Anthony W. in Le Center, MN had multiple cracked walls in his basement. He was worried that these cracks would cause the walls to bow, which would put pressure on his foundation. He wanted to repair his walls before his problem got worse, so he contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our foundation repair solutions. We sent a Design Specialist to his home to provide him with a solution and a FREE estimate. Anthony was impressed with our products and our team, so he scheduled the installation.
Our Design Specialist recommended having wall anchors installed along the cracked walls to permanently stabilize the foundation. Our production crew started the installation by drilling 13 long, metal rods through the brick wall into the soil surrounding the home. They secured both ends of the rod with anchor plates and tightened them. These anchors can continue to be tightened over time to gradually straighten the wall. Anthony's walls became permanently secured with the installation of these wall anchors. He is glad he made the investment to protect his foundation for the long-term.

Brain B. of Le Center, MN had water seeping into his basement and his foundation wall was cracking. Both problems were causing him to worry about the safety and value of his home. While searching for local contractors on Google, he came across American Waterworks. He called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared. Jared went to Brain's home, took a look at the water leaks and his foundation, and wrote out a plan of our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, and our Wall Anchor System. Brian was confident in our products and their features, so he set up a date for the installation.
Our Foreman, Raul, and his team started the installation by installing our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is made to prevent mud clogs and catch water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter, which is designed to prevent mold and humidity, save money on energy bills, and it gives the basement a clean appearance. Lastly, our team installed our Wall Anchors over the CleanSpace to straighten the walls and pull them back to their natural position. To complete the installation, our team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete over them, ensuring the space was neat and clean. Brian was happy with the work and had a remarkable experience!

Pell J. in Madison Lake, MN had water leaking into his basement. He was concerned about the air quality in their home and the damage that the water was causing. He saw an advertisement in his local newspaper for American Waterworks, so he decided to call us for a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists went to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. We recommended that he have our full waterproofing system installed in his basement to ensure that his basement would be permanently waterproofed. Pell liked the proposal that we presented to him, so he scheduled the installation.
Our production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they laid the WaterGuard drainage system and installed the sump pump. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. The installation took our crew one full day, and Pell will now be able to enjoy a dry basement for many years to come. He is glad he chose to invest in the protection of his home.

A homeowner in Madison Lake, MN noticed that his driveway and walkway were facing multiple concrete issues so he decided to look into concrete lifting in the area. He saw one of our yard signs around the neighborhood and decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate.
In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Ryan P., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of both the driveway and walkway. During his inspection, he noticed that there were multiple cracks along the walkway as well as the garage apron, where the garage and driveway meet. Ryan then created a solution for the homeowner and recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete slabs along the walkway and top of the driveway, and NexusPro to seal the joints and repair the cracks. After reviewing Ryan's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to his recommendations and decided to move forward with the project. Ryan's design was then sent to our Foreman, Patrick B.
In about a month, Patrick and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began lifting the concrete slabs along the walkway and top driveway by first drilling small holes in the slabs. The injection ports are then installed, and PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab, filling in empty spaces in the soil. Once the slabs have been lifted, the crew ensures it is level before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro to repair the cracks along the walkway and the garage apron as well as sealing the joint. Once they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
Now, our customer can have peace of mind with his walkway and driveway smooth and crack-free! Have you noticed concrete damage on your property? Click HERE and schedule your FREE estimate today!
