Basement Near Failure in Hendrum, MN

Over time a homeowner in Hendrum, MN, noticed their walls began to separate and bend. Knowing the project could not be held off anymore, the homeowner looked for a company to help the situation. Following a referral from a neighbor, the homeowners signed up for their FREE estimate. American Waterworks sent out our Design Specialist, Kole, to evaluate the situation. Kole recommended that the walls be stabilized with PowerBraces, WaterGuard, and a new sump pump be installed, and CleanSpace be set in place. Knowing the severity of their situation, the homeowners agreed and construction began.  Foreman, Dylan, and his crew began the project by excavating the walls and straightening the bowing walls immediately. Due to the ducting on the east and west walls, the crew installed C-Channel anchors. On the north and south walls, the crew put in place nine PowerBraces. The crew then moved their focus to installing the WaterGuards on the perimeter of the basement. Additionally, the crew replaced the old sump pump with the TripleSafe sump pump and tied it to the new water system. Following the waterproofing, the crew installed the CleanSpace Wall System on the newly straightened and stabilized basement walls. The homeowner was ecstatic that their family home had been saved and was safe. American Waterworks is glad to provide another family peace of mind. 

Damp Crawl Space Gets Encapsulated In Mapleton, ND

Sue, from Mapleton, ND, was growing more concerned over the state of her wet crawl space. If a a damp crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues can extend to all parts of the home. Sue wanted to understand why it was happening, make sure that the issue was corrected, and restore peace of mind moving forward. After deciding on our company, we set her up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how American Waterworks could help. 

First, Ian recommended our drainage matting; a dimpled matting that gets installed onto the floor of the crawl space, giving any excess water a route to flow through the space and be disposed of at an external site such as a drain or a sump system. Ian's second recommendation was our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp that works to trap any excess moisture in the space, redirecting it to the appropriate disposal site. Our customer agreed with the recommendations and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Jeremiah, and his team ended up installing 1938 sqft of the CleanSpace and a 4' tall Half Wall System in the crawl space. They also worked on installing two of our SmartDrains throughout the crawl space. Our SmartDrains are made specifically to track down water and keep it from invading the crawl space. Sue was very grateful for our team's work to restore her peace of mind so she can enjoy her home without worrying about water intrusion! 

Crawl Space Gets Lifted in Argusville, ND

A homeowner from Argusville, ND was beginning to notice her floor was starting to bow. Because she knew there was a crawl space below, she had concerns about the structural integrity of the home. When she called in, we set her up with our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to assess the damage. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make recommendations as to how we could help. Kole wanted to use our SmartJacks to address the bowing wood in the crawl space. He explained that our SmartJacks are unique in that they are made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. Because your system will not develop rust, it will remain adjustable for years, should you need to perform future adjustments. The homeowner agreed with the recommendations and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Zach, and his team work diligently to install 8 of our SmartJacks throughout the space. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that she no longer had to worry about the strength and safety of her crawl space. 

Driveway Lifted in Argusville, ND

A homeowner in Argusville, ND was unhappy with his driveway and wanted to make a change. The concrete slabs at the top of the driveway were sunken and created a small bump whenever he drove in and out of the garage. He decided to go online and find a solution for the problem before it got worse. With hopes of finding an affordable solution that would eliminate the bump, he found a variety of concrete repair companies in his service area. After looking thoroughly through many options, he decided to go with American Waterworks because of our positive customer reviews and FREE no-obligation estimates. We sent over Design Specialist Kole Lefebvre to the home where he carried out a detailed inspection of the area and prepared some recommendations for the concrete. Kole explained that he had seen similar driveway conditions from other customers and the best way to achieve a level and sealed driveway was with our PolyLevel solution and NexusPro joint sealant. The homeowner agreed to the plans and was relieved that something could be done to help the driveway. Foreman Charlie Coleman and his crew went to the site to carry out the installation of the two products and made sure the homeowner was satisfied with the final results before leaving.
