American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Terry from Wheaton, MN had begun to notice a draft originating from the crawl space below his home. He was worried that his crawl space was the culprit behind high energy bills in the colder months. After doing some research, he decided to call our office to see if we could help. We set him up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to see what could be done. When he arrived, he completed a thorough inspection. Once he concluded, he was ready to make some recommendations. He wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address the drafty space. He explained that our CleanSpace for crawl spaces gets applied to the walls of the space and works to repel any humidity, moisture, or outside air. Terry agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Luis, and his team ended up installing 154 ft of our CleanSpace throughout the crawl space. Now Terry can enjoy the winter months without worrying that his drafty crawl space is running up a high energy bill. 

John from Wheaton, MN was beginning to suspect that his sump pump was in need of an update. He noticed that the system wasn't performing as it used to, and as a result, unwanted water was finding its way into the lower levels of his home. John was afraid that the water would cause a more expensive issue to fix down the road if it wasn't properly addressed. He came across our business and decided to give us a call. We set John up with our FREE estimate and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property to see what could be done. Ian recommended our TripleSafe sump pump to replace the older model. Ian explained that the TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump system, providing three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. John agreed with his recommendations and work began weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Zach, installed the new sump pump with no issues. Now John can head into the wetter months without worrying that his sump pump isn't equipped to handle large amounts of water. 

John, a homeowner in Wheaton, MN, needed a solution for his basement water issues. With heavy rainfall, water entered the basement where the floor and foundation meet, and egress windows were filling up with water. After looking around he went on the American Waterworks website and we set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to his home to inspect the leaks and devise a solution. John got all of his questions answered and was confident in Ian's proposal, so he moved forward with the project. 

First, Foreman and his production crew started the installation by completing a half-wall demo and then breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System along the East wall of the basement where issues were present. 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. To complete the WaterGuard project, Zachary and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Are you having water problems in your basement?

Next, our TripleSafe Sump Pump System was implemented in the basement. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. The TripleSafe Sump Pump also comes with a battery backup which helps when the home may lose power; the sump pump will still function and drain the excess water. To complete the project, the team covered the gaps with engineer fill, preventing soil from entering the Sump Basket and damaging the Pump System. Then they apply a new layer of concrete to give a finishing look. Finally, the team worked to fix the leaky basement windows with the WellDuct® Basement Window System to redirect flooding to a perimeter drain or drywell.

Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know that his basement had been transformed and he no longer had to worry about water intrusion! 

A Wheaton, MN, homeowner had been keeping an eye on his foundation for some time. The homeowner had been aware of his foundation wall cracking in several places, but had been overwhelmed by the project and let it slip through the cracks. He decided to find a MN foundation repair company and quickly found our website. He was impressed with other work we had done in his area and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist went out to the home. When he arrived, he got right to work inspecting the home foundation. When he was done, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. He began by saying that foundation walls are not designed to withstand loads from the side, so when the pressure exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. He went on to say that he completely understands being overwhelmed by a large project and wanted the homeowner to know that he had options. Our Design Specialist went on to say that, in this case, he was recommending our PowerBrace system. The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. This innovative system can also be tightened over time to meet the needs of the home. The homeowner was grateful for our Design Specialist's honest and transparent proposal and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Emmanuel A, and his team effortlessly installed 9 of our PowerBrace's throughout the basement, successfully restoring our customer's confidence in his home!

James N. of Vergas, MN had a damp and musty crawl space, causing him to worry about mold, humidity, and pests. He went on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks in our North Dakota location. He scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie. Richie went to his home, examined his crawl space, and drew up a solution that worked for him and his home repair needs. After a thorough inspection, James was confident in Richie's proposal and had all of his questions answered, so he signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team began the project by cleaning out the entire crawl space from back to front. Next, our team installed 1,092 square feet of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Moisture Barrier, which is made to prevent mold and pests, provides more storage space, and keeps the warm and cold air out depending on the season. The installation took two days and James was happy with the work that was done!
