A homeowner from Hayfield, MN, was getting tired of constantly tripping on a piece of sunken concrete in front of his home. He decided to begin his search for a company that could help fix the situation. Through his searches, he found the American Waterworks website. He decided to sign up for our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Aidan H, headed out to the home.
Once Aidan completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Aidan explained that American Waterworks could address the sinking concrete with help from our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the slab back to its original place. He went on to say that we finished our concrete lifts by installing our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to cracks and joints in the concrete, preventing unwanted moisture and debris from penetrating the slabs. The homeowner agreed and work was scheduled to begin a few weeks later.
On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dylon V, made quick work of the installation. He successfully eliminated tripping hazards, and now our homeowner is thrilled that he can walk across his walkway with no worries!

A Hayfield, MN, homeowner was in the process of upgrading his basement when he had the idea to add a bedroom to the space. He was worried that this bedroom wouldn't be up to code because of the improper means of egress, so he decided to find a contractor who specialized in this area. He had previous work foundation work done by American Waterworks, and decided to give us a call for another FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialists were scheduled to stop at the home.
When our Design Specialist arrived, he launched right into his inspection, meeting with the customer when he had finished. He informed the homeowner that he recommended our RockWell egress window well, explaining that RockWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust, and rot-proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. RockWell’s egress window wells feature durable, built-in steps that make it easy for your family to escape from your basement in the event of an emergency. We also offer safety ladders for our Premier series window wells. The homeowner liked the sound of our plan and signed on the spot.
On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor S, and his team worked tirelessly to install the products. When they had finished, our customer was happy to know that American Waterworks had helped him restore his peace of mind in his home once again!
A homeowner in Hayfield, MN, knew it was time to repair their water-damaged basement walls. To complete the project correctly, the homeowner knew they needed a professional to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "interior french drain contractors," and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. After reading about our previous projects, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Dustin. When the appointment date arrived, Dustin promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough investigation of the basement. During his inspection, Dustin discovered that the north wall was leaking the most water. To prevent this issue from worsening, Dustin recommended installing several waterproofing products along the struggling wall. Knowing this was their best action plan, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Dustin's recommendations. Next, Dustin passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project, and then it was assigned to our Foreman, Kiko. A few weeks later, Kiko traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Kiko and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, Kiko and his crew installed the TripleSafe, one of our elite sump pump systems. Finally, Kiko and his crew completed the project by installing CleanSpace on the unfinished basement walls. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the eye-catching before and after made by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners with peace of mind.
A homeowner in Hayfield, MN, had noticed water seeping into their basement and was concerned about the long-term damage it would cause. Knowing the issue must be addressed immediately, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing services and contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.
In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dustin A., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the areas where water intrusion was present. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Dustin created a proposal tailored to the homeowner's budget and issue. In that proposal, Dustin recommended WaterGuard, our perimeter drainage system, CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier, SuperSump+, our reliable sump pump system, IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line, and Aprilaire, our strong dehumidifier. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed with the recommendations and proceeded with the project.
In a couple of months, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 54ft of WaterGuard, 44ft of CleanSpace, 1 SuperSump+, 1 IceGuard, and 1 Aprilaire. After the successful installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Mary and Gene of Laporte, MN, had sagging floors in a room in their lake house, and they wanted to get it lifted to prevent any further settlement. The couple decided to call American Waterworks to claim their FREE estimate. This entitled Mary and Gene to a free home inspection. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed to the property and began a thorough home inspection to diagnose the house and propose a proper solution. Ian explained that the reason for their troubles was in part because the home was sitting on wood and suggested that they invest in our SmartJack system. Our SmartJack system is made to provide support for oversized or sagging beams, restoring stability and straightness. This system is also unique because it's made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel, so rusting isn't a worry. This means the SmartJack system can be tightened for years to come.
Mary and Gene agreed and scheduled an appointment for installation.
Our Foreman and his crew went to the property and got to work. The team permanently stabilized the floors using 6 SmartJacks, 28 Joist Assist Brackets, and a 36-ft Supplemental Beam in the crawlspace below. Mary and Gene were so happy with the work and felt a sense of peace about the safety of their lake home!
