Sharon S. of Saint Paul, MN had a settling foundation in the home that she built in the 1930s. The concrete footing of her stairway was sinking. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Russ. Russ went to Sharon's house, inspected her foundation, and determined a solution that would work for her needs. Sharon was confident in Russ's proposal of our Helical Piers, so she went ahead with the project.
Our Foreman, Hugo, and his production team installed seven of our Helical Piers to stabilize and level the home. This system is designed to transfer the weight of the home to strong, supporting soils, then the soil around the foundation is replaced. Sharon was happy with the work, and had a great experience with our team!

A Saint Paul, MN, homeowner was facing a unique issue. Each time it rained, he could see water entering through a corner of his basement, creating a small puddle. The homeowner didn't want that small puddle to turn into a larger issue, so he decided to contact a reputable basement waterproofing company in MN. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our. Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home.
When Derek arrived, he got right to work inspecting every inch of the basement. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Derek explained that water problems commonly occur in the corner of the room and that the homeowner was right to call when he did. Derek wanted to use two of our products to address the water intrusion. First, he recommended our WaterGuard drain, explaining that it's the most effective way to stop basement flooding. The WaterGuard is a French drain that is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. Because of its placement, the drain stays out of the "mud zone" where other drains tend to clog. It works to catch water entering through the floor, directing it to the appropriate disposal site, which Derek wanted to be our SuperSump plus. Our SuperSump sump pump is an effective and economical solution to combat water intrusion. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even in times of heavy water intrusion. It boasts a powerful Zoeller 1/3 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 liked the sound of the two products working together, and decided to schedule her project for some time later.
When the day of the project rolled around, our team, led by their Foreman, Victor S, effortlessly installed 100ft of WaterGuard, and 1 SumpSump sump pump in the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy the rain without worries that it will end up in his basement!

A Saint Paul, MN, homeowner was beginning the process of selling his home. But before he could contact realtors, he knew there were several areas of his home that had to be updated to ensure he got the best value for his home. He began with his front concrete walkway, which had been slowly sinking over the years, creating numerous trip hazards and an eyesore. Figuring the easiest way to fix the issue was by ripping out the concrete and repouring, he searched for "concrete replacement near me" and found American Waterworks. He decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, Jesse W, one of our Design Specialists, made a stop out at the home.
Jesse completed a thorough inspection of the area, and when he completed it, he met with the homeowner. Jesse began by saying that the homeowner was correct to contact us. He explained that, in his opinion, the concrete could be restored at a much cheaper price point than full replacement. He went on to say that he was recommending our PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, and in the process, slowly lifts the sunken slab back to its desired location. Jesse went on to say that, once the lift had been completed, he wanted to utilize our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant goes hand in hand with PolyLevel, as it's applied to the cracks and joints in the newly leveled concrete and works to prevent unwanted moisture from getting to the vulnerable soil below. The homeowner, thrilled to know that Jesse's recommendation would not only be cheaper but effective as well, decided to schedule his project for several weeks later.
On the day of the project, our team, led by their Foreman, Pat B, was able to lift, level, and seal the concrete effortlessly. Now our customer can confidently list his home knowing everything, down to the concrete, is in tip-top shape!
A homeowner in St. Paul, MN, knew it was time to repair their wet crawl space. They knew they needed a professional to provide them with a solution. The homeowner began looking into "wet crawl space repair near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Jesse. A few weeks later, Jesse promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the crawl space. Jesse confirmed that the crawl space was suffering from water intrusion. To prevent this issue from worsening, Jesse recommended encapsulating the space. Knowing this was the best action plan, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Jesse's recommendations. Next, Jesse and the homeowner worked together to find the best date for the crawl space encapsulation. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Jose, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. Jose and his crew started by installing Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Once the Drainage Matting was secured, the crew shifted to attaching CleanSpace to the crawl space floors and walls. Once all the products were secured, Jose and his crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners with peace of mind.
John H. of Maplewood, MN was tired of having sunken steps on his front porch. He saw an advertisement for American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our concrete repair solution. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Kevin McWithey, to his home to inspect his concrete problem and design a solution. Kevin assured him that we could have his steps raised and leveled within a matter of hours by using our PolyLevel injection. John was happy to hear this, so he set a date for the injection.
Our concrete repair experts, Jared Wroblewski and Trevor Ellingson, drilled small holes into the concrete slabs where the foam needed to be injected. They injected the foam until the steps were raised and leveled back to their original position. John is glad he found a concrete repair solution that is a faster, durable and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair. The process only took a couple of hours, and now John and his family are able to enjoy a beautiful front porch for years to come!
