American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Laura, a homeowner in Medina, ND, was worried about the state of her basement. Living in an older home, she noticed signs of water intrusion and potential foundation issues. She feared she would risk compromising the home's structural integrity if she left the issue unresolved. When she called in, we set her up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended how we could help. Laura was confident in the plan, and an installation date was set.

The plan was to use our GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. This innovative system permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. Additionally, the anchors can be tightened over time. 

Our Foreman, Tanner, and his crew installed 18 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement; five each on the East and West sides, and four each on the North and South sides. When the work was done, Laura was happy to know that her basement walls were no longer an issue. 

A homeowner in Crystal Springs, ND, grew concerned after noticing damp spots throughout their basement. Worried about the long-term damage, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. The homeowner looked into "wet basement repair near me" and one of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our impressive services, the homeowner knew we were the best company for the job. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Ian. Following his arrival, Ian began the thorough investigation of the property. During his inspection, Ian found several areas where the water was sneaking into the home. To stop the water from continuing to enter the home, Ian recommended installing several waterproofing products. After considering all their options, the homeowner knew this was best for their home. After he received the homeowner's approval, Ian sent the plans to our Logistics team. Once the plans were approved by our Logistics team, they scheduled the project with our Foreman, Roel, and his crew. Roel and his crew traveled to Crystal Springs and began the waterproofing installation. First, Roel and his crew installed the WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Next, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. Finally, the crew went outside and attached an IceGuard to the outside discharge discharge line. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by Roel and his crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their customers peace of mind knowing their basement is dry and secure. 

If a crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues will extend to every part of the home. Alfred, from Ellendale, ND, was beginning to fear that his unstable crawl space was causing issues throughout the rest of his home and wanted to make sure that the issue was corrected before any more damage could be done. 

After deciding on our company, Alfred gave us a call, and we set him up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how we could help. 

We explained that the home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. Our recommendations were approved, and so we got to work! Our Foreman, Cameron, and his team worked diligently to install a variety of products. First up was our Aprilaire Dehumidifier, which reduces the humidity levels, musty smells, and odors, as well as makes the home drier and more comfortable. Next, our Foamax Wall Panels were installed, which is a foam insulation that is a great investment and brightens the entire basement. Then, the crew sprayed the remaining points of entry with our SprayFoam. Finally, Cameron installed our PowerBrace wall repair system to fix the wall. He explained that 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. He went on to say that the steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment and that, over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know he no longer had to worry about a faulty crawl space affecting the rest of his home! 

A homeowner in Jud, ND, was putting items in storage when they discovered a crack along the east and south walls. To prevent the crack from growing further, the homeowner searched for a resolution. While perusing through multiple foundation repair companies, American Waterworks' high reviews caught the homeowner's eye. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and we sent out a Design Specialist, Kole, to survey the situation. Kole completed the survey and recommended that the two affected walls be stabilized. The homeowner agreed and requested that the crew attempt to straighten the walls. Our Foreman, Kevin, and his crew were ready to start the project. Before the start, the homeowner was asked to dig the east and south walls out. The crew started by installing the Geolocks in the south and east wall. After installing the Geolocks, the crew straightened the walls as much as they could. After the Geolocks were successfully put in place, the crew installed SilverGo and Sentry Seal on the affected walls. Once the job was complete, the crew cleaned up and left with another satisfied customer. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!

John, a homeowner in Cleveland, ND needed a solution for his basement water issues.

He needed assistance accurately diagnosing the cause of water intrusion, musty odors, and mildew in the basement and wanted a reliable waterproofing system to eliminate these problems and create lasting peace of mind. He researched and decided to call us for a FREE estimate to understand our possible solutions. Our Foreman traveled to his home to take a look around. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to recommend a plan to transform the basement into a healthy, clean space.

First, the team did a half-wall demo in the northeast corner of the basement to more effectively install our WaterGuard solution. They then began breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System along the basement's North, East, and South walls where issues were present. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. To complete the WaterGuard project, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. The crew then added CleanSpace to encapsulate the basement to prevent moisture and mold from affecting the rest of the foundation. There was also a small room under a stoop that the team fully wrapped with CleanSpace in order to protect the area best. Next, to direct water away from the home's foundation so that it would not leak back into the basement, the team added a 30-foot discharge line from the North end of the basement near the stoop, through the TripleSafe Sump Pump out into the yard. The team also implemented our LawnScape Outlet, which is a pipe buried from the downspout that lets water outside onto the surface of the lawn while camouflaging the end of the pipe. The lid comes off for easy cleaning, minimizing maintenance for your home. Furthermore, American Waterworks can help prevent wintertime freeze-up of discharge lines. We installed the patented IceGuard® system, an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of your home and ejects water away from the foundation if the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know that his basement had been transformed, and he no longer had to worry about water intrusion!
