Experienced Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company in Maple Grove, Minnesota

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! 

A homeowner in Maple Grove, MN was downstairs in her basement and became worried when she noticed some water damage to the floors of one of the rooms. She knew water coming into the basement wasn't a good sign, but also wasn't sure what should be done to fix the issue. Online she looked up "basement repair contractors" in hopes of finding a service in the area that could inform her on the subject and fix the problem. Out of all of the Minnesota basement waterproofing companies, the American Waterworks name stood out to her. After she looked through our website more and saw how many positive reviews we had from past customers, she knew we were the right choice and signed up for a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Derek Vickstrom, went to the home to inspect the basement and see what could be done to help the space. He determined that the water damage was likely from water leaking through small cracks in the concrete floors and that our WaterGuard basement drains were the perfect solution to stop it. The homeowner was eager to move forward with the project and she agreed to the plans. On the project day, our Foreman, Diego Barrientos, and his crew went to the site and began by jackhammering channels along the perimeter of the basement. They filled the channels partly with drainage stone and placed the WaterGuard drains and more clean stone on top. Finally, they poured and smoothed some concrete on top for protection and to keep out dirt and debris from entering the drains. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and thanked our crew for their hard work.

A homeowner in Maple Grove, MN, grew concerned after finding some cracks and gaps in their foundation walls. Wanting to prevent any further damage, the homeowner decided to have an expert inspect their foundation walls. After going through all the foundation repair companies in their area, the homeowners decided that American Waterworks was the best option for them. Once they decided, the homeowner visited our main website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were lined up, the homeowner prepared for our Design Specialist, Nick, to arrive. Once Nick arrived, he began the full examination of the foundation walls. After he examined the status of the walls, Nick warned the homeowners that the wall was beginning to bow inwards. To stop the wall from bowing further, Nick suggested that the homeowners permanently stabilize their walls with CarbonArmor strips, a state-of-the-art solution that is used to fix cracked and bowing foundation walls. To start the installation, the crew cleans the sections where the CarbonArmor will be placed. Once the walls are cleaned, the crew masks off each carbon fiber strip location and saturates the masonry with epoxy. Then, the CarbonArmor is set into place and becomes a part of the wall structure. Additionally, the CarbonArmor can be pained over and become hidden from plain sight. The crew installed four CarbonArmor strips along the south foundation wall. Once the crew put all the strips into place, they cleaned up the site and left the home. The homeowners were impressed with the job completed by the crew.
