Dan K. in Dodge Center, MN had water leaking into his basement. The home was built 50 years ago but they had never had problems with water in the basement until recently. It had started damaging his belongings and he was concerned about how the water could affect the air quality in the home. A friend recommended using American Waterworks to waterproof his basement, so he gave us a call and we sent a Design Specialist to him home to give his a FREE onsite estimate. 

Our Design Specialist created a unique plan to protect Dan's basement from any future water damage. Dan agreed that it was the best option for him, so we set a date for the installation. Our crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor and our TripleSafe sump pump system.

The WaterGuard will drain any water seeping in to the sump pump which is then pumped through the discharge line to the outside of the home. Our waterproofing system is guaranteed for a lifetime, so Dan now has peace of mind that his basement is protected.

Jill R. in West Concord, MN was unhappy that the concrete patio in her backyard had started sinking in certain areas. She started looking into concrete repair and found the American Waterworks website. She was interested in learning more about our PolyLevel concrete repair solution, so she contacted us for a free estimate. We sent a Design Specialist to her home to inspect her concrete firsthand and provide her with the right solution. He explained to her that the concrete had started sinking because of the soil underneath was washing out from the rain. He assured her that our PolyLevel foam could raise her concrete and make her patio a safe, beautiful place again.

Jill was pleased to hear that PolyLevel is a durable, efficient and cost-effective option, so she scheduled the repair. Our concrete repair experts drilled small holes into her concrete slabs and injected the polymer foam until the slabs were raised and even.

Brianna S. in Claremont, MN had cracked and bowing walls in her basement. She had been experiencing water seeping through the cracks in the walls, so she contacted American Waterworks to receive a free estimate. Our Design Specialist, Mike Radosevich, recommended having wall anchors installed to permanently stabilize the walls and give them a chance to straighten, which would help with Brianna’s water problem. She was happy with the solution that Mike developed, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production crew started the process by digging small holes in the yard that line up with where the anchors would be installed. Then, they drilled small holes through the block foundation into the soil surrounding the home. They secured the rods on each end with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they could go. After the installation, the walls began to straighten. Brianna’s foundation is now permanently secured, and her peace of mind has been restored!

A homeowner in Dodge Center, MN, wanted to have their basement inspected after discovering wet spots throughout the floor. After a heavy storm, the damp spot worsened and worried the homeowner. Not wanting to wait any longer, the homeowner began their search for a solution. After comparing many companies, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for the FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin, to inspect the home. Following his detailed inspection, Dustin recommended that our WaterGuard drain system be installed near the edges of the home. The WaterGuard system is a perimeter drain system engineered to fix basement water problems without clogging. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew can place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on the stone and covered with cement. Additionally, the crew dug a feedline across the cement. This feedline will tie the existing sump pump into the new WaterGuard system. Once all the products were properly installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was thankful for the crew's excellent work. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Kasson, MN, was worried about the status of their basement after discovering a musty smell. Unsure of what was causing the smell, the homeowner knew they needed an expert's advice. The homeowner asked their friend who had a similar issue and they recommended American Waterworks. Trusting their friend's advice, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent Nick, one of our Design Specialists, to complete the investigation. Nick arrived at the home and began his detailed investigation. Nick discovered wet spots in the carpet and knew the basement needed additional waterproofing. Nick alerted the homeowner of his findings and suggested a solution that would solve all of the issues. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Nick's suggestions. After getting the stamp of approval, our Foreman, Gabriel, and his crew were assigned to complete the project. When they arrived at the home, Gabriel and his crew began by installing the WaterGuard around the entire basement. 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. After the WaterGuard was installed, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe sump pump. To connect the TripleSafe to the WaterGuard, the crew installed a feedline across the foundation floor. Next, the crew mechanically attached CleanSpace to the basement walls. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that is ideal for foundation walls. The crew installed the IceGuard, an anti-freeze fitting, on the outside discharge line. Once the project was complete, the crew took down the protective plastic and cleaned up their materials. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement no longer smelled musty. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!

A homeowner in Dodge Center, MN was enjoying her basement space when she noticed something different about the bathroom area. Upon closer look, she realized that one of the walls had some water leaking through it. She became worried about the damage that had already occurred and wanted to prevent further damage from happening, so she started her research on companies in the area that could be of assistance. During her search, she came across the American Waterworks website and was interested in our FREE no-obligation estimate services. She signed up for one and was later greeted by Design Specialist Brian Ramirez. Brian inspected the area and informed the homeowner that there was a way to fix the problem. He explained that with our WaterGuard system, the water that was entering would be intercepted at the perimeter of the basement and safely sent away. The homeowner was relieved to hear that something could be done so she wouldn't have to deal with water-damaged walls again. Our Foreman, Diego Barrientos, and his crew arrived at the site to carry out the installation of the WaterGuard. To start the project, they began by jackhammering channels along the floor at the base of the wall. Next, they laid drainage stone in the channels, followed by the WaterGuard system and more clean stone. They connected the drains to the current pump system with a feed line for the water to pass through and once everything was in place, covered it with a fresh layer of concrete. The crew smoothed the area out for a clean finish to the project. The homeowner was excited with the results and happy to have the problem gone.

A homeowner in Kasson, MN was tired of dealing with the issues in his front driveway. There were multiple sunken slabs that created small bumps that were very noticeable every time his car had to drive over it. He also wanted to get rid of the weeds and grass that was growing in the joints in between the slabs because of how much they separated. He decided to go online and looked up "how to fix sinking driveway" in hopes of finding a solution sooner than later. He found the American Waterworks company website through the searching and decided to go with us and sign up for a FREE estimate after reading so many positive customer reviews. We received his request and sent over one of our Design Specialists, Romeo Vilai, to the home to inspect the concrete. From his experience, Romeo knew that the driveway was in need of lifting and leveling from our PolyLevel foam. The homeowner trusted his judgement and agreed to the installations. Later, one of our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his crew went to the site to begin the project. 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. Once everything was lifted, the crew filled in the holes and remaining joints 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.
