American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A Mankato, MN, homeowner was growing frustrated over his back utility room. Each time the area got rain, the homeowner was faced with pooling water near the baseboard of the room. Not wanting the issue to continue, potentially damaging appliances, the homeowner decided to search for MN waterproofing companies. When he found our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan W, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Dylan completed his inspection, he was ready to make his recommendations to the homeowner. Dylan explained that because the water seemed to be entering through cracks and holes near the floor, he was recommending our WaterGuard. He explained that WaterGuard is a French drain designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. He went on to say that Installation involves removing a section of floor around the perimeter and creating a drainage trench. Sections of WaterGuard® are then placed within the trench, resting on a bed of drainage stone, and the floor is restored. Dylan finished by saying that the WaterGuard would be attached to the homeowner's existing sump pump. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Juan B, and his team ended up installing 20ft of WaterGuard throughout the space. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his appliances are safe from water intrusion!

A Mankato, MN, homeowner got in touch with us after she took a tumble over a piece of uneven concrete. She didn't want anyone else to get hurt, so she signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to the home. 

Once our Design Specialist finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. He explained that we could address the sinking concrete with the help of our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion and to slowly return the concrete slabs to their original resting place. Our Design Specialist went on to say that once our team had finished the lift, they would install our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to cracks and joints in the concrete and works to protect the soil below from unwanted moisture. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Sam K, and his team completed the lift and seal with no issues. Now our customers can have guests over without worrying they'll take a tumble!

A homeowner from Mankato, MN, was growing increasingly frustrated with her outdated sump pump. Each time it rained, the sump pump had trouble keeping up with the amount of water entering the home, which led to water overflowing the sump, leaving excess water to stand on the basement floor. The homeowner was concerned about what this could mean for her basement, so she began to look for interior waterproofing MN. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, Nate B, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Nate concluded his inspection of the basement, he recommended that the homeowner upgrade her old sump pump. Nate wanted to specifically use our SuperSump sump pump. Nate explained that the SuperSump is an effective and more economical solution to keep the basement dry. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner was thrilled that Nate had provided a fix for her basement and scheduled the installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo, and his team were able to place the SuperSump without any issues. Now our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that her sump pump was now equipped to handle large influxes of water.

A homeowner from Mankato, MN, got in touch with us when he noticed that his old sump system was beginning to fail. The system would run day and night during times of heavy water intrusion, and when they needed the system most, it would become overwhelmed with the onslaught of water, leaving a mess for the homeowners to deal with. He decided to find a sump pump repair company near Mankato, MN, and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan W, headed out to the home. 

After Dylan concluded his inspection, he informed the homeowner that he would recommend replacing the old system with our SuperSump plus sump system, an affordable yet effective way to rid your basement of unwanted water. The homeowner was impressed with our system and signed on for the job. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team placed the new system in the home. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing his sump system is ready for the melt of spring! 

A homeowner in Mankato, MN, was concerned that his sunken walkway and driveway would lower the resale value of his home. He looked for concrete lifting services in the area and found our website. Impressed with our before-and-after photos, he contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Tony B., arrived at the home on the scheduled date to asses the walkway and driveway. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common reasons for concrete sinking is soil compaction and settling. When a soil's load-bearing capacity exceeds, it causes the soil beneath the concrete slab to expand and contract. As this continues, the slab will sink, eventually leading to cracks in one or more parts of the slab. To fix this issue, Tony recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints. The homeowner was grateful for Tony's explanation and decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by drilling small holes into the slab and placing the injection ports. Once those were installed, they injected PolyLevel beneath the slab, lifting it. Once this was lifted, the crew ensured it was leveled before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew seals the cracks and joints using NexusPro. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
