Water Leaking in Basement Gets Waterproofed in Saint Paul, MN

A homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, had a flooded basement and wanted to address the issue immediately before it led to further damage to his home. He began searching for basement waterproofing in the area and found our website. After browsing through our website, the homeowner grew impressed with our 5-star reviews and before-and-after photos. Confident we would do the job well, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection of the home, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. He informed the homeowner that their current sump pump was not working properly, as it could not remove excess water efficiently. After inspecting the home, our Design Specialist recommended WaterGuard, our below-the-floor perimeter drain system that intercepts water and sends it away safely, CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that collects water leaks and sends it to the drain system, Foamax, our advanced polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel to control humidity, our TripleSafe, our top-of-the-line sump pump system that comes with 3 levels of protection, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to leave in case the sump pump line freezes. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the installation date. 

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 125ft of WaterGuard, 110ft of Foamax, 15ft of CleanSpace, 2 IceGuard, and 1 TripleSafe sump pump. After everything was properly installed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer has a basement that will remain dry for many years to come! Have you noticed water leaking in your basement? Click HERE today and schedule your FREE estimate!

Foundation Wall Restoration in White Bear Lake, MN

This home's foundation in Bear Lake, MN was cracking and beginning to bow. The home was older and needed some foundation help. So they contacted us to assess the problem.

Damp CrawlSpace in White Bear Lake, MN

A real estate agent in White Bear Lake, MN reached out to American Waterworks after a homeowner was struggling to sell their previous home.  

American Waterworks recommended installing CleanSpace, a crawl space vapor barrier, because it is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve a home.  Along with the protection from mold and rot, a dry crawl space can free their home of insects and other pests that need excess moisture to survive.  Mice and rats are deterred by the plastic vapor barrier, and flooding waters will be kept at bay.  

Sunken Concrete Gets Lifted in White Bear Lake, MN

A homeowner from White Bear Lake, MN, got in touch with us when he noticed a large trip hazard on the concrete in front of his home. He had been aware that the concrete was slowly sinking over time but knew fixing it sooner rather than later would be in his best interest. He began his search for MN concrete repair companies and found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, headed out to the home. 

Once Kyle completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his findings. Kyle explained that concrete can sink for a variety of reasons, but whatever the reason, we could help restore the concrete using our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath sinking concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the slab back into place. Kyle went on to say that when the lift is complete, our team will go in with our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to all cracks and joints in the concrete and works to prevent moisture from getting below the slab. The homeowner agreed and scheduled the work for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Troy W, and his team completed the lift and level with no issues. Now, our customer can enjoy their outdoors without worries of trip hazards!

Sunken Walkway Gets a Lift in Minneapolis, MN

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was growing tired of her front walkway. The walkway had been sinking for years, creating numerous trip hazards and leading to the growth of numerous weeds between the slabs. She didn't want the issue to persist, so she took to the internet to search for concrete repair Minneapolis. When she found our website, she decided to claim her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Gary S, our Design Specialist, was headed out to the home. 

Once Gary finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to let him know that we could address the problem with the help of our PolyLevel. He explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath a sinking concrete slab. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, and in the process, it lifts the sunken slabs back to their desired location. Gary went on to say that, once the lift had been completed, he was recommending the installation of our NexusPro; a silicone-based sealant that gets applied to the cracks and joints in the concrete. It works to protect the vulnerable soil below, as it is specifically designed to stand up against harsh weather conditions. The homeowner liked the sound of Gary's plan, and scheduled the job for some time later. 

When the installation date rolled around, one of our concrete Foremen, Troy J, headed out to the home. He and his team were able to complete the lift in no time, and now, our customer can enjoy her refreshed concrete!
