How American Waterworks Helps Homeowners Across Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, & Iowa

No matter where you live, whether it's Minneapolis, Fargo, La Crosse, Mason City, or Brainerd, your home can experience issues that can threaten its safety, comfort, and value. From basement water intrusion and foundation settlement to crawl space moisture, sinking concrete, and high radon levels, these problems are common. The good news? American Waterworks has experience, crews, and proven solutions to handle them all. 

Basement Waterproofing Solutions

Water intrusion is one of the most common issues homeowners face throughout our service area. If you have water in your basement and are unsure who to call near you, American Waterworks is the right choice. In the Twin Cities, many older homes lack proper waterproofing systems, leaving the basements vulnerable to leaks and moisture damage, so it is important to find the right waterproofing company in Minneapolis. Along the Mississippi River in Western Wisconsin, heavy rains and flooding increase a home's chance for basement water repair. In Fargo and the surrounding North Dakota communities, the flooding of the Red River, fluctuating weather, and saturated soil conditions create simliar concerns. Northeast Iowa homeowners have also experienced increasingly severe storms and rainfall in recent years, leading to flooding. 

No matter the cause, American Waterworks is the best waterproofing basement company that provides solutions designed to keep your home dry year-round. Our WaterGuard drainage system captures water at the perimeter of the basement and redirects it away from your home. We also install high-performance sump pump systems, like the TripleSafe Sump Pump, with battery backup protection to keep your basement protected, even during power outages. To complete the system, our CleanSpace wall system creates a durable moisture barrier that helps prevent future water intrusion while giving your basement a cleaner, brighter appearance. 

Foundation Repair

Foundation problems can happen anywhere, but the causes often vary by region. Older homes throughout Minnesota commonly experience foundation settlement as structures age over time. In North Dakota, expansive clay soil can place tremendous pressure on foundation walls, causing stair-step foundation cracking, bowing, and movement. Northeast Iowa homes are often affected by cycles of extreme wet and dry weather that shift the soil beneath the foundation. Homes near the Mississippi River may also experience increased hydrostatic pressure, where groundwater pushes against basement walls and causes structural damage.

American Waterworks offers foundation repair solutions built to stabilize your home for the long haul. Our GeoLock Wall Anchor system permanently reinforces bowing basement walls by anchoring them into stable soil beyond the home. For homeowners looking to avoid exterior excavation, PowerBraces systems provide strong interior wall stabilization, with the potential to straighten walls over time. We install both Helical Piers and Push Piers to lift and stabilize settling foundations and restore homes closer to their original position. No matter if you are looking for foundation repair services in Rochester, MN, or structural repair contractors in Minnetonka, MN, American Waterwork is here to help! 

Concrete Lifting & Leveling Services

Uneven concrete is a problem we see throughout Minnesota, North Dakota, Western Wisconsin, and Northeast Iowa. Concrete sidewalk repair in Saint Paul, MN, neighborhoods, concrete problems in Grand Forks, ND, concrete step repair in Eau Claire, WI, and cracked concrete repair in Mason City, IA, are all issues that need to be properly addressed to prevent trip hazards and preserve value. 

Instead of replacing damaged concrete, American Waterworks offers a faster and more cost-effective repair solution with PolyLevel. This high-density polyurethane foam is injected beneath the slab to fill voids, stabilize the soil, and carefully lift the concrete back into place. We also use NexusPro Concrete Joint Sealant to repair cracks and seal joints, helping protect concrete surfaces from future water damage and deterioration.

Crawl Space Encapsulation and Repair

Crawl spaces are often overlooked, but problems below your home can quickly impact the entire structure. Older homes from Alexandria, MN, to Tomah, WI, frequently have crawl spaces that lack proper moisture protection. A homeowner in Bismarck, ND, may be looking to fix sagging floors due to a crawl space. While another homeowner may be looking for crawl space sealing in Decorah, IA. All these homes battle mold, mildew, and structural concerns caused by changing moisture conditions. 

American Waterworks provides complete crawl space encapsulation and repair services to help create a healthier, more stable home. Our CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System is a vapor barrier that seals out moisture, while Drainage Matting helps direct water away from the crawl space floor. For sagging floors and weakened support systems, the SmartJack crawl space stabilizer can support and strengthen the structure above. 

Radon Testing & Mitigation

Radon is an invisible, naturally occurring radioactive gas that can affect any home, regardless of age, size, or location. Unfortunately, Minnesota, North Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin all have some of the highest average radon levels in the country due to the region's geology and climate. 

The average radon levels in the homes in our service area are listed below:

MN: 4.6 pCi/L

ND: 6.0 pCi/L

IA: 6.1 pCi/L

WI: 5.7 pCi/L

American Waterworks provides professional radon testing and radon mitigation services throughout most of our service area, radon testing is not offered in Iowa. Our custom radon mitigation systems use specialized PVC piping and high-performance fans to safely redirect radon gas from beneath your home and vent it outside, helping create a safe indoor environment for your family.
