American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Truman, MN, had noticed that their slabs had begun sinking around their home. Concerned it would worsen, the homeowner sought a quick solution. After browsing through multiple concrete contractors, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate!

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Lance S., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Lance noticed multiple areas that had become a trip hazard. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Lance recommended lifting the slabs with PolyLevel, our foam-expanding solution. After looking over the recommendations, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Troy J., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by drilling small holes into the concrete slabs and inserting the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, causing it to lift. Once it has been lifted to the desired height, the crew seals the holes.

Cailen, a homeowner in Farwell, MN, was concerned with the state of his basement. A failing wall was leaking water into the space. He contacted us because he was afraid that, if left unchecked, the failing foundation would compromise the home's structural integrity and affect the basement's window sills, which could become costly further down the road.

When he called us, we were able to set him up with our FREE estimate, so our Design Specialist, Jesse, headed out to the property to do a thorough inspection of the issue and how we could help fix the issue. When he completed his walkthrough, he recommended using our GeoLock wall anchors. He explained to Cailen that our GeoLock anchors are the ideal solution to permanently stabilize a foundation wall by anchoring the problem wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. Cailen agreed to the work, and the project began shortly after.

Our Foreman, Lane, and crew installed three GeoLock anchors on the wall. These anchors allow minimal disturbance to lawn and landscaping. This system can be tightened over time to further straighten foundation walls and pull them back into their original position, which added further peace of mind. Once the job was finished, Cailen was satisfied that his failing wall worries were in the past! 

In Granada, MN, a homeowner found an unwanted heavy rain pond in their basement rather than a peaceful retreat. As seen in the "before" photo, standing water took center stage. Kicking water to the curb, our trusty team at American Waterworks installed a robust CleanSpace, alongside the powerhouse TripleSafe Sump Pump and agile WaterGuard system. With the impressive "after" results, your basement becomes more than just extra storage space; it’s now dry and dependable! Because at the end of the rainy day, our custom solutions ensure moisture issues take an eternal vacation.

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.
