American Waterworks Before & After Photos

At American Waterworks, we provide annual maintenances on the systems that we install for our customers. One of our customers, in particular, Tabitha M. of Marshall, MN had our Service Technician, Mitchell Sobotta, checking up on the system that we had installed in her home in 2018. While he was there, he inspected some areas of the home that Tabitha had concerns with; a cracked wall with water seeping through the cracks. Mitchell proposed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, and our PowerBrace Foundation Wall Repair System. The homeowner was confident that our products would do the trick, so she followed through with Mitchell's proposal and set up a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, started the project by breaking out the concrete floor where the floor meets the wall, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard. Our WaterGuard is the most common interior drainage system that we provide for homeowners because of its easily accessible service ports, its ability to collect water seepage from basement walls, and its prevention from mud clogs. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace, which prevents mold and mildew, gives the basement a neat and clean appearance, and it hides away any holes or divots. Lastly, Jeromy and our crew installed our PowerBraces, which are made to stabilize failing walls and straighten them over time. To complete the installation, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it, ensuring the space was neater than when they found it. Tabitha was happy with the job and had a great experience!   

Bette and James A. of Marshall, MN were starting to see small holes through the foundation of their home. With the home being 100 years old, they wanted to get an opinion on what the best ways would be to ensure the home is safe to live in. They got in touch with American Waterworks and got a FREE estimate schedule with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist, Shane, went to the home, carefully inspected the problems, and determined a solution for our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, and our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Bette and James put down a deposit and followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his crew started the project by breaking out the entire concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which is designed to prevent water clogs and collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrer around the entire basement wall perimeter, which is designed to prevent moisture and mold, cover any holes or divots in the foundation, and gives the basement a clean appearance. Lastly, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which has three layers of water protection, solves all three water problems in one unit, and comes with a battery backup in case of power failure. To complete the work, our team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. The homeowners were very satisfied with the work and post-installation walkthrough!

Becky D. of Marshall, MN had leaking basement walls and floors, as well as a sagging floor. She got in contact with our office staff and set up a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric. Eric went to Becky's home to inspect the problems and determine a solution. Our Design Specialist proposed our WaterGuard Below-Floor System and CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier to repair the water leaks and our SmartJack System to straighten the sagging floor. Becky was confident in the proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. Our crew installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain in the trench and installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter. Our WaterGuard is an interior drainage system designed to prevent mud clogs and collect water seepage from basement walls. Our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier is designed to prevent moisture and humidity, cover any holes or divots in the foundation, and brightens the basement. Lastly, Jose and his crew installed our SmartJacks to restore the sagging floors. Our SmartJacks support sagging and undersized beams, restoring the stability and straightness of sagging floor joists. To complete the installation, our team filled the open gaps in the floor with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Becky was happy with the work, and was grateful we could help her with her home repair needs! 

A Marshall, MN, homeowner had noticed several cracks running down his foundation walls over the years. He did not want to worry about the problem any longer, so he decided to find a foundation repair company out of Minnesota. After he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist was headed out to the home. 

Our Design Specialist got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he was ready to make his recommendation, our CarbonArmor system. He explained that foundation wall cracks and bowing basement walls are signs that your foundation requires repair. CarbonArmor® straps are a quick, affordable way to stabilize block and poured concrete walls that have cracked and that are showing signs of bowing. Our installers determine the number of straps required depending on the pressure being exerted and the length of the affected wall. The super strong carbon fiber straps are then attached to the wall with epoxy. While this method does not restore a bowed wall to its original plumb state, it will halt further movement and cracks. And because the straps don't protrude from the wall the way I-beams do, the repair can be easily covered with mortar, paint, or light wall panels. The homeowner liked the sound of our Design Specialists plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Raul B, led his team through the successful installation of 13 CarbonArmor strips throughout the basement. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing his foundation worries have been halted!

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan P., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Ryan noticed water stains along the perimeter of the basement, along with mold growth on the walls. To fix this issue, Ryan recommended installing TripleSafe, our extremely reliable sump pump system with three pumps in one unit for the ultimate protection against water, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the discharge pipes freeze. After reviewing Ryan's recommendations, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Diego B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. After the successful installation, the crew ensured everything was working properly before cleaning up their equipment and leaving the home.
