American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Eden Prairie, MN, discovered signs of water damage on their basement walls. Concerned, the homeowner sought professional assistance. While at their home, they noticed several American Waterworks signs scattered throughout their neighborhood. After seeing all these signs, the homeowners decided to do research into the company. After reviewing our impressive past case studies, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the details were set, one of our Design Specialists, Eric, traveled to the home to perform the estimate. Following his detailed inspection, Eric determined that the home needed to be properly waterproofed. Eric came up with multiple solutions that would solve the homeowner's issues. After reviewing all their options, the homeowners decided to go with one of Eric's solutions. The plans were sent to the assigned crew and production commenced. Our Foreman, Jeremiah, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, the crew installed the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was in place, the crew could shift their focus to replacing the current sump pump with the SuperSump Plus. To finish off the water system, the crew installed the IceGuard on the outside discharge line. Finally, the crew installed CleanSpace along the entire west wall of the basement. Once the CleanSpace was put into place, the crew cleaned up the site and left the home. The homeowners were grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is glad to provide another customer peace of mind.  

A homeowner in Eden Prairie, MN, got in touch with us when he decided to do something about his uneven walkway leading up to his patio. Not wanting any guests to take unwanted spills, he decided to take advantage of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mitch S, headed out to the home to inspect the concrete. 

Once Mitch completed his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendation. Mitch informed the homeowner that the problem could be fixed by installing our PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath sinking concrete slabs, filling voids left over by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back into place. He went on to say that we finish all of our PolyLevel installation our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to all cracks and joints in the problem slab to prevent any unwanted moisture from getting beneath the slab to the soil below. The homeowner agreed and work was scheduled to begin a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Troy J, was able to complete the lift to the costumer's satisfaction. Now our customers can host friends and family without worries of potential trip hazards!

Jessica W. in Eden Prairie, MN had a sump pump in her basement, yet water was still seeping in. She was frustrated of dealing with a wet basement that was making the space dirty and unlivable. She started looking for a local waterproofing contractor, and she found American Waterworks’ website. She gave us a call to set up a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to her home to inspect her basement and to design a solution. Chad answered her questions and addressed her concerns. She was pleased with the proposal that Chad developed, so she decided to move forward with having our waterproofing system installed.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump system. The WaterGuard properly drains the water that is leaking into the basement to the sump pump. From there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Jessica has peace of mind that her basement will always be protected from water. She is glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her home.

Rebekah M. of Jordan, MN had a basement wall that was bowing and she wanted to get it repaired before it got any worse. She got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE, no-obligation estimate. Our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, went to Rebekah's home, carefully examined her bowing wall, and came up with a solution that would work for her and her home repair needs. After a thorough walkthrough, Rebekah was confident in Shane's proposal of our Wall Anchor System, so she scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Raul Avilez, and his production crew began the installation by digging small holes beyond the foundation. Next, from the interior foundation, our crew inserted long, metal rods through the wall to each hole. In this process, each anchor is connected by the steel rod to a wall plate that provides pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. This process also gives it the potential to straighten back to its original position. To complete the installation, Raul and his team tightened each anchor, backfilled the holes, and ensured the soil was compacted.

Dean D. in Good Thunder, MN contacted us when he noticed that he had two severely bowing walls in his finished basement. We sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his walls, develop the right solution for his situation and provide him with a FREE estimate. We recommended installing wall anchors because they would permanently stabilize and start to straighten his walls and it would be far more cost-effective than replacing the foundation. He liked our solution and enjoyed working with our Specialist, so he scheduled the installation.

In order to get to the block foundation, we had to remove the drywall. We excavated the soil around the sides of the home with the bowing walls. This helps up straighten the walls back to their original position. Then we drilled small holes through the block foundation walls into the soil. We inserted long metal rods, and once the rods were in place, we secured each end with anchor plates. We tightened the anchors as far as they could go, and the wall started to straighten. Dean's basement walls have been permanently stabilized with the installation of the wall anchors. He is glad he chose to protect the foundation of his home.
