American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Fairmont, MN was frustrated with her back door patio space and how much it had sunk over the years. As a result, many of joints in between slabs were separated and the overall look of the concrete was damaged. She hoped to find a service that could help with repairs and restore the space during the summertime, so she went online and looked up "concrete repair mn." One of the first search results was our American Waterworks company website and the homeowner was pleased to find that we offer FREE estimates. She signed up for her own and was later greeted by Design Specialist Nate Bernard. Nate informed the homeowner of our PolyLevel and NexusPro products and how they could help achieve the smooth concrete results she wanted. The homeowner agreed to the installations and was eager for the project to continue. Two of our Foremen, Troy Johnson and Ryan Trogstad, and their crews worked to complete the project on different installation days, one for PolyLevel and one for the NexusPro. The homeowner was very happy with the final results and the hard work of all of our team members.

A business owner from Fairmont, MN, was facing a serious issue with his basement. Whenever it rained, he could see water entering the space through holes in the wall, slowly running down the wall and leaving him with a headache. He was unsure of who to turn to for this issue, so he began to look for Fairmont, MN basement repairs. When he found our website, he found that he was impressed with other work we had done in our area, so he signed up for one of our FREE estimates. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, was headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived, he got right to work assessing the space. Upon completion, he was ready to make his recommendations for the next steps. First, Ryan recommended our TrenchDrain system, explaining that the TrenchDrain resembles half of a basement drainage pipe, with a grated opening fitted snugly on top. The grate is flush or slightly below the floor, eliminating any tripping hazard. It is uniquely designed to span doorways, hatchway entrances, and similar entryway doors. Any water passing over the drain is collected through the openings and redirected to your sump pump. Ryan had noted that the space lacked a sump pump, so he recommended our SuperSump plus system, an economical, yet effective, choice for ridding a basement of unwanted water. The homeowner agreed and scheduled the job for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Chris N, led his team through the successful installation of 1 SuperSump plus, and 12 ft of TrenchDrain. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his basement is protected from unwanted water! 

A homeowner in Fairmont, MN, noticed that his home was taking longer than normal to heat the home and was unsure of the reason. He decided to look into it and learned that one of the issues that could be causing this is a poorly insulated crawl space. Realizing that his crawl space is not insulated, he contacted us to schedule his FREE crawl space estimate.

Our Design Specialist, Lance S., arrived at the home in a couple of weeks to assess the crawl space, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Lance explained that one of the common causes of high moisture levels in a crawl space is dirt floors. Having a dirt floor in your crawl space means that your home is not separated from the earth, causing insects, pets, moisture, and mold to easily enter the home. For this reason, Lance recommended CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that prevents water from permeating through the floors and walls, Drainage Matting, which creates a drainage space and thermal break between the CleanSpace and ground, Foamax, our foam insulation panel that helps control crawl space humidity, and SmartDrain, a plumping system that alerts the homeowner if there is a leak. The homeowner happily agreed with Lance's suggestions, and his design was sent to our Foreman, Kiko P.

In a couple of months, Kiko and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed 884 sqft of CleanSpace, 768 sqft of Drainage Matting, 224 sqft of Foamax, and 1 SmartDrain. After they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A company in Cologne, MN had a sunken concrete pad that was supporting a 10,000-pound electrical transformer. It had settled three inches, and the company owner was in search of the best and most cost-effective solution. He came across American Waterworks and our concrete repair solutions, so he got a FREE Estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Kevin. Kevin went to the property, inspected the concrete, and determined a solution that worked for them and their needs. After a thorough inspection, Kevin proposed our PolyLevel, which is a polyutherane foam that fills the voids under the concrete and stabilizes the surface. The company owner was satisfied with the quote and solution, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Brandon, and his crew member injected 33 pounds of our PolyLevel underneath the concrete pad. Our PolyLevel quickly restores the appearance and safety of the concrete, without the mess or cost of replacement or mudjacking. It is also adjustable for loads of all sizes and can be utilized within 15 minutes of injection. The company owner was happy with the repairs and had a great experience from start to finish!

A homeowner in Cologne, MN, found that water was seeping between the cracks of their blocks in the basement. Concerned by this finding, the homeowner searched for the best waterproofing company in their area. After hearing positive reviews from their neighbors, the homeowner decided to sign up for American Waterworks' FREE estimate. After finalizing the appointment, one of our Design Specialists, Eric, traveled to the home to inspect the possible damages. After his detailed investigation, Eric alerted the homeowners that their basement needed proper waterproofing. Eric provided a recommended solution to the homeowners to solve their water issues. Knowing this would be a long-term solution, the homeowners agreed to Eric's recommendations. 

Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew traveled to the home and began installing the recommended waterproofing products. First, the crew installed the WaterGuard around the majority of the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, a feedline was installed across the basement floors. Next, the crew installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump and IceGuard to tie into the existing system. The crew installed all the waterproofing products and left the basement nice and dry.
