American Waterworks Before & After Photos

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!

A customer from Perham, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his crawl space was causing issues with his home. When he called in, he noted that he was experiencing unwanted water in the space along with a sinking floor from the room above. He had concerns that if he left the issue unresolved, it would result in damage being done to the structure of the home which would cost more to fix down the road. We set him up with our FREE estimate and our Design Specialist, Richie N headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once Richie had completed his thorough walkthrough, he made several recommendations as to how we could help. First, Richie wanted to wrap the space in our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is a tarp-like material that traps water and helps deposit it to the appropriate location. Second, Richie recommended our AprilAire dehumidifier, one of the most elite self-draining dehumidifiers on the market. Finally, Richie wanted to address the sagging floor by using our Support Jacks, which are adjustable supplemental support systems used specifically for sagging crawl spaces and can restore them to their original position. Our customer agreed with the suggestions and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew worked quickly to install 12 of our SmartJack support jacks and 1030 sqft of CleanSpace throughout the crawl space, and finished off the job by installing one of our Aprilaire dehumidifiers. Once completed, our customer was happy to know that he didn't need to worry about the structural integrity of his home any longer!
