Moldy Basement Fixed in Shakopee, MN

A Shakopee, MN, homeowner was down in the storage unit below his stairs when he noticed large spots of mold growth on the wall. Confused as to how it could have gotten there, he decided to find a mold removal specialist. Through his searching, he found American Waterworks. He realized his issue might be due to unwanted water intrusion, so he set up a FREE estimate to see if we could be of any help. 

Several weeks later, Ryan P, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. After conducting his inspection, he met with the homeowner to inform him that his suspicions were correct, the space was taking on water, making it the perfect atmosphere for mold growth. Ryan went on to say that we had several products that could help. First, Ryan recommended our WaterGuard drain, explaining that this unique French drain is installed below the floor but atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it clear of the 'mud zone', where similar drains clog. He elaborated, saying that this drain functions to collect water entering the space through holes and cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site, which in this case, was a pre-placed sump pump. His second recommendation was our Foamax wall panels. Foamax is a polyisocyanurate foam insulated panel with a white foil finish on the front and a foil vapor barrier on the back. This innovative product offers several benefits such as high insulation value, creating a warm basement, brightening your space, being left exposed, and drains wall leaks to the WaterGuard system to keep the space dry and healthy. The homeowner was thrilled with Ryan's recommendations and, after some thought, signed on for the project. 

Our Foreman, Lane S, arrived several weeks later. He and his team successfully installed 22 ft of WaterGuard and Foamax, restoring the customer's peace of mind in his mold-free space!

Cracked Concrete Stoop in Eden Prairie, MN

Jon W. in Eden Prairie, MN had a large crack through the concrete on his steps and his concrete had started sinking, causing a trip hazard. He previously had his stoop mud-jacked, but he was having problems again. He started looking for another concrete repair contractor to see what his options were, and he was directed to American Waterworks. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to his home to assess his concrete situation and develop a solution. Jon was glad to learn that PolyLevel is a durable, faster, and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair, so he scheduled a date for the installation.

Our Foreman, Brandon Wiskow, drilled small holes into the concrete on his stoop where he needed to inject the foam. He injected our PolyLevel into the holes until the concrete slab was level. Then, he sealed the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant, which protects the concrete and gives it a nice, finished look. The process only took about half a day, and now Jon will be able to enjoy level concrete for years to come.

Basement Wall Gets Stabilized with C-channel in Eden Prairie, MN

A customer from Eden Prairie, MN got into contact with them since they have noticed foundation issues that result in horizontal cracks alongside their basement walls. Our customer feared if they left the problem unsolved it would result in it more damage to the basement wall and potentially cause the wall to fail and cave in. When they contacted us we then proceeded to offer them our FREE estimate, entitling them to a thorough inspection by one member of our Design Specialist team. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Ryan, headed out to inspect the issue. After completing a complete walkthrough, Ryan then was able to form a professional opinion on how to correct the issue. He then thoroughly explained to our customer that the best way to solve the issue of the cracks in the basement wall and foundation issue is by installing our GeoLock Channel Anchor System. Ryan explained the GeoLock Anchor System would be the ideal system for this problem and will help prevent any further bowing of the wall. He went on and showed the customer that once the anchors are installed and ready to go they have the option to be tightened to straighten the wall over time. Once our customer gave us the okay to proceed with the installation, our production crew, Led by our Foreman, Tremaine then installed 5 GeoLock Anchors to help support the basement wall. Once complete, the customer was happy and stress-free knowing that their wall will now be supported and the problem is in the past. 

WaterGuard Protects Basement in Eden Prairie, MN

A homeowner in Eden Prairie, MN, noticed a white substance on their walls and was worried about the cause of the issue. Instead of ignoring the issue, the homeowners knew they needed to find a solution to the issue. Having a hunch that a waterproofing company was the best option for them, the homeowner began looking into "waterproofing companies near Eden Prairie, MN". The homeowner saw our company and successful projects and knew we were the best fit for them. After signing up for their FREE estimate, the homeowner waited for the arrival of Kevin, one of our Design Specialists. Kevin arrived at the home, introduced himself to the homeowner, and began his thorough investigation of the basement. Following his in-depth walk-through of the basement, Kevin determined the basement needed to be waterproofed. Kevin recommended installing WaterGuard and CleanSpace in the basement and the homeowner agreed. After the office approved the plans, they were directed to our Foreman, Chris, and his crew. The crew traveled to the home and started the waterproofing project. First, the crew installed WaterGuard, a below-floor water drain, along the walls. Next, the crew took out the old sump pump and installed the SuperSump+. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Once all the products were installed in the home, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was beyond grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind in their homes. 

Uneven Walkway Gets a Lift in Eden Prairie, MN

An Eden Prairie, MN, homeowner was walking out her front door one day to get the paper, when she took a tumble over an uneven spot of concrete. Not wanting anyone else to take a tumble, she decided to look for a contractor that repairs concrete in MN. When she found our website, she decided to sign up for a FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to the home. 

Romeo V, a concrete Design Specialist, arrived at the property and got right to work inspecting the sunken concrete. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that her issue could be remedied with our PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it is injected beneath sunken concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, slowly lifting the concrete back into place in the process. The homeowner liked the sound of Romeo's plan, and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, one of our Concrete Foreman, Dylan, and his team were able to complete the lift with no issues. Now our customer can confidently walk out her front door knowing her sunken concrete issue has been solved!
