An Eagan, MN, homeowner was growing more concerned about her basement bedroom. Each time it rained, the carpet of the room took on water, becoming overly saturated. The homeowner contacted a handyman, who referred him to us. He decided to set up his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Darin S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home.
Darin completed his thorough inspection of the basement. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Darin recommended our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the slab of the concrete floor and atop the footing of the foundation. It works to collect water entering through holes or cracks in the floor, giving the water a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. One thing Darin had noticed was that the basement lacked a means of disposing of unwanted water. For this reason, Darin recommended our SuperSump sump pump. This pump keeps your basement dry using a float-operated and fully submersible pump. The homeowner agreed with Darin's recommendations and scheduled the job on the spot.
On the day of the project, our Foreman, Diego B, led his team through the flawless installation of 34ft of WaterGuard, and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that her water intrusion issues have been handled!
A homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, noticed that the first step of his stairs had begun sinking, causing a gap to form between the steps. Concerned it would be a trip hazard, the homeowner began to look into concrete lifting contractors in the area and found us. After looking through our website, the homeowner was impressed by our 5-star reviews and decided to contact our Appointment Center to schedule his FREE concrete estimate.
In about a week, our Design Specialist, Mitch S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Mitch told the homeowner that it was good that he contacted us to address his concrete issues before they worsened. Unfortunately, it is extremely common for homeowners to push back concrete projects until they become a liability. After taking a close look at the step, Will recommended lifting it using PolyLevel. He explained to the homeowner that our PolyLevel is made of a waterproof foam expanding formula that allows for the accurate lifting of concrete slabs. Along with PolyLevel, Mitch also recommended NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant, to seal the joint. Trusting Mitch's expertise, the homeowner agreed to his recommendation and scheduled the installation date with our Foreman.
In about a month, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived at the home to carry out the installation. The crew began by drilling small holes into the slabs. PolyLevel is then injected, causing the slab to lift. Once it has been lifted to the desired height, the crew seals the holes. Lastly, they used NexusPro to seal the joint.
Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing his step has been properly lifted without the headache of mudjacking or slab replacement! Have you noticed sunken concrete on your property? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate with one of our experts today!
Sam from Saint Paul, Mn was in hopes of renewing his basement systems to help provide his home with more security against water that could potentially harm the foundation of his home. The first step he took to protect his home was to upgrade his sump pump and insert a new drainage system. Sam immediately contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled his Free Estimate which entitled him to a full home inspection. Once scheduled, our Design Specialist then attended his home and began a thorough inspection of the property. Our Design Specialist then proposed to Sam that the best solution is to invest in our TripleSafe Sump Pump system along with our Waterguard Drainage system. Sam was comfortable with the proposal and went forward with the project by setting a date of installation.
Once the date of installation arrived, our Foreman along with his Production team attended to the property and began to jackhammer the concrete along the perimeter of the basement to insert the WaterGuard Drainage System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. This type of WaterGuard is most commonly used due to the resistance against water clogs and easy access ports to properly flush out the mud from the system. Once inserted the Production team then proceeded to remove the old sump pump system and replace it with a TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump has three levels of protection which helps solve all three water problems. Once the job was done the team then places a fresh layer of concrete over the project to provide a finishing look and secure the system to stay in place.
Sam was satisfied with the project and had a great experience with the Production crew!
