American Waterworks Before & After Photos

GeoLock Anchor Wall SystemA homeowner from Alta Vista, MN had been keeping an eye on their bowing basement wall for a few years when they finally decided it was time to search for a remedy to the problem. After speaking with neighbors and friends, they decided to reach out to American Waterworks to see what they would be looking at. Once they scheduled their FREE, no-obligation estimate they were able to get a date on the calendar for one of our Design Specialists to come out to the home and conduct a thorough walkthrough. 

Once the inspection had been completed, our Design Specialist was ready to make his recommendations as to how to fix the failing wall. He informed the homeowner that the basement could benefit from the use of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. He informed the homeowner that this solution has minimal disturbance of the home, and is designed to permanently stabilize foundation walls by anchoring the walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home. He went on to say that after the installation is complete, wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation walls to pull them back to their original position. 

Our Foreman and his team ended up installing 16 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the space. Now our customer can enjoy their basement without fearing a failing foundation.

Kevin E. in Cochrane, WI realized that after the seasons changed from winter to spring, his driveway had begun to sink. Which was causing an uneven surface from the driveway to his garage. He stopped by the American Waterworks booth at a local home show and spoke with our Design Specialist, Mac Cole, about the problem he was having with his concrete. Mac explained our PolyLevel foam injection solution and set up a time to come to his home and do a FREE estimate. Mac developed a plan to inject PolyLevel into multiple areas of the concrete to raise the driveway to be level with the garage. 

Our Foreman, Brandon Wiskow, completed the PolyLevel injection in a couple of hours. Kevin was able to see the transformation right away because our PolyLevel foam only takes about 30 minutes to cure after it is injected. Kevin was pleased that this option was more affordable and faster than traditional concrete repair, all while still being a durable solution.

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.
