The Contractor of Choice for Grand Forks, ND's Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repairs

After suffering days of heavy rain, a homeowner in Grand Forks, ND, had a hunch their basement was struggling. The homeowner decided to go to the basement and investigate. After taking a closer look, the homeowner was startled to find their basement had been damaged significantly. Worried this could cause long-lasting damage, the homeowner began looking into possible repair options closest to them. During their investigation, the homeowner came across our 5-star rated services and was impressed. Next, the crew went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, James, to begin the appointment. James arrived at the home and began his thorough investigation of the basement. During his investigation, James found that the north and south corners of the basement were causing the water intrusion. James told the homeowner of his findings and was able to provide them with a solution. The homeowner agreed with James' recommendations, so the plans were sent to our Logistics team to be finalized. Once they were given the final stamp of approval, they were assigned to our Foreman, Emmanuel, and his crew to begin the project. After they arrived, Emmanuel and his crew started by installing WaterGuard in the northern and southern basement corners. The WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew can go ahead and place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on top of the stone and covered with cement. Once the WaterGuard is in place, the crew could shift their focus to removing and installing a feedline across the basement floor. After the feedline was secured, the crew shifted their focus to installing CleanSpace on the unfinished basement walls. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that prevents humidity and mold growth. The crew installs CleanSpace by mechanically attaching them to the basement walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted to know their basement was properly waterproofed and safe from further water intrusion. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!

A homeowner in Grand Forks, ND, tripped while walking on their sidewalk one evening. Worried that someone else would get injured, the homeowner knew they needed to find a professional solution. Unsure where to look, the homeowner looked at the Better Business Bureau website. At the top of the list was us, American Waterworks, so they decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once their estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of James, one of our Design Specialists. James arrived at the home and began his detailed inspection of the sidewalk. Following his thorough inspection, James suggested lifting the sidewalk and two slabs of the driveway. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed and the plans were approved by the office. Our Foreman, Charlie, and his crew were assigned to complete the project. Once they arrived at the home, they started by lifting the sidewalk and driveway. To lift the driveway the crew used PolyLevel. The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of the concrete. The crew started by strategically drilling small holes throughout the slab. Then, the crew inserts ports into those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew shifted their focus to filling the cracks and replacing the joints. The crew utilized NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. After the project was complete, the crew cleaned up their items and left the home. The homeowner was thankful to know the tripping hazard was eliminated. If you are suffering from a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
