Mower County, MN Trusted Foundation Wall Repair & Sump Pump Installation Company

Cathy G. in Grand Meadow, MN was experiencing water seeping into her basement every time it rained. She noticed that some of the water was also coming through her basement window. She was referred to American Waterworks by a friend, so she contacted us, and we sent out a Design Specialist to do a free onsite estimate. 

Our Design Specialist found that her basement needed a full perimeter of WaterGuard since the water was entering her basement at numerous points. He also recommended that we install a new RockWell egress window to ensure that her window is properly sealed. She chose to have her basement fully waterproofed and the have the egress window installed to ensure she would be protected from any water seeping in. The combination of these waterproofing products ensured that Cathy's basement would remain dry.

Patricia G. in Racine, MN learned about the dangers of radon gas and she had not yet had her home tested. She gave us a call to set up a test kit, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home to start the test. 48 hours later our Design Specialist went back to her home to read the results. The test results stated that the average radon level in her home over 48 hours was 23 pCi/L and the EPA recommends homeowners take action if they reach a level of 4 pCi/L. With such a high level of radon in her home, she wanted to have a mitigation system installed as soon as possible, so we scheduled and appointment right away.

Our production team drilled a hole in the cement in her garage to create a suction point for the radon. Then, they inserted a PVC pipe that went up through the attic and out the roof. The gas is sucked up the PVC pipe and a fan at the top of the pipe ensures that the radon is pushed out and away from the home. After each radon mitigation system, we leave the homeowner with another test to ensure the system is doing its job. Patricia tested her home again after the installation and her results came back at .6 pCi/L which is a great improvement! Patricia is very glad she chose to protect her health by having our radon mitigation system installed.

Roger D. in Adams, MN had a driveway that sunk 2-3 below the concrete garage floor. He was frustrated with the trip hazard it created, and the large bump they experienced every time they drove in and out of their garage. He saw a commercial for American Waterworks on the television and saw that we offer concrete repair. He gave us a call to receive a free estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his concrete and provide him with a solution. Roger was pleased with the design we presented him with, so he scheduled a date for the concrete repair.

One of our PolyLevel experts, Jared Wroblewski, drilled small holes into the concrete slabs where they needed to be raised. Then, he injection our PolyLevel foam into the holes until the concrete was raised to be level with the garage floor. Once the concrete was level, he filled back the holes he drilled with concrete and filled the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. He also did this process with Roger’s sidewalk. Roger was very pleased with the final outcome and he will now be able to enjoy beautiful, level concrete.

Ann H. in Lyle, MN was suffering from a wet basement. She started looking for a local waterproofing company and she found American Waterworks’ website. After reading about our waterproofing services, she contacted us to receive a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. Mac worked closely with Ann to design a personalized plan that was the best fit for her and her home. She was pleased with the proposal that Mac presented to her, so she set a date to have our waterproofing system installed.

Our production team started the process by removing the carpet and the concrete for the WaterGuard drainage system and sump pump to be installed. The WaterGuard was laid on the perimeter of her basement and the sump pump was installed in the corner. The drainage system now properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line to be expelled from the home. Ann now has peace of mind that her basement will be a dry, clean space for years to come. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Ann is confident that she chose the right solution to protect her basement.

Rhonda B. in Le Roy, MN learned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and it kills over 20,000 people each year. She realized she had not yet had her home tested for radon, so she called American Waterworks to have a test installed. We set up a test for her and returned two days later to read the results. We found that her home had very high levels of radon, so she immediately wanted to have a mitigation system installed. 

Our crew drilled a hole through the concrete of her basement floor and inserted a PVC pipe which creates a suction point for the radon. Then, they ran the PVC pipe up through the home and out through the roof. There is a fan installed near the top of the PVC pipe to ensure that the radon gas is pushed out of the home. Rhonda is happy that she was able to have the system installed so quickly after receiving the results. She is thankful that her health is no longer at risk from high levels of radon.

John H. in Brownsdale, MN had multiple cracked and bowing walls in his basement.

We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Girgen, to his home to inspect the walls and design the right solution specific to John’s needs. John appreciated the time that Jeremy took to address his questions and concerns.

A homeowner in Austin, MN, knew their foundation needed to be inspected by a professional. Instead of pushing off the project, the homeowner wanted to get ahead of the problem. Knowing American Waterworks has done projects in the past in their area, the homeowner did some investigating into the services we provide. After seeing the wonderful services we provide, the homeowner was convinced that we should do their project. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and prepared for the arrival of Darin, one of our Design Specialists. Darin arrived at the home to begin the estimate appointment. Following his estimate, Darin found that the foundation was settling and needed to be stabilized. Darin suggested that the entire perimeter of the foundation be stabilized using GeoLocks. The homeowners agreed and the production commenced. Our Foreman, Crescencio, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. The crew began by making sure the basement was cleared for production. Then, the crew began the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks is our innovative wall system that anchors your foundation wall to untouched soil beyond your foundation. To start, the crew excavates a small amount of soil out of the ground to place the first 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. Once the crew completed the installation, they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowners were grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew.

In the past, the homeowner had worked with us and they knew the quality of work we complete. Soon after, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Romeo, to perform the estimate on the home. After Romeo arrived, he inspected the sump pump and confirmed it was on its last leg. Romeo suggested replacing the old sump pump with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. The homeowner agreed with Romeo's suggestions and the production preparations began.

An office manager at a local Dentist's office in Austin, MN became concerned after hearing about a customer tripping on the uneven sidewalk on their way to an appointment. Knowing that this problem could lead to a similar situation for future customers, she brought it up to the owner's attention and insisted on finding a solution right away.

Once they met with Design Specialist, Kevin Beseman, it was clear to them that our products and services would take care of their needs. He explained that installing two of our products, PolyLevel and NexusPro would be the best solution to taking care of this problem. He explained that the PolyLevel works to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. In addition to this, using NexusPro would help prevent moisture from seeping into the soil beneath and smooth out the cracks in the concrete. After agreeing to the plan, one of our Foreman, Jordan Simonson, and his crew visited the site to begin work. They started by prepping the area and strategically drilling holes throughout the damaged area. Next, they inserted the PolyLevel, and closely monitored the lifting and leveling process to ensure that no over or under corrections were made.

A homeowner in Brownsdales, MN, grew alarmed after discovering multiple puddles of water near the edges of their foundation. Concerned by this discovery, the homeowner wanted answers. After looking at "concrete repair mn", one of the closest companies to them was us, American Waterworks. After looking through our before and after concrete repair photos, the homeowner knew we were the best choice. After signing up for their FREE estimate, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Brad, one of our Design Specialists. Brad arrived at the home, greeted the homeowner, and started his evaluation. During his evaluation, Brad found that the sidewalk and driveway all required lifting. The largest problem area was the concrete near the exterior foundation. Brad presented a plan of action for the homeowner and they reached a mutual solution. Once the solution was made, the plans were sent to our office and passed onto Domanik, our Foreman. Domanik and his crew traveled to the home to start the project. First, the crew inserted the PolyLevel underneath the sinking concrete. The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of the concrete. The crew started by strategically drilling small holes throughout the slab. Then, the crew inserts ports into those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew shifted their focus to filling the cracks and replacing the joints. The crew utilized NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. After the project was complete, the crew cleaned up their materials and put the lawn back together. The homeowner was thankful for the work done by the crew and glad water was no longer forming near their home. If you are suffering from a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!  

A leader at a Bank in Dexter, MN was frustrated with the concrete spaces outside of the building. The joints in between the concrete slabs were unsightly and had continued to grow over the years.

A couple from Rose Creek, MN, had recently learned about radon gas and the dangers it poses to a household. Curious about what potential radon levels they had, they decided to conduct two at-home tests. The first came back at 18.1 pCi/L and the other, at 19.3 pCi/L. They knew that this was well above the recommended action level, which is 4pCi/L. They didn't know much about the process of installing a mitigation system, so they began their search for a MN radon mitigation company. After finding our website online, they decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo, made a stop at the home.

Once Romeo finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss the next steps. Romeo stated that he wanted to address the high radon levels with our mitigation system. He explained that 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. The homeowners liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job as soon as possible. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota, and were able to install the mitigation system with no issues. Now, our customers can feel confident in the clean air they breathe!
