American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Nick and Carissa S. of Kandiyohi, MN had water leaking into their basement, causing them to worry about damage to property. They got in contact with American Waterworks and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to Nick and Carissa's house, carefully inspected their basement, and determined a solution that would work for them, their needs, and their budget. Nick and Carissa were confident in Chad's plan, so they signed his contract and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls, prevent water and mud clogs, and serves as an underground drain. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which prevents mold and humidity, gives the basement a neat, clean appearance, and it covers any big holes or divots in the walls. To complete the installation, our crew filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement was neater and cleaner than when they found it. Nick and Carissa could not believe the beautiful transformation!

A homeowner in Kandiyohi, MN, did not like the appearance of the uneven concrete in front of their home. Not wanting to replace the entire slab, the homeowner looked for alternative methods. After hearing positive reviews about our company through social media, the homeowner decided to check out our website. The homeowner saw that we offer the services that they are looking for, so they called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the details were finalized, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Lance, one of our Design Specialists. When Lance arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowner and began evaluating the status of the concrete. Lance determined the cause of the unevenness was soil settlement. To stop the settlement, Lance recommended that the concrete be lifted and leveled. The homeowner knew this would be their best option, so they went along with Lance's recommendation. The plans were then sent to our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew. When they arrived at the property, the crew began by making sure the concrete was ready for the PolyLevel. The crew then inserted the PolyLevel underneath the sidewalk and front slabs of the garage. Once the PolyLevel was installed, the crew was able to clean up their materials and leave the home. The homeowner was impressed with the wonderful work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist customers with their concrete concerns. 

A homeowner in Saint Martin, MN, saw cracks in their wall grow over time. Uncertain about what is causing the cracks, the homeowner called American Waterworks and signed up for a FREE estimate. Once all the appointment details were set in stone, we sent out our Design Specialist, Daniel, to provide the homeowners with answers. Following his detailed inspection, Daniel discovered that the crack wall was beginning to fail. Daniel suggested that the foundation be stabilized to save the wall and basement. Wanting to save their basement, the homeowners agreed and preparations began. Our Foreman, Rual, and his crew made it to the property and began installation. First, the crew started by installing four GeoLock Anchors on the south basement wall. After the GeoLock Anchors were installed, CarbonArmor was applied on the east and west basement walls. After the CarbonArmor was installed, the crew cleaned up and headed on their way. The homeowners were relieved that their walls were stabilized and the home was no longer at risk. 

Karen from Blomkest, MN, was having moisture issues in her basement. She was afraid that if the problem was left unresolved, she would run the risk of doing severe damage to her basement.

Our design specialist, Skylar, visited the property and recommended that the customer invest in our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier for basement waterproofing. It is installed below the floor but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone" and making it harder to clog. 

Foreman, Arturo, and his crew headed out and got started on making Karen's home a drier, safer place to live. First, our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

The drainage system now properly guides water to the Super Sump Plus pump, which pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Karen was pleased with the results and is glad her basement is now a dry, healthy space.

Karen's driveway was uneven and had significant cracks, and she wanted to fix the problem before it worsened. She called American Waterworks and claimed her FREE estimate for a thorough inspection. Our Design Specialist, Skylar, headed to the property to inspect the driveway and recommend solutions to prevent the concrete slab from worsening. Once completed, Skylar recommended Karen invest in our PolyLevel solution and finish with our NexusPro solution. She got all her questions answered and agreed with the solution, and the team came out to her home shortly after.

Led by Foreman Patrick, our poly crew then strategically drilled holes into the concrete slabs that had sinkage to inject the PolyLevel Solution. The PolyLevel solution is an expanding polyurethane foam injected underneath the concrete slabs to fill the voids underneath the slab caused by soil erosion. Once the polyurethane was injected, the crew finished the project by sealing the cracks and joints with our NexusPro solution. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant formulated for flexibility and longevity to survive harsh weather conditions, helping ensure that the concrete will stay raised. 

Karen was happy with the results of her driveway and glad her peace of mind was restored.
