American Waterworks Before & After Photos

The foundation and concrete blocks of Dirk G.'s home in Red Lake, MN was starting to cave in and the home was starting to fall in. Dirk got in contact with American Waterworks and our Design Specialist, Nick, went to his home to inspect his walls and determine a solution that would fit his needs and budget. Dirk was confident in the solution of our PowerBraces, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his production crew installed 12 of our PowerBraces to straighten the foundation walls. Our PowerBraces can be tightened over time by the homeowner to ensure the system is sticking to its design. They also provide a clean appearance to the basement, they are coated with zinc so they don't attract rust, and there is very minimal disruption to the basement space. Dirk was thrilled with the work and project completion!

A Red Lake, MN, homeowner had noticed a peculiar smell wafting through his home. Try as he may, he could not find the source of the odor. After a heavy night of rain, he realized that it might not be something in the home that was expired but potentially something in his crawl space beneath the home. He began to look for MN crawl space contractors and quickly found our website. He was impressed with other crawl space sealing jobs we had done and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, Ian S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. When he arrived, he wasted no time gearing up and getting down into the crawl space to assess the issue. Quickly, the homeowner's worries were confirmed. Small holes or cracks in the crawl space had led to standing water and the growth of mold and mildew, which the odor could be attributed to. Ian recommended three of our products that he believed would help the issue. First, Ian recommended our CleanSpace. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly onto the walls and floors of the crawl space. It acts to collect water entering through small holes and cracks in the foundation of the home, keeping it out of the crawl space. Ian knew that if the liner was flush with the crawl space ground, trapped water would, again, have nowhere to go. For this reason, he recommended our drainage matting be installed below the CleanSpace on the ground of the space. The raised dimples on our drainage matting give the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner. Now that Ian had created a channel for water to flow, he needed a means of disposal. In this case, Ian recommended our SuperSump sump pump be placed in the space This powerful, yet economical, pump is engineered to help keep your home dry and healthy for extended periods. It 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 liked the sound of Ian's plan and decided to schedule the job for later in the year.

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Kingsley, led his team through the installation of 1 SuperSump pump, 1128 sqft of CleanSpace, and another 900 sqft of drainage matting. Now, our customers can enjoy an odor-free home!

Dale C. in Lawler, IA contacted American Waterworks because he was interested in learning more about our TripleSafe sump pump system. He already had a sump pump in his basement, but it was not able to keep up with water from heavy rains and snow melt. We sent one of our Design Specialists to his home to evaluate Dale’s situation and propose a solution to fit his needs.

Our production crew successfully installed our TripleSafe sump pump and battery backup system. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump system, providing three levels of protection, and the battery backup provides additional peace of mind. In case of a power outage, the backup with pump 11,500 gallons or more of water on a fully charged battery. Dale is glad he made the investment to protect his basement! 

A homeowner in Lawler, IA, recently read an article discussing the dangers of radon. Worried about the radon levels in their home, the homeowner went to their local hardware store and purchased a radon gas test. After the test was completed, the levels showed they were dangerously high. Hoping to find a company that could install a radon mitigation system, the homeowner looked into "radon mitigation system installation near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner took a closer look at our Radon Mitigation Systems. Impressed with our work, 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, Brad. The following week, Brad traveled to the home to begin the estimate. During the estimate, Brad determined the radon mitigation system would be installed on the west side of the home. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Brad to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Gus, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Gus and his crew started by prepping for the installation. Then, the crew secured the Radon Mitigation System along the west wall. Once the Radon Mitigation System was secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing the radon risk in their home was eliminated. If you notice your home is experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

Joe D. of Garrison, MN had an uneven patio, leading to cracks near his screen door. He found our office number online and called to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ben Fort. Ben went to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Joe was comfortable with Ben's plan, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, James Jacques, and his crew member started the project by screwing small holes into the concrete. In each hole, James injected our PolyLevel, which is a unique, expanding foam that fills the gaps caused by soil erosion and raises the concrete surface. Next, our crew applied our NexusPro to the crack, which is a sealant that provides long-term flexibility and prevents any further cracking or bubbling. Joe was satisfied with the project and had a great experience!
