American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Dodge Center, MN, discovered water stains and damage throughout their basement. Knowing this was a larger issue, the homeowner searched for the best waterproofing business. Our stellar reviews and rating caught their eye, so the homeowner did further investigation into our company. After seeing we offer FREE estimates, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for theirs. After the appointment was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Dustin, one of our Design Specialists. Dustin arrived at the home and started inspecting the water damage. Dustin determined that the water was seeping at the bottom of the walls and required additional waterproofing. The homeowner agreed with Dustin's recommendations and the plans were sent to our Foreman, Kiko, and crew. Once Kiko and his crew arrived at the home, they prepared the home for the WaterGuard installation. The WaterGuard is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. As soon as the preparations were complete, the crew dug and placed the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Additionally, the crew dug a feed line from the sump pump to tie it into the new WaterGuard system. The crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was safe and properly waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to assist another homeowner. 

A homeowner in Dodge Center, MN became worried when she noticed water coming through one of the walls in her basement bathroom. The water had caused damage to the wall and had leaked onto the floor where it had formed a small puddle. She wanted to take action and find a solution to the problem before it got worse, so she contacted our team at American Waterworks. We set her up with a FREE no-obligation estimate with one of our expert Design Specialists, Brian Ramirez. Brian arrived at the home, ready to inspect the area and give the homeowner his recommendations for fixing the problem. He found the water-damaged space and explained to the homeowner that our WaterGuard system would be the perfect solution because it's engineered to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and send it away safely. The homeowner agreed to the plans and set up a date for the installation. We sent our Foreman, Diego Barrientos, and his crew to the site to install the WaterGuard and ensure the system properly worked for the space. The homeowner was overjoyed with the results and to be rid of the water problems.

A homeowner in Dodge Center, MN was facing multiple issues with concrete such as settling slabs along the walkway and the driveway of his home. Concerned it negatively impacted the curb appeal of his home, he decided to look into concrete lifting in the area. The homeowner found our website and decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Mitch S., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the concrete and to answer any questions the homeowner had. Mitch explained that it was good that the homeowner wanted to address his damaged concrete right away rather than waiting as the issue would only worsen. Mitch then created a proposal for the homeowner recommending our PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane formula that is engineered to lift settling slabs, and NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant to seal the joints and repair the cracks. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the installation date.

In about a month, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began installing PolyLevel by drilling small holes into the slabs and inserting the injection ports. Using an injection gun, PolyLevel is injected beneath the concrete slab, lifting it to the desired level. The crew then seals the holes with cement. Lastly, the crew applied NexusPro to the joints of both the walkway and driveway and repaired the cracks along the driveway. After they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing his concrete issues have been properly fixed! Are you experiencing something similar? Schedule your FREE estimate with one of our trained experts today by clicking HERE!

There's no greater solution to a wet basement than a WaterGuard basement waterproofing system combined with a CleanSpace vapor barrier encapsulation system as you will see in this before and after from another satisfied customer in Kenyon, MN.  

One of the key ingredients in this project was the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a super-durable, 20mil plastic sheet material designed to permanently prevent moisture, outside air and pests from getting in through their foundation. The encapsulation system will now guide water leaking in through the foundation walls and redirect it to their Waterguard perimeter floor drainage system and ultimately drain into the SuperSump sump pump.

Lee C. in Kenyon, MN contacted American Waterworks because he noticed the beams in his basement were sagging, he had cracks in the drywall, sticking doors, and unlevel floors. All of these are symptoms of a failing foundation and only get worse over time. Lee met with one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, who recommended he have our structural support jacks and supplemental support beams installed to stop any further deterioration. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew got to work and installed 10 SmartJacks and supplemental beams throughout the basement to straighten and strengthen the sagging floors. Because of its design, the SmartJack can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. Lee’s peace of mind has been restored, knowing he chose a permanent solution to restore the stability of his home.
