American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Grand Meadow, MN, noticed that his basement is experiencing moisture issues such as mold growth and efflorescence. Concerned for his home, he decided to search for "basement waterproofing experts in Grand Meadow, MN" and found a list of contractors. After reviewing everyone's website, the homeowner knew we were the best choice and contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Darin S., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Darin noticed that the homeowner did not have a sump system installed in their basement and explained that it was the likely reason why the homeowner is facing moisture issues. Darin recommended SuperSump+, our superior sump pump system that is capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipes freeze. After reviewing Darin's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In about two months, our Foreman, Isael D., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 1 SuperSump+ along the corner of the basement and 1 IceGuard. Once the crew was done and they ensured everything was working properly, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Mr Reker reached out to us in July with concerns from all the heaving, cracking and uneven concrete he was noticing around his property in Mantorville, MN.  

American Waterworks was able to design a comprehensive plan to permanently lift and stabilize the sinking concrete slabs with a high-density polyurethane formula called PolyLEVEL.

A homeowner from Mantorville, MN, was down in his basement one day when he noticed a damp patch of carpet by the baseboard of one of his walls. He recalled that his area had been hit by a storm recently, but grew concerned about rainwater entering his space. He immediately took to the internet to search for 'interior basement waterproofing near me', and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists was headed out to the home. 

Our Design Specialist got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, our Design Specialist recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly onto unfinished basement walls. It works to trap water entering through small holes or cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into a perimeter drain, which in this case, was recommended to be our WaterGuard drain. This unique French drain gets installed below the concrete floor, atop the footing of the foundation, to keep it out of the 'mud zone' where other drains of its nature tend to clog. It works to collect the water entering from the CleanSpace, as well as water entering through holes in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site like a sump pump or discharge line. Our Design Specialist had noted that the collected water had no means to exit the basement, so he recommended our SuperSump sump pump. This effective and economical pump is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump boasts a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner agreed with our Design Specialists recommendation and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Kiko, led his team through the successful installation of  4f6t of CleanSpace and WaterGuard, as well as 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his water intrusion worries have been put to an end! 

A homeowner in Mantorville, MN, noticed that his walkway had begun settling and caused cracks to form. Worried it would be a trip hazard for friends and family, he decided to look into concrete lifting and leveling in the area and found our website. After browsing our website and seeing that we offer FREE estimates, he decided to contact us and schedule his. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Darin S., arrived at the home to thoroughly inspect the concrete. During the inspection, he noticed that there was some soil washout underneath the slabs. He explained to the homeowner that soil washout is when water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils, keeping the slabs upright. To fix this issue, Darin recommended our PolyLevel, a waterproof expanding foam to lift the slabs, and NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant to seal the joints and repair the cracks. The homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the installation date. 

In about a month, Sam K., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. PolyLevel is installed by drilling small holes into the concrete slabs and inserting injection ports into the holes. PolyLevel is then injected using an injection gun, filling in the empty spaces in the soil. Once the slab has been lifted to the desired level, the crew seals the holes with cement. Lastly, they used NexusPro to seal the joints and repair cracks. 

Now, our customer has a smooth and leveled walkway free from trip hazards! Are you experiencing something similar? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate today!

Steve P. in Wanamingo, MN had water leaking into his basement. He was concerned about the damage that it was causing to his home and was worried that the air quality was compromised, so he contacted American Waterworks for a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to his home to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution to fit his needs and goals. Steve approved of the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

The production crew got to work and installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the room and a TripleSafe sump pump in the corner. Our TripleSafe is backed by three layers of protection and is our most reliable sump pump. The WaterGuard properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Steve is glad he made the investment to protect his basement for the long-term.
