High Radon Levels Mitigated in Roseville, MN

A homeowner in Roseville, MN, recently came upon a social media post discussing the health risks radon poses in homes. She learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, a naturally occurring radioactive element that can be found when soil decays, making it unavoidable as it creates a high toxic level in the air we breathe. Worried that her family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, she decided to purchase a radon testing kit, and after several days, the test results were above 4pCi/L. The homeowner decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home to analyze where the radon mitigation system would be installed. He informed the homeowner that our system would be installed at the lowest level of the home. This is done so that it can suck out the radon-rich air and spew it outdoors. The homeowner was grateful for Kyle's explanation and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing a PVC pipe beneath the footing. The pipe would then connect to the radon mitigation system that is installed outside of the home. After they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer and her family can breathe in fresh air! When was the last time you tested the radon levels of your home? Click HERE and schedule your FREE estimate today!

Damp Basement Gets Waterproofed in Roseville, MN

A homeowner in Roseville, MN was concerned when he noticed standing water and that the moisture levels in his basement were at high levels. He decided to look into basement waterproofing in the area and found out website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was pleased with our before and after transformations and decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Lance S., arrived at the home to give a proper inspection of the basement. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of a leaking basement is a failed footing drain. When this fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water would then enter through cracks in the walls, between the wall and the footing, and underneath the footing. For this reason, Lance recommended our WaterGuard, CleanSpace, SuperSump+, and IceGuard. Our WaterGuard is a below-the-floor drain system that intercepts water at the perimeter of the basement and ejects it away. Our CleanSpace is our vapor wall barrier that is designed to prevent water from permeating the walls and move any water leaks to the drain system. Our SuperSump+ is a reliable sump pump capable of removing 2,220 gallons of water per hour. Lastly, our IceGuard is our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipe freezes or becomes clogged. The homeowner reviewed Lance's proposal and happily agreed to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Luis D., arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing 140sqft of CleanSpace by attaching them to the wall using drilled-in fasteners. They also installed 25ft of WaterGuard and 1 IceGuard. Lastly, the crew installed the SuperSump+ ensuring it is connected to the WaterGuard and IceGuard. Once they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can trust that his basement will remain dry for many years to come! Have you noticed wet floors or leaking walls? Don't worry and click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate!

The homeowner looked into “heaving concrete repair near me” and one of the first companies to populate was us, American Waterworks. After seeing our award-winning concrete lifting and leveling services, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project.

The homeowner agreed with Tony’s recommendations, then Tony passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project for a few weeks later. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Patrick and his crew started by installing PolyLevel underneath the sidewalk.  Once the sidewalk was properly lifted, the crew shifted to repairing the crack with NexusPro.

Leaking Basement in Shoreview, MN Waterproofed

A homeowner in Shoreview, MN, noticed multiple issues with his basement, such as weeping walls, standing water and efflorescence, a white residue caused by salt deposits left behind from evaporated water leaks. Worried those issues would lead to permanent damage to his home, he decided to search for "basement waterproofing near me" and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home to assess the basement. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of a damp basement is a failed footing drain. When this becomes clogged and fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then enters through cracks in the wall, between the footing and the wall, or under the footing. During Daniel's inspection, he noticed that the current sump pump was out of date and kept it in mind when he designed a proposal for the homeowner. Daniel recommended our WaterGuard, a below-the-floor perimeter drain system that effectively collects water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away, CleanSpace, a vapor wall barrier that stops water vapor from permeating the walls, IceGuard, our discharge line system that will not freeze unlike traditional discharge lines, and Zoeller M53 pump that is capable of removing 2,220 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing Daniel's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Field Supervisor, Cole B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by attaching 74ft of the CleanSpace vapor wall barrier to the basement walls using drilled-in fasteners. Then, the crew installed 74ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and ensured it was connected to the sump pump system. They also installed 1 IceGuard before replacing the pump with our Zoeller M53. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing his basement will remain dry all year long! Are you experiencing something similar? Click HERE and schedule your FREE estimate with one of our experts!
