American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Terry L. in Minneapolis, MN had a cracked and inward bowing wall in his basement. He was concerned about the pressure it was putting on his foundation, so he started looking into foundation repair contractors. He came across American Waterworks’ website and was interested to learn more about our foundation repair options, so he contacted us for a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radkte, went to his home to assess his foundation problem and provide him with a solution. Jeremy was able to develop a thorough plan to straighten and secure Terry’s wall. Terry like the proposal and felt that our company was a good fit for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production crew installed 6 wall anchors along the bowing wall. Once the anchors were tightened, Terry was pleased with how quickly he saw dramatic improvement in the stability of the wall. Our foundation repair systems are backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Terry is confident that he chose the right solution to protect his home.

Laura T. of Minneapolis, MN had extremely damp walls and damp cracks in her basement floor. Before it got out of control, she got in contact with our office staff and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist to come to her home and perform a diagnosis. Jared examined her floors and walls and discussed with Laura some of our basement waterproofing products. After a thorough meeting, Laura was confident in our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels, which are 24% more energy efficient than regular foam material, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team installed 56 feet of our Basement to Beautiful Panels. These special panels provide a warm and protective blanket around the basement, and they prevent rot and mold growth. Laura was beautified by the transformation and had a memorable experience with our team from beginning to end!

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was beginning the initial stages of selling her home. However, she knew she had one roadblock to overcome. She had several stair-step cracks running the length of her basement. She didn't want any foundation issues to compromise a potential sale, so she decided to search for a professional MN basement foundation repair company. When she found our website, she decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. 

Derek got right to work inspecting each wall. When he concluded his comprehensive inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. Derek began by saying that the homeowner was right to contact us, as failing foundations are notorious for dragging down the resale value of a home. Derek recommended the use of our PowerBrace wall repair system. The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner was thrilled to hear that the solution wasn't going to be overly invasive and decided to schedule the project on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our team, lead by their Foreman, Jesus C, headed out to the home to install the system. When they had finished, they had successfully installed 16 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can confidently resell her home, knowing that her foundation worries are in the past!

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! 

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.

Now, our customer can have a level walkway! Experiencing sunken concrete? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate today!
