American Waterworks Before & After Photos

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.

After searching for "water in basement repair near me" and finding us, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In about a week, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, they took note of the areas where water leaks could be seen and tested the humidity levels and sump pump. After reporting their findings, our Design Specialist began working on a custom solution to waterproof their basement. They recommended installing WaterGuard, our interior drain system that directs water leaks to the sump pump, TripleSafe, our reliable sump system capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, IceGuard, our discharge system that allows water to escape during freezing temperatures; and Aprilaire, our strong dehumidifier to control the humidity levels. Happy to have a lasting solution backed by strong warranties, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

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! 

Lorelle J. from Paynesville, MN was experiencing excess water build-up due to the old sump pump that was installed in the home. This water build-up was damaging other parts of her home including the foundation. Lorelle then contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks to claim her FREE estimate entitling her to a free home inspection. Once an appointment was scheduled,  our Design Specialist then attended the home and began a thorough inspection of the home and the perimeter of the home to properly diagnose the issues Lorelle is experiencing and provide a proper solution that would not only eliminate the issue but prevent any other issues from arising. Once the inspection was completed our Design Specialist recommended that Lorrelle replace the old sump pump and invest in the TripleSafe Sump Pump system that we offer here at American WaterWorks. Lorelle agreed and proceeded to schedule a date of installation. 

Our Foreman, Julio Murillo, and his designated crew then proceeded with the installation process by taking out the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with the Triple-Safe Sump Pump System. The Triple-Safe Sump Pump System has three levels of protection which solves all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the Triple-Safe Sump Pump comes a battery backup which helps in the case of a power outage, keeping the basement dry and secure. To finish the job the crew proceeded to fill the gaps with engineer fill to prevent any sediment from entering the sump pump basket and affecting the pumps. Once backfilled the team then proceeds to put a layer of concrete to provide a finishing look. Lorelle was happy with the job and had a great experience with the production crew!!
