Crawl Space Repair Experts and Basement Waterproofing Experts Serving the Mayville Area

A homeowner in Mayville, ND, discovered their basement had flooded. Concerned this was a sign of major damage, the homeowner knew they needed to find a professional to provide them with a solution. Uncertain who to work with, the homeowner decided to go to Google and look into "flooded basement repair near me". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our services. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we would provide the best solution. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, James. A few days later, James promptly arrived at the home and began his thorough inspection of the basement. During his inspection, James confirmed the basement was suffering from water intrusion. Additionally, James discovered the walls were suffering from wall damage. To stop these issues from progressing, James recommended installing several waterproofing and foundation repair products throughout the basement. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the proposal. Next, James sent the proposal to our Logisitcs team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team finalized the plans, then the project was scheduled for the following weeks. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Roel, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Roel and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. 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. Once the WaterGuard is in place, the crew could shift their focus to removing the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. The crew installed a feedline across the floor to connect the SuperSump+ to the new WaterGuard. Next, the crew went ahead and installed seven GeoLock Wall Anchors along the north wall. The crew installs the GeoLocks by digging a section of the ground to place the first GeoLock anchor. Once the GeoLock is in place, another anchor is attached to the interior wall. Both GeoLocks are connected by a small, steel pole directly through the ground. Once the GeoLocks are secured, the soil is put back on top of the ground. Along with the GeoLock installation, the homeowner asked that the tightening kit be included as well. This will allow the homeowner to straighten their walls over time. Finally, the crew wrapped up by installing CleanSpace on the unfinished basement walls. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that prevents humidity and mold growth. The crew installs CleanSpace by mechanically attaching it to the basement walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew.

Rhonda from Mayville, ND was experiencing excess moisture in her basement. This resulted in a damp feeling, a must smell, and mold throughout the space. She was afraid that if she left the issue unresolved, she would run the risk of the problem worsening and doing more damage that would be much more expensive to cost down the road. She wanted to know what could be done so she called our office. When she spoke with us we set her up with our FREE estimate, entitling her to a no-obligation 3-hour inspection by one of our Design Specialists. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ian, made his way out to her property to see what could be done to fix the issue. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his professional recommendations as to how we could help address the issue. Richie made one recommendation, and that was to use our Aprilaire Dehumidifier. Richie explained that our Aprilaire is one of the most energy-efficient dehumidifiers on the market, can create healthy air, and reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days' time when set to 50% relative humidity. Rhonda agreed with Richie's recommendations and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Justice, installed the Aprilaire with no-hassle and provided Rhonda with some filters to keep her basement dry for a long time. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know her damp basement was a worry of the past!
