American Waterworks Before & After Photos

John, a homeowner in Brandon, MN, was concerned about the state of his basement. He noticed that his floors had hairline cracks, and water was also entering the basement in the room's corners. He wanted to address the problem thoroughly and effectively, so he called American Waterworks to claim his FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Shane, went to the property, did a complete evaluation, and gave John his recommendations. Once approved, our team was ready to get to work.

Our Foreman, Juan, and his production crew started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter and forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System. 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. They also installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump, there is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home. The battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. To complete the WaterGuard project, Juan and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. 

The team then proceeded to install the CleanSpace wall System around the perimeter of the basement. Our CleanSpace Wall System is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners, so it never falls. It also prevents humidity from invading the walls and gives the basement a clean and bright appearance, with a 25-year warranty. 

John was delighted with the outcome and glad he decided to work with American Waterworks.

A homeowner in Brandon, MN, knew it was time to have their severely cracked driveway repaired. Knowing this was a larger project, the homeowner began looking into professional options near them. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner asked their local Facebook group for any suggestions and several members referred them to us, American Waterworks. Interested in learning more, the homeowner took a closer look at our website to see the services we offer. After seeing we offer NexusPro crack repair, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Daniel, one of our Design Specialists. Daniel arrived at the home and introduced himself to the homeowner. After he completed the detailed inspection, Daniel was able to come up with a suggested action plan to fix the damaged sidewalk. Daniel presented the plan and after some deliberation, the homeowner agreed. The plans were sent back to the office for approval and then directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew were sent to the home to begin the project. First, Patrick and his crew began by lifting the driveway with the PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. After installing the PolyLevel, the crew inserted the NexusPro in the cracks and joints of the driveway. After all the cracks and joints were filled, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist our homeowners repair their damaged concrete. 

Having a wet or damp basement can create more than just a headache. Problems like these can cause larger problems like mold, mildew, rot, structural damage, and health problems. If you have noticed any symptoms such as a wet basement floor or walls, standing water, smelly odors, condensation, sump pump problems, or leaky basement windows, it is time to get in contact with a professional to come and inspect your basement. 

A resident of Thompson, ND was seeing similar problems like this, so he got in contact with American Waterworks after doing some research. He got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to the resident's home, inspected the basement, and determined a solution that would work for them and their needs. He proposed our WaterGuard Drainage System and a feed line to the sump pump. The homeowner was confident in the proposal after getting their questions answered, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron Pjrakonekham, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGaurd Below Floor Drain, which prevents water clogs, collects water leakage from basement walls, and serves as an underground drain. Next, our team formed a feed line from one side of the WaterGuard to the sump pump. The purpose of a feed line is to transport water from high influx areas to the sump pump. The homeowner was happy with the work that was completed!

Gary, from Lake Lillian, MN, began to notice a bow in the foundation walls of his lake home. The bowing of the wall resulted in cracks within the foundation, allowing water to seep through and causing a wet basement. Gary decided to call  American Waterworks and claim his FREE estimate, which entitled him to a complete home inspection. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed to the home. He began a thorough home inspection to get a proper diagnosis of the situation and provide the best solutions to help Gary not only solve his issue but prevent any other issues from arising. Once the inspection was done, Shane recommended that Gary invest in our PowerBrace Wall System. Gary agreed with the solution and proceeded to schedule a date of installation.

Once set, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew began strategically placing PowerBraces around the basement, inserting 5 9' PowerBraces to stabilize the wall further. The PowerBrace system is an I-shaped beam that stabilizes and helps straighten the bow of the wall over time. The PowerBrace system is drilled into the home's support beams and the concrete on which the house lies. The team also inserted 6 GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. This innovative system stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation; the anchors can be tightened over time. 

Now Gary lives worry-free, and the foundation of his lake home is in jeopardy of worsening. If you are experiencing a similar issue, contact American Waterworks today and claim your FREE estimate!!
