Kathleen L. in Frost, MN noticed that the concrete slabs of her driveway leading to her garage and front stoop had sank. The uneven surface had caused a trip hazard, so Kathleen started to research solutions to this problem. She contacted American Waterworks online for a free estimate and shortly after we had an appointment set to evaluate the problem onsite. 

Kathleen chose to go with our PolyLEVEL injection technology, which is a faster and more affordable way to repair uneven concrete slabs. Shortly after the PolyLEVEL was injected she could see the drastic difference it had made. She was pleased that her concrete slabs were safe and level again.

Rivertown Apartments in Anoka, MN contacted us when they realized they had water seeping into some of their units. This was concerning because they didn't want the apartments or any of the tenant's property to be damaged. They also wanted to make sure their tenants were living in a clean, healthy space. American Waterworks had worked with Rivertown Apartments before and they had a pleasant experience, so they trusted that we would do a good job installing our waterproofing system. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson to give them a free onsite inspection and to provide a solution for them. 

In two of the units, our production team installed our WaterGuard drainage sysytem and our SuperSump sump pump system. The WaterGuard guides any water seeping in to the sump pump, then the sump pump discharges the water from the apartment. The waterproofing system ensures that those units will remain dry for years to come. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so the Rivertown Apartments can be at ease knowing that they invested in long-term protection for those units.

Heidi O. of Kiester, MN had a leaking basement for a while, and she was sick of having to worry about it. She gave American Waterworks a call to set up a Free Estimate to inspect her basement. We sent out our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, to diagnose the problem and come up with a solution. Heidi asked all the questions she had and approved of Ryan's waterproofing systems proposal, so they went ahead and scheduled a date for installation. 

The installation included our WaterGuard Drainage System, our TripleSafe Sump Pump, and our IceGuard System. Our foreman, Cory Sather, and his production crew started the installation by breaking out the concrete around the perimeter of the basement to install our WaterGuard, which serves as an underground drainage system for basements. Next, they installed our TripleSafe, also referred to as the best sump pump we offer to customers, and it also offers three levels of extra protection. Then, they filled the open gaps of the perimeter of the basement with rock and relaced the concrete. To finish the installation, Cory and his production team installed the IceGuard outside of the home. The IceGuard connects to the TripleSafe and provides more protection from any more flooding. Heidi was very impressed, satisfied, and content after the installation, and is very happy that she now has a dry basement!

A homeowner in Delavan, MN was frustrated with the state of his driveway. He had dealt with small cracks in the past, but over time they continued to grow and take over more and more of his driveway space. He knew it was time to find a solution that would fix them and smooth out the surface again. Later in the week a car drove past him with the American Waterworks company name, and he was curious about what we specialized in, so once he got home, he looked up "what does AWW do? Sure enough, the homeowner discovered that one of our services was concrete repairs, so he signed up for a FREE estimate to learn more. Our Design Specialist, Brad Williams, arrived at the home to inspect the concrete problems and prepare his recommendations. Brad explained that the current crack issue could be solved with our NexusPro sealant but to also prevent the cracks from forming again, PolyLevel would work to lift and stabilize the concrete. The homeowner was relieved to hear this and agreed to the project plans. On the installation day, our Foreman, Sam Klennert, and his crew went to the site and began the process by drilling small holes throughout the driveway. Next, they inserted ports in the holes to reach the empty space below and injected PolyLevel inside until the concrete was stabilized. Then, the crew filled the holes with NexusPro sealant as well as the cracks spread throughout the surface. To finish, some native sand was sprinkled on top of the sealant for a pleasing and polished final look. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and to have a crack-free driveway again.

A homeowner from Easton, MN, got in contact with us when she noticed water running down the length of her wall during a rainstorm. She was afraid of what this could mean for her basement, so she did research about basement waterproofing companies near her. When she found our website, she decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Ryan completed his thorough inspection of the basement and then met with the homeowner to give her his recommendations. Ryan began by informing her that she had made the right choice by getting in touch with us. He went on to say that the longer homeowners wait, the more damage can be done. Ryan wanted to use a combination of our products to fix the space, WaterGuard and CleanSpace. Ryan elaborated, explaining that the CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly to the basement walls. Its purpose is to direct any water entering through the walls down, along the barrier, and into the WaterGuard, a below-floor drain that works to collect water entering from the ground or the walls, directing it to the proper disposal site and keeping it off the floor. The homeowner agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jose, and his team began the process by jackhammering around the perimeter of the basement to place the WaterGuard. Next, they installed the CleanSpace on the basement walls, making sure it had enough length to run into the trench they had just dug. Next, they laid the WaterGuard in the trench and finished by covering it in a layer of drainage stone and then covering it in a fresh layer of concrete to ensure the trench was now flush with the basement floor. 

Now that the job is complete, our customer is delighted to know that she never has to worry about water intrusion again!
