Your Local Lake Elmo, MN Crawl Space & Wet Basement Repair Experts

A homeowner in Lake Elmo, MN, began noticing an alarming sound in their home. Sick of hearing the noise, the homeowner searched for the source of the sound. Eventually, the homeowner found the noise was coming from the sump pump in their basement. Nervous that this could be a larger issue, the homeowner looked for a professional to inspect the status of their sump pump. After hearing many referrals, the homeowners decided to look into our company. Knowing we would be the best fit, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate on our website. After finalizing the details, we sent Ryan, one of our Design Specialists, to investigate the sump pump. Ryan arrived at the home and completed a detailed inspection of the sump pump and the basement. Following his inspection, Ryan confirmed that the sump pump did need to be replaced. Ryan recommended that the homeowners install one of our reliable, high-quality sump pumps. The homeowners agreed with Ryan's suggestions and the installation preparations began. Our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the sump pump installation. The homeowners determined they wanted the TripleSafe sump pump installed. Our TripleSafe sump pump has three levels of protection, a cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump, and a second Zoeller 1/2 hp pump set a bit higher in case the first one fails. In case of power outages, our UltraSump battery backup, set at the highest level, will pump 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery. To begin the project, the crew removes the old sump pump. Then, the TripleSafe is put into place and hooked into the water system. Next, the crew installed a buried discharge line outside the home. Finally, the crew cleans up their materials and leaves the home as nice as they arrived. The homeowner was grateful to know they have the best sump pump in their home.

Our customer, Amy, from Lake Elmo, MN, reached out to us when she had enough of cracks forming on her garage concrete slab floor. Amy was afraid that if she didn't fix the issue soon, the cracks would get worse and create a much larger problem down the road. When Amy called in, we were able to set her up with our FREE estimate. A Design Specialist from our Concrete and Radon division was able to go out to the property and do a thorough inspection to see what we could do to help Amy. When he had finished, he recommended that Amy invest in our lifting and leveling option for her concrete. He suggested she do so fairly soon before the issue had a chance to get any worse. Amy agreed and our Foreman, Troy, and his crew were on the scene shortly after. The crew began the process by strategically drilling holes into the concrete slab that they then filled with our PolyLevel injection, an expanding polyurethane foam that fills the gaps caused by soil erosion to raise and stabilize concrete surfaces. The crew kept a close eye on the slab as the foam expanded, reaching the appropriate height. After the PolyLevel stage was finished, Troy and his crew finished the job by sealing any remaining holes or joints with our NexusPro solution, a silicone-based sealant specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions. 

When the job was complete, Amy was happy with the work we had done and was relieved to know that her cracked concrete issues were worries of the past. 

A church in Lake Elmo, MN was suffering from water leaking up through the floor in their basement. Each time they experienced a heavy rain, they had to deal with a wet basement and they were becoming more and more concerned about the health implications that can come from having a wet basement. They contacted the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists went onsite to inspect the situation and they were able to develop a thorough plan to fully waterproof the basement. They were pleased with the proposal we presented to them, so they scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed our WaterGuard drainage system along the perimeter of the basement floor and a TripleSafe sump pump- which is our most reliable sump pump. A SaniDry dehumidifier was also placed in the basement to control the humidity in that space. Water is now guided through the drainage system, to the sump pump and from there, the water is discharged from the home. The church is pleased that they have had a dry and healthier basement since the installation of our waterproofing system.
