WaterGuard Installation in Winona, MN

A homeowner in Winona, MN became concerned when he noticed a small puddle of water that had formed at the bottom of one of the basement walls. He decided rather than worrying about what the damage was, contacting a business that could fix the situation would be the best next step. While searching online, he came across our website and our FREE no-obligation estimate offer caught his eye. He was happy to have an expert's opinion on the situation first rather than beginning to tackle it with no information. He signed up for an appointment and was later greeted by Design Specialist Trevor Simmons. Trevor had seen similar basement water damage before and informed the homeowner that the best course of action would be to install our WaterGuard system. He explained that this perimeter drain system is specifically engineered to fix basement water problems effectively without the issues of clogging from soil and sediment. The homeowner happily agreed to the installation plan. A few weeks later, our Foreman, Chris Newton, and his team carefully installed the WaterGuard and made sure it was properly functioning. The homeowner was happy to be rid of the water intrusion and could enjoy his basement once again.

Drifting Concrete Driveway Repaired in Winona, MN

A homeowner in Winona, MN, knew it was time to have their falling-apart driveway repaired. Knowing they needed professional assistance, the homeowner began looking into concrete repair services near them. The homeowner did not need to look any further than Rochester, MN, home to American Waterworks. After hearing such wonderful reviews from their friends and family, the homeowner knew that we were the best choice for them. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Will. After Will arrived at the property, he started inspecting the driveway. Will determined the driveway desperately needed to be lifted and leveled. He proposed his findings and a solution to the homeowner, to which they agreed. After they were approved by the homeowner, they were sent to the office and then to our Foreman, Troy. Once Troy and his crew received the plans, they traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Troy and his crew started by lifting the driveway using PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam solution. After the driveway was lifted, the crew replaced all the driveway joints with NexusPro Joint Sealant, a silicone-based solution. Once all the joints were repaired, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was thankful for the excellent work completed by the crew.

Sunken Driveway Gets Lifted in Winona, MN

A homeowner from Winona, MN, was dealing with a sunken driveway. Because the driveway had sunken so much, the homeowner would need to step on the gas to enter the garage and then immediately slam on the brakes to ensure they didn't hit the wall of the garage. No longer wanting to put up with this issue, the homeowner decided to take action. During an online search, he found our website and decided to claim his FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Will R, headed out to the home. 

Once Will completed his inspection of the concrete, he informed the homeowner that we could fix the issue with the help of our PolyLevel concrete lifting method. Will explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion and slowly lift the slabs back into place. He went on to say that our lifts are completed with the application of our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied to the cracks and joints of the concrete and works to prevent debris or moisture from getting below the slab. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan, and work began a few weeks later. 

On the day of the install, our Foreman, Troy, and his team completed the lift and seal with no issues. Now, our customer can enter his garage without worrying about a stressful situation!

Upgraded Waterproofing System Saves Basement in Winona, MN

A homeowner from Winona, MN, was facing an issue with the existing sump pump in her basement. The homeowner had noticed that the sump pump cycled very often, even in times when there was no precipitation. The final straw occurred when her town received heavy amounts of rain and her sump system didn't turn on, leaving her with a mess in her basement. She decided to search for sump pump repairs in Minnesota and eventually found our website. She signed up for her FREE estimate and several weeks later, Mac C, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to complete his inspection. 

Mac made sure to pay extra attention to the sump in the basement. When he finished his walkthrough, he was ready to make his recommendations. Mac recommended two of our products that he believed would fix the problem. First, Mac informed the homeowner he wanted to use our WaterGuard, a unique below-floor French drain that sits atop the footing of the home's foundation. This placement allows the drain to stay out of the "mud zone" where other drains of this nature tend to clog. It works to catch water entering through holes and cracks and the floor, giving it a channel to flow to the appropriate disposal site, which in this case, Mac wanted to be our TripleSafe sump pump. This pump is the most reliable pump in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for your basement and your 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 plan for her basement and decided to sign on the spot. 

Several weeks later, Kiko, our Foreman, and his team headed out to complete the installation. Once he finished, our customer was thrilled to know she no longer had to worry about water intrusion!

 

Sump Pump Saves Basement in Winona, MN

A homeowner from Winona, MN, got in touch with us after her basement began taking on water after a hard rain. She signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan K, was out at the home. 

Ryan got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he was ready to make his recommendations. First, Ryan wanted to use our WaterGuard perimeter drain. 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 other drains of its nature tend to clog. Ryan explained that this drain works to collect any water coming up through the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. During Ryan's inspection, he noticed that the basement lacked a means of disposing of the unwanted water, so he recommended our TripleSafe sump pump. This powerful pump is the most reliable in our lineup, offering three levels of protection for both your basement and your peace of mind. The homeowner agreed with his recommendations and decided to schedule the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor S, led his team through the successful installation of 20ft of WaterGuard and 1 TripleSafe sump. Now, our customer can enjoy the rain without wondering if it will end up in her basement!
