American Waterworks Before & After Photos

In Sleepy Eye, MN, a homeowner noticed water leaking along the floor of their basement. Concerned for mold growth, the homeowner knew they needed a long-term solution. They quickly took action by searching for basement waterproofers in the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming highly impressed by our waterproofing transformations, the homeowner knew we would be the right company for their home repair journey. They soon contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan P., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, he tested the humidity levels and took note of the areas where water leaks were present. After reporting their findings to the homeowner, Ryan began working on a detailed solution to waterproof the basement. He recommended installing WaterGuard, our interior drainage system that directs water leaks to the sump system, CleanSpace, our vapor wall liner that prevents water vapor from permeating the walls, and SuperSump+, our reliable sump system that is capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to the recommendations.

In about a month, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 80ft of CleanSpace and WaterGuard, and 1 SuperSump+.

Mike, a homeowner in Rothsay, MN, needed support for his home's basement space. The wall in the basement was failing and he could see daylight through the cracking mortar. To top it off, his back steps were consequently uneven due to the foundation issues. He decided to call American Waterworks and claimed his FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough inspection of the issue. Our Design Specialist, Richie, headed to the property and did a full walkthrough, making sure to give recommendations based on how we can tackle the issue to prevent the basement walls from worsening. Once the entire inspection was complete and Richie had all the information he needed, he explained to Mike how we could help. Mike was excited to begin and see how we would transform the space.

Foreman Domenic and his crew arrived at the property soon after to get started. First, they ensured the area was cleared and prepped for work. Mike had decided to invest in our PolyLevel solution for his back steps; the product is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected underneath concrete to fill the voids underneath the slab that were caused by soil erosion. Next, the team began installing our SmartJack system. Our SmartJack system is made to provide support for oversized or sagging beams, restoring stability and straightness. The team added one of our SmartJacks along the support beam of the home. Before installing the SmartJack, the production team dug a hole two feet deep. Then they backfilled the hole with engineer fill which is designed to dissipate the amount of force the SmartJack is experiencing. Finally, the team used seven of our GeoLock Wall Anchors along the north, east, and west walls to correct the issue and prevent it from worsening. This innovative system permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. The anchors can also be tightened over time. Mike was happy with the results of the project and grateful he no longer has to worry about the state of his home.

In Rothsay, MN, a homeowner noticed a musty smell coming from their crawl space. After noticing it was mold, the homeowner began looking into crawl space encapsulation services in the area and contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ian S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the crawl space, determined the humidity levels, and worked closely with the homeowner to create a custom solution. To stop further mold growth and decrease the humidity levels in the crawl space, Ian recommended installing Drainage Matting, which would rest on top of the ground and is meant to direct any water in the crawl space to the drain system, and CleanSpace, our vapor liner that prevents water vapor from permeating the ground. After looking over the proposal and having confidence in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Franklin O., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 135 sqft of Drainage Matting and 150 sqft of CleanSpace.

Bob M. of Fergus Falls, MN had a cracked foundation wall in his basement, making him worry about the structural build of his home. He did some research on our website and came across around foundation repair products. He called our office line to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to Bob's home, examined his foundation wall, and came up with the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. Bob was confident in Chad's proposal and got all of his questions answered, so he went ahead with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Brian Colliton, and his production team began the process by digging five holes outside of the home and inserting a long, metal rod from the inside foundation to each hole outside. At the ends of each rod, our team tightened and screwed on a GeoLock Wall Anchor. The wall anchor system permanently stabilizes the foundation wall by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed, compact soil beyond the foundation. To complete the installation, Brian and his team backfilled each hole, replaced the soil, and made sure the yard looked neater than when they found it. Bob was very satisfied with the project and no longer has to worry about the support of his home. 

Keynote for homeowners: After installation, wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their normal positions.
