American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Jeff H. in Minneapolis was concerned about his retaining wall that was severely cracked and bowing. Jeff started seeking out help to solve his foundation problem, and a trusted contractor recommended that he contact American Waterworks to get a FREE estimate.

He contacted us, and we sent our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, to his home to assess his retaining wall and provide him with a solution. Shane worked with Jeff to design a plan that was the best fit for his needs. Jeff liked the proposal, so he scheduled a date for us to repair his foundation.

Our production team installed two helical anchors through the retaining wall and into the soil. They tightened and secured the anchors, which permanently stabilizes the foundation. The installation only took one day, and now Jeff will never have to worry about that wall giving out. Our foundation repair systems are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Jeff is confident that he chose the right solution for his home.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, was facing wet basement issues such as water leaking between the wall and the footing and cracks on the walls. Concerned that the issue would worsen, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing contractors in the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate.

In less than a week, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the problem areas and answered any questions the homeowner had. He also explained that a failed footing drain could be the likely reason why water was leaking between the wall and the floor. When this fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation and enters through cracks on the wall and in the joints. To fix this issue, our Design Specialist recommended WaterGuard, our elite drainage system installed at the perimeter of the basement to collect water and send it to the sump pump, CleanSpace, our wall vapor barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls and sends any water leaks to the drainage system, SuperSump+, our sump pump system capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape the home in case the sump pump discharge lines freeze. The homeowner happily agreed to our Design Specialist's recommendations and scheduled the installation date with our Foreman.

In about a couple of months, our Foreman, Francisco E., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 15 ft of WaterGuard, 14ft of CleanSpace, 1 Supersump+, and 1 IceGuard. Once the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

In Minneapolis, MN a homeowner was concerned when she was in her basement space and noticed a good amount of water damage on the concrete floors. She was relieved that the basement was unfinished and didn't damage the space too much, but still wanted to prevent the issue from growing over time. She found the American Waterworks website in her search of waterproofing solutions and was interested in our FREE estimate services. She signed up for her own and once we received the request, sent over Design Specialist Dylan Woitas. Dylan carried out a detailed inspection of the basement space and suggested that to stop the current water intake for good, installing a WaterGuard system would be the best solution. The homeowner trusted his judgement and agreed to move forward with the process. When Foreman Arturo Mares and his crew arrived at the site, they made sure to talk the homeowner through the project and answer any questions before starting. Then, they installed the WaterGuard system, which works by intercepting water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away safely to the sump pump. The homeowner was pleased with the results and thanked our crew for their hard work.

A customer from Minneapolis got in contact with us when he began to notice that his front steps were beginning to sink. He knew that if he left it alone, the issue would continue to worsen, creating a tripping hazard and becoming more costly to fix down the road. When he called in, he claimed his FREE estimate and our Design Specialist headed out to the property. Once there, he completed a thorough inspection into the issue and then made his recommendations as to how we could help. He recommended the use of our PolyLevel injected, followed by sealing the cracks and joints with our NexusPro solution. He explained that the PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that has a quick curing time and is much less invasive than alternative methods. He went on to say that the NexusPro works to seal all cracks and joints to prevent any further water from getting under the slab. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our PolyLevel production team, led by Dylon, began the process by strategically drilling holes into the problem slab. Next, they inserted the PolyLevel and closely monitored the lifting process to ensure the slab returned to its previous state. Once done, the customer was happy to know her tripping hazard had been eliminated!

A homeowner in Brooklyn Center, MN, had taken one tumble too many over uneven concrete on the walkway in front of her home. Wanting to avoid any more accidents, the homeowner decided to take advantage of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist headed out to the home. 

Once the inspection was complete, our Design Specialist informed the homeowner that her concrete could be a simple fix. He recommended the use of our PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath concrete, filling voids caused by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back to its desired position. He went on to say that our process is finished by installing our NexusPro along cracks and joints of the concrete to ensure that no unwanted water or debris penetrates the slab, compromising the slab. The homeowner agreed, and work began a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dylon, made quick work of the installation. Now our customer can use their front walkway without worries of tripping!
