Damp Basement Transformed in Minneapolis, MN

A Minneapolis, MN, business owner was down in the basement of the property one evening after a heavy rain and was shocked to notice several small pools of water had entered the space. He was worried about what this could mean for his property, so he quickly began looking for a Minneapolis basement waterproofing company. When he found our website, he was impressed with other waterproofing projects we had completed. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Daniel R, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

Daniel got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that he was recommending two of our products, which he felt would benefit the space. First, Daniel recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that this 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly to the walls of the basement. It works to trap water entering through holes or cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into a perimeter, which, in this case, Daniel recommended to be our WaterGuard system. This unique French drain gets installed below the slab of the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain functions to collect water from the CleanSpace, as well as water coming up through holes or cracks in the floor, giving the water a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Daniel did notice that the basement lacked a means of expelling water, so he recommended the installation of our TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is the most reliable pump in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for your basement and peace of mind. The homeowner was thrilled with Daniel's comprehensive plan and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our team arrived bright and early to complete the installation. Led by their Foreman, Kiko, our team installed 144 ft of WaterGuard, 90ft of CleanSpace, and 1 TripleSafe sump pump in the basement. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his property is properly protected! 

Sinking Slabs Lifted in Minneapolis, MN

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, has grown concerned that his sinking concrete would pose a trip hazard for friends and family. Knowing the issue would only worsen, the homeowner began searching for concrete repair in Minneapolis, MN. The homeowner found our website and contacted us to schedule his FREE concrete estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Jason S., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Jason took note of the concrete slabs that had begun sinking and the areas where it is not level. Jason then created a proposal recommending PolyLevel, our elite foam solution that accurately lifts sunken slabs, and NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant to seal the joint between the wall and slabs. The homeowner happily agreed to Jason's recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Patrick B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They lifted the walkway by injecting PolyLevel beneath the slabs. After this, the crew sealed the joints using NexusPro.

Slab Settlement Lifted in Minneapolis, MN

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, had grown concerned that the concrete slabs along their walkway had become uneven due to settling. Knowing the issue would continue to get worse, the homeowner began searching for concrete repair in Minneapolis, MN, and found us. The homeowner then contacted us to schedule their FREE concrete estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Nate B., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Nate noticed signs of soil washout and recommended using PolyLevel to lift the concrete slabs. The homeowner happily agreed to Nate's recommendation and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Troy J., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew drilled small holes into the concrete slabs and injected PolyLevel beneath the slabs. Once it had been lifted, the holes were sealed.

Radon Gas Combated in Minneapolis, MN

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN, had just learned about the dangers of radon gas in a household. She didn't know much about Minneapolis radon companies, so she took to the internet. After searching for Minneapolis radon mitigation, she quickly found our website. She was impressed with our photo galleries of other radon systems we had installed in her area, so she signed up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo V, was headed out to the home. 

When Romeo arrived, his first order of business was placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test functions to capture radon levels within the home over a 48-hour timespan, delivering the average level of radon after the test. Romeo explained to the homeowner that, should the levels come back higher than 4 pCi/L, she should strongly consider a radon mitigation system. He explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. He went on to say that, when installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner liked Romeo's comprehensive plan and decided to wait until her levels returned to make a choice. A few days later, Romeo returned to the home to collect the results, which returned well above the Environmental Protection Agency recommended level of 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner worked with Romeo to find a good installation date. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno, led his team through a seamless installation of the mitigation system. When they concluded, our customer was happy to know that she and her family would be breathing in clean air from now on!

Cracked Foundation in Brooklyn Park, MN

Robert C. of Brooklyn Park, MN had cracked foundation walls, so he called American Waterworks for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radtke, went out to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Robert felt confident in Jeremy's proposal, so he scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team began the installation by digging holes outside of the home to install our GeoLock Wall Anchors from the outside soil to the interior foundation wall. Our crew tightened them on each side, permanently stabilizing and straightening the wall. To complete the work, our crew filled the holes with soil and replaced the dirt, leaving the home better than the way they found it. Robert's peace of mind was restored, thanks to Hugo and his crew!
