American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Tim, from Glencoe, MN enlisted our help when he began to notice that one of his basement walls was severely bowing inward, perhaps being close to failing. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, the wall could potentially completely fail and seriously compromise the structural integrity of the home. When he called in, he cashed in on his FREE estimate, entitling him to a 3-hour thorough investigation into the issue. Once he had set up his appointment, our Design Specialist, Shane, went out to the property to do a walkthrough. Once he completed his inspection, he was able to make several recommendations as to how we could help Tim. First, he wanted to address the failing wall with our PowerBrace wall repair system. He explained to Tim that this system is made up of steel I-beams that will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustments. He went on to say that this particular system can be tightened over time to make bowing or tilting walls straighter or more vertical. He also recommended using our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier to address any potential water leakage into the basement because of the cracks in the foundation wall. This tarp-like barrier works to trap moisture behind the material and direct it down to the appropriate place. Tim agreed with Shane's recommendations and gave the green light to start renovations. 

Our team, led by our Foreman, Lane, ended up installing 4 of our PowerBrace systems, along with 96ft of our CleanSpace in the basement. When the work had been completed, Tim was happy with the work we had done and was relieved to know that his foundation worries were in the past. 

A homeowner in Gelcole, MN, was doing laundry in their basement when they noticed a stairstep crack growing on their back foundation wall. Concerned that this issue would worsen, the homeowner decided to reach out to a professional to have the wall inspected. Not sure who they should work with, the homeowner tried to narrow down their choices using HomeAdvisor. After putting in their requirements, the first company on the list was American Waterworks. Once they saw that we listed the services they were looking for, the homeowner decided to call our Appointment Center and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Dylan, one of our Design Specialists. After Dylan arrived, he began inspecting the back foundation wall and discovered it was showing early signs of wall failure. Since Dylan discovered the source of the issue, he could come up with a suggested solution. To stop the wall failure from progressing, Dylan suggested ten Geolock anchors be installed on the north and east walls. Knowing this would stop the wall from further failing, the homeowner agreed with Dylan's suggestions. Once they received the okay, the plans were directed to Arturo and his crew. Arturo and his crew arrived to begin the GeoLock installation. The crew installed four GeoLocks on the north wall and six on the east wall. Once all the GeoLocks were installed, the crew cleaned up their site and left the home. The homeowners were relieved to know their wall was no longer at risk of failure. American Waterworks is happy to give homeowners peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Glencoe, MN, noticed their east foundation wall was beginning to shear at the bottom of the wall. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner decided to do further research into companies that do foundation repair. While on social media, the homeowner saw one of our digital advertisements. Interested in our companies, the homeowner clicked on the advertisement and read further into our foundation repair options. After reading more in-depth, the homeowner knew we were the best fit, so signed up for their FREE estimate. After the details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Gary, one of our Design Specialists. Gary arrived at the home and began by investigating the status of the foundation on the interior and exterior. Following his in-depth evaluation, Gary recommended that the east foundation wall be permanently stabilized with PowerBraces. The homeowner decided to go along with Gary's plan, so they were directed to the production crew. Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. First, the crew marked out where the PowerBraces will be placed. Then, the crew installed seven PowerBraces along the east foundation wall. Once the PowerBraces were secured into place, the crew put the basement back in order. The homeowner was impressed with the wonderful work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to ensure another homeowner's foundation is secured. 

A homeowner from Glencoe, MN, had been suffering from a damp basement for some time. She no longer wanted to deal with the problem and decided to find a basement waterproofing company near Glencoe, MN. Through extensive internet searches, the homeowner quickly found our website and signed up for her FREE estimate. 

A few weeks later, Eric H, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. When Eric finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Eric recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the walls of the basement, functioning to direct water entering through the wall, downward, and into a perimeter drain, our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, giving the water entering down from the CleanSpace, and coming up from the floor, a channel to flow freely to a pre-installed sump system. The homeowner was thrilled with Eric's explanation and solution and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Jesus C, and his crew were out at the home. At the end of the project, our team effortlessly installed 136 sqft of CleanSpace, and 136 sqft of WaterGuard. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her basement is properly defended against unwanted water! 

Cody O. of Waverly, MN had sagging floors falling into her crawl space. She needed them to be lifted, so she got in contact with American Waterworks and got a FREE estimate scheduled. Our Design Specialist went to Cody's house, inspected her crawl space, and proposed our Crawl Space Support Posts. Cody was confident in the proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed our Crawl Space Support Posts to lift and stabilize the sagging floors. Because of its design, they can be adjusted over time by the homeowner or by our service technician on the system's yearly check-up. Cody was happy with the repairs and noticed the difference right away!
