Experienced Basement Waterproofing Company Serving Goodhue County

Eric S. from Goodhue, MN contacted us when he realized that water was leaking into his basement after a heavy rainfall. Unfortunately, his basement had already been finished, so he had to rip up all of his carpets and throw out other water-damaged belongings. We sent one of our Design Specialists to his home to provide him with a free estimate and design the right solution for his challenges. He was pleased with the thorough solution we developed, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor, a SuperSump sump pump, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier system. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, where it is then pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. The CleanSpace vapor barrier brightens the basement while protecting it from moisture and potential mold growth. Eric was pleased with the installation and he is glad he chose to protect his most valuable investment by having it waterproofed. 

Cynthia L. of Dennison, MN had water leaking in her basement and wanted it taken care of as soon as possible. After doing some research, she called American Waterworks to schedule a Free Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, went to her home and inspected the problem. After a very detailed and thorough diagnosis, Cynthia was comfortable with the proposal, so she went ahead with the project.

To begin the installation, our foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew broke out the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to form a waterway. Next, they broke out the concrete down the middle of the basement floor to form a feed line to the other end of the basement. On the other end, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System in connection with the feed line. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump is the best sump pump we provide for customers and it has three levels of water protection.

Next, Jose and his crew installed 112 feet of CleanSpace around the perimeter of the basement wall. The purpose of CleanSpace is to protect the wall and basement from any mold, mildew or humidity. Lastly, our production team installed 112 feet of our WaterGuard in the trench. Our WaterGuard serves as an underground draining system, prevents water clogs, and catches any contaminated water from underneath the CleanSpace. To complete the installation, our team covered all the open WaterGuard and feed line gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Cynthia was extremely happy and blessed we were able to help her when she needed it most!

Kenneth G. of Welch, MN had uneven concrete on the side of his house, making him think about the possible safety concerns of tripping and falling. After doing some research on HomeAdvisor, he came across American Waterworks and our concrete repairs. He called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Kevin McWithey. Kevin went to his home to diagnose the problem and come up with a solution. Kenneth was confident in Kevin's proposal, so he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jared Wroblewski, and his production team injected 116 pounds of our PolyLevel underneath the concrete to raise and stabilize the surface. Our PolyLevel is a unique, dense foam that cures and adjusts concrete quickly, and homeowners can use their concrete within 15 minutes of injection. Kenneth was amazed by the work and had a great experience from start to finish! 

Wet basements can develop moisture and mold problems. Along with that, concrete floors and walls can absorb moisture from the soil and release it into the basement air. Don P. of Frontenac, MN was having similar problems like this in his basement. He saw one of our work vehicles driving around his hometown, so he called our office and got some information about our dehumidifying systems. He was confident in our SaniDry XP Upright Dehumidifier, so our Service Technician, Ben McKee, went to his home to drop off and install it. 

Our SaniDry is an ideal choice for problems like these because it can remove up to 109 liters of water in one day and it can dry up to 2,500 square feet in an 8-foot-tall basement. It comes with a strong blowing motor that mixes air throughout the space and dries out the entire basement. It can be stored in the corner of a basement or closet so it does not get in the way. Don was thankful he chose to invest in our SaniDry XP Dehumidifier! 

At American Waterworks, we do not only professionalize in dehumidifying basements. We also perform work in basement waterproofing, egress windows, foundation repair, crawl space repair/encapsulation, radon testing/mitigation, and concrete repair/lifting.

Our crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is made to prevent water clogs and serve as an underground drain. Next, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump that we provide for homeowners because of its triple protection, ability to solve all three water problems in one unit, and its battery backup. To finish the installation, our crew filled the open gaps with rock and added a final layer of concrete over them, ensuring the basement was much neater and cleaner than when they first found it.

A homeowner in Pine Island, MN, was discouraged after seeing signs of water damage in their basement. Knowing this was a bigger project, the crew knew they needed an expert opinion. In the past, the homeowner had a FREE estimate with us but did not go ahead with the project. They decided to work with us again, so they called our Appointment Center to sign up for another FREE estimate. After the estimate details were finalized, Rick, one of our Design Specialists, was sent to the home to provide the homeowner with some answers. Once Rick arrived, he began inspecting the water damage throughout the basement. Following his estimate, Rick recommended updating all their waterproofing products. The homeowner agreed with Ricks's recommendations, and then production preparations began. Our Foreman, Lane, and his crew were assigned to complete the project. When they arrived at the home, Lane 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. After all the products were properly installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was put at ease knowing their basement was no longer a flooding risk.

A homeowner in Zumbrota, MN, heard an odd noise coming from their basement. After doing some investigating, the homeowner discovered that the sound was coming from their sump pump. Worried that their sump pump was going to give out, the homeowner searched for a sump pump expert. After hearing we offer an excellent sump pump lineup, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent Chuck, one of our Design Specialists, to investigate the sump pump issues. When Chuk arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowner and they directed him to the sump pump. Chuck knew that the sump pump needed to be replaced. After telling the homeowner of his findings, Chuck recommended replacing the sump pump. The homeowners agreed and the plans were sent to our Foreman, Luis, and his crew. Once they were ready, Luis and his crew traveled to the home to install the TripleSafe sump pump. When they arrived, Luis and his crew removed the old sump pump. Next, the TripleSafe was put into the correct place. The TripleSafe is the world's most reliable pumping system that keeps your basement dry with triple the protection of a normal pump. After installing the TripleSafe pump, the crew attached an IceGuard to the discharge line. The IceGuard allows water to escape if the discharge line freezes or becomes blocked. Finally, the crew installed a buried discharge line that connects to the interior sump pump. Once the IceGuard was installed, Luis and the crew cleaned up their materials and left. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing they had a high-quality sump pump. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

In Red Wing, MN a homeowner was worried about his front walkway area. The concrete slabs had become increasingly uneven over the years and resulted in a large gap that created a tripping hazard. Not wanting the problem to continue worsening, he decided to look into what could be done with a concrete repair company. He came across our American Waterworks website and was impressed with the number of positive five-star reviews from past customers. He decided to schedule a FREE estimate with us where he could talk through the process with an expert. When one of our Design Specialists, Kyle Peters, arrived at the home, he made sure to answer all of the homeowner's questions and inform him of the best way to move forward. The homeowner was happy to hear something could be done and he scheduled the recommended installations. One of our Foremen, Troy Johnson, and his crew made a visit to the site where they carefully prepped the area and started the process by drilling small pencil-sized holes throughout the concrete surface. Next, they inserted ports through the holes to reach the empty space below the concrete and injected our PolyLevel product, a structural-grade polymer, to level the concrete slabs. Finally, once the concrete was lifted to the original height, the crew filled the holes and other empty joints with NexusPro sealant. They sprinkled a layer of native sand on top of the sealant to create a more visually pleasing look to the walkway and finish the project. The homeowner was so happy to not have to worry about the trip hazard anymore and have his walkway leveled and smooth again.

A homeowner from Pine Island, MN, was beginning to notice a large crack running lengthwise along the foundation wall in his basement. He was concerned about what the crack could mean for the rest of the home and didn't want water to enter through the cracks. He decided to begin the search for a foundation repair company in Minnesota that could help fix the issue. Once he came across our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

When Darin arrived at the home, he got right to work completing his inspection of the foundation. Once he concluded, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Darin explained that foundation failure can occur for a few different reasons, and while it seems like a daunting task to address, the sooner a solution is settled on, the better off the foundation will be. He went on to say that we could fix this crack with the use of our GeoLock wall anchors. Our GeoLock wall anchors are made of galvanized steel and work to permanently stabilize foundation walls by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation of the home. Darin finished by saying that after the installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten foundation walls as the house settles more over the years. The homeowner loved the idea of having lasting support, and decided to schedule the project for a month later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, and his team began the process by verifying the measurement that Darin had left for them. Next, they dug holes beyond the wall of the foundation, most likely in the yard, to place one end of the anchor. Next, they drove a steel beam through the problem wall to the anchor on the outside. Finally, they attached the interior plate and tightened each anchor, and backfilled the holes in the yard with fresh soil. In the end, our team installed 7 of our GeoLock anchors around the basement. Now our customer can enjoy his space without worries that his foundation is compromised!
