WaterGuard Rescues Basement in Dodge Center, MN

A homeowner in Dodge Center, MN, discovered water stains and damage throughout their basement. Knowing this was a larger issue, the homeowner searched for the best waterproofing business. Our stellar reviews and rating caught their eye, so the homeowner did further investigation into our company. After seeing we offer FREE estimates, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for theirs. After the appointment was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Dustin, one of our Design Specialists. Dustin arrived at the home and started inspecting the water damage. Dustin determined that the water was seeping at the bottom of the walls and required additional waterproofing. The homeowner agreed with Dustin's recommendations and the plans were sent to our Foreman, Kiko, and crew. Once Kiko and his crew arrived at the home, they prepared the home for the WaterGuard installation. The WaterGuard is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. As soon as the preparations were complete, the crew dug and placed the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Additionally, the crew dug a feed line from the sump pump to tie it into the new WaterGuard system. The crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was safe and properly waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to assist another homeowner.

Damp Basement Gets a Makeover in Glenville, MN

A homeowner from Glenville, MN, was growing frustrated with his damp basement. It had been hot and humid for years, and in the interest of one day selling the property, the homeowner decided to begin the search for a basement waterproofing company in Glenville, MN. When he found our website, he decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brady, headed out to the home. 

Once Brady concluded his inspection, he informed the homeowner that his professional recommendation would be to install our Basement to Beautiful Insulated Wall Panels. Brady explained that unfinished basements are notorious for lacking proper insulation, leading to cold floors, humid basements, and inefficient homes. Basement To Beautiful™ Basement Wall Panels are the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient basement. Designed with the unique, advanced SilverGlo™ graphite-infused foam insulation, this insulation provides 24% more energy savings than conventional foam products. At 2 ½" thick and R-13 insulation, Basement To Beautiful™ panels create a warm, protective blanket around your basement that will never rot or support mold growth. The homeowner agreed with Brady's recommendations, and the job was scheduled for a few months later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, and his team ended up installing 79 ft of our Basement to Beautiful panels. Now, our customer can enjoy his home, knowing it's functioning efficiently! 

Beautiful Basement Transformation in Glenville, MN

Ken L. in Glenville, MN was concerned about the air quality in their basement. He had their basement tested for mold by another contractor and they confirmed that they did in fact have mold. They removed the mold and recommended that he look into having his basement waterproofed. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to their home to inspect his basement and design the right solution specific to their waterproofing needs. Ken was pleased with our thorough plan to waterproof their basement, so he chose to move forward with the installation.

Our production crew removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor and drilled small holes through the wall which released the water that was built up. They laid the WaterGuard drainage system and installed the TripleSafe sump pump, which is our most reliable sump pump system. The WaterGuard now properly guides water to the sump pump and the water is then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Lastly, they installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system which protects the basement from humidity and future mold growth. They replaced the concrete and the project was complete! Ken’s basement has been completely transformed to a dry, healthier space, and his peace of mind has been restored.
