A homeowner in Greenbush, MN had water leaking from their wall, making them feel nervous about water moisture and humidity problems. They called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate for our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to their home, inspected their problems, and came up with a solution. The homeowner was confident in Richie's proposal, so they went ahead with the project.
Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team began the installation by cutting out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which acts as an underground drain, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team cut out the wall perimeter and installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent humidity and water moisture from invading the basement, and it covers big holes or divots in the wall. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

Brian R. of Zimmerman, MN had a crack in his foundation, causing him to worry about the strength of his home. His realtor referred American Waterworks for the repairs. Our Design Specialist, Chad, inspected Brian's wall and proposed our PowerBraces, which are made to stabilize failing basement walls. Brian got all of his questions answered and was confident in the price and quote, so he moved forward with the project.
Our Foreman, Hugo, and his crew installed seven of our PowerBraces against the foundation wall, and ensured that Brian's expectations were met!

Linda, from Pequot Lakes, MN, was looking for some solutions for her home's basement space. The basement was experiencing water intrusion, so she decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to the property.
Following a thorough inspection, Shane gave his recommendations to Linda, suggesting that she invest in our WaterGuard system as well as our SuperSump Plus. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. Linda agreed, and our crew got to work.
Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew began implementing our WaterGuard System, a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed 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. The crew then broke out concrete to make a feed line. From there, our crew installed our SuperSump Plus Sump Pump to the feedline. Our crew filled the open gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home.
After all was said and done, Linda was very glad she made the decision to call American Waterworks and had her peace of mind restored.
Nick M. in Dennison, MN had learned about the dangers of radon gas and decided that he needed to get his home tested. The test results showed a high level of radon. Our Design Specialist walked him through the radon mitigation installation process and answered his questions. Nick wanted to act quickly and moved forward with an installation date.
Our radon mitigation specialists drilled a hole through the concrete basement to create a suction point for the gas. Then, a PVC pipe is inserted which goes up through the house and exits the home through the roof. A fan is installed at the top of the PVC pipe to ensure that the radon gas is being pushed away from the home. The post mitigation test results showed that his home is now a much safer environment. The installation took only one day to complete, and Nick is glad he took action to protect his and his family’s health.

A homeowner from Dennison, MN, was down in his basement one day when he realized his basement wall seemed to be tilting inward.

He began to look for foundation repair MN and quickly found our website. He was impressed with our reviews and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate.
Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brian R, headed out to the home. After conducting a thorough inspection of the issue, Brian informed the homeowner that he wanted to use our Channel Anchors to address the failing wall. He explained that this system is versatile and effective and can stabilize walls that are bowing, tipping, pushing in at the bottom, tilting at the top, or showing similar signs of failure. They are installed with minimal disturbance to your lawn and landscaping, often in a day or less. This warrantied solution includes a complete wall anchor system and a channel anchor that mounts on your foundation floor and wall for optimal bracing and failure protection. The homeowner agreed with the proposed work and scheduled the job for several weeks later.
On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Raul B, and his team successfully installed 5 of our Channel Anchors throughout the basement. Now, our homeowner can breathe easy knowing his foundation worries are in the past!
