American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Buffalo City, MN, wanted to refresh their driveway. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner asked their neighbor for suggestions. Their neighbor referred them to us, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Michel, one of our Design Specialists. Once Michel arrived, he greeted the homeowner and began the estimate appointment. Michel recommended that the joints be cleaned and replaced to give the driveway a new look. The homeowner agreed and a solution was sent to our Foreman, Troy, and his crew. When they arrived at the home, Troy and his crew started by taking out all of the bad joints throughout the driveway. Once the old joints were taken out, the crew replaced them with the NexusPro Sealant. Next, the crew cleaned all the leftover joints. Once all the joints were refreshed, the crew applied the SealantPro over the driveway. After the SealantPro was installed the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner loved the look of their revived driveway. American Waterworks is happy to give another driveway life. 

Scott R. in Fountain, MN had water leaking into his basement through the crack where the wall meets the floor. He decided to start looking for a waterproofing contractor and that’s when he found the American Waterworks website. He was impressed that we have been waterproofing experts for almost 30 years, so he decided to contact us for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, went to his home to inspect his basement and he developed a thorough waterproofing plan. Scott was happy with the proposal, so they scheduled the installation. 

Our production team removed the concrete around the perimeter of his basement floor and laid our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the corner of the basement. The WaterGuard guides water to the sump pump and then the water is pumped out of the home through the discharge line. Lastly, they replaced the concrete and installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system which protects the basement from moisture and potential mold growth. Scott was very pleased with the result and it happy that he can now enjoy a dry, healthier basement!

A couple from Fountain, MN got in contact with us when they began to notice that water was finding its way into their basement. Wanting to fix the issue before it could worsen, they contact our office and we set them up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Josh, headed out to the property to complete his walkthrough. Once he completed his inspection, he was ready to make recommendations as to how we could help the couple transform their space. First, Josh wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He told the couple that our CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp that gets applied directly onto the basement walls experiencing leakage. It works to catch water entering through cracks and holes in the foundation, leading it down into Josh's second recommendation, our WaterGuard below-floor french drainage system. Josh said that our WaterGuard is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. Its job is to catch water and then redirect it to the appropriate disposal site. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his team worked to install both products. When they finished, they installed 112ft of our WaterGuard and another 112ft of our CleanSpace throughout the basement. Now our customers can enjoy their space without thoughts of water intrusion. 

The weight and pressure from the concrete was causing this slab to sink. This Elma, IA homeowner decided to call American Waterworks to fix it!

Our design specialist suggested PolyLevel foam injection to raise the concrete. PolyLevel is inserted through a small hole to fill under the sinking area. Polymer materials fill the space and slowly expand to raise the concrete back to its original state. 

These homeowners were so pleased with the outcome! 

A homeowner in Elma, IA was tired of dealing with the large bump that had formed in between his driveway and the garage floor. Over time it had sunk which resulted in this problem and had become an issue for his car and more recently he noticed it was a safety hazard when he tripped on it. Not wanting the problem to get worse, he was determined to go online and find a solution. He searched for "how to fix sinking driveway" and was surprised with how many results showed up. He ended up going with American Waterworks because of our FREE estimate appointments and on the day of his estimate was greeted by one of our Design Specialists. The Design Specialist explained that our PolyLevel product was the best solution for the situation because it was strong enough to lift the concrete back up and less expensive than replacing the whole driveway. The homeowner agreed and later our Foreman, Troy Johnson, and his crew arrived at the site for the installation. They injected the PolyLevel foam and also filled in the empty joints with NexusPro for a smooth finish. The homeowner was excited to have a bump-free driveway again and thanked our crew for their work.
