Your Dependable Hutchinson, MN Foundation Crack Repair & Radon Mitigation

A homeowner in Hutchinson, MN became alarmed when he went down to his basement space and found some small puddles of water on the floor. He was tired of dealing with this problem, so he decided to take action and find a waterproofing service near him that would be able to help out. Online he found the American Waterworks company website and quickly became interested in our FREE no-obligation estimates. He signed up for his own and met with one of our Design Specialists, Kevin Beseman. Kevin explained that the water was most likely entering the basement through small cracks in the concrete floors and that our waterproofing products were the perfect way to tackle the problem. The homeowner trusted Kevin's knowledge and wanted to move forward with the plans, so he agreed to the project. When the installation day came, our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his crew went to the site and began the project by jackhammering channels along the perimeter of the basement. Then, they partly filled the channels with drainage stone, the WaterGuard drain system, and more clean stone. They also connected a feed line from the drains to the new SuperSump Plus pump that was installed for the water to safely travel from. Next, the crew fastened CleanSpace vapor barrier to the walls to direct water leaking from the walls to the drains below and to brighten up the room. Finally, the crew poured and smoothed a layer of concrete over the drains and around the pump for a clean and pleasing look to the space. The homeowner was very happy with the results and thanked our crew for their hard work.

A homeowner in Hutchinson, MN, saw it was time to sign up for their annual maintenance appointment. The homeowner decided to call our Appointment Center and sign up for their annual maintenance. Once the annual maintenance details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Jack, one of our Service Technicians. After Jack arrived, he began his inspection of the basement and sump pump. Jack found that the sump pump needed to be replaced, so he suggested that they install the TripleSafe sump pump. Knowing they wanted a long-lasting sump pump, they agreed with Jack's suggestions. Once approval was received, our Foreman, Gabriel, and his crew traveled to the home to start the project. First, the crew needed to remove 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 all the required products were installed, the crew cleaned up their material and left. The homeowner was put at ease knowing they have the best quality sump pump in their home. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!

Shortly after he arrived, Eric began his inspection of the wall and found it was failing due to hydrostatic pressure. To prevent further damage, Eric recommended that the wall be permanently stabilized. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowners agreed, and the plans were sent to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew arrived at the home and began the GeoLock, our wall anchoring system, installation. First, the crew excavates a small amount of soil out of the ground to place the outside GeoLock anchor. Then, the crew attached the interior GeoLock anchor to the foundation wall. To connect the two anchors, the crew runs a small, steel pole through the soil. Additionally, the crew included the tightening kit, so the wall can be straightened over time. After installing eight GeoLocks on the west wall, the crew cleaned up their job site and left the home. The homeowners were impressed with the high quality of work completed by the crew.

Wayne F. in Hutchinson started to notice a bump each time he drove in and out of his garage. He realized that his driveway had started to sink where it meets the garage. He wanted to find an affordable way to fix this, so he started to research concrete repair contractors. He came across American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our PolyLevel foam concrete repair solution.

He set an appointment to meet with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, to receive a free estimate. Shane assured him that our PolyLevel option is faster and more affordable than traditional concrete repair, so Wayne set a date to have the PolyLevel injected.

Our PolyLevel expert drilled penny-sized holes into the concrete slabs to inject the foam and raise the concrete. The process was non-invasive and only took a couple of hours. Wayne was able to see the transformation almost right away because the PolyLevel foam only takes 30 minutes to cure. Wayne is glad he chose American Waterworks to raise his driveway.
