A Northfield, MN, homeowner was facing an issue with his basement. Each time it rained, the homeowner was left with standing water in his space due to leaky walls. He took to the internet to search for 'basement leak repair near me' and quickly found the American Waterworks website. He was impressed with our reviews and photo sets and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate.
Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dustin L, was headed out to the home to perform his inspection. At the end of his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to inform him that we had a solution to his damp basement nightmares. Dustin recommended a combination of our products. First, he recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% tarp-like material that gets installed directly to the unfinished walls of the basement, functioning to catch water entering through holes and cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into our perimeter drain, WaterGuard. This unique French drain is inconspicuously installed below the floor of the basement, atop the footing of the foundation, and works to give the water draining down the wall from the CleanSpace, and water entering through floor joints, a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Dustin had noted that the basement lacked a sump system, so he recommended our SuperSump plus sump system, an affordable yet effective means of riding your basement of unwanted water. The homeowner needed some time to think about Dustin's proposal but ended up calling back a week or so later to set a date for installation.
About a month later, our Foreman, Luis D, and his team were in the basement of the home installing our systems. When they had finished, the team had effortlessly placed 50ft of WaterGuard, 1 SuperSump plus sump pump, and 47 ft of CleanSpace. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing his basement is properly defended against water!

A homeowner in Northfield, MN, saw a documentary discussing the dangers of radon. Radon is an invisible, odorless, and tasteless gas that can only be detected by testing. Additionally, there have been over 20,000 lung cancer-related deaths each year. Worried there was a large risk in their home, the homeowner knew they needed to test the levels in their home. Knowing they needed a professional, the homeowner began looking into "radon testing near me". One of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our radon mitigation services, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on the website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Nathan. A few weeks later, Nathan arrived at the home and started the appointment. First, Nathan set up and began the radon test. While the radon test was being completed, Nathan began searching for the best place to install the Radon Mitigation System. Once the test was completed, Nathan confirmed the home was testing high for radon. After sharing the news with the homeowner, Nathan recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System on the side of the home. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Nathan's recommendations. After receiving the homeowner's stamp of approval, Nathan sent the plans to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the plans, then they were assigned to our Foreman, Dakota, and his crew. A few weeks later, Daktoa traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Dakota and his crew started by ensuring the space was ready for installation. Next, Dakota and his crew began by installing the Radon Mitigation System. The Radon Mitigation System is designed depending on the structure of your home. Once the Radon Mitigation System was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their radon risk was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners with peace of mind.
Denise J. of Fort Ripley, MN had water leaking from her foundation walls into her basement, making her worry about stained walls, water damage, and flooding hazards. She got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to her home to carefully inspect the walls and come up with a solution that fit her home repair needs and budget. Denise was confident in Chad's proposal and was content with the products and their warranties, so she went ahead with the project.
Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is the most common waterproofing repair product we provide for homeowners. It serves as an underground drain in connection with the sump pump, it prevents water and mud clogs, and it collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent mold build-up, humidity growth, and guide water into the WaterGuard. To complete the project, Raul and his team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Denise was happy with the work that was done and was impressed by the transformation from start to finish!

Patricia H. in Waltham, MN was tired of dealing with her sunken, uneven driveway and walkway around her home. She contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Kevin Beseman, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique concrete repair solution. Patricia was impressed with our 3 part Concrete Protection System and Kevin’s presentation, so she moved forward with the project.
Our concrete repair experts drilled small holes into the concrete to inject a polymer foam called PolyLevel. Once the foam is injected into the concrete, the foam expands and raises it. They injected the foam into multiple spots throughout the driveway and sidewalk until the concrete was raised and level to its original position. Then, they sealed the cracks with our NexusPro sealant to protect the concrete and give it a nice, finished look. Lastly, they used our SealantPro to seal the concrete, restoring quality and protecting against UV, weather, oil and water damage for 3 to 5 times longer than other concrete sealants. Patricia was pleased with the results and is looking forward to enjoying her newly restored concrete for years to come!
