American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A Sleepy Eye, MN, homeowner was struggling with a damp basement after heavy rainfall. Not wanting the issue to worsen, he decided to begin the search for a basement waterproofing company in Minnesota. Once he found our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan W, headed out to the home. 

After Dylan arrived, he got right to work assessing the basement and trying to find the source of the leaking. Once Dylan completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Dylan explained that the water was entering the home through cracks in the floor, and therefore, he wanted to address the situation with several of our products: WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and our AprilAire dehumidifier. Dylan elaborated, explaining that these products would work closely together to keep the basement dry. Any water entering the basement through the floor would immediately be caught by the WaterGuard, an award-winning below-floor drain that lays on top of the footing of the foundation to catch unwanted water, directing it to the appropriate disposal site, which would be the TripleSafe. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump, boasting three levels of protection for your basement. The TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. Finally, Dylan said that even basements with effective waterproofing solutions can develop moisture problems. For this reason, he recommended the use of our AprilAire E100 dehumidifier. This powerful machine creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% relative humidity. The homeowner liked the sound of the approach and scheduled the job to be completed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Lane, and his team ended up installing 136 ft of our WaterGuard around the perimeter of the space, along with 1 TripleSafe sump pump, and 1 AprilAire E100. Now our customer can enjoy his basement without worrying about water intrusion! 

Jamie S. in Mountain Lake, MN had water leaking into her basement and her old sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water coming in. While looking for a local waterproofing company, she came across American Waterworks’ website and decided to contact us for a FREE estimate.

We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to her home to inspect her basement and to develop a solution for her. Shane recommended that we install our drainage system under the concrete floor and a new sump pump to transform her basement into a permanently dry space. She agreed, and she liked Shane’s proposal, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed our WaterGuard drainage system along the two walls that had water seeping in. Then, they installed the SuperSump sump pump in the corner of the basement. The drainage system properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pumped through the discharge line to the outside of the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Jamie feels confident that she chose the right waterproofing solution to protect her home for the long-term.

Lori N. of Stewart, MN had bowing walls on the side of her garage, causing her landscaping to be uneven. She called American Waterworks to schedule a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, to her home to inspect the issue and come up with a solution. After a detailed inspection, Lori was comfortable with Shane’s proposal so she set up an installation date.

Our foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew began the installation by digging six holes around the back and side of the garage and six holes in the garage concrete floor, parallel to the holes outside. They installed a long, metal rod in each hole and tightened our GeoLock Wall Anchors on each end. In this situation, our GeoLock Wall Anchor System permanently stabilized the foundation wall by anchoring them to the soil beneath the garage concrete. After installation and over time, homeowners can tighten them to continue keeping their wall at normal position. Next, our guys capped the anchors in the garage with a concrete coating and replaced the soil outside. Lori was happy with the outcome and was glad she went with American Waterworks to solve her home needs!

Paul and Lisa S. of Annandale, MN had dirty, musty and moldy crawl space that needed to be inspected. They called American Waterworks to schedule a FREE Estimate, so we sent out our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. After an in-depth inspection, Paul and Lisa were confident with the proposal, so they got an installation date scheduled. 

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and his production team began the crawl space waterproofing project by removing anything that was in the way. They installed 775 feet of our TerraBlock, which serves as a puncture-resistant insulation and provides the ultimate moisture protection. Next, Cory and his team applied 425 feet of our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier on top of the TerraBlock, which prevents mold and humidity, and it gives the space a clean and bright appearance. Paul and Lisa were both glad we were able to restore their peace of mind! 

A customer in Annandale, MN, was enjoying the summer on the lake but noticed their boat house walls were cracking. Wanting to save the structure, the customer searched for a solution. After seeing the excellent work we have done in their area, the customer decided to work with us. After signing up for their FREE estimate on our website, the customer prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Shane. Once Shane arrived, he began the inspection of the boat house. After his in-depth inspection, Shane determined that the walls required permanent stabilization. The customer agreed to Shane's suggestions and the job preparation began. Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew were assigned to the job. After they arrived, the crew began by installing eight PowerBraces on the west and east boat house walls. After the PowerBraces were installed, the crew provided the customer with a tightening kit. This kit allows the walls to straighten over time. The homeowners were pleased with the crew's swift and excellent installation. American Waterworks is happy to assist another customer.
