American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Joe V. of Brewster, MN had bowing foundation walls in his basement that were getting worse. He heard that American Waterworks does Free Estimates so he gave us a call. We sent out our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection and written proposal going over our GeoLock Anchor Foundation Repair System, which offers a 25-year warranty and is one of the most effective when stabilizing foundation walls, Joe went ahead and scheduled his installation date. 

Our foreman, Juan Pena, and his production crew started the installation by digging 13 holes in the soil around the home. They installed a long metal rod in each hole from the soil to the foundation wall and tightened each side with a 26" x 26" anchor. This allowed the walls to straighten out and refurbish to its normal position. They finished the installation by putting the soil back in the holes and leaving the site cleaner than when they arrived. Joe is very happy with the work that was done and is happy he got a hold of American Waterworks when he did! 

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! 

Matt T. of Fulda, MN had water leaking throughout his basement, and he wanted to get it fixed up as soon as possible. He called American Waterworks to learn more about our basement waterproofing repair products. We set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to his home, examined his problems, and came up with a solution. Matt was confident in Eric's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete basement perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain that leads to outside and prevents water clogs. Next, our team installed our SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump, which is made to keep basements clean and dry for long periods. To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

Jen and Don T. of Fulda, MN had water leaking from their basement walls, causing them to worry about water damage and flooding hazards. They reached out to American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to their home, inspected their problems, and came up with a solution that worked for them. Jen and Don were confident in Dylan's proposal of our WaterGuard Drainage System, so they went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, which serves as an underground drain in connection with the sump pump, prevents water and mud clogs, and collects seeping water from basement walls. To complete the installation, Tremaine and his crew filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Jen and Don were happy with the project and had a great experience from start to finish!
