American Waterworks Before & After Photos

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.

Water was coming into Gary's basement from the bottom of his steps. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to Gary's home, carefully inspected his basement, and proposed a solution that would work for him and his budget. Gary was confident in Shane's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. Inside the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and prevent mud clogs. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire basement wall perimeter, which is a vapor retarder designed to prevent mold and mildew, keep water out of the basement, and save money on energy costs. Gary was confident in the installation and was happy with the work that was done, so he went ahead with the project.

Tyson C. in Walnut Grove, MN had three cracked walls in his basement. They had just started bowing and he knew it was only going to get worse. He heard an advertisement for American Waterworks on the radio and was happy to learn that we have successfully been repairing foundations for many years. He decided to give us a call for a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his foundation problem and design a solution. Tyson was pleased with the proposal we developed, so he decided to move forward with having us repair his foundation. 

Our production team installed 26 wall anchors along the three walls. Rods are drilled through the brick walls and into the soil. Then, the anchors are secured with plates on each end of the rod. Once we tightened the anchors, Tyson was able to see a dramatic change in the stability of his walls. Our foundation repair systems are backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Tyson can rest easy knowing this foundation will always be secure.
