American Waterworks Before & After Photos

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!

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.

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.

Jarrod and Jennifer M. of Montevideo, MN had water seeping into their basement. One of their friends referred them to American Waterworks, so they got in contact with our company and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to their home, thoroughly examined their basement, and determined a plan that would work for them, their needs, and their budget. Jarrod and Jennifer were confident in the proposal, so they scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his crew started the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which prevents water clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and serves as an underground drain. Next, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which triples the protection, solves all three water problems in one system, and comes with a battery backup in case of power failure. To finish the project, our crew covered the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement was neater and cleaner than when they found it.

A customer from Montevideo, MN got in touch with us when a crack began forming on his block basement wall. He feared that if he left the issue unresolved, he would risk severely compromising the home's structural integrity. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation inspection by one of our System Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Eric H. headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make a recommendation as to how we could help correct the issue. Because the wall was beginning to bow inward, Eric wanted to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to address the problem. He explained that this innovative wall anchor system would permanently stabilize the foundation of the home by anchoring the wall to the virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that after the initial installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation wall and pull them back into its original position. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Chris, and his crew ended up strategically installing 5 GeoLock anchors along the problem wall. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that his foundation worries were in the past!
