American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Saint Paul, MN noticed that his walkway in front of the steps had tremendously settled causing a bit gap between the slab and the step. After putting this project off for a while, the homeowner realized that it was time to get it fixed so he began searching for concrete lifting in the area and found our website. After browsing through our website, the homeowner was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule his FREE estimate.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Canon T., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection and answer questions. During the inspection, Canon explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of sinking concrete is soil washout. When it rains or floods, water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils keeping the concrete slabs upright. For this reason, Canon recommended our PolyLevel, a water-resistant polyurethane formula that allows for accurate lifting of the slab. Unlike traditional methods such as mudjacking, PolyLevel is efficient, cures quickly, and is cost-effective. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Patrick B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They lifted the settling walkway by first drilling small holes into the slab and inserting the injection ports. Using an injection gun, PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab, expanding and filling in the empty spaces of the soil. This causes the slab to lift to the desired level and the crew would then seal the holes with cement. Once they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Shoreview, MN, realized that it was taking a long time for his home to heat up so he decided to look further into it. He learned that it was a possible issue with his crawl space as a poorly insulated crawl space can cause the pipes in the home to take a longer time to heat up. The homeowner then decided to look for crawl space repair in the area and found our website and contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, one of our Design Specialist arrived at the home. During his inspection, he noticed that the crawl space was filled with dirt and faced water damage. He explained to the homeowner that high moisture levels in the crawl space reduce the efficiency of the home and can attract unwanted pests. Our Design Specialist then recommended our CleanSpace, a wall vapor barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls, and our SmartDrain, a sump pump designed for crawl spaces. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jesus C., and his crew arrived at the home. They covered the walls and flooring with CleanSpace and installed SmartDrain in the corner of the crawlspace. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing he can save up to 20% on his energy bills with his encapsulated crawl space! Are you experiencing something similar? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate with one of our trained experts!

Next, the Design Specialist passed the plans along to our Logistics team to build and approve the project. Our Logistics team built the project and scheduled it for the following weeks.

Following heavy rainfall, a homeowner in Calmar, IA, knew they needed to inspect their basement for any damage. The homeowner went to the basement and made a startling discovery, several wet spots throughout the basement. Knowing this would only worsen, the homeowner knew they needed to find a lasting solution. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing companies near Calmar, IA. Our stellar reviews and ratings immediately caught the homeowner's attention, so they went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Iowa-based Design Specialists, Brady, to the home to begin the estimate appointment. During his investigation, Brady found that several areas in the basement where water was sneaking in. Brady completed the estimate appointment and was able to provide the homeowner with a solution to the issue. After hearing Brady's proposal, the homeowner knew this was their best option, so they agreed. Brady sent the plans to our Office, then they passed the plans along to our Foreman, Juan, and his crew. Once they received the proposal, Juan and his crew traveled to Calmar and began the waterproofing project. First, Juan and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Next, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. Once the SuperSump+ was secured, the crew dug a feedline to connect the WaterGuard to the new sump. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Juan and his crew wrapped up the project and left the basement better than they arrived. The homeowner was impressed with the transformation done by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to transform its customer's basements and eliminate any water intrusion issues. 

A homeowner from Lake City, MN, had noticed her basement walls were leaking after heavy rain in the area. She was concerned about what leaking walls could mean for her house, so she immediately began to search for 'interior basement waterproofing near me' and quickly found our website. She signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. 

Upon his arrival, Darin got right to work assessing the space. Once he finished, he was ready to meet with the homeowner to deliver recommendations. Darin began by saying that the homeowner did the right thing by seeking a professional's help. He explained that water intrusion issues are often simpler to tackle when they're first noticed versus years down the road. Darin wanted a comprehensive system for this basement to ensure that unwanted water was a thing of the past. First, he recommended the installation of our CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto unfinished basement walls, acting to catch water entering through small cracks and holes in the foundation, directing it downward and into our WaterGuard system. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor but atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain works to trap water entering from the CleanSpace, as well as any water coming up through holes in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to the appropriate disposal site. Darin noted that the basement lacked a means of disposing of unwanted water, so he recommended our SuperSump Plus, an effective yet economical decision for combating unwanted water. The homeowner loved the idea of our products working together to keep the basement dry and signed on the spot. 

When the day of the installation eventually rolled around, our Foreman, Lane S, and his team arrived bright and early to complete the project. In the end, they successfully installed 95ft of WaterGuard, 79ft of CleanSpace, and 1 SuperSump Plus sump pump. Now, our customer can enjoy the rain, confidently knowing that her basement has the best line of defense against water!
