American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN was beginning to notice that a large crack was forming in his tuck under the garage. He was growing more concerned as the crack grew because he knew that a compromised foundation not only impacted any resale of the home but could impact the structural integrity of the home. Wanting to address the situation quickly, the homeowner did research online about the best company to rectify this issue, and he found us. He called into our office and we set him up with a FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists, Nick. Nick headed out to the property, assessed the situation, and let a bid with his recommendation that same day. Nick wanted to use our GeoLock C-Channel Anchors to fix the situation. He explained that our C-Channel and Geo-Lock anchors are designed to repair bowed, buckled, and tilting foundation walls. This proven repair technique is faster, less disruptive, and much more affordable than foundation wall replacement. The homeowner agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew ended up installing 4 of the anchors along the northern garage wall to address the bowing. Once the job was completed, the homeowner was able to breathe a sigh of relief knowing that he could put his foundation worries in the past! 

A homeowner in Plymouth, MN had been enjoying in his basement space and the fireplace when he noticed a small puddle of water that had formed. He didn't hesitate to make a call to the place he knew would help him out in this situation: American Waterworks. Our website informed him of our FREE no-obligation estimate appointments, which he signed up for. We sent over Design Specialist Michel Ramirez to inspect the home and speak more with the homeowner. Michel discovered the water leaking would only continue and cause more damage unless a waterproofing system was installed. He explained that by installing our WaterGuard system, it would intercept the water at the perimeter of the basement and safely send it away outside of the home. The homeowner wanted the issue to be solved and agreed to the proposal. When the plans were approved, they were given to our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his crew to begin preparations. They arrived at the site and carefully installed the WaterGuard drain system and covered it in concrete to keep out dirt and debris. Now this homeowner has their leak-free fireplace back and can enjoy the comfort of their basement again.

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was dealing with a patch of sinking and cracking concrete right in front of her house. She didn't want anyone to take an unnecessary tumble over the uneven spot, so she began the search for concrete repair MN. When she found our website, she decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates. A few weeks later, Mitch S, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Mitch conducted a thorough interview, and when he concluded, he was ready to make his recommendation to the homeowner. Mitch explained that concrete can sink and crack for a variety of reasons but that we could assist with the restoration with the help of our  PolyLevel solution. He explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sunken concrete. It slowly fills voids left by soil erosion and, in the process, lifts the concrete back to its desired location. Mitch went on to say that once the concrete had been lifted, he was recommending our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied to the cracks and joints in the concrete and works to prevent unwanted water from getting below the slab to the vulnerable soil below. The homeowner agreed to the recommendations and work was scheduled for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, Dylon V, one of our concrete Foremen, and his Co-Foreman, Dalton B, completed the lift with no complications. Now our customer can enjoy her front walkway without worries that someone will take a tumble!

A homeowner from Plymouth, MN, was skimming a local shopper when she came across one of our ads that stated that properly encapsulating your crawl space could save you up to 20% on energy bills. She knew her home had a crawl space that was rarely looked at, so she decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, Michel R, one of our Design Specialists, headed to the home. 

Michel's inspection began down in the crawl space, where he ran several tests to figure out whether or not the space was energy efficient. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Michel took his time to create a plan for the homeowner. His plan began with recommending our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly on the unfinished walls of the crawl space. Of its functions, the most notable is that it effectively seals off your crawl space, making it inhospitable for pests, deterring any excess water that enters the space, and making the living space more comfortable by cutting heating and cooling costs. Michel went on to say that he had found signs of water intrusion, so along with the CleanSpace, he was recommending our drainage matting. This dimpled matting is laid down on the crawl space floor underneath the CleanSpace, to give water entering the space a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Michel noted the crawl space lacked a means of getting rid of water, so his final recommendation was our SmartDrain. The SmartDrain alerts you to a leak with an audible alarm and drains the water away to a drywall under the CleanSpace liner to protect against property damage. Running a condensation line allows for furnace or dehumidifier drainage. The homeowner was thrilled with Michel's recommendations and signed on the spot. 

When the day of the installation rolled around, our Foreman, Jeromy A, and his crew wasted no time getting to work. When they had finished, they had successfully installed 306 sqft of CleanSpace, 240 sqft of Drainage Matting, and 1 SmartDrain. Now, our customer can rest comfortably, knowing that her crawl space is healthy and efficient! 

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN was beginning to notice a large crack forming on the walls of their basement. Not wanting to risk more damage being done, they began to do their research about companies that could help with the issue. Once they came across American Waterworks, they called in and we set them up with our FREE, no-obligation estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, headed out to the home to see what we could do to help. Upon completion of the inspection, Rick was ready to make his recommendations. He wanted to use our C-Channel and Geo-Lock Anchors to correct the problem. Rick explained that channel anchors are a versatile, effective system that can stabilize walls that are bowing, tipping, pushing in at the bottom, tilting in at the top, or showing similar signs of failure. They are installed with minimal disturbance to your lawn and landscaping, often in a day or less. The homeowner agreed with Rick's recommendation and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Victor, and his team installed 12 anchors throughout the basement. When the project was completed, the homeowner was happy to know they no longer had to worry about foundation failure compromising their home!
