American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Susan was looking to purchase a home in Gackle, ND. However, the house sale was contingent upon the foundation being addressed. While the project was more work than Susan anticipated for the sale, our team was able to work with her and her realtor to find a solution that worked well for her and the home. 

First, our Design Specialist, Kole, went to the home to address the situation with a complete walkthrough. Once complete, he went over the plan with the client; she agreed and set a time for our crew to get to work.

Our Foreman, and crew began the project by breaking out a big hole in the concrete floor. In the hole, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System with three levels of protection to solve all water problems a the homeowner may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. Our team covered the small, open gaps with river rock to complete the installation and applied new concrete. To direct water away from the home's foundation so that it would not leak back into the basement, the team added a standard discharge line from the South end of the basement. 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 the home and ejects water away from the foundation if the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged.

Next, our team addressed the foundational issues by strategically placing PowerBraces around the basement, inserting 11, 9' PowerBraces to stabilize the wall further. The PowerBrace system is an I-shaped beam that stabilizes and helps straighten the bow of the wall over time. The PowerBrace system is drilled into the support beams of the home and the concrete on which the home lies. The PowerBrace™ can be installed with no disruption to outside soils or landscaping. This foundation wall system installs quickly in your home, immediately and permanently halting the inward movement of your foundation walls. The team also worked to install 7 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. GeoLock Wall Anchors permanently stabilize foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation.

The facility at a local elementary school in Kulm, ND, was concerned their stairs were becoming a tripping hazard. Hoping to avoid injuries, the facility knew they needed to have an expert repair the sinking stairs. Unsure who to work with, the facility began looking into concrete repair companies near Kilm, ND. One of the highest-rated companies was us, American Waterworks, so the facility decided to take a closer look at our services. Impressed with our work, the facility knew we were the best choice for their situation. The facility called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists to the home to begin the detailed inspection. Once the Design Specialist arrived, they introduced himself to the facility and began his thorough investigation of the exterior concrete. During their investigation, the Design Specialist found that the affected stairs were sinking due to settlement. To stop the settlement from continuing, the Design Specialist recommended lifting and leveling the concrete back into place. Knowing this was their best option, the facility agreed. Next, the Design Specialist passed the plans along to our office to give the final stamp of approval. Once they were approved, the proposal was assigned to our Foreman, Charlie, and his crew. Charlie and his crew traveled to the home and started the project. First, Charlie and his crew lifted the stairs with PolyLevel, our polyurethane foam injection solution. Once the stairs were lifted, the crew shifted their focus to repairing the joints at the base of the steps using NexusPro. Charlie and his crew completed the installation, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The school was relieved to know their tripping hazard was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to assist any facility with sinking steps. 

A homeowner in Robinson, ND, knew it was time to repair their wall after discovering it was beginning to separate. Distressed by this discovery, the homeowner frantically searched for wall separation repair near Robinson, ND. One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar reviews and products, the homeowner knew we were the company for them. The homeowner went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Dylan. Following his arrival, Dylan began his thorough investigation of the interior and exterior foundation. During his inspection, Dylan confirmed the wall was nearing failure and desperately needed repairs. Once he made this discovery, Dylan was able to provide a solution for the homeowner. After hearing Dylan's proposal, the homeowner knew this was their best option, so they agreed. Next, Dylan passed the plans to our office to build the project. Once the project was built, it was assigned to our Foreman, Emmanuel, and his crew to begin. Emmanuel and his crew arrived at the home and began the foundation product installation. First, Emmanuel and his crew installed EverBrace along the failing walls. EverBrace is a product that is only sold in our North Dakota territory. In addition to EverBrace, the homeowner installed PowerBraces on the other walls to further stabilize the foundation. After the PowerBraces were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was permanently stabilized. American Waterworks is delighted to provide homeowners peace of mind knowing their home's foundation is secure. 

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.

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.
