Upgraded Sump Pump Saves Basement in Luverne, MN

A Luverne, MN, homeowner was facing an issue. A year ago, she had purchased a home that was now taking on significant water. The homeowner was stumped, as the home came with not 1, but 2 sum pumps already placed. Disgruntled, she decided to search for a company to service her sump pump system. After finding our website, she decided to sign up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Dylan W, headed out to the home. 

When Dylan arrived, he got right to work conducting his estimate inspection. When he completed it, he met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. First, Dylan wanted to rip out the two old sump pumps and install 2 of our SuperSump sump pumps. For an effective and more economical solution, consider our SuperSump sump pump. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The SuperSump® can be installed with an optional UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump, which can pump out 11,500 gallons or more on a single charge! The homeowner liked the sound of upgraded systems, so she scheduled her job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, Francisco E, our Foreman, led his team through the installation. When they had finished, our customer had two properly functioning systems that were up to the challenge of keeping her basement dry! 

Sump Pump Saves Basement in Luverne, MN

A homeowner from Luverne, MN, was down in her basement one day when she noticed water pooling in the far corner of the space. She was worried about what this could mean for her home, so she decided to search the internet for wet basement repairs near Luverne, MN. When our website popped up, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Eric H, headed out to the home. 

Eric got right to work inspecting the basement. When he concluded, he informed the homeowner that her solution could be fixed with the appropriate sump pump. He recommended the installation of our TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is the most reliable pump in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for your basement and peace of mind. For normal functioning, 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. The homeowner liked the sound of Eric's plan and decided to schedule the work for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Gabriel R, led his team through the installation and successfully placed 1 TripleSafe in the basement of our customer's basement. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her water intrusion issue has been solved!

Basement in Hills, MN Gets Waterproofed

Dallas K. in Hills, MN was suffering from a wet basement. Water was seeping through his block foundation and his sump pump was old and overdue for maintenance. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate for basement waterproofing. We sent one of our expert Design Specialists to his home to inspect the basement and develop the proper solution. After the inspection, our Design Specialist determined that Dallas would best benefit by having our full waterproofing system installed and Dallas agreed.

Our production crew started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, they installed our TripleSafe sump pump in place of the old sump pump and replaced the concrete over the drainage system and around the sump pump. Since water was also leaking into the basement through the block foundation, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system along the basement walls. This protects the basement from moisture and potential mold growth. The installation took a few days to complete, but now Dallas and his family are enjoying a dry, bright, and healthy space!

Basement Water Issues Solved In Pequot Lakes, MN

Linda, from Pequot Lakes, MN, was looking for some solutions for her home's basement space. The basement was experiencing water intrusion, so she decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to the property. 

Following a thorough inspection, Shane gave his recommendations to Linda, suggesting that she invest in our WaterGuard system as well as our SuperSump Plus. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. Linda agreed, and our crew got to work.

Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew began implementing our WaterGuard System, 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 crew then broke out concrete to make a feed line. From there, our crew installed our SuperSump Plus Sump Pump to the feedline. Our crew filled the open gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. 

After all was said and done, Linda was very glad she made the decision to call American Waterworks and had her peace of mind restored.

Sump Pump Installed in Clarkfield, MN

A male homeowner in Clarkfield, MN had water leaking from his pre-existing sump pump, so he went online to research waterproofing companies. He came across American Waterworks and saw that we perform work for sump pumps. He called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to his home, inspected his sump pump, and drew up a solution that worked for him, his home repair needs, and his budget. The homeowner was confident in Dylan's proposal of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System and its warranty, so he went ahead with the installation and scheduled a date for the repairs. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump that we provide for homeowners. Our TripleSafe is made with three levels of protection and solves all three problems in one system. To complete the installation, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it, ensuring the basement looked neater than when they found it.
