American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Sauk Centre, MN, was growing more worried about his basement as the days passed. He had noticed that the floor above his basement was beginning to sag. He assumed this was a structural concern with the basement, and decided to find a foundation repair company in the area to consult with. When he found our website, he was impressed with other foundation repair jobs we had completed and decided to claim his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, Darin S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

When Darin arrived, he was directed to the basement to begin his inspection. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. Darin explained that the sagging floor could be due to inadequate or shifting supports beneath the floor joists or lumber deterioration due to mold and rot, but that he had a solution. Darin recommended our SmartJack support system, a system that provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists. Once installed, SmartJack support posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. The system can also be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. The homeowner liked Darin's approach to the problem and signed up for the project on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Matt Z, and his team effortlessly installed 6 SmartJacks in the basement of the home. Now, our customer can put his foundation worries in the past!

Marvin and Carroll B. of Steen, MN had water leaking into their unfinished basement. They heard about American Waterworks through word of mouth, so they contacted our company. Our team came to the conclusion that Marvin and Carroll needed a reliable interior drainage system, so our crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which serves as an underground drain that collects water seepage and prevents mud clogs. This system guides water to the sump pump, which then gets discharged out of the basement. Marvin and Carroll were happy with the work that was done and could not believe the dramatic change!

Steve and Jane R. of Hanley Falls, MN had several cracked foundation walls in their basement, causing them to worry about the stability of their home. They found us in the phone book and called to schedule a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to their house to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. Steve and Jane were confident in Jeremy's proposal, so they scheduled an isntallation date. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew dug seven holes in the backyard and installed a long rod in each hole from the outside soil to the inside foundation wall. Our team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors on each rod, made to stabilize and straighten the walls into their natural position. Juan and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Steve and Jane were thrilled with the outcome and their peace of mind was restored! 

Joy J. of Russell, MN had cracked foundation walls in her basement and one of her friends referred American Waterworks so she got on our list for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to her home to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. Jeremy answered all of her questions so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production team started the installation by digging five holes outside of the home and inserting a medal rod in each hole from the exterior soil to the interior foundation. Next, they screwed on and tightened one of our GeoLock Wall Anchors on the ends of each rod to stabilize and straighten the wall back into it's normal position. To complete the installation, Jose and his crew backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Joy couldn't believe how quickly our crew completed the project!

In Fifty Lakes, MN, a homeowner came upon an article that discusses the dangers radon poses in homes. Through the article, he learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As uranium decays, it produces radium, which eventually turns into radon gas. Since uranium is in soil, it makes radon unavoidable. Worried that his family was breathing in the toxic fumes, he decided to look into services in the area. He came upon our website and was pleased to see our Before and After photos of our radon mitigation system. He quickly contacted us to claim his FREE estimate and scheduled an appointment with our Design Specialist.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, James N., arrived at the home to start the radon monitoring test. He set this test up in the lowest level of the home and explained to the homeowner that the test would need to run for at least 48 hours. James reassured the homeowner that his decision to have the home tested was good as we cannot see, touch, smell, taste, or hear radon. He further explained that we offer a radon mitigation system that uses a large-diameter plastic pipe that suctions out the air beneath your foundation and vents it outdoors. The homeowner was thankful for James's permanent solution to prevent dangerous radon levels in the future. 

In about a week, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is the Environmental Protection Agency's required action level for radon. The homeowner contacted us to schedule the installment of our radon mitigation system. 

In a couple of weeks, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson P., arrived at the home for the installation. When he finished installing the system, the homeowner was relieved he no longer had to worry about breathing in the toxic fumes.
