American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Jenny L. of Cooperstown, ND had a deteriorating foundation wall that was starting to collect water. She contacted our office to discuss her problems and schedule a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen, went to her home, carefully inspected her deteriorating wall, and drew up a solution. Richie proposed our ShotLock Wall Restoration System that serves as a special spray-on solution. Jenny was confident in the product and the lifetime warranty, so she signed Richie's contract, put down a deposit, and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foremen, Ryan Loe and Matt Zeller, and their production teams installed 65 feet of our ShotLock around the entire basement wall perimeter. This system is specifically made to rebuild a deteriorating foundation and restore the safety and property value of the home. Our ShotLock is twice as strong as concrete and is much faster than foundation replacement.

David L. of Madison, MN had water leaking into his basement, as well as a cracked foundation. He heard about American Waterworks from another contractor, so he contacted our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to David's home, carefully inspected his issues, and determined a solution that would work for him, his needs, and his budget. David felt confident in the solution, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Cole, and his production crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain which serves as an underground drain that prevents mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our Foamax Wall Panels which is a special foam insulation that saves money on energy costs and prevents water moisture from invading the basement. Lastly, our crew installed our Wall Anchors throughout the foundation wall. Our Wall Anchors are designed to straighten foundation walls and bring them back to their natural position. David was happy with the work that was done, and had a great experience from start to finish!

A Madison, MN, homeowner had noticed a large crack forming along his basement wall over the last few years. He was worried that the cracking wall could eventually impact the safety of the home, as well as the resale value. He decided to find a foundation repair specialist in his area and quickly found American Waterworks. After perusing through our photo albums of other foundation projects in his area, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan W, was headed out to the home. Dylan wasted no time getting into the basement to see the problem walls. When Dylan finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner. Dylan began by explaining that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not from the side. So when the pressure being put on the side of the wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking or bowing. Dylan went on to say that we had the perfect solution. Dylan recommended our GeoLock wall anchors, explaining that these anchors counteract the pressure being put on the wall by anchoring it to the hard-packed, undisturbed soil beyond the foundation of the home. Dylan went on to say that not only does this method offer the potential to straighten the wall back to its original position, but it can be tightened over time to further straighten foundation walls. The homeowner was thrilled with Dylan's recommendation, and the two worked to find the best day for the installation.

About a month later, our Foreman, Juan P, and his team were out at the home to install the anchors. At the end of the project, our team had effortlessly installed 12 of our GeoLock anchors throughout the failing walls. Now, our homeowner can move on from this problem, confident that his home is properly defended! 

Homeowners in Marshall, MN noticed the concrete in the corner near their front door was getting lower and lower over time. The concrete was sinking! Concrete is extremely heavy and if the soil beneath it is not strong enough to bare the weight, the floor will begin to sink. Luckily this customer called American Waterworks. We have a simple solution to sinking sidewalks, driveways and patios!

Our specialist visited the home to assess the situation. He suggest PolyLevel to be installed under the concrete. PolyLevel foam injection is much like mud jacking, but it is made up of expanding polymers and leaves only a dime size hole - which can be hidden. 

Now the concrete has risen in this area back to its original position and the homeowners are happy with their even walkway. 

Karen M. in Marshall, MN was tired of dealing with her basement flooding after heavy rains and snow melt. She contacted American Waterworks after doing some online research and spending some time on our website. She met with one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, who inspected the situation and developed a thorough plan to keep Karen’s basement dry. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production crew got to work and removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laid 121 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump, providing three levels of protection for Karen’s basement and her peace of mind.
