Leaky Basement Fixed in Saint Paul, MN

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, was at his wits end with his basement. No matter what the homeowner did, one corner of his home was constantly taking on water, leaving him with puddles and musty odors. The homeowner was concerned that if he didn't address the problem now, soon his basement would be underwater. The homeowner had no idea who to contact about basement waterproofing in St. Paul, but eventually found our website. She was impressed with our basement waterproofing before and after photo sets and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo V, was headed out to the home. 

When Romeo arrived, he got right to work inspecting the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowners. Romeo explained that he believed the leaky basement could be fixed with two of our products. First, Romeo recommended our WaterGuard drain. This unique French drain gets installed around the perimeter of the basement, below the floor slab, but atop the footing of the foundation to keep it out of the 'mud zone,' where similar drains tend to clog. Romeo explained that this drain works to collect water entering through holes or cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Through his inspection, Romeo noticed that the basement of the home lacked a sump pump, so he recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an economical yet effective solution for ridding your basement of unwanted water. The homeowner liked the sound of Romeo's plan and decided to schedule the project for a month or so later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo M, and his team were able to install 49ft of WaterGuard and 1 SuperSump sump pump in the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy his basement without worries of a leaky corner! 

WaterGuard System Installed in Maplewood, MN

A homeowner in Maplewood, MN was worried about his basement when he went downstairs to the space and found some water damage to the floors in the utility room. He figured this wasn't a good sign and was determined to make a change sooner than later to prevent future issues from happening again. As he lived near the cities and knew there would be more luck with finding a service with that city name, so he looked up "waterproofing Minneapolis." The American Waterworks company website showed up and he quickly became interested in the products and services that we offered. He signed up for one of our FREE estimates and was later met by one of our Design Specialists, Darin Stenglein. Darin inspected the basement space and informed the homeowner that our WaterGuard basement drainage system and CleanSpace wall vapor barrier would be the perfect solution for his basement. The homeowner agreed to the installations and looked forward to the project moving forward. Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew went to the site and carefully installed both products. The homeowner was happy with the results and thanked our crew for their hard work.

Egress Window Well Installed in Maplewood, MN

A homeowner in Maplewood, MN, had been thinking about installing an egress window for a while so that her family would have a means of escape in case of an emergency. She decided it was time to get started on the home project and began looking for services in the area. The homeowner found our website, and after browsing, was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 
In a couple of weeks our Design Specialist, Brad W, arrived at the home to inspect the basement. The homeowner had informed Brad which window she would like the egress to be installed and Brad quickly worked on a design and solution for the homeowner. He explained that our RockWell window well duplicates the appearance of stone, providing a pleasing look both inside and outside of the home. Alongside this, our egress also has steps that can be used to easily leave the home and also allow more light to get into the basement. After the homeowner reviewed Brad's proposal, she decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Francisco E., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by digging out the soil outside of the window to ensure there was enough space where the RockWell would be placed. Then, the original window is removed and replaced it with a larger window to ensure that it remains up to code. After this, the RockWell is placed down and attached to the foundation. Lastly, the crew installs the safety cover to keep leaves and debris out. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind that her family has an escape route in case of any emergency. Are you experiencing something similar? Click HERE and schedule your FREE estimate today!

The homeowner agreed and work began a few weeks later.

A few days later, Jesse promptly arrived at the home and began the detailed inspection of the basement. During his evaluation, Jesse confirmed the water was sneaking in through the basement corners. To prevent the issue from continuing, Jesse recommended installing several waterproofing products. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Jesse’s solution. Next, Jesse passed the proposal to our Logistics team to finalize the details. Our Logisitcs team approved the proposal, then scheduled the project for a few months later. After the project date arrived, our Foreman, Francisco and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Francisco and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter.
