American Waterworks Before & After Photos

An Albert Lea, MN, homeowner had been dealing with an issue with his basement walls for some time now. He had observed several stairstep cracks forming on the walls, as well as one wall bowing inward. He knew he had to act fast to fix the issue, so he began to look for a foundation contractor in MN. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dustin A, headed out to the home. 

Dustin completed his inspection, and when he finished, he informed the homeowner that he believed we could fix the issue with the help of our PowerBraces. The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner liked the sound of Dustin's plan, so he signed on the spot. 

The day of the project eventually rolled around. Our Foreman, Jesus M, led his team through the successful installation of 5 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his foundation worries are in the past! 

A homeowner from Albert Lea, MN, was chatting with his neighbor one day when he learned his neighbors had their home tested and mitigated for radon gas. The homeowner didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas but decided to find a specialist in the area to ease his concerns. When he found our website, he was impressed with the previous radon systems we had installed in his area and decided to claim his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Brad W, one of our Design Specialists, was headed to the home. 

When Brad headed out to the home, the first step in his process was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. Brad explained that the point of the test is to record the levels of radon in the home over a 48-hour timeframe, and at the end, deliver the average level of radon within the home. Brad went on to say that if the test came back with a level higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider installing a radon mitigation system. Brad explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan but decided to wait until the radon results returned. When the test results came back, they were well above the recommended 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner and Brad worked together to find the right date for the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to effortlessly install the mitigation system in the home. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that his home is only circulating the cleanest air! 

A homeowner in Albert Lea, MN, had grown concerned for her driveway as it was uneven and formed large cracks. She was worried this would be a tripping hazard for her friends and family, so she decided to search for "Concrete repair services near me" and found our website. After browsing our website, she was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Tony B., arrived at the home and conducted a thorough inspection of the driveway. He informed the homeowner that those issues were common due to soil washout. When it rains heavily or floods, water moves through the ground under the concrete slabs. It then washes away the support soils holding up the concrete and creates space underneath the slab. As this continues, the concrete begins to sink and eventually leads to cracks in one or more parts of the slab. For this reason, Tony recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete, NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints, and SealantPro to protect the surface. The homeowner was thankful for his explanation and decided to move forward with the project. Tony's design was then sent to our Foreman, Ryan T., to apply the sealant and Sam K. to lift the concrete and seal the joints and cracks. 

In about a month, Ryan T. and his crew arrived at the home to apply the sealant. Our SealantPro is designed to protect the concrete from water, gas, and oil from penetrating the surface. Once Ryan and his crew were done with the application, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. In a couple of weeks, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived to carry out the rest of the installation. They began by drilling small holes into the concrete slab and installing the injection ports. Once the injection ports were installed, they injected PolyLevel beneath the slab. The crew ensures that the concrete slab is leveled even before sealing the small holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew seals the cracks and joints using NexusPro. After they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Albert Lea, MN, noticed that her sump pump system had been struggling to remove water during storms and was concerned her home would face water damage. The homeowner decided to take action by looking into basement waterproofing in the area and found us. After browsing our website and growing impressed with our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Dylan W., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection and create a proposal with the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Dylan ran a few tests on the sump pump before confirming that it had broken. Dylan recommended TripleSafe, our top-of-the-line sump pump system that comes with three levels of protection, to replace the sump pump, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the pipes freeze. The homeowner happily agreed to Dylan's recommendation and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Diego B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 1 TripleSafe sump system at the corner of the basement and 2 IceGuards. Once they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

An Albert Lea, MN, homeowner knew his sump system was due for an upgrade. The system would often run, even when excess wasn't present, and it was beginning to make unusual sounds. The homeowner turned to the internet to search for 'sump pump replacement near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. He set up his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brian R, was headed out to the home.

When Brian arrived, he got right to work assessing the old system. When he completed his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Brian stated that the homeowner was right to be concerned about the system, adding that it was due for an upgrade. Brian recommended our SuperSump sump pump. An effective and economical solution to basement water. It's engineered to help keep he basement dry and healthy for extended periods, 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 house at a 9-foot head out of your basement. Brian then went on to recommend our UltraSump battery backup, an addition that keeps the system functioning even during the loss of power. The battery backup can pump out 11,500 gallons or more in a single charge. The homeowner liked the sound of Brian's plan, and the two worked together to find a date for the installation. 

A month later, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team successfully installed the SuperSump in the basement of the home. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing his basement is well protected!
