Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company in Fargo, ND

Linda from Fargo, ND noticed that her basement walls started to bow inward which affected the home by showing cracks on the Drywall. Linda was worried about the foundation of her home and wanted to prevent any further damage to her home. She then came into contact with our Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and claimed her FREE estimate which entitles her to a free home inspection. Once the appointment was scheduled our Design Specialist began a thorough inspection to get a better understanding of the issue that Linda is experiencing.  The Design Specialist came to the conclusion that the best solution for Linda is to invest in our GeoLock Wall Anchor System. Linda agreed with the proposal and proceeded with the project by scheduling an installation date. 

Our Forman along with their Production crew then began the project by digging six holes parallel and 12 feet away from the problem wall. Once dug the team then drills and inserts a 12-foot rod through the problem wall until it is exposed in the hole that is dug parallel to the wall. Once exposed an anchor is attached to both ends of the rod allowing the problem wall to be pushed back to its original position. When the GeoLock Wall anchors are in place the team then proceeds to backfill the hole to its original look. 

Linda was satisfied with the project and loved the great service the Production crew provided!

Steve W. of Fargo, ND had cracked and uneven concrete on his front walkway and he wanted to get it repaired rather than replaced. He found American Waterworks and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist went to Steve's home, inspected his concrete, and came up with a plan that worked for him and his needs. Steve was confident in the proposal of our NexusPro and PolyLevel, so he got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his crew injected our PolyLevel underneath the concrete to lift and stabilize the surface. Our PolyLevel is designed to fill the voids underneath the concrete that is caused by soil erosion. It is a quick installation, non-invasive, and your concrete can be used within 15 minutes of injection. Next, our team applied our NexusPro over the cracks which is a special sealant that prevents moisture from seeping into the cracks and it gives the concrete a nice, clean finish. Steve was happy with the work and his peace of mind was restored!

Radon is the first cause of cancer among non-smokers in the United States, and over 20,000 Americans die from radon-related lung cancer each year. Breathing radon gas is a greater health risk than ingesting water that contains radon, and it's a greater health risk to children than to adults. 

Krystal V. of Fargo, ND was curious about the radon levels in her home so she did some research on HomeAdvisor to find a local contractor that could help her. She came across American Waterworks and found out that we perform in that kind of work and provide FREE Estimates for all of our services. She called our office line and set up a FREE Estimate to get her home tested by our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to Krystal's home, tested her levels, and notified her that the results came back high. To make sure the air she was breathing was and is safe, she decided to get our Radon Mitigation System installed in her home, so she signed the contract and wrote a deposit check.

Our Foreman, Geno Mclain, and his crew member started the Radon Mitigation installation by drilling a hole through the concrete floor of the basement. The purpose of doing that is to form a suction point for the radon gas. Our crew ran the piping up through the basement wall, to the outside of the home, and up to the roof. Geno installed a fan at the top of the PVC pipe to make sure that the radon gas was being pushed up and away from the home. The installation took less than a day to complete. Krystal's radon levels went down dramatically. She was much happier living and breathing in her home knowing that she was living in a much safer environment.

Alan I. of Fargo, ND was experiencing a settling foundation, making him feel nervous about the safety of living in his home. He went to his local home show to see if he could find a contractor that could help him. After seeing American Waterworks and discussing our foundation repair products with our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, Alan felt confident with our work. He scheduled a FREE Estimate for Rick to come to his home, inspect the problem, and come up with a solution. After an in-depth examination, Alan felt comfortable with Rick's proposal, and our foundation repair helical piers, so he went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, began the installation by digging the soil out from the area around the foundation and had the helical pier sections be mechanically "screwed" into the soil. Once the depths were met, the foundation brackets were installed below and against the foundation footing/ The weight of Alan's home was then transferred through the helical piers to deeper soils. His home was then lifted back into its original position. To complete the project, Matt and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil, leaving the home looking neater than when they found it. 

Take-away about our helical piers: They create a supporting base that helps transfer the weight of the home down towards the stronger, supportive soils.
