American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Terry H. of Merrifield, MN was having sagging floors problems that were sloping into their crawl space. They wanted someone to come out and give them an estimate on the repairs. Our Design Specialist, Richie, went to Terry's home and proposed our Crawl Space Support Posts, which are designed to restore the stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. Terry was confident in the product, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his production team installed nine of our support posts throughout their crawl space, correcting the sloping and overly springy floors. The project took two days and Terry was happy with the experience that they had!

A farmer in Hadley, MN was experiencing sinking concrete in his hog barn. The farmer was worried about the gap growing but didn't want to pay to replace the concrete completely. He contacted the experts at American Waterworks to fix the problem. We came in and installed our PolyLEVEL® solution which is an effective way to raise concrete. PolyLEVEL is a less expensive solution to level concrete permanently and fix your uneven slabs.

Jim, a Grey Eagle, MN homeowner, had bowing walls in his garage that needed stabilizing. After looking at what American Waterworks does, he scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to the home to inspect the problem and devise a solution. After thoroughly examining, Shane explained that water-saturated soil can sometimes exert enough pressure to cause foundation walls to bow, bulge, or tilt. Shane suggested that Jim invest in Power Braces to permanently stabilize the wall and SmartJacks to restore and straighten sagging floor joists to combat this. Jim was confident in Shane's proposal and went ahead with the project. 

Our crew, led by Foreman Matthew, headed to the property shortly after and got to work. First, they installed 1 7'10' SmartJacks. The SmartJack system restores stability and straightens sagging floor joists, which can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling if necessary. Next, the team installed 11 of our PowerBraces to repair the failing wall. Our PowerBraces are designed to straighten walls and can be tightened by the homeowner over time to ensure the walls stay straight. Since this system has a special zinc coating, corrosion is not an issue. Our PowerBraces can be installed with no disruption to outside soils or landscaping. It installs quickly in the home, immediately halting the inward movement of foundation walls. Jim was impressed with the project's efficiency and quality of work, and he was glad to know that his bowing wall was no longer an issue.

Homeowners in Marshall, MN noticed the concrete in the corner near their front door was getting lower and lower over time. The concrete was sinking! Concrete is extremely heavy and if the soil beneath it is not strong enough to bare the weight, the floor will begin to sink. Luckily this customer called American Waterworks. We have a simple solution to sinking sidewalks, driveways and patios!

Our specialist visited the home to assess the situation. He suggest PolyLevel to be installed under the concrete. PolyLevel foam injection is much like mud jacking, but it is made up of expanding polymers and leaves only a dime size hole - which can be hidden. 

Now the concrete has risen in this area back to its original position and the homeowners are happy with their even walkway. 

Karen M. in Marshall, MN was tired of dealing with her basement flooding after heavy rains and snow melt. She contacted American Waterworks after doing some online research and spending some time on our website. She met with one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, who inspected the situation and developed a thorough plan to keep Karen’s basement dry. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production crew got to work and removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laid 121 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump, providing three levels of protection for Karen’s basement and her peace of mind.
