A homeowner in Gelcole, MN, was doing laundry in their basement when they noticed a stairstep crack growing on their back foundation wall. Concerned that this issue would worsen, the homeowner decided to reach out to a professional to have the wall inspected. Not sure who they should work with, the homeowner tried to narrow down their choices using HomeAdvisor. After putting in their requirements, the first company on the list was American Waterworks. Once they saw that we listed the services they were looking for, the homeowner decided to call our Appointment Center and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Dylan, one of our Design Specialists. After Dylan arrived, he began inspecting the back foundation wall and discovered it was showing early signs of wall failure. Since Dylan discovered the source of the issue, he could come up with a suggested solution. To stop the wall failure from progressing, Dylan suggested ten Geolock anchors be installed on the north and east walls. Knowing this would stop the wall from further failing, the homeowner agreed with Dylan's suggestions. Once they received the okay, the plans were directed to Arturo and his crew. Arturo and his crew arrived to begin the GeoLock installation. The crew installed four GeoLocks on the north wall and six on the east wall. Once all the GeoLocks were installed, the crew cleaned up their site and left the home. The homeowners were relieved to know their wall was no longer at risk of failure. American Waterworks is happy to give homeowners peace of mind.
A homeowner in Glencoe, MN, noticed their east foundation wall was beginning to shear at the bottom of the wall. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner decided to do further research into companies that do foundation repair. While on social media, the homeowner saw one of our digital advertisements. Interested in our companies, the homeowner clicked on the advertisement and read further into our foundation repair options. After reading more in-depth, the homeowner knew we were the best fit, so signed up for their FREE estimate. After the details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Gary, one of our Design Specialists. Gary arrived at the home and began by investigating the status of the foundation on the interior and exterior. Following his in-depth evaluation, Gary recommended that the east foundation wall be permanently stabilized with PowerBraces. The homeowner decided to go along with Gary's plan, so they were directed to the production crew. Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. First, the crew marked out where the PowerBraces will be placed. Then, the crew installed seven PowerBraces along the east foundation wall. Once the PowerBraces were secured into place, the crew put the basement back in order. The homeowner was impressed with the wonderful work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to ensure another homeowner's foundation is secured.
A homeowner from Glencoe, MN, had been suffering from a damp basement for some time. She no longer wanted to deal with the problem and decided to find a basement waterproofing company near Glencoe, MN. Through extensive internet searches, the homeowner quickly found our website and signed up for her FREE estimate.
A few weeks later, Eric H, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. When Eric finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Eric recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the walls of the basement, functioning to direct water entering through the wall, downward, and into a perimeter drain, our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, giving the water entering down from the CleanSpace, and coming up from the floor, a channel to flow freely to a pre-installed sump system. The homeowner was thrilled with Eric's explanation and solution and signed on the spot.
Several weeks later, our Foreman, Jesus C, and his crew were out at the home. At the end of the project, our team effortlessly installed 136 sqft of CleanSpace, and 136 sqft of WaterGuard. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her basement is properly defended against unwanted water!
A homeowner from Arlington, MN got in contact with us when they learned of hazardous radon gas and wanted to have their home tested to make sure the air they were breathing was healthy. They searched for a company that deals with Radon and came across our website. They decided to take advantage of our FREE, no-obligation estimate into the issue. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kevin, headed out to the property to assess the situation. Part of Kevin's visit was leaving a Radon test kit in the basement of the home. Once the Radon test kit had sat in the basement long enough, the sample was sent in for evaluation. The numbers can back reading 12.7 pCi/L, which is extremely high. The EPA recommends taking action on any radon levels over 4 pCi/L. Kevin let the homeowners know that while the numbers were high, our Radon mitigation system would bring those numbers way down to inhabitable conditions. He went on to say that the mitigation system works to pull radon from the home, piping it upwards, and expelling it out through the top of the home, and out and away from the house. The homeowners agreed and work began a few weeks later.
Our Foreman, Geno, and his team make quick work of the installation. Once the job was completed, the homeowner was thrilled to know that they could take a breath of relief with clean air.

Bill L. in Eagle Lake, MN had a sunken concrete patio. His deck was on top of the patio, and the uneven concrete made his deck slanted and regrettably unenjoyable. He was interested in our PolyLevel concrete repair option, so he contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to evaluate the situation and propose a solution. Bill was happy to learn that PolyLevel is a more durable and less-invasive alternative to traditional concrete replacement or mudjacking, so he scheduled the installation.
Our Foreman, Dylon Mish, drilled pencil-sized holes into the concrete slabs where the foam needed to be injected to effectively raise and level the patio. Then, he injected the foam until the slabs were a completely level surface. Lastly, he filled the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. Bill was amazed at the transformation, and he is glad he will now be able to enjoy an even patio and deck for many years to come.
