Experienced Foundation Repair & Waterproofing Company in Eden Prairie, MN

After a heavy rain, a homeowner in Eden Prairie, MN, found that their basement showed signs of water intrusion. To prevent any further damage, the homeowners began searching for an expert opinion. On their way home one evening, the homeowners noticed several American Waterworks yard signs throughout the neighborhood. Taking notice, the homeowners decided to do some investigating and see all the services we offer. Impressed by our previous work, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. As soon as the details were finalized, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Eric, to inspect the status of the level of water damage in the basement. Following his analysis, Eric found that was seeping into the basement and needed to be repaired. Eric recommended several versions of his solution to the homeowners and they picked the one that was best fit for their situation. Then, Eric sent the plan to the assigned crew and production commenced. Our Foreman, Jeremiah, and his crew arrived at the home and started by prepping the basement for the WaterGuard installation. The WaterGuard is an award-winning, below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. To begin the installation, the crew digs a channel along the footing of the west wall. Once the channel is dug, the crew can put the WaterGuard into place. Once in place, the crew covered the WaterGuard channels with rocks and cement. Next, the crew shifted their focus to installing the SuperSump Plus to tie into the current water system. The SuperSump Plus is engineered to assist in keeping the basement dry and healthy for extended periods and in heavy water intrusion. To prevent freezing or clogged discharge lines, the crew installed the IceGuard, an anti-freezing fitting that is installed on the outside of your home and ejects water away from the foundation. To finish the project, the crew installed CleanSpace along the entire west wall. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that is perfect for unfinished basement walls. The crew installs CleanSpace by mechanically attaching them to the walls with plastic rilled-in fasteners, so it won't fall off the wall. Once the crew finished the installation, they cleaned up their job site and left the home. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

Jon W. in Eden Prairie, MN had a large crack through the concrete on his steps and his concrete had started sinking, causing a trip hazard. He previously had his stoop mud-jacked, but he was having problems again. He started looking for another concrete repair contractor to see what his options were, and he was directed to American Waterworks. He was curious to learn more about our PolyLevel concrete repair, so he contacted us to receive a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to his home to assess his concrete situation and develop a solution. Jon was glad to learn that PolyLevel is a durable, faster, and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair, so he scheduled a date for the installation.

Our Foreman, Brandon Wiskow, drilled small holes into the concrete on his stoop where he needed to inject the foam. He injected our PolyLevel into the holes until the concrete slab was level. Then, he sealed the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant, which protects the concrete and gives it a nice, finished look. The process only took about half a day, and now Jon will be able to enjoy level concrete for years to come.

Jessica W. in Eden Prairie, MN had a sump pump in her basement, yet water was still seeping in. She was frustrated of dealing with a wet basement that was making the space dirty and unlivable. She started looking for a local waterproofing contractor, and she found American Waterworks’ website. She gave us a call to set up a free estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to her home to inspect her basement and to design a solution. Chad answered her questions and addressed her concerns. She was pleased with the proposal that Chad developed, so she decided to move forward with having our waterproofing system installed.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump system. The WaterGuard properly drains the water that is leaking into the basement to the sump pump. From there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Jessica has peace of mind that her basement will always be protected from water. She is glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her home.
