American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Matt and Michelle W. of Easton, MN had cracked foundation walls in their basement so they called American Waterworks after being referred by another customer. Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, came to their home for a FREE Estimate. After an in-depth inspection, Matt and Michelle were confident with Ben's proposal, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Rene Hernandez, and his production team dug seven holes outside of the home and installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors. To do this, they inserted a long, medal rod in each hole from the outside soil to the inside foundation wall, and tightened an anchor on the ends of each rod. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors are designed to pull the walls back into their natural position. To complete the project, Rene and his team back filled the holes and replaced the soil. Matt and Michelle were happy with the outcome and were amazed at how quick the work was completed! 

A homeowner from Easton, MN, got in contact with us when she noticed that her walls were leaking after a heavy rainstorm. The homeowner was afraid that the leaky walls were a symptom of a bigger problem. After seeing our waterproofing ads on TV, she decided to give us a call to see if we could help. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the home to see how serious the issue was. 

Upon completion of the inspection, Ryan reassured the homeowner that while the issue was serious, American Waterworks had the solutions and techniques to ensure that no more unwanted water would find it's way into her space. He explained that leaky walls can be combated with two of our products, WaterGuard and CleanSpace. Ryan elaborated, explaining that the CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly to the basement walls. Its purpose is to direct any water entering through the walls down, along the barrier, and into the WaterGuard, a below-floor drain that works to collect water entering from the ground or the walls, directing it to the proper disposal site and keeping it off the floor. The homeowner agreed and the work was scheduled to be completed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jose, and his team ended up installing 96 ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and another 96 ft of CleanSpace. Now that the job is complete, our customer is happy to know she no longer needs to worry about her basemen in times of heavy rain!

Bob G. of Mapleton, MN was interested in getting a new and improved sump pump system. He saw American Waterworks at a local home show and talked with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric listened  to his concerns and said he'd come out to his house for a FREE estimate. Eric inspected the pre-existing sump pump and proposed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is triple the protection, comes with a battery backup, and solves all three water problems in one unit. Bob was confident in the product and is features, so he decided to go ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul Avilez, and his crew broke out the concrete around the existing sump pump and replaced it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, followed by the discharge line. To complete the project, our crew applied a new layer of concrete and provided Bob with a post-project walkthrough. Bob was very happy and was grateful that he found us!

Marcus C. of Bismarck,  ND had water coming into his basement through his wood foundation. He heard about American Waterworks, so he got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our  Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to Marcus's home, carefully inspected his problems, and proposed a solution that would repair his basement problems. He was confident in Ian's plan of our half wall demolition, Foamax Half Wall Panels, and our WaterGuard Below-Drain System, so he signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production crew began the process by performing a half wall demolition around the wall perimeter and installing our Foamax Half Wall Panels. Our Foamax is an advanced foam insulation that prevents condensation and provides protection from moisture. Next, our team broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGaurd Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is an interior drainage system that prevents water and mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. To complete the project, Ryan and his team filled the open-floor gaps with small rocks and applied new concrete over them. Marcus was thrilled with the work and had a remarkable experience with our team!

Mark and Sharron of Miltona, MN, noticed musty, damp smells coming from their dirt crawlspace. They knew the importance of encapsulating their crawlspace to protect against odors, rodents, insects, and more, especially since they planned to keep their lake home long. After researching, they decided to call American Waterworks and were set up with a FREE inspection. Our Design Specialist, Ian, headed to the property a few weeks later. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended how American Waterworks could help. Our customers agreed with the recommendations, and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his crew began by installing our drainage matting, a dimpled mat that is installed onto the floor of the crawl space. This gives any excess water a route to flow through the space and be disposed of at an external site such as a drain or a sump system. The second installation was our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp that traps any excess moisture in the space, redirecting it to the appropriate disposal site. 

Finally, our team added an Aprilaire dehumidifier, which creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% relative humidity. This and our crawl space liner will create a drier, healthier crawl space. Our crawl space liner is made with seven layers of tough, durable material designed to withstand traffic from the homeowner and workers -- with a 25-year written, transferable warranty! Mark and Sharron were very pleased with the results and grateful their peace of mind was restored.
