American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A Thief River Falls, MN, homeowner had been aware of several cracks in his foundation for some time now. He was beginning to think about reselling his home and knew that he had to have the problem fixed before he could list his home. He began to look for MN foundation repair, quickly found us, and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan J, headed out to the home. He completed a full inspection of the foundation and then met with the homeowner. He began by stating that foundation walls are not designed to withstand pressure on the side of the wall. So when the pressure being exerted ends up being more than the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, tilting in at the top, and/or sliding in at the bottom. Dylan went on to say that he was recommending our GeoLock wall anchors, an innovative system that counteracts the pressure on the wall by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation. Dylan finished by saying that this system is able to be tightened over time to move through the next stages of the home's life. The homeowner was thrilled with Dylan's recommendation and signed on the spot. 

A month or so later, our Foreman, Kingsley C, and his team were in the basement installing the anchors. When they finished, they had successfully installed 8 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Now, our customer can list his home with confidence! 

A Town Home association in Delano, MN had a situation where water was leaking into the basement of a tenant’s Town House. They reassured that tenant that they would resolve the situation as quickly as possible, so they contacted American Waterworks to waterproof the basement.

When our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, entered the basement to provide them with a FREE estimate, he discovered that their old sump pump had failed and that had caused the wet basement. Chad developed a thorough waterproofing plan that was the most beneficial for the townhome association as well as the tenant living there.

Our production team installed our Iron Oaker drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump. The drainage system properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and out of the townhome. The installation process took two days, but since our waterproofing system is guaranteed for a lifetime, the townhome association can rest easy knowing they chose the right long-term solution.

Donnie A., the President of a townhome association in Delano, MN, had previously met with one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, and was impressed with his professionalism and the products American Waterworks has to offer. So, when the townhome association started seeing issues with sinking concrete, he knew Chad was the guy to call. Chad presented Donnie with our PolyLevel concrete repair option, and Donnie was glad to learn that PolyLevel is a more durable, non-invasive alternative to mudjacking or total concrete replacement with a much quicker installation and cure time. The board approved of the plan and moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Brandon Wiskow, and Co-Foreman, Tyler Brockway, drilled small holes throughout the concrete slabs that needed to be raised. Next, they injected the foam into the holes until the slabs were raised back to their original position. They covered up the holes with concrete and then sealed the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. The board members and homeowners were thrilled with the results and happy they can enjoy beautiful and level concrete for years to come! 

Tom and Jamie A. of Delano, MN were looking for a contractor that could level and repair their sidewalk. They got in contact with our company and requested a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist went to their home, inspected their sunken and cracked concrete, and determined a solution that would work for them and their budget. Tom and Jamie were comfortable with our company and presentation, so they signed the proposal. 

Our Foreman and his crew started the project by injecting our PolyLevel underneath the concrete to lift and stabilize the concrete surface. This product is a special foam that fills the voids underneath the concrete that are caused by soil erosion. Next, our crew applied our NexusPro over the cracks to prevent moisture from seeping underneath and to give the concrete a clean, neat appearance. 

Tom and Jamie were happy with the work and said our crew did a great job!

Jim M from Delano, MN noticed that his sump pump system was not draining the water efficiently causing constant water build-up. This was worrisome for Jim since he had appliances near the sump pump system that potentially damage his valuables. Jim got in contact with our Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled his FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Kyle H. Kyle headed out to Jim's property and began a thorough inspection of the home to obtain a proper diagnosis of the home and prevent any other issues from arising. Kyle proposed to Jim that the best solution to the issues he is experiencing is to invest in our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump System has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner, may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home, then the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. 

Jim agreed with the proposal and scheduled the date of installation. Our Foreman and his team then arrived at the property and began the process by tearing out the pre-existing sump pump, the team then inserts a new sump basket that helps provide not only a cleaner look but protects the pumps from being damaged by soil. Once the new sump basket is installed the TripleSafe Sump Pumps are then installed and ready to go. Once the job is done the production team then places a new layer of concrete around the TripleSafe to provide a cleaner and more finishing look. Jim was happy with the work and had a great experience with our production crew!
