American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Karen from Blomkest, MN, was having moisture issues in her basement. She was afraid that if the problem was left unresolved, she would run the risk of doing severe damage to her basement.

Our design specialist, Skylar, visited the property and recommended that the customer invest in our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier for basement waterproofing. It is installed below the floor but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone" and making it harder to clog. 

Foreman, Arturo, and his crew headed out and got started on making Karen's home a drier, safer place to live. First, our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

The drainage system now properly guides water to the Super Sump Plus pump, which pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Karen was pleased with the results and is glad her basement is now a dry, healthy space.

Karen's driveway was uneven and had significant cracks, and she wanted to fix the problem before it worsened. She called American Waterworks and claimed her FREE estimate for a thorough inspection. Our Design Specialist, Skylar, headed to the property to inspect the driveway and recommend solutions to prevent the concrete slab from worsening. Once completed, Skylar recommended Karen invest in our PolyLevel solution and finish with our NexusPro solution. She got all her questions answered and agreed with the solution, and the team came out to her home shortly after.

Led by Foreman Patrick, our poly crew then strategically drilled holes into the concrete slabs that had sinkage to inject the PolyLevel Solution. The PolyLevel solution is an expanding polyurethane foam injected underneath the concrete slabs to fill the voids underneath the slab caused by soil erosion. Once the polyurethane was injected, the crew finished the project by sealing the cracks and joints with our NexusPro solution. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant formulated for flexibility and longevity to survive harsh weather conditions, helping ensure that the concrete will stay raised. 

Karen was happy with the results of her driveway and glad her peace of mind was restored.

Richard H. in Lewisville, MN was tired of dealing with the frustration of his sunken driveway. It had sunk 2-3 inches below the concrete floor of the garage and created a large bump when driving in and out.

He started looking for concrete repair experts and found American Waterworks. He was interested to learn more about our PolyLevel concrete repair solution, so he gave us a call. Our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, went to his home to give him a free onsite estimate. Richard was pleased to learn that we would be able to raise his concrete and make it level with the garage again. 

Our PolyLevel expert drilled penny sized holes into the concrete slabs to inject the foam. Once the foam is injected it takes only 30 minutes to cure, so Richard was able to see the results almost immediately. Richard was happy he found an affordable and efficient concrete repair option through American Waterworks. He will no longer have the frustration of uneven concrete for years to come!

Mark and LuAnne K. of Fairfax, MN had water leaking around the perimeter of their basement floor. After doing some research, they called American Waterworks to schedule a Free Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, went out to their home to examine the problem and come up with a solution. After an in-depth inspection, Mark and LuAnne both approved of the proposal, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew began the installation by breaking out the concrete around the basement perimeter to form a waterway trench. In that trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard System which serves as an underground water drain and prevents water clogs. Next, Juan and his crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System in the corner of the basement. Our TripleSafe is one of the best sump pumps we offer to customers and provides three levels of water protection. To complete the project, our team covered the gaps with rocks and replaced the concrete. Mark and LuAnne were pleased with the outcome, and appreciated the work that was done! 

A homeowner in Fairfax, MN, did not like the look of their cracked and uneven concrete. Wanting to get a headstart of the project, the homeowner began looking for the best options for their situation. After coming up empty, the homeowner was looking through their social media when they came across one of our PolyLevel installations. Interested in our PolyLevel services, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Kevin, one of our Design Specialists. Once Kevin arrived, he began evaluating the concrete to find the cause of the issue. Kevin discovered that the concrete was sinking due to soil settlement. To stop the concrete from sinking further, Kevin recommended that the concrete be lifted using the PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. Wanting to avoid replacing the entire slab, the homeowner agreed and production commenced. Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew were assigned to complete the project. The crew began by inserting the PolyLevel underneath the driveway and the sidewalk. After the PolyLevel installation was completed, the crew took out the old joints and replaced them with the NexusPro Joint Sealant. The NexusPro Joint Sealant is a silicone-based sealant that is specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather. Once all the joints were replaced, the crew went ahead and cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowners were pleased with the great work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to accomplish another concrete job for one of our customers.
