Alan I. of Fargo, ND was experiencing a settling foundation, making him feel nervous about the safety of living in his home. He went to his local home show to see if he could find a contractor that could help him. After seeing American Waterworks and discussing our foundation repair products with our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, Alan felt confident with our work. He scheduled a FREE Estimate for Rick to come to his home, inspect the problem, and come up with a solution. After an in-depth examination, Alan felt comfortable with Rick's proposal, and our foundation repair helical piers, so he went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, began the installation by digging the soil out from the area around the foundation and had the helical pier sections be mechanically "screwed" into the soil. Once the depths were met, the foundation brackets were installed below and against the foundation footing/ The weight of Alan's home was then transferred through the helical piers to deeper soils. His home was then lifted back into its original position. To complete the project, Matt and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil, leaving the home looking neater than when they found it. 

Take-away about our helical piers: They create a supporting base that helps transfer the weight of the home down towards the stronger, supportive soils.

Radon is the first cause of cancer among non-smokers in the United States, and over 20,000 Americans die from radon-related lung cancer each year. Breathing radon gas is a greater health risk than ingesting water that contains radon, and it's a greater health risk to children than to adults. 

Krystal V. of Fargo, ND was curious about the radon levels in her home so she did some research on HomeAdvisor to find a local contractor that could help her. She came across American Waterworks and found out that we perform in that kind of work and provide FREE Estimates for all of our services. She called our office line and set up a FREE Estimate to get her home tested by our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to Krystal's home, tested her levels, and notified her that the results came back high. To make sure the air she was breathing was and is safe, she decided to get our Radon Mitigation System installed in her home, so she signed the contract and wrote a deposit check.

Our Foreman, Geno Mclain, and his crew member started the Radon Mitigation installation by drilling a hole through the concrete floor of the basement. The purpose of doing that is to form a suction point for the radon gas. Our crew ran the piping up through the basement wall, to the outside of the home, and up to the roof. Geno installed a fan at the top of the PVC pipe to make sure that the radon gas was being pushed up and away from the home. The installation took less than a day to complete. Krystal's radon levels went down dramatically. She was much happier living and breathing in her home knowing that she was living in a much safer environment.

A homeowner of Horace, ND was noticing cracks and settlements in their concrete. This is due to the poor soil underneath the concrete. Soil can soften due to moisture, shrink due to dryness, or become unstable if it's not properly compacted when first poured. This causes open voids beneath the concrete, so it will sink, crack, and become uneven in no time. This homeowner didn't want that to happen to his concrete either. They called American Waterworks after seeing a local advertisement in the newspaper. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowner's house to inspect the issue and prepare a solution. The presentation and conversation took about two hours. The homeowner got all of their questions answered, felt confident in the product and its warranty, and was comfortable with our approach, so they signed the contract, wrote out a deposit, and scheduled a date for the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew were able to provide the homeowner with a great experience and brought value back to their home!

Shirley, from Tower City, ND, got in contact with us when she and her congregation began to notice water pooling in the basement of their church. After obtaining the funds necessary to fix the issue, Shirley contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate with us. Because of her location, we directed this job to our branch in Fargo, ND. One of our Design Specialists, Kole, was able to get out to the property to do his inspection. When he was done, he was able to explain to Shirley that the water in the basement was entering through cracks and holes in the walls of the basement. While the water had done damage, Kole remained optimistic that, with his recommendations, Shirley could prevent any further damage from coming to the church. Kole recommended the installation of our SuperSump Plus, WaterGuard, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier. Shirley agreed with Kole's suggestions and the installation process began soon after. 

Our Foreman for the project, Cameron, and his crew went out to the property and began with the installation of the CleanSpace and WaterGuard drainage system. The CleanSpace vapor barrier is a tarp-like material that is tact onto the problem walls and works to catch any water entering the space, directing it down to the WaterGuard. Our WaterGuard drainage system lays below the floor and atop the foundation footing and works to gather water collected by the CleanSpace, directing it to the appropriate place. Finally, Cameron and his crew installed the SuperSump Plus sump pump to redirect water out and away from the property. 

Now Shirley and her congregation can have peace of mind knowing that their water problem has been addressed and that our systems are always working to keep their space dry.

Linda from Fargo, ND noticed that her basement walls started to bow inward which affected the home by showing cracks on the Drywall. Linda was worried about the foundation of her home and wanted to prevent any further damage to her home. She then came into contact with our Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and claimed her FREE estimate which entitles her to a free home inspection. Once the appointment was scheduled our Design Specialist began a thorough inspection to get a better understanding of the issue that Linda is experiencing.  The Design Specialist came to the conclusion that the best solution for Linda is to invest in our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. Linda agreed with the proposal and proceeded with the project by scheduling an installation date. 

Our Forman along with their Production crew then began the project by digging six holes parallel and 12 feet away from the problem wall. Once dug the team then drills and inserts a 12-foot rod through the problem wall until it is exposed in the hole that is dug parallel to the wall. Once exposed an anchor is attached to both ends of the rod allowing the problem wall to be pushed back to its original position. When the GeoLock Wall anchors are in place the team then proceeds to backfill the hole to its original look.

A customer from Argusville, ND was beginning to notice that the floor on the main level of her home was beginning to show signs of sagging. She was concerned that the issue was originating from the crawl space beneath the home. She wanted to make sure no further damage could be done, so she began to do some research about companies offering crawl space services in her area, and came across our website. When she called our office, we set her up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to assess the damage. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made a few recommendations as to how we could help the homeowner restore her crawl space. Kole wanted to use our SmartJacks for crawl spaces and informed our customer that the SmartJack is the solution for sagging floors and works to stabilize and level the sagging beams. He went on to say that they not only provide supplemental support to your failing structure -- they can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. This crawl space support system is unique in that it's 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 Kole's recommendations and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Zach, and his team work diligently to complete the installations and in the end, installed 8 of our SmartJacks throughout the crawl space of the home. Now our customer can walk on even floors and put any worries of failing crawl space beams in the past. 

Eileen, a homeowner in Gardner, ND, was feeling frustrated with the state of her home's front sidewalk. Because of the concrete settling and sinking, she was experiencing trip hazards and water pooling problems. Her main concern was how water would pool and then freeze in the winter, creating a dangerous icy slab at her home's entrance. After looking around, she called American Waterworks for a FREE estimate!

Our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to take a look, created a recommendation proposal for Eileen, and answered any questions she had so she was confident in the plan.

We got to work lifting and leveling her entire sidewalk, as well as sealing all joints and cracks. Our Foreman, went out with his crew and installed our PolyLevel lifting and leveling solutions. The crew started by installing injection ports over the gaps to guide the PolyLevel underneath the concrete. Then, our team injected the PolyLevel through the holes to get underneath the slab and fill the voids to raise and level the slab surface. Once that portion of the project was completed, our crew applied our NexusPro over the cracks to prevent moisture from seeping underneath and to give the concrete a neat, polished appearance. To complete the installation, our crew provided Eileen with a thorough walkthrough of what they did and ensured her expectations were met. If you are having similar issues to Eileen, reach out for your FREE estimate!

Joel from Arthur, ND, was noticing that his concrete driveway was showing signs of sinkage, creating trip hazards and pooling water. Arthur was tired of being wary of his sunken concrete, so he contact us and we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. One of our Design Specialists, Rick, headed out to the property to asses the situation. Once his walkthrough concluded, Rick agreed with Joel that something should be done about the sinking concrete before it would be more expensive to replace, or to correct any damage to the home or cars that could come from the sunken slabs. Rick recommended the use of our PolyLevel concrete lifting and leveling solution. He explained to Joel that our PolyLevel is the most modern solution available to fix sunken concrete. He went on to say that its an expanding polyurethane foam that gets injected beneath the slab to achieve a proper lift. Joel agreed and work began some time after the inspection. 

Our Foreman, Troy, and his Co-Foreman, Corey, began the process by strategically drilling holes into the problem slab. Next, they injected the PolyLevel foam while they closely monitored the lifting process to ensure no overcorrections were made. Once the job was complete, Joel was thrilled to know he no longer needed to watch his step on his concrete driveway!

After a particularly heavy rainfall, a homeowner from Gardner, ND, noticed water pooling on her concrete. Anxious about the effects of winter, the homeowner searched for a solution. After seeing many positive reviews on HomeAdvisor, the homeowners decided to sign up for a FREE with American Waterworks. We sent out a Design Specialist, Kole, to draft a possible solution for the homeowner. Kole discovered that the sidewalk was settling and needed to be lifted. Additionally, Kole suggested filling all the cracks to prevent water leaking. The homeowners agreed and the crew was sent to begin. The crew started by utilizing the PolyLevel to lift the sidewalk and garage apron. The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection used to restore the safety and appearance of concrete. Next, the crew used NexusPro to fill all the cracks throughout the garage apron and sidewalk. The NexusPro Solution is a silicon-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions. The crew successfully lifted and leveled the concrete and filled all the cracks throughout. The homeowners were relieved that their sidewalk was fixed and was safe to walk on during the winter. 

A homeowner in Hunter, ND, was enjoying time with their family when they noticed a bad stench. After searching, the homeowner found the source of the stench was the crawlspace. Disgusted by the smell, the homeowner searched for a company to provide a solution. The homeowners discovered American Waterworks' FREE estimate and decided to give it a try. We sent out our Design Specialist, Kole, to examine the crawlspace. Following his examination, Kole suggested that we clear up the crawlspace and encapsulate it.  The homeowners concurred and the crew began the installation. Our Foreman, Franklin, and his crew started the job by picking up all the debris off the floor and tearing down the old installation. Next, the crew measured and lined up the Foammax onto the crawlspace walls. Foamax is a polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel that has a white foil finish on the front and a foil vapor barrier on the back. The Foamax is secured into place with studs onto the desired wall. The crew's next task was to apply spray foam to the rim joist above the Foamax. Once the spray foam was applied, the crew could move on to applying the CleanSpace. First, the crew installed the CleanSpace on top of the Foamax by drilling it with plastic fasteners. Then the crew installed CleanSpace on the crawlspace floor. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that is durable, washable and has UltraFresh, an anti-microbial protection. Finally, the crew closed off the vents and completed the job. The homeowner was pleased that the scent departed and their crawlspace was properly encapsulated. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in West Fargo, ND was enjoying his basement space with his family when one of his kids told him there was some water on the floor. He took a closer look and noticed the water was present along the whole wall and had damaged some of their belongings. Not wanting the issue to worsen over time, he contacted American Waterworks the next day. The homeowner was pleased to find out that we offered FREE no-obligation estimates for customers to learn more about what was going on before agreeing to any installations. We sent one of our expert Design Specialists, Dylan Johnson, to the home where he carried out an inspection of the basement. Dylan informed the homeowner that installing both our WaterGuard system and SuperSump Plus pump would stop the water from entering the basement and prevent further damage to the home. The homeowner agreed and the plans were approved. When our Forman Domenic Walz and his crew arrived at the site, they began the installations with jackhammering a channel along the water-damaged wall. Next, a layer of drainage stone was placed in the channel followed by the WaterGuard perimeter drain system and more clean stone. The purpose of this drain is to collect water from the basement wall-floor joint, the basement walls and from under the basement floor, and direct it to the installed sump pump. The old pump was then replaced with the new SuperSump Plus pump and a discharge line, which leads the pumped water up and outside of the house. Finally, the crew made the finishing touches and laid fresh concrete on top of the WaterGuard system for protection and a cleaner look. The homeowner was impressed with the installations and efficiency of our crew.

A homeowner in Fargo, ND noticed just how much damage his driveway had gone through over the years. He didn't know what the best way to move forward was on his own, so he decided to find a business that specialized in concrete repair to help him out. During his search he found the American Waterworks website and it stood out to him because of our FREE no-obligation estimate offers. The homeowner was sure that we were the best fit for this job and scheduled his own free estimate. We decided to send over Design Specialist Richie Noreen to check out the driveway and make his suggestions to improve the look and feel of it. Richie found multiple issues when he inspected the area and assured the homeowner that everything could be fixed. The homeowner was concerned about problems worsening, so he agreed to the plans and prepared for the installations. Our Foreman, Charlie Coleman, and his crew arrived at the site to begin production. They first focused on lifting the sunken area with our PolyLevel solution. They drilled small holes around the driveway and inserted ports through them to connect to the empty space below the concrete. Then they injected the PolyLevel through the ports until lifted to the original height. The expanding properties of the polyurethane allow for an accurate leveling of the slab. Once everything was lifted, the crew filled in the holes and remaining joints and cracks with NexusPro, a flexible sealant that provides long-lasting results and durability. To finish the project, a layer of native sand was placed on top of the sealant for a smooth and pleasant look to the driveway. Our crew made sure the homeowner was happy with the results before packing up their materials and leaving the site.

A homeowner in Fargo, ND was tired of dealing with the problems in her front sidewalk. Over the years many of the slabs had sunk and tilted in different directions which created multiple trip hazards and allowed for water to pool up in a portion of the sidewalk when it rained. She knew it was time to stop putting off the project and began her search for a concrete repair company that could help.

A homeowner in Fargo, ND, noticed their driveway was slightly sinking into the ground. Worried about the long-term issues, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert solution. After asking their neighbors and doing some research, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. After calling our Appointment Center and signing up for their FREE estimate, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Kole.

Once his inspection concluded, Kole determined the sidewalk and top slabs of the driveway needed to be lifted and leveled. Kole suggested a solution that would solve all their issues. The homeowner agreed with Kole's suggestions and the plans were sent to our Logistics team for approval. After they received the stamp of approval, our Foreman, Charlie, and his crew made their way to the home to begin the project. Once they arrived, they started by lifting the sidewalk and driveway apron with PolyLevel. The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of the concrete. The crew started by strategically drilling small holes throughout the slab. Then, the crew inserts ports into those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew shifted their focus to filling the cracks and replacing the joints. The crew utilized NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. After the project was complete, the crew cleaned up their items and left the home. The homeowner was thankful to know their sidewalk and driveway were properly lifted and leveled.

Once the GeoLock is in place, another anchor is attached to the interior wall. Both GeoLocks are connected by a small, steel pole direct through the ground. Then, the GeoLocks are secured, and the soil is put back on top of the ground. Once the GeoLocks were in place, the crew installed two PowerBraces on the north foundation wall. PowerBraces is a foundation wall repair system, designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten them over time. First, the crew begins by cutting the wall braces. Next, the PowerBraces are secured into the floor joist hardware and fine-tuned into the correct position. Then, the PowerBraces are attached to the floor with a special, bolt-in-place bracket. Once the crew completed the installation process, they cleaned up their materials and put the yard back together. The homeowner was put at ease knowing their foundation was saved from possible failure. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in West Fargo, ND, was concerned their basement was showing signs of early flooding. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner decided to look into professional waterproofing companies near Fargo, ND. The homeowner noticed stories about our previous waterproofing jobs and decided to read them. Once they read our previous success stories, the homeowners knew we were the best company to work with.

Following his arrival, Kole introduced himself to the homeowner and began his detailed inspection of the basement. Kole wrapped up his inspection and determined that one wall was the culprit of the water intrusion. Once he found the cause of the issue, Kole was able to provide the homeowner with a recommended solution. Once they heard Kole's plan, they agreed it was the best plan of action. Kole passed the plans along to the office to be approved, then to our Foreman, Kingsley, to begin the project. Kingsley and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First, Kingsley and his crew began by installing WaterGuard along the struggling wall. The WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew can go ahead and place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on top of the stone and covered with cement. Once the WaterGuard is in place, the crew could shift their focus to digging and installing a feedline to connect to the current sump pump system. Next, the crew installed CleanSpace on the unfinished basement walls. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that prevents humidity and mold growth. The crew installs CleanSpace by mechanically attaching them to the basement walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners.
