TJU Construction was working on repairing a home in Minnetonka, MN to put on the market. While restoring the home, they realized they needed to have the basement waterproofed because water was seeping in and was causing damage to the home. They knew the home would be very hard to sell with a basement in that condition, so they contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate.

The waterproofing process took two days to complete, but our system has a lifetime guarantee and is transferable to anyone who purchases the home. That basement will always be protected and whoever lives there will have peace of mind that they have a top of the line waterproofing system keeping their home dry.

He was interested in meeting with an expert to hear a detailed explanation of the process and he scheduled an appointment. We sent over Design Specialist, Mike Dexter, to take a look and discuss things over with the homeowner. After agreeing to a plan that would restore his driveway back, Mike sent the information to one of our Formen, Ryan Trogstad, and his crew. When the crew arrived at the site weeks later to carry out the installations, they first began with PolyLevel. They started by drilling small holes throughout the driveway and inserting ports connecting to below the concrete surface. The polyurethane foam was then filled through the ports to fill voids and lift the sinking concrete slabs. The joints and large cracks in addition to the drilled holes were then sealed with NexusPro sealant, a durable and long-lasting solution for damaged concrete. Next, a sprinkle of native sand was applied on top to add a pleasing finish to the sealant. Finally, the crew finished off the job by applying a thin layer of SealantPro on top of the entire driveway to prevent future cracking, discoloration, and flaking. The homeowner was overjoyed to have these issues fixed and thankful for the work our crew did on his driveway.

A homeowner in Maple Grove, MN was enjoying his front yard area during a warm day when he realized just how large the gap in his front stoop had gotten. He decided to reach out to American Waterworks for a FREE no-obligation estimate, as he had heard many great things about our services from a neighbor. When we sent over one of our Design Specialists, Kyle Peters, to the site, Kyle informed the homeowner that the reason the stoop had a large gap was actually due to the sunken sidewalk. The homeowner was surprised by this, and Kyle assured him that this still was a fixable problem. Kyle drew up the plans for the installations and after they were approved, preparations for the actual project began. Our Foreman, Domanik Adams, and his crew members arrived at the home with the needed products and started the process. They began by drilling small holes throughout the sidewalk slabs and inserted ports through them to reach the empty space below. They carefully performed the lift by filling the ports with our PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane formula to stabilize and lift the sinking concrete. Next, they used NexusPro, a durable and flexible sealant to fill in the holes and the now smaller gap below the stoop.

A homeowner in Champlin, MN, knew it was time to have their patio inspected. Unsure of what could have caused this issue, the homeowner wanted to find answers. The homeowner had a friend who had similar issues, so they asked them for any recommendations. Their friend praised working with us, American Waterworks, and talked about our impressive products and crews. Convinced enough to work with us, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate on our website.

A homeowner from Plymouth, MN, received a postcard in the mail from American Waterworks, which highlighted the importance of having your home tested for dangerous radon gas. She was interested to know more about radon so she decided to have her home tested, as she felt it was better to be safe than sorry. When she called in, she scheduled her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, a Design Specialist from our radon and concrete division headed out to the home. 

On the day of the inspection, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, headed out to the home. He got right to work inspecting each entry point he felt radon would enter through, as well as getting a better look at the home as a whole to find the best place to install a mitigation system, should it be needed.

Once Kyle finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to go over his findings. In anticipation of Kyle's arrival, the homeowner had already had their home tested, and the results returned at 10.9 pCi/L. Kyle began by answering some questions the homeowner had. He explained that radon is a naturally occurring gas that comes from the breakdown of soil around the foundation of a home. As the soil decays and the gas is released, it enters your home through cracks or small porous holes. Radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless and, therefore, can go unnoticed in a home. The only reliable way to ensure your home is protected is to have it tested and mitigated if a professional advises you to. Kyle then said that the homeowner had radon rates of 10.9 pCi/L which is way higher than he'd like to see. The Minnesota Dept. of Health recommends taking action to combat radon at any levels that return over 4 pCi/L.  Kyle recommended a radon mitigation system to combat the high levels in the home. A typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by a professional radon mitigation specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health safety agencies. The homeowner liked the sound of Kyle's plan, and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our radon production team, led by their Foreman, Dakota, was able to install the radon mitigation system without any complications. Now, our customer can breathe easier knowing that her interior air is clean!

A homeowner from Rogers, MN, was beginning the process of selling her house. Before she could confidently put her home on the market, she knew there were several things that needed to be fixed to ensure she received the most value for her home. One of the larger projects was figuring out how to address her sunken concrete walkway in front of her home. She began to look for concrete repair in Minnesota and eventually found our website. She was impressed with our before and after concrete repair photos and decided to schedule her FREE inspection. 

A few short weeks later, Dave S, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. After Dave completed his thorough inspection, he was ready to make his recommendation to the homeowner. Dave informed the homeowner that concrete can sink for a variety of reasons and that American Waterworks could address the issue using our PolyLevel injection method. Dave explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete surfaces. It fills voids left by soil erosion while simultaneously lifting the concrete back to its desired location. Dave went on to say that he wanted to follow up the PolyLevel with two more of our products to seal and protect the lift. First, Dave recommended our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant is applied to cracks and joints in the newly lifted concrete. It's designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and works to prevent water from getting below the slab. Finally, Dave recommended our SealantPro. Unlike concrete sealers available at big-box stores, SealantPro permanently protects concrete with just one application and extends its life by 3-5 times. SealantPro is a state-of-the-art material that bonds with concrete on a molecular level, permanently protecting it from water, dirt, and other contaminants in a single coat. Once applied, SealantPro dries in minutes and is fully cured in just 6 hours, so you can use your concrete the same day. It is simple, fast, economical, and extremely effective. The homeowner liked the sound of protecting her newly lifted concrete and decided to schedule the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Sam, and his team arrived bright and early and wasted no time getting to work. They began by applying our SealantPro to the surface. Because this product requires time to cure to be effective, our team had to return a few days later to install the rest. On the day of the lift, Sam began by verifying the measurements Dave had left for them. Next, they strategically drilled dime-sized holes into the sunken concrete. Next, they inserted the PolyLevel through ports and made sure to closely monitor the lifting process to ensure no over-correction was made. Finally, they sealed the cracks and joints in the concrete with NexusPro. Now, our customer can move on to other projects and confidently sell her home!  

A Minneapolis, MN,  homeowner noticed that each time he went down to his basement, he was greeted with a damp, humid feeling. He had no idea who to turn to for Minneapolis basement waterproofing, so he took to the internet. Quickly, he found our website and recalled meeting one of our Design Specialists at the home and garden show in Minneapolis. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, a member of our Design Specialist team, Derek V, was headed out to the home. 

When Derek arrived, he got right to work evaluating the basement. He met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations when he finished his inspection. Derek explained that he wanted to use two of our products to address the damp basement. First, Derek recommended our WaterGuard. This unique french drain gets installed below the floor slab but atop the foundation's footing. It works to collect water coming up through holes or cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Because the basement lacked a means of disposal, Derek recommended our SuperSump sump pump. This pump is an effective, yet economical solution to basement water intrusion. The SuperSump boasts a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner agreed with Derek's recommendations and scheduled the job for several months later. 

The day of the project eventually rolled around. Our team, led by their Foreman, Francisco E, successfully installed 36ft of WaterGuard, and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now our customer can rest easy knowing that his damp basement worries are in the past!

A homeowner from Mounds, MN, was in the initial stages of putting his home up for sale. Before the house could be listed, he had a list of updates that had to be made to ensure that the home would be sold for its true value. One of the first jobs was correcting the homes driveway that had been cracking and sinking for a few years. The homeowner took to the internet to search for cracked concrete repair in Minnesota and quickly found our website. He perused through our before and after pictures and was impressed with our work. He scheduled his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nate B, headed out to the home. 

Nate got right to work assessing the concrete. When he was finished, he met with the homeowner and informed him that the concrete could be remedied with the help of our PolyLevel injection. He explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands as it's injected beneath sunken concrete slabs. As the foam expands, it slowly fills voids left by soil erosion, lifting the sunken slab back to its desired location in the process. Nate went on to say that he recommended safeguarding the lift with our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets installed to the cracks and joints in the concrete and serves as a barrier as it's specially formulated to stand up against harsh weather conditions. The homeowner liked the sound of Nate's plan and decided to schedule the project for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dylon V, got started by verifying the measurements in the areas planned to be lifted. Next, his Co-Foreman drilled holes into the sunken concrete. Then, they inserted the PolyLevel through the holes, closely monitoring the lift to ensure the slab returned to the proper position. When they finished the lift, they began sealing off the joints. When the job had been completed, our customer was thrilled to know that his driveway was restored and his home was one step closer to being sold! 

A homeowner from Maple Grove, MN, was facing a serious issue with their basement. Each time it rained in their area, the homeowners were left with water pooling on their basement floor. He was tired of cleaning up after each storm and was constantly worried about what the water intrusion could do to his home. He began to look for a company offering basement waterproofing in MN. When he found our website, he was quickly impressed by the previous work we had done in his area. He decided to claim his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Adam V, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

When Adam arrived at the home, he got right to work assessing the basement of the home. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that we could address the issue with the help of two of our products. First, Adam recommended our CleanSpace wall system. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly on the unfinished walls of a basement. It works to direct water entering through the wall downward and into a perimeter drain. Adam noticed that the basement lacked a source of drainage and recommended our WaterGuard drain. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor, but atop the footing of the foundation to keep the drain out of the 'mud zone'; an area where similar drains tend to clog. Adam explained that the WaterGuard has two functions. First, it collects water entering down from the CleanSpace and water coming up from the floor. Second, it gives this excess water a channel to flow freely to the sump pump in the basement. The homeowner liked the idea of our products complimenting one another and signed on the spot. 

Sometime later, the project was underway. On the day of the project our team, led by their Foreman, Diego B, was able to successfully install 12ft of our CleanSpace and another 6 ft of WaterGuard. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that rain water will have no impact on her basement!
