Craig S. in Shafer, MN had water seeping into his basement and his old sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water coming in. While looking for a local waterproofing company, he came across American Waterworks’ website and decided to contact us for a FREE estimate.
We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his basement and to develop a solution for him. Chad designed a thorough waterproofing plan to ensure that Craig’s basement would remain a permanently dry space after the installation. Craig liked to proposal that Chad put together, so he scheduled the installation.
Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system on the basement floor. They also installed a SuperSump sump pump and our CleanSpace wall system around the entire basement. The WaterGuard properly guides water to the sump pump, which then pumps the water through the discharge line to the outside of the home. The CleanSpace wall system is a vapor barrier that protects the basement from any moisture seeping in and the potential of mold growth. The combination of these waterproofing products has made Craig’s basement a dry, clean and brighter space. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Craig is confident that he chose the right waterproofing solution to protect his basement for the long-term.

A Shafer, MN, homeowner was looking to replace his old sump pump. The system hadn't been able to keep up with the latest round of rain the area had seen, so the homeowner decided to enlist the help of a sump pump specialist. He quickly found American Waterworks and signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dustin A, headed out to the home.
After Dustin completed his inspection, he informed the homeowner that he would recommend replacing the sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump, the most reliable sump pump in our lineup. He elaborated, saying that the TripleSafe provides three levels of protection for your basement and peace of mind. In times of normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For times of heavy water, or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 horsepower pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. The homeowner was thrilled with Dustin's recommendation and signed on the spot.
Several weeks later, our Foreman, Dakota M, and his team successfully replaced the sump pumps. Now, our customer can enjoy the rainfall knowing that his basement has the best line of defense against water intrusion!

Jillian and Nathan of Taylors Falls, MN had water leaking through the floor of their basement, along with musty smells and damaged walls, causing them to worry about the state of the home. Our office staff contacted them and set the pair up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to the home to inspect the problem and devise a solution. Rick proposed they invest in our waterproofing solutions to properly address and resolve the issues. Jillian and Nathan were comfortable with the proposal and went ahead with the solution.
Foreman Raul and his crew headed to the property to begin implementation. First, they began by clearing debris and readying the spaces for installation. They then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water Issues. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier installed right onto the problem walls, and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. It is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners so it never falls. It also prevents any humidity from invading the walls and gives the basement and clean and bright appearance with a 25-year warranty; this also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. Next, the team worked on our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain, collects water from basement walls, and prevents water clogs. Along with that, they installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System which has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home, then the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. Finally, our team added an Aprilaire dehumidifier, which creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days' time when set to 50% relative humidity.
The pair was happy with the work and had a great experience with our production crew! If you are experiencing a similar issue, please give us a call and claim your FREE estimate today!
Jamie and Pat B. of Prior Lake, MN had water leaking into their unfinished basement, causing them to feel nervous living in their own home, so they went to their local home show to find contractors that could help them. They came across our booth and talked to our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, about our waterproofing products. Jamie and Pat decided to have Ryan come out to their home for a FREE Estimate. After a thorough inspection, Jamie and Pat were comfortable with Ryan's proposal, so they went ahead with the project.
Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and their production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed 42 feet of our WaterGuard System, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and act like an underground drain. Next, we applied 42 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and humidity and acts as an extra support system. To complete the project, Cory and his team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Jamie and Pat could not believe the installation only took a day. They had a remarkable experience from start to finish!
