water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away, CleanSpace, a vapor wall barrier that stops water vapor from permeating the walls, IceGuard, our discharge line system that will not freeze unlike traditional discharge lines, and Zoeller M53 pump that is capable of removing 2,220 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing Daniel's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Field Supervisor, Cole B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by attaching 74ft of the CleanSpace vapor wall barrier to the basement walls using drilled-in fasteners. Then, the crew installed 74ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and ensured it was connected to the sump pump system. They also installed 1 IceGuard before replacing the pump with our Zoeller M53. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in New Brighton, MN was looking at finding a nearby service that could help get his front sidewalk leveled. He realized just how sunken the sidewalk had gotten as the summer months were approaching and he started paying more attention to the landscape in front of his home. During his research on concrete lifting companies, he came across the American Waterworks page. After learning about our FREE estimate offers, the homeowner scheduled one and awaited our professional expertise on solutions. We sent over Design Specialist Canon Tweed to the home where he carried out a thorough inspection of the concrete and discussed things over with the homeowner. Canon informed him that by using our PolyLevel product, the sidewalk could be restored to its original height and provide long lasting stabilization. The homeowner was happy to hear of this recommendation and agreed to the detailed plans. The plans were given to our Foreman, Ryan Trogstad, and his crew to carry out the installations. Ryan and the crew carefully installed the product and left the front sidewalk smooth and level once again.

A homeowner from Arden Hills, MN, contacted us when they noticed their front stoop and connecting walkway were beginning to separate. Not wanting the issue to worsen, he decided to call American Waterworks and set up his FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Aidan, headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once he completed his walkthrough, he let our customer know that while the issue might seem daunting, the fix was rather simple. He explained that we would use our PolyLevel to restore the concrete slabs. Our PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when injected under slabs. He said this method is cheaper, less invasive, and has quicker curing time than other remedies such as mudjacking or full replacement. The homeowner agreed and work was scheduled to begin a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Patrick, and his team arrived on the day of the installation and completed the project in no time. Once the project was complete, our homeowner was thrilled to know they no longer needed to worry about tripping hazards! 

A New Brighton, MN, homeowner was facing an issue with his basement. Whenever his area got rain, it always seemed to wind up in his basement, leaving small puddles. The homeowner knew that if he continued to let the problem go unchecked, he could run the risk of doing permanent damage to his space.  He began to look for interior waterproofing companies in MN and quickly found us. He scheduled his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, was headed out to the home. 

Once Brad completed his inspection of the basement, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Brad explained that he wanted to use three of our products to address the intrusion. First, Brad wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets adhered directly to the basement walls. It works to catch water entering through holes or cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into a perimeter system. Because the basement lacked a means of drainage, Brad recommended our WaterGuard system. This unique below-floor drain gets installed beneath the cement floor but atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain works to collect water entering from the CleanSpace, as well as any water coming up through holes in the foundation, giving the excess water a channel to flow freely to a disposal site such as a sump pump or discharge line. Brad noted that the basement was unequipped with a sump pump, so he recommended our SuperSump plus sump pump, an effective and economical solution for ridding your basement of water. The homeowner loved the sound of complimenting products and signed on the spot. 

The day of the installation eventually rolled around. Our Foreman, Kiko P, and his team were able to flawlessly install 60ft of both WaterGuard and CleanSpace and 1 SuperSump plus sump pump. Now our customer can rest easy knowing that his water intrusion issues were a thing of the past! 

A homeowner in New Brighton, MN, noticed their foundation was struggling with serious cracks. Concerned this could cause a serious issue, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert solution. The homeowner looked into "foundation repair near me" and 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 the project. Next, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Jesse. Following his prompt arrival, Jesse began his thorough investigation of the interior and exterior foundation. During his inspection, Jesse discovered the foundation was suffering settlement and needed to be permanently stabilized. Jesse recommended installing GeoLock Wall Anchors along the struggling wall. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommended plan of action. Next, the proposal was sent to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Once Logsitics finalized the plans, it was sent to our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew. Next, Jesus and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, they ensured the home was ready for the GeoLock installation. Next, the crew went ahead and installed seven GeoLock Wall Anchors along the wall. Once all the GeoLock Wall Anchors were secure, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners' peace of mind.
