A homeowner in Detroit Lakes, MN became worried about the state of her crawl space after a heavy rainfall. After checking the space, she found some water damage and figured something was up with the current sump pump and how much water it was pumping. She quickly went online to find a service that could find if that was the root of the problem and to offer a solution for the space. The homeowner found the American Waterworks website in her searching and decided to choose us because of our positive reviews from previous customers. She signed up for a FREE estimate with us and was later greeted by one of our Design Specialists, Kole Lefebvre. Kole found that the pump in the wet crawl space was indeed the problem. He explained that installing our WaterGuard system would help to intercept the water in the crawl space and send it away to a new TripleSafe pump to prevent more damage and from it leaking into the home. The homeowner agreed to the plans and was eager for the project to begin. Our Foreman and his crew arrived at the site and installed both products. They ensured everything was working properly and the homeowner was very impressed with the work that was done.

A homeowner in Detroit Lakes, MN, noticed a dip when entering their garage. Worried this could cause serious damage to their car, the homeowner began looking into "concrete lifting and leveling near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to go ahead and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, James. Once the appointment date arrived, James traveled to the home and started the detailed inspection. During the inspection, James found that several areas were suffering from settlement. To prevent this issue from worsening, James recommended installing PolyLevel to lift the area back to its original position. The homeowner agreed and worked with James to find the best installation date. As soon as the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Charlie, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Charlie and his crew started by installing PolyLevel below the sinking concrete. Once the PolyLevel was fully installed, the crew shifted to taking out the old joints and replacing them with NexusPro, a silicone-based solution. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowenr was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew.
A homeowner from Detroit Lakes, MN, was down in her heated crawl space arranging some boxes when she did a double take. One of her crawl space walls appeared to be tilting inward. The homeowner was in the process of prepping her home for sale and knew a bowed foundation wall would not make the cut. She began to search for local crawl space repair in Detroit Lakes, and quickly found American Waterworks. She was impressed with our years in business, numerous awards, and 4.8/5 star rating on Google, so she decided to claim her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Derek Wang, one of our Fargo Design Specialists, was headed out to her home. When Derek arrived, he was lead to the crawl space where he began his evaluation. When he finished his comprehensive estimate he met with the homeowner to go over his findings.
Derek began by commending the homeowner for getting help. He said that a large majority of people would wait to address the issue, which would end up costing more money in the long run. Derek went on to say that foundation walls are designed to withstand the load of your home from above. When too much pressure is put on the side of the wall, the wall becomes weakened, leading to cracks, bowing, tilting, and foundation shifting. Derek stated that the solution was our GeoLock wall anchors. This innovative system stabilizes failing walls by anchoring it to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, providing a less-intrusive and messy option over full replacement of the wall. The homeowner was glad to know that the fix wasn't extremely invasive or time consuming, and decided to schedule the basement wall anchors on the spot.
A month later, our Foreman, Nanga M, and his crew effortlessly installed 8 of our GeoLock anchors within the crawl space, effectively putting an end to our customers concerns and allowing her to list her home on the market with no reservations.

Dean S. of Paynesville, MN had an uneven and cracked front porch, causing him to worry about the appearance and value of his home. He got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jesse Williams. Jesse went to his home, inspected his porch, and came up with a solution. Dean was comfortable with Jesse's proposal of our PolyLevel and NexusPro, so he moved forward with the project.
Our Foreman, Dylon Mish, and his crew member injected our PolyLevel to raise the sidewalk to the meet the porch. Our PolyLevel is a special, expanding foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and to raise and stabilize the concrete surface. Next, our crew applied our NexusPro over the cracks. Not only does our NexusPro provide a clean and neat appearance, but it prevents moisture from seeping into the soil beneath the concrete and it stands up to harsh weather conditions.
Dean was happy with the repairs and loves the new view!
