American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Cologne, MN was wanting to find a solution for his sunken concrete apron right outside of the garage. It was frustrating to feel the large bump it had created every time he went in and out of the garage. He didn't know what the next best step was to fix the issue, so he went online to see what he could learn. Searching for concrete lifting services in Minnesota, one of the top results was the American Waterworks website. Once he found out about our FREE estimate appointments, he scheduled one for himself and awaited the arrival of one of our team members. Our Design Specialist, Tony Bach, visited the home to analyze the concrete apron and talk things through with the homeowner. Tony suggested installing our PolyLevel to lift the concrete slabs back up and be level with the garage floor again and the homeowner agreed. On the installation day, our Foreman, Troy Johnson, and his crew carefully injected just the right amount of PolyLevel to restore the space. They also sealed the joints with NexusPro for a smooth finish, and the homeowner was very happy with how it turned out.

Ruth O. in Mound, MN was suffering from water leaking in to her basement. She had been dealing with the problem for quite some time now and was tired of dealing with it. After researching local waterproofing company’s, she got in touch with the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to her home to provide her with a solution and a free estimate. Chad worked with Ruth to develop the right waterproofing plan for her and her home. She liked the proposal that Chad developed, so she scheduled a date for our production team to install the waterproofing system.  

Our crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the stairs, where the water was leaking in. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump and a discharge line to the outside of the home. The water is now properly guided through the drainage system to the sump pump. Then, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and the water is expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Ruth now has peace of mind that her basement will remain dry and that she chose the right solution.

Chris R. of Mound, MN was concerned with the value of his home due to the cracked concrete throughout his driveway. After scoping around on HomeAdvisor, he came across American Waterworks and our concrete repair projects. He called our office line to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Kevin Beseman, to inspect his concrete and come up with a solution. Chris was confident in Kevin's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

To start the project, our Foreman, Troy Johnson, injected 270 pounds of our PolyLevel underneath the concrete to raise and stabilize the surface. Our PolyLevel is a dense foam that cures concrete within minutes and prevents it from falling in. Next, Troy applied 194 feet of our NexusPro over the cracks to provide long-term flexibility and to prevent any further damage from soil build-up. Our NexusPro stands up to harsh weather conditions and gives the concrete a clean and neat appearance. Chris was happy with the project and loved the new view of his driveway!  

Tom, from Mound, MN, gave us a call when he began to notice water entering the basement of his home. Tom knew that if he left the problem unresolved then he would run the risk of mold or mildew accumulating in the space. When Tom called, he used his FREE estimate, which entitled him to a thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists from our waterproofing and foundation division. Once the walk-through was over, our Design Specialist made a few recommendations as to how we could best fix Tom's situation. First, he recommended that we use our CleanSpace basement wall vapor barrier. He explained to Tom that this 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier is used to prevent leaks and mold growth in any basement, by trapping any moisture behind the plastic barrier. Going hand-in-hand with this product, he also recommended our WaterGuard draining system. Our Design Specialist told Tom that this drainage system could be installed below the floor, but above the foundation footing of the home, and works to collect any excess water trapped behind the CleanSpace or entering through cracks in the floor, and directs said water to the appropriate place, like a sump pump. Tom agreed with the recommendations made and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew ended up installing 81ft of our CleanSpace and another 81ft of our WaterGuard drainage system. 

When the project was complete, Tom was happy to know his basement waterproofing issues were in the past!

A homeowner in Mounds, MN, knew it was time to have their foundation permanently repaired. Overwhelmed by all the options, the homeowner decided to visit HomeAdvisor to see which company stood out over the rest. After looking through all the companies, the homeowners saw that American Waterworks was the highest-rated out of them all. The homeowner visited our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the FREE estimate was set, one of our Design Specialist, Nick, arrived at the home to begin the estimation. Once he was complete, Nick determined that the foundation was in desperate need of stabilization, and the concrete floors required lifting and leveling. Nick recommended a solution to the homeowners that would save the basement from failure. After contemplating their options, the homeowner determined that this was their best option and went through with Nick's recommendations. Once the plans were approved, a crew was assigned to complete the job. Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the project. First, the crew focused on stabilizing the crumbling foundation. The crew installed three GeoLock anchors on the northwest wall. Once the GeoLocks were in place, the crew utilized the PolyLevel to lift and level the concrete floor. Next, the crew utilized the NexusPro Sealant to fill the various cracks and joints throughout the concrete. After all the cracks and joints were filled, the crew was able to clean up the project site and leave the home. The homeowners were grateful that their foundation was saved from possible failure. American Waterworks is happy to provide another customer peace of mind.
