A homeowner from Prior Lake, MN, was dealing with water intrusion in her basement. Not wanting the issue to get out of hand, she decided to begin the search for a company that could help fix the issue. On the recommendation from a friend, she decided to call American Waterworks and set up her FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nick S, headed out to the home to assess the basement.
Upon the completion of the assessment, Nick met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Nick explained to the homeowner that he wanted to combat the water in the basement with our WaterGuard. He elaborated, saying that our WaterGuard is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. Nick went on to say by installing the drain at this point, it's kept out of the "mud zone","the point where clogged drains are common. The unique shape and large drain openings of WaterGuard® also aid in preventing clogs in the system.The homeowner agreed with Nick's proposal and a the job was scheduled for a month later.
On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Raul B, ended up installing 156 ft of our WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Now our customer can enjoy their basement without worries of water intrusion!

Matt H. in Delavan, MN had multiple cracked walls in his basement. One of the walls was severely bowing inward and the other had a large stair step-like crack in the wall that had gotten worse over time. A friend recommended that he contact American Waterworks to help solve his foundation problems, so he gave us a call for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, went to his home to inspect his foundation and design a solution. Jeremy assured Matt that we could permanently repair his foundation by installing 8 wall anchors. Matt was pleased to hear this, so he scheduled the installation.
Our production team drilled small holes through the brick walls and into the soil surrounding the home. Then, they inserted long metal rods into the holes and they secured each end of the rods with anchor plates. Once they tightened the anchors, Matt was able to see a dramatic improvement in the stability of his walls. The wall anchors can continue to be tightened over time to gradually straighten the wall back to its original position. Since our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, Matt is confident that he chose the best long-term solution to protect his home.

A homeowner in Delavan, MN was tired of looking at the large cracks that had formed in his driveway. He went online to see what services were available in the Minnesota area and found the American Waterworks website. After some thorough research, he was pleased to learn that our concrete repair services were more affordable and timely solutions than other methods, so he signed up for a FREE estimate with us. We received his request and sent over one of our Design Specialists, Brad Williams. Brad inspected the concrete driveway and knew just the thing to eliminate the cracks and prevent future problems from happening. He explained that the empty space below the concrete had caused the cracks in the first place and by filling it with PolyLevel it would be stronger and prevent the driveway from sinking more. Brad also informed him that our NexusPro sealant would work to eliminate the cracks for good. The homeowner agreed and on the installations day Foreman Sam Klennert and his crew went to the site and installed the two products. A smooth driveway and happy homeowner were the results of this concrete repair project.

Nicholas H. in Savage, MN had water leaking into his basement during heavy rains and when snow melts. The water was starting to pool in the laundry room and their old sump pump had failed. He saw an advertisement for American Waterworks in one of the local newspapers and he was glad to see that we are experts in waterproofing. He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to give him a FREE estimate. Chad established that the best solution was to install a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump.
Nicholas was eager to get his basement waterproofed, so he set an appointment to have the system installed as soon as possible. Our production crew installed the WaterGuard drainage system around the entire perimeter of the basement, which guides any water seeping in directly to the newly installed sump pump. The sump pump then discharges the water outside of the home. Our waterproofing system is backed with a lifetime warranty, so it is guaranteed to keep his basement dry. Nicholas is glad he invested in a long-term solution to protect his home.
