Our foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production crew started the Push Pier Foundation System installation by excavating all the soil around the foundation, allowing enough room for the guys to begin and complete the installation. Then, they installed a strong steel bracket underneath the foundation. Next, the piers were pushed through the bracket until it hit supportive soil. The weight of the home was carefully shifted onto the piers which stabilized and supported the home. Push piers are the best foundation repair system when soil circumstances are poor, providing a long-term solution for any settlement problems. After the push pier installation was complete, Hugo and his crew replaced the soil.

Joseph and Angela J. of Reading, MN wanted to get a sump pump installed in their basement, so they contacted American Waterworks after hearing about us through word of mouth.

A homeowner in Worthington, MN, was concerned after discovering water had snuck into their basement. Overwhelmed by worry, the homeowner wanted to find an expert to provide them with an efficient solution. After a quick online investigation, the homeowner came across the highly-rated American Waterworks. The homeowner trusted our award-winning waterproofing products, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. As soon as the estimate details were finalized, Eric, one of our Design Specialists, was sent to the home to provide the homeowner with some answers. Once Eric arrived, he greeted the homeowner and looked at their concerning wall. Eric looked at the foundation well and recommended having the walls permanently stabilized. The homeowner agreed with Eric's recommendations, so he sent the plans back to the production team. Our Foreman, Jeremiah, and his crew were assigned to complete the project. When they arrived at the home, Jeremiah and his crew began by installing the WaterGuard around the entire basement. 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. After the WaterGuard was installed, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. To connect the SuperSump+ to the WaterGuard, the crew installed a feedline across the foundation floor. The crew installed the IceGuard, an anti-freeze fitting, on the outside discharge line. After all the products were properly installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was put at ease knowing their basement was no longer a flooding risk.

A homeowner in Worthington, MN, frantically searched for a waterproofing solution after discovering water in their basement. Unsure of who to work with, the homeowner looked for the best waterproofing company near them. After comparing multiple companies, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and awaited the arrival of Ryan, one of our Design Specialists. Ryan arrived at the home and began looking into the homeowner's concerns. Once he completed his inspection, Ryan recommended installing the WaterGuard, SuperSump+, and Aprilaire. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's suggestions and production commenced. After the plans were finalized, our Foreman, Jeremiah and his crew were assigned to complete the project. They drove to the home and started by installing the WaterGuard on the south and east wall. The WaterGuard system is our patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. The WaterGuard is mainly used as a drain system due to its resistance to water clogs, easy access ports, and ability to collect leaking water. The crew dug channels around the perimeter of the basement and then placed the WaterGuard in those channels. Once in place, the WaterGuard is covered with rocks and cement. Next, the crew installed the SuperSump + Pump System. This sump pump is designed to keep basements dry and healthy for long periods, even during heavy water intrusion. Following the SuperSump+ installation, the crew installed an Aprilaire in the home. The Aprilaire is a dehumidifier that creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air. Once the Aprilaire was installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was properly waterproofed.

In Worthington, MN a homeowner was concerned about the condition of his basement after a heavy storm that had happened. When he took a look at the space later, he found just what he was worried about. Multiple puddles of water had formed on the concrete floors and had already caused some damage to his belongings. He decided to find a solution to prevent it from happening again in the future and started his search on basement waterproofing companies. During his search he came across the American Waterworks website and was impressed with our past jobs done for other customers and our FREE estimates. He scheduled one for himself and we sent over Design Specialist Lance Schmidt to give his recommendations for the space. Lance arrived at the home and knew what needed to be done and the homeowner was happy to move forward and schedule a day and time for installations. When Foreman Victor Salvador and his crew went to the site, they began the process by jackhammering channels along the base of the walls. Next, they placed a layer of drainage stone in the channels along with the WaterGuard drain system and more clean stone. Then, they connected a feed line for the water to go through from the drain to the new TripleSafe sump system. The CleanSpace was also installed to cover the walls for any future water vapor near the walls to move down to the drain. Finally, the crew placed a layer of concrete on top of the WaterGuard system and around the TripleSafe pump to hold the products in place and provide extra protection. The crew cleaned up the space after installations had finished and left the site in great condition. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and grateful he had contacted us to waterproof his basement.

Knowing this could lead to larger issues, the homeowner began looking into basement repair companies in Minnesota. After looking through several companies, the homeowner's attention was caught by American Waterworks. Impressed with our previous project, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once their appointment was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Ryan, one of our Design Specialists.  Ryan arrived at the home and started his thorough investigation of the struggling basement.

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 direct 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. Next, the crew focused on installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing.
