American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Ron H. in Elkton, MN had a musty smell coming from his dirt crawl space. He also noticed that it was very humid and he was concerned that energy was being lost through the crawl space. He saw a commercial for American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our crawl space encapsulation services, so he contacted us for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists went to his home to inspect his crawl space and develop a solution. We were able to confirm that there was quite a bit of moisture accumulating in his crawl space which was causing the musty smell. We also confirmed that energy was being wasted because his crawl space was not insulated. We presented him with an encapsulation plan and he was pleased with the proposal, so he scheduled a date for the project.

Our production team installed drainage matting along the dirt floor and installed our SuperSump sump pump in the corner of the crawl space. Then, they encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier system which protects the space from moisture and potential mold growth. Lastly, they placed a SaniDry dehumidifier in the crawl space to control the humidity. The process took a couple of days to complete, but Ron now has a bright, clean and healthy crawl space. He is also saving money on his energy bill each month.

A homeowner in Elkton, MN, noticed their sump pump was running slower and making odd noises. Concerned about the status of their sump pump, the homeowner looked for a professional to assist them. Remembering they worked with us in the past, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Romeo, one of our Design Specialists. Romeo arrived and began inspecting their current sump pump. Romeo confirmed that the sump pump needed to be replaced, so he recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. After seeing the incredible benefits, the homeowner agreed with Romeo's recommendations. Our Foreman, Dakota, was assigned to complete the job. When Dakota arrived, he began by taking out the old sump pump. Once the old sump was removed, he put the TripleSafe in its place. Additionally, Dakota installed an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. After the IceGuard was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know they have a proper working sump pump. American Waterworks is happy to give their homeowners peace of mind. 

Colleen R. in Hayfield, MN was suffering from a wet basement. Her old system was not keeping up with the amount of water that was coming through her foundation, so she called American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists went to her home to inspect her basement and to develop a solution. She was pleased with the thorough plan that we proposed to her, so she chose to have our waterproofing system installed. 

Our production team started the waterproofing process by removing the concrete around the perimeter of her basement floor and installing our WaterGuard drainage system. The WaterGuard connects to the TripleSafe sump pump that they installed in the corner of the basement. The water that was leaking into her basement before is now guided through the drainage system, into the sump pump, and then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Colleen's basement has remained a dry, livable space and her peace of mind has been restored!

A homeowner from Hayfield, MN, was getting tired of constantly tripping on a piece of sunken concrete in front of his home. He decided to begin his search for a company that could help fix the situation. Through his searches, he found the American Waterworks website. He decided to sign up for our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Aidan H, headed out to the home. 

Once Aidan completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Aidan explained that American Waterworks could address the sinking concrete with help from our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the slab back to its original place. He went on to say that we finished our concrete lifts by installing our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to cracks and joints in the concrete, preventing unwanted moisture and debris from penetrating the slabs. The homeowner agreed and work was scheduled to begin a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dylon V, made quick work of the installation. He successfully eliminated tripping hazards, and now our homeowner is thrilled that he can walk across his walkway with no worries!

A Hayfield, MN,  homeowner was in the process of upgrading his basement when he had the idea to add a bedroom to the space. He was worried that this bedroom wouldn't be up to code because of the improper means of egress, so he decided to find a contractor who specialized in this area. He had previous work foundation work done by American Waterworks, and decided to give us a call for another FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialists were scheduled to stop at the home. 

When our Design Specialist arrived, he launched right into his inspection, meeting with the customer when he had finished. He informed the homeowner that he recommended our RockWell egress window well, explaining that RockWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust, and rot-proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. RockWell’s egress window wells feature durable, built-in steps that make it easy for your family to escape from your basement in the event of an emergency. We also offer safety ladders for our Premier series window wells. The homeowner liked the sound of our plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor S, and his team worked tirelessly to install the products. When they had finished, our customer was happy to know that American Waterworks had helped him restore his peace of mind in his home once again!
