American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Larry, a homeowner in Langdon, ND, was growing more concerned about his wet crawl space. If a crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues can extend to all parts of the home. He wanted to understand why it was happening, ensure the issue was corrected, and restore peace of mind moving forward. After deciding on our company, we set Larry up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how American Waterworks could help. Our customer agreed with the recommendations, and work began shortly after. 

First, under the direction of one of our Fargo Foremen the team removed the insulation currently in the crawlspace. Then, after cleaning the space, they went ahead with installing Foamax insulated wall panels and spray foam around the rim joists. The Foamax provides comfort and energy bill savings, while making the walls look clean and bright. The spray foam seals and waterproofs the homeowner's crawl space. The crew proceeded to use CleanSpace to encapsulate the crawlspace to prevent moisture and mold from affecting the rest of the foundation. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier that gets installed right onto the problem walls and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. This also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. Next the crew used drainage matting and CleanSpace to encapsulate the entire space.

They also installed our Smart Sump where the existing sump was, and created a discharge line out the south end of the home.  The SmartSump™ comes equipped with a cast-iron Zoeller® primary pump with the option of adding an UltraSump® Battery Backup Sump Pump. This sump pump is designed to fit with the CleanSpace® liner and has a sump alarm to ensure you always are aware of any water in your crawl space.

Larry was so pleased and happy with the crew and couldn't say enough about the team's great work!

Jeri H. in Lakota, IA was concerned about her bowing basement walls. She contacted American Waterworks after she was referred by a friend, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, to meet with her. Dylan evaluated the situation and proposed a solution for her home. Jeri approved of the design and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew were able to successfully stabilize the bowing foundation wall with 6 PowerBraces. The PowerBraces halted further deterioration of the wall, and over time, can be tightened to make the wall straighter and more vertical. Jeri was pleased with the installation and her peace of mind has been restored!

The foundation of this home was bowing and showing significant signs of inward movement.  American Waterworks installed Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the bowing walls, and used the system's clamping pressure to stabilize and restore the wall.

Jeff V. in Willmar, MN had a long sidewalk and large patio that had dirty, uneven concrete. He saw advertising for the concrete repair solutions that American Waterworks offers, so he gave us a call to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Reed Hudson, went to his home to inspect his concrete and build the right repair plan for Jeff’s concrete needs. Reed explained to Jeff that our PolyLevel concrete repair solution is more efficient and cost-effective than traditional concrete repair. He also talked him through the benefits of finishing his concrete repair project with our concrete sealant called SealantPro. Jeff was impressed with Reed’s presentation and his thorough plan to make his concrete beautiful again, so he decided to move forward with the project.

Our concrete repair experts started the process by drilling small holes into the concrete slabs where they needed to be raised. Then, they injected the polymer foam until the slabs were raised back to their original position. Once the concrete had been raised, they sealed the cracks with our NexusPro sealant to protect the concrete and give it a nice, finished look. The following day, we power washed the concrete and then applied SealantPro. SealantPro is a state-of-the-art material that bonds with concrete on a molecular level, permanently protecting it from water, dirt and other contaminants in a single coat. Jeff was thrilled with the result and was very impressed with our crew! He is happy he chose to repair his concrete through American Waterworks.

Jolyn N. in Willmar, MN was concerned about a large crack in her foundation and water seeping into her basement. After being referred to our company, we sent our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radtke, to her home to complete a FREE estimate. Jolyn was happy with the solution Jeremy provided, and she decided to move forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his crew started installing our waterproofing system by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our SuperSump sump pump and our CleanSpace vapor barrier system along the walls. The combination of these waterproofing products ensure that water will be properly discharged from her basement and that it will remain a dry and functional space. 

Then, our crew installed 16 Geo-Lock wall anchors along the damaged foundation by drilling small holes through the block into the soil surrounding the home. They dug small holes in the yard that lined up with the anchor rods, and they secured them from the outside and inside of the home with anchor plates. They tightened them as far as they would go to stabilize the walls and to halt any further movement. The installation took two days to complete, and Jolyn’s peace of mind has been restored knowing that her foundation is permanently secure!
