American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner had been dealing with a leaky basement for years. Each time it rained, the homeowner fell victim to unwanted water finding its way into her space. She no longer wanted to deal with the issue and decided to find a basement waterproofing company in Minneapolis, MN. The homeowner quickly found American Waterworks and signed up for her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dustin A, was headed out to the home. When Ryan finished his estimate appointment, he met with the homeowner. He began by commending the homeowner for taking action on her space. Dustin explained that waterproofing issues don't get better with time but rather with diligent homeowners who are committed to the health and value of their homes. He went on to say that he had the perfect system to deal with the water in the basement. First, Dustin recommended our CleanSpace system be installed directly to the walls of the basement. He explained that this 100% waterproof tarp-like material works to catch water entering through holes and cracks in the wall, directing it downward to a perimeter drain. Furthermore, CleanSpace has an anti-microbial protection, UltraFresh, built right in. As for the perimeter drain, Dustin recommended our WaterGuard drainage system. This unique French drain system gets installed below the basement floor atop the footing of the foundation to keep it clear of the 'mud zone' where similar systems tend to clog. Dustin elaborated, saying that this system works to give water entering through the floor a channel to flow freely to the sump pump that had been previously placed in the space. The homeowner agreed with the proposed work and worked with Dustin to find the correct date for installation. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Juan P, and his crew arrived at the home. Once the project had concluded, Juan and his team installed 77 sqft of both WaterGuard and CleanSpace within the basement. Now, our customer can lay her water intrusion nightmare to rest!

Mitch J. in Coon Rapids, MN had water seeping into his basement. He expressed his frustration about the problem in his basement to a friend and that friend recommended that he call American Waterworks to waterproof his basement. Mitch decided to call us for a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to his home to inspect the problem and design a solution. Jeremy worked closely with Mitch to develop a plan that was best fitting for his needs. Mitch was pleased with the proposal that Jeremy presented to him, so he scheduled a date for us to waterproof his basement.

Our production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of Mitch’s basement, and the concrete where they needed to install the new sump pump. Then, they laid our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter and a feed line through the middle of the basement floor. The WaterGuard and feed line properly drain water to the sump pump, instead of the water pooling in his basement. Once the water reaches the sump pump, it is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Mitch was very pleased with the work that the crew did! He is glad he chose to invest in his home and protect his basement for the long-term.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, noticed a musty smell coming from their basement. Unsure of where the smell was coming from, the homeowner decided to have a professional come out to the home to investigate. During their search, the homeowner came across our high reviews and ratings on HomeAdvisor. Impressed by our ratings, the homeowner decided to call our Appointment Center and sign up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan, to the home to determine the source of the odor. After he completed the inspection, Dylan determined that the musty odor was coming from the crawl space in the home. Dylan recommended a solution that would stop the odor. After hearing Dylan's solution, the homeowners determined that this was their best option. Once they agreed, the plans were then directed to the assigned crew, and production preparations commenced. Our Foreman, Victor, and his crew arrived at the home at began the encapsulation process. First, the crew cleaned all the debris out of the crawl space. Then, the crew installed the drainage matting and CleanSpace on the floors and walls. Next, the crew installed foamax on the block walls. Finally, spray foam was inserted into the rim joist. The crew successfully encapsulated the entire crawl space. The homeowners were thankful that the musty smell had been removed from the basement.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, noticed a slight horizontal crack in their foundation. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner looked to have an expert visit their home and provide them with some answers. Knowing we have done excellent work around their area, the homeowner looked at the foundation repair services that we offer. Impressed with our extensive lists, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowners prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Nick. Once Nick arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowners and began his inspection. Once he completed the inspection, Nick determined that the wall was cracked due to the excess pressure being put on the wall. To stop this from worsening, Nick suggested that the wall be permanently stabilized. After deliberating their options, the homeowners knew this was their best option. Once they received approval, our Foreman, Jose and his crew traveled to the home. The crew arrived and began by preparing the lawn and wall for the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks is an innovative wall anchor system that permanently stabilizes your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to untouched soil beyond your foundation. The crew installed five GeoLock anchors along the west basement wall. After all the GeoLocks were secured into place, the crew could clean up their site and leave the home. The homeowners were thankful to know that their wall was properly stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind.
