American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Rob B. of Winsted, MN had a two-inch stoop on his front porch, and he wanted to get it lifted and repaired rather than replaced. After finding out American Waterworks performs work in concrete repair, he got in contact with our office to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Joe Muehlbauer. Joe went to his home, inspected his concrete, and came up with a solution. Rob was comfortable with Joe's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Troy Johnson, and his crew member drilled small holes into the concrete and injected our PolyLevel beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and to stabilize the concrete surface. Our PolyLevel is adjustable, it is waterproof, and it cures quickly so the concrete can be used within 15 minutes of injection. 

A homeowner from Red Lake Falls, MN, was walking across their main level floor one day when they noticed a slight sag to the floor. Upon inspection, the naked eye could see that the floor was indeed uneven. The homeowner was worried about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home. One night, he saw one of our TV ads informing him that we specialize in fixing failing foundations. He decided to schedule his FREE inspection, and several weeks later, Ian S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home.

Ian got right to work assessing the space. When he completed it, he informed the homeowner that we could address the problem using our SmartJack system. Our SmartJack system provides soil support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists. Once installed, this system can correct problems such as sloping, overfly spring floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Due to it's modern design, SmartJacks can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. The homeowner liked the sound of Ian's plan, and signed on the spot. 

When the installation day rolled around, our Foreman, RJ L, led his team through the successful installation of 4 of our SmartJacks throughout the basement. Now, our customer is thrilled to know that his foundation worries are in the past! 

A customer from Mahnomen, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his basement wall was beginning to bow inwards, showing signs of wall failure. He feared that if he left the issue untreated, he could run the risk of severely compromising the structural integrity of the home. When he called our Appointment Center, they set him up with our FREE estimate, which entitled him to a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to complete his inspection. Once concluded, he made his recommendations to the homeowner. Because of the nature of the wall, Kole recommended they use our GeoLock wall anchors to correct the situation. He informed them that our anchors will permanently stabilize the foundation wall by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that, once installed, the anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the wall. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Production crew, led by our Foreman Raul, ended up installing 4 of our wall anchors throughout the basement of the home. Once the job was complete, the homeowner was happy to know that the structure of his home was fixed! 

Roxy C. of Dumont, IA had water leaking in the corner of her basement, causing her to feel uncomfortable in her own home. She found American Waterworks in the newspaper, so she decided to give us a call to set up a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist went to her home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Roxy was comfortable with the proposal so she scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Edgar Miranda, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete in the corner of the basement and installing our SuperSump Plus M53 Sump Pump. Edgar and his grew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Roxy had a great experience from start to finish, and no longer has to worry about water leaks! 

Thomas M. from New Richland, MN had water seeping into his basement that was coming up through his floor. He had tried temporary ways to seal the water off, but those quick fixes never lasted, and he continued to have a wet basement each time it rained. After researching professional waterproofing contractors, Thomas decided to call American Waterworks to receive a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. Thomas was pleased with Mac’s plan to waterproof his basement, so they scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement and a TripleSafe sump pump that was connected to the drainage system. The TripleSafe is our most reliable pump because it has three pumps and it is protected with a battery backup. The WaterGuard properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is expelled from the home through the discharge line. Thomas is thrilled that his basement has been a dry, healthier space since having our system installed.
