American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Joe, a homeowner in Nevis, MN, realized that his crawl spaces needed attention. Inadequate or incorrect crawl space insulation can cause a number of comfort and energy problems. Specifically, with musty smells, mold, and moisture issues, Joe decided he needed to call American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Kole, headed to the property to inspect each of the three crawl spaces.

Following the inspection, Kole made his recommendations and answered all questions, and Joe made an appointment to implement the solutions.

 Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew began the project by clearing debris and readying the spaces for installation. They then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water Issues. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier installed right onto the problem walls and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. This also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. The crew also used spray foam to seal and waterproof the homeowner's crawl space. Our spray foam is designed to keep the heat inside and prevent cool air from coming in. Joe was grateful for the support and guidance of American Waterworks in protecting his home!

Jessica S. of Goodridge, MN had water leaking into her basement, making her worry about the safety and health of her home. She heard about American Waterworks and called our front office to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to her home her, inspected her problems, and came up with a solution that fit her needs and budget. Jessica was comfortable with Ian's proposal and presentation, so she went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

To begin the project, our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs, collect water seepage from basement walls, and act as an underground drainage system that leads to the sump pump. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and humidity build-up, and give the basement a neat and clean appearance. To complete the project, Corey and his team covered the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Jessica was happy with the repairs and loved the transformation! 

Aaron S. of Goodridge, MN had sagging floors falling into his basement, causing him to be nervous about the structural stability of his home. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Richie, went to Aaron's house, inspected his sagging floors, and determined a solution that would fit Aaron's needs. Aaron was confident in the proposal of our SmartJacks, so he signed Aaron's proposal and went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production crew installed eight of our SmartJacks to lift and level the sagging floor joists. Over time, this system can be tightened by the homeowner to ensure it is sticking to its design. The installation took two days and Aaron had a wonderful experience with our team!

A homeowner in Goodridge, MN, noticed a musty odor throughout their home. After some investigating, the homeowner discovered the odor was coming from their crawl space. Knowing this was a bad sign, the homeowner began looking for a company that could provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "musty crawl space repair near me," and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist. The Design Specialist promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection. After wrapping up the estimate, the Design Specialist recommended fully encapsulating the crawl space. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with the Design Specialist to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Foreman, Aaron, and his crew. A few weeks later, Aaron and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, the crew isntalled Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. After the Drainage Matting was secured, the crew installed CleanSpace on top of the Drainage Matting. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. American Waterworks is glad to encapsulate its customers' musty, wet crawl spaces. 

Jerry, from Pierz, MN began to notice cracks in the foundation walls of her home. The cracks in the wall resulted in the cracks that are caused within the foundation allowing water to seep through causing a wet basement. When foundation walls begin to buckle, bow or tilt inward, homeowners are correct to be alarmed. Outside pressure from soil and water can actually cause foundation walls to collapse!

Jerry smartly contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks, expressing his major concern, and claimed his FREE estimate entitling him to a full home inspection. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist Shane then attended the home and began a thorough home inspection to get a proper diagnosis of the situation and provide the best solutions to help not only solve the issue but prevent any other issues from arising. Once the inspection was done, Shane recommended that Jerry should invest in our PowerBrace Wall System.  He agreed with the solution and proceeded to schedule a date of installation.

Once set, our Foreman, Jeromy, and his crew began to strategically place PowerBraces around the basement, inserting a total of 12, 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. Now Jerry lives worry-free that the foundation of his home is in jeopardy of worsening. If you are experiencing a similar issue, contact American Waterworks today and claim your FREE estimate!!
