American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Cheryl A. from Gaylord, MN had water leaking into her basement through her windows. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists went to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution to keep her basement dry. He recommended that we replace her old, leaky windows, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team removed the old windows and replaced them with our EverLast Basement Windows. EverLast basement windows are energy-efficient, vinyl-framed replacement windows. Designed with double-paned, low-E glass, they are much more energy efficient than the single-paned, steel-framed windows that are the industry standard. These windows will never rust, rot, decay or need paint. They can also be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance.

Joyce T. in Gaylord, MN had water leaking into her basement causing damage to her property. She learned that American Waterworks has been the leading waterproofing contractor in the region for 30 years and gave us a call. We sent one of our Design Specialists to her home to propose a unique solution that fit the needs of her home. 

Our production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they laid the WaterGuard drainage system and connected it to our SuperSump sump pump. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is expelled from the home. Joyce can rest easy knowing she chose a permanent solution to protect her home.

Penny P. in Gaylord, MN was referred to American Waterworks by a previous customer. She had cracked and bowing basement walls, and she was concerned about the structural integrity of her foundation. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to meet with Penny, evaluate the situation, and propose the best, cost-effective solution. Penny was impressed with Jeremy’s presentation, and she moved forward with the project.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew were able to successfully stabilize the basement walls by installing 7 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors along the damaged foundation. The anchor rods were drilled deep into the soil outside of the home and wall plates installed on each end of the rod to secure the anchor. Then, they tightened the anchor to start the process of straightening the wall. Penny’s peace of mind has been restored, and she is glad she made the investment to protect her home!

Marcene D. of Perham, MN had a couple of cracks in her garage foundation. She called American Waterworks and our Design Specialist, Kole, went to her home to educate her on the problem and deliver a solution to her. Kole requested our Wall Anchor System, which is made to strengthen and stabilize bowing or cracked walls. Marcene was confident in the product, so she went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his crew installed four of our wall anchors and their hide-a-way covers to stabilize and repair the foundation. Our wall anchors are the most versatile wall repair system because they can solve a variety of foundation problems. Marcene was happy with the work that was completed!

For this job, we headed out to Perham, MN, where we assisted a customer who was having issues with bowing wood and water in their crawl space. Our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property and was able to recommend solutions for both of the issues. To address the bowing wood, Richie suggested they have several SmartJacks installed under the main beam of the floorboard. Our SmartJacks have the option to be tightened over time, making it the ideal solution for homeowners who need a long-term fix. Richie suggested our CleanSpace waterproofing encapsulation be installed in the crawl space to keep it dry and energy-efficient. Another excellent project completed by Richie, our Foreman Cameron, and his team!
