American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Randy, a homeowner in Shevlin, MN, was experiencing water in his basement due to cracked block work. He decided to look around for options on solutions and after his FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie, headed to the property for an inspection. Richie found that Randy needed solutions that addressed both water and foundation issues. Following the inspection, Richie made his recommendations and answered all questions, and Randy made an appointment to implement solutions.

First, our Foreman Raul and his crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage 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.

Next up was our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a 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. Once the job is done, the production team then places a new layer of concrete around the TripleSafe to provide a cleaner and more finished look.

Then, they installed a discharge line from the sump pump to our IceGuard System outside of the home. The IceGuard is a waterproofing system that provides an extra block of protection against basement flooding, especially when freezing temperatures are problematic. 

The team also installed 8 GeoLock Anchors by digging holes outside the home and installing a metal rod in each hole going through the foundation. After installing a metal rod they proceeded to attach one of the GeoLock Anchors to the end of the rod, allowing the wall to be pulled back to its original position.  Over time, these anchors may be tightened to ensure the rods are effective and stabilize the home's structure. After the installation, the production crew backfilled the holes and replaces the soil to its original look.

They then went to work installing 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.

Randy loved the new and improved space and is happy that the foundation of his home is in no longer in any danger!

David, who owns a cabin in Shevlin, MN, noticed some issues with his basement space. Unfortunately, the block wall on the east side of the home was cracking and bowing. He contacted us as he realized these were signs of failing. He feared he might risk compromising the home's structural integrity if he left the issue unresolved. When he called in, we set him up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after his appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. After Ian completed a thorough walkthrough, he explained how our team would properly address the issue.

Ian talked to David about installing our GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. He explained that this innovative system permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that the anchors can be tightened over time. David agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Tanner, and his crew headed out to the cabin and got to work. The team installed 75of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement wall. They discussed with David that it is recommended to use the tightening kit every 4-6 weeks and that we would be in contact in 9-12 months to schedule his 1st Annual Maintenance. At the end of the project, David was happy to know that his basement walls were no longer an issue. 

Wally D.'s walkout basement slab and patio were uneven, causing him to worry about the livelihood of his concrete. He got in contact with our team after doing some research on HomeAdvisor. Our office staff scheduled him with a FREE, no-obligation estimate for our Design Specialist to come to Wally's home and inspect his concrete. After a thorough inspection, Wally got all of his questions answered based on our proposal, so he signed our proposal and got a date scheduled for the project.

Our Foreman and his team began the project by injecting our PolyLevel underneath the concrete, which is made to lift and stabilize the surface. Next, our crew applied our NexusPro over the cracks to give the concrete a nice, clean finish. It also prevents water moisture from invading the soil underneath the concrete. Wally was very happy with the work that was done and loved the new view of his concrete patio.

Wally D. of Elk River, MN had water leaking into his basement, causing him to worry about the safety and health of his home. He saw American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor so he got in contact with us and got a FREE inspection scheduled with our Design Specialist, Jarrett. Jarrett went to his home, took a look at his basement, and proposed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is designed with easily accessible service ports when it comes time for annual maintenance. It also reduces water clogs and catches water seepage from basement walls. Wally was confident in the product and its features, so he went ahead with the repairs. 

Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter, making a trench. In the trench, our crew installed 140 feet of our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. To complete the installation, our team filled the open gaps in the floor with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement was neater than when they found it. Wally was very satisfied with our work!
