Dirt Crawl Space Gets Encapsulated in Saint Paul, MN

Before	After

Denise H. in Saint Paul, MN was experiencing high humidity in her dirt crawl space and she noticed bugs were entering through that space because it was not encapsulated. Denise wanted to make her crawl space healthier and more energy-efficient, so she contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, went onsite to inspect her crawl space and develop a personalized solution. Denise was impressed with our products and Jeremy’s thorough plan, so she chose to move forward with the encapsulation.

Our production team removed the debris from her crawl space and leveled the dirt as best as they could. Then, they installed a SmartDrain and condensation pump. They laid our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the floor and FoamMax walls panels along to walls. Lastly, they sprayed the rim joists with our spray foam insulation and they installed a SaniDry dehumidifier. The combination of these waterproofing and encapsulation systems makes the crawl space a dry, energy-efficient, and healthier space. Denise was very pleased with the finished product and was thrilled with how hard working our crew was!

Wet Basement Problems Resolved in Woodbury, MN

Before	After

A homeowner in Woodbury, MN had been enjoying his basement space when he noticed a small puddle of water that had formed at the base of one of the walls. He grew concerned and didn't want the issue to get worse if he left it to be. He knew with all of the heavy rainfall they had been having recently, one of his friends had a similar problem in their basement. The homeowner gave them a call and discovered how they solved the problem: American Waterworks. He decided to check out our website and was eager to schedule an appointment when he noticed our FREE estimate offers. When we sent over Design Specialist Ryan Powell to talk to the homeowner and inspect the site, Ryan knew just what would solve the problem. He explained that using our WaterGuard system, which is specifically designed to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and send it away safely, could help the issue. The homeowner agreed to Ryan's plans and after they were approved, they were given to our Foreman, Lane Schlobohm, and his crew to carry out the installations. The crew carefully installed the WaterGuard system and cleaned up the materials, leaving the basement in great condition and leaving the homeowner with a smile on his face at the water-free space.

Sunken Concrete Patio Gets Lifted in Woodbury, MN

Before	After

A homeowner from Woodbury, MN, had taken one too many tumbles over a section of uneven concrete on her backyard patio. She didn't want anyone else to fall victim to the sinking concrete, so she began the search for a MN concrete repair company. When she came across our website, she decided to sign up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac C, headed out to the home. 

Once Mac finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to deliver his findings. Mac explained that concrete can sink for a variety of reasons but that American Waterworks could help restore the slabs. Mac said we would use our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, slowly lifting the concrete back into place. When the lift has been completed, our team installs our NexusPro. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that gets applied to the cracks and joints of the newly lifted concrete. It works to prevent moisture from getting to the vulnerable soil below.  The homeowner liked the sound of Mac's plan, and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jordan, and his team completed the lift and level with no issues. Now, our customer can enjoy her outdoor oasis without worries of taking a tumble!
