American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A male homeowner of Minneapolis, MN had water seeping into his basement and he wanted to get it repaired before it got any worse. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house, inspected their water problem, and proposed a solution. The homeowner got all of his questions answered so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew started the project by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the entire wall perimeter, which is a protective, foam blanket that prevents water from leaking through the wall and it saves lots of money on energy costs. Next, our team broke out the corner of the concrete floor and installed our SuperSump Plus M53, which discharges the water out of the basement by staying away from the foundation. To complete the project, our crew filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete over it, ensuring the space was much cleaner and tidy than they found it.

A homeowner was enjoying his basement space when he noticed a small puddle forming in one of the corners. Worrying about further damage that could be done to the space, he contacted American Waterworks because of hearing positive reviews from his neighbors. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate to see what the problem was. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Jesse Williams, headed out to the property. After completing the inspection, Jesse agreed with the homeowner that it was better to take action now than wait for the problem to worsen. Jesse recommended using our WaterGuard system to address the water entering his basement. Jesse informed the homeowner that the system is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. He went on to say WaterGuard® is what we usually recommend and is our most widely used drain system. It's popular because of its resistance to clogs, its easy-to-access service ports, and its ability to also collect leaking water from the basement walls. The homeowner agreed on the product and a few days later our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew came in with 24 ft. of the WaterGuard to fix the problem. Now our customer can enjoy his basement without worrying about water intrusion.

A couple from Minneapolis, MN, had been watching TV one evening when they saw one of our TV ads about radon mitigation. They had previously had their crawl space sealed by our company and figured having their home tested for radon gas wouldn't hurt. They called our office and set up their FREE estimate and several weeks later, Nate B, one of our Design Specialists, was out at the home. 

When Nate arrived, the first portion of his inspection required him to leave a charcoal radon test in the home's lowest level. The purpose of this test is to record the radon levels in the house, delivering the average results at the end of the test. He then proceeded with his inspection. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner. He began by commending her for having her home tested for radon. Nate then went on to say that radon is a radioactive gas emitted from the breakdown of soil surrounding your home. It finds its way into your home through small holes and cracks in the foundation of your home, silently wreaking havoc on your lungs. Nate explained that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking, claiming 21,000 lives annually. For this reason, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends taking action on any level over 4 pCi/L. Nate finished by saying that if the levels returned higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider a radon mitigation system. 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. The homeowner liked the sound of Nate's plan but decided to hold off on choosing until the results returned. About a week or so later the results returned much higher than 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner called Nate, and the two found the best day to have the system installed. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team effortlessly placed the system within the home, successfully restoring our customer's faith in her space!

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, discovered damp walls and wet floors throughout their basement. Worried about the long-term effects it could have on their home, the homeowner began searching for a solution. During their hunt, the homeowner looked into "waterproofing Minneapolis MN" and came across our website. Impressed by our award-winning solutions and services, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate on our website. Soon after, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Daniel, to the home to perform the estimate. Once Daniel arrived at the home, he investigated the basement and found several signs of water intrusion. Daniel alerted the homeowner to these findings. To stop the water intrusion from continuing, Daniel recommended installing the WaterGuard in the problem corner of the home. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed and the plans were sent to the office. After the office approved and built the job, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Lane, and his crew. The crew traveled to the home to start the project. Once they arrived, Lane and his crew started by laying WaterGuard in the north corner of the basement. The crew successfully installed the WaterGuard and tied it to the home's current sump pump system. Once the WaterGuard was properly installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was glad to know their basement was safe from any water issues. American Waterworks is happy to provide homeowners with peace of mind.
