American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Matt L. of Lismore, MN had water leaking into his basement and underneath the carpet, making him feel nervous living in his own home. He called American Waterworks and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to his home to inspect the basement and come up with a solution. Matt was confident in Eric's design and quote, so he went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his team started the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard System, which collects water seepage from basement walls and serves as an underground drain that leads to outside. Next, our team installed our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels around the wall perimeter. These panels are made to provide a dry and energy-efficient basement, and it creates a warm, protective blanket that will never rot and or support mold growth. To complete the installation, our crew laid a rock in the open gaps and replaced the concrete, leaving the basement looking neater than when they found it. Matt was extremely happy with the project and was grateful we were able to assist his home repair needs! 

A homeowner in Crosby, MN had water leaking into their basement, causing them to worry about mold build-up, water moisture, and a flooded basement. They did research on our website and came across our basement waterproofing products. The homeowner called our office to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to their home to examine the water issues and come up with a solution that fits their needs. The homeowner was confident in Chad's TripleSafe Sump Pump System proposal and design, so they scheduled an installation date and signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Brian Colliton, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor in the corner of the basement, forming a hole. In the hole, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump. Our TripleSafe provides three layers of protection, comes with a battery back-up, and solves all three water problems in one system. Our crew connected the discharge line, ran it through the ceiling, and out of the home. To complete the project, our crew applied new concrete around the sump pump and left the basement cleaner than when they found it. The homeowner had a remarkable experience from start to finish!

Tom from Crosby, ND had begun to notice a large amount of water finding its way into the basement of his lakeside home. He was tired of constant water intrusion and was afraid that, if left untreated, he would run the risk of doing more costly damage to the space. He did some research and found our company and gave us a call. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to see what could be done to fix the issue. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended that Tom have our WaterGuard drainage system and TripleSafe Sump Pump installed to correct the issue. He explained to Tom that the WaterGuard is installed below the floor to catch any water entering the space, and then deposits it to the TripleSafe, keeping the space dry because of the capacity the TripleSump is able to withstand. Tom agreed with Kole's recommendations and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Kevin, ended up installing 128 ft of our WaterGuard, and 1 of our TripleSafe sump pumps. Once the job was completed, Tom was happy to know his basement water issues were in the past. 

Dawn N. in Garvin, MN contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on TV. She had water seeping into the basement, and she wanted to permanently fix the problem. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Reed Hudson, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution for her home. After Reed’s inspection, he was able to recommend a combination of our waterproofing products. Dawn approved of the plan and moved forward with the project.  

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to create a trench. Then, they laid the WaterGuard in the trench and installed a SuperSump sump pump. They filled back the gaps with rock and then replaced the concrete around the sump pump and over the WaterGuard. Water now properly drains to the sump pump through the WaterGuard. The water is then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Dawn’s peace of mind has been restored, and she can now enjoy a dry, healthier basement for years to come!

A homeowner from Garvin, MN, was walking across the main level of her home when she noticed an area that seemed to be sagging lower than the rest of the floor. She was immediately concerned about what this could mean for the structural integrity of the home. One day she found herself at the Marshall Home Show, where she met our Design Specialist, Ryan P. The two got to chatting about her concerns for her home, and Ryan informed her that American Waterworks offers FREE, no-obligation estimates into homeowners' concerns. The two found a day for Ryan to come out to the home. 

On the day of the inspection, Ryan got right to work inspecting the basement and the foundation of the home. When he finished, he met up with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Ryan explained that floors over basements sag due to many reasons, including inadequate or shifting support beams beneath floor joists and lumber deterioration due to mold and rot. For this reason, Ryan recommended our SmartJacks. Our SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists. Once installed, SmartJack posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springing floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Because of its design, SmartJacks can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling if necessary. The homeowner was thrilled with Ryan's recommendation and liked the idea of having a system that could be adjusted down the road.

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Gabriel R, led his team through the installation of 10 SmartJacks throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her foundation worries are in the past!
