American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Saint Paul, MN, discovered water in the corner of their basement. Worried this could become a serious issue, the homeowner began looking into waterproofing experts near them. One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so they signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Mac. A few days later, Mac promptly arrived at the home and began a thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Mac confirmed the basement was suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the issue from continuing, Mac recommended securing WaterGuard and the TripleSafe sump pump in the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, Mac agreed and worked with the homeowner to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Kiko and his crew started by securing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Finally, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. If you notice your walls are leaking water, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Shoreview, MN, noticed their sidewalk was uneven and becoming a trip hazard. Worried this would become a serious issue, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into “heaving concrete repair near me” and one of the first companies to populate was us, American Waterworks. After seeing our award-winning concrete lifting and leveling services, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Tony, to take a closer look. Tony promptly arrived at the home to begin the estimate. During his inspection, Tony confirmed the sidewalk was sinking. Tony recommended lifting the sidewalk back to its original position. The homeowner agreed with Tony’s recommendations, then Tony passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project for a few weeks later. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Patrick and his crew started by installing PolyLevel underneath the sidewalk.  Once the sidewalk was properly lifted, the crew shifted to repairing the crack with NexusPro. After the cracks were repaired, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home.  The homeowner was grateful to know the tripping hazards were eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners’ peace of mind.

A homeowner in Shoreview, MN, noticed multiple issues with his basement, such as weeping walls, standing water and efflorescence, a white residue caused by salt deposits left behind from evaporated water leaks. Worried those issues would lead to permanent damage to his home, he decided to search for "basement waterproofing near me" and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home to assess the basement. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of a damp basement is a failed footing drain. When this becomes clogged and fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then enters through cracks in the wall, between the footing and the wall, or under the footing. During Daniel's inspection, he noticed that the current sump pump was out of date and kept it in mind when he designed a proposal for the homeowner. Daniel recommended our WaterGuard, a below-the-floor perimeter drain system that effectively collects water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away, CleanSpace, a vapor wall barrier that stops water vapor from permeating the walls, IceGuard, our discharge line system that will not freeze unlike traditional discharge lines, and Zoeller M53 pump that is capable of removing 2,220 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing Daniel's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Field Supervisor, Cole B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by attaching 74ft of the CleanSpace vapor wall barrier to the basement walls using drilled-in fasteners. Then, the crew installed 74ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and ensured it was connected to the sump pump system. They also installed 1 IceGuard before replacing the pump with our Zoeller M53. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

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.
