In Lakeville, MN, a homeowner noticed that their sump pump began making rattling noises during heavy storms and was concerned it was no longer working as it should be. Knowing the importance of a reliable sump pump, the homeowner began looking into bad sump pump inspections and found our website. After browsing our website and becoming highly impressed by our 5-star reviews, the homeowner knew we would do the job done right the first time. They quickly took action and contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, they tested the sump pump and looked out for signs of water leaks. Our Design Specialist also highlighted the importance of a reliable sump pump since it is your home's first line of defense against water intrusion. When it is no longer functioning correctly, water can enter the home and lead to issues like structural damage and mold growth. After confirming the sump pump is no longer working up to par, our Design Specialist began working on a solution. They recommended replacing the sump pump with SuperSump+, our extremely reliable sump system capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge system that allows water to escape in freezing temperatures to prevent sump burnout. After reviewing the proposal and being pleased by the warranties that come with our products, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jeromy A., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. After the sump system was replaced by SuperSump+, and hooked to all discharge lines, the crew installed IceGuard at the exterior of the home. After confirming everything is installed successfully, the crew restored the flooring.

A homeowner in Lakeville, MN, contacted us at American Waterworks after noticing disturbing signs of water intrusion in their basement. Concerned about potential damage to their home and desirous of a long-term solution, they quickly sought the advice of certified basement waterproofing experts in their vicinity. Our well-structured approach assured the homeowner of our commitment to providing comprehensive solutions. We initiated the process by scheduling a convenient home inspection, where our Design Specialist conducted a meticulous assessment to evaluate the situation. The inspection revealed water seepage from both foundation walls and floor joints, necessitating a robust waterproofing strategy. To address their concerns, we recommended implementing our trusted WaterGuard® drainage system, CleanSpace® liner, and the state-of-the-art TripleSafe™ sump pump system. The WaterGuard® system was skillfully installed just below the basement surface, ensuring efficient water channeling from critical points to prevent further intrusion. Our team discreetly incorporated it beneath a layer of fresh concrete, designed not to clog, unlike traditional French drains. Simultaneously, the CleanSpace® liner was impeccably placed to acts as a moisture barrier, enhancing crawl space health and preserving the structural integrity of the home's foundation. Completing the solution, we introduced the TripleSafe™ sump pump system, offering triple redundancy to manage any water accumulation with a reliable battery backup to mitigate power outages. The culmination of these efforts resulted in a completely dry and revitalized basement. The homeowner now enjoys the peace of mind knowing that their home, their largest investment, is duly protected, signifying our company's unwavering dedication to resolving basement waterproofing challenges.

In Lakeville, MN, a homeowner recently came across an article about radon and its impact on their health. Concerned that their family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner decided to visit their local hardware store to purchase a radon testing kit. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, which is the recommended action level by the EPA. The homeowner, looking for radon mitigation system installers in the area, found our website. Impressed by our stellar reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the layout of the home and worked closely with the homeowner on the best placement of our radon mitigation system. Kyle also explained that because radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the soil beneath the home and enters through cracks in the foundation, radon will always be found in the home. That is why having a system, like our radon mitigation system, is extremely important to get those levels down to a safe amount. With radon being the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US, the homeowner quickly understood the impact a radon mitigation system would have on their home and family. Kyle recommended installing the fan in the attic of the garage and having it connect through the sump pump. Confident in our team, the homeowner happily agreed to the recommendations and scheduled the installation date with one of our crews.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by drilling a small hole into the sump pump system located in the basement. A PVC pipe is then inserted, and the fan is installed in the attic. Those are then connected with piping. Lastly, additional piping is installed from the fan to the roofline. Once the installation was completed, the crew ensured everything was working properly before cleaning up their equipment and leaving the home.

In Lakeville, MN, a homeowner had noticed that their porch had become uneven and was concerned about the possible trip hazards. Wanting to find a long-term solution, the homeowner began looking into concrete repair in the area and found our website. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our stellar reviews and our concrete repair before and after photos, the homeowner became confident in our team and contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE concrete repair estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection of the concrete slabs. During the inspection, he took a close look at the concrete slabs and identified which needed lifting. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, our Design Specialist explained that the reason they were experiencing sunken slabs was because of soil washout. Soil washout is the process in which water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils, keeping the slabs upright. Over time, this causes gaps in the soil, and the slabs would begin to sink. To lift the slabs back to their original position, our Design Specialist recommended installing PolyLevel, our poly foam expanding solution, and sealing the joints with NexusPro, our silicone sealant. Confident in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by drilling small, precise holes into the concrete slabs. Then, the injection ports are inserted, and the PolyLevel is injected beneath the slabs. The foam expands through the soil, filling in the gaps, causing the slabs to lift. Once the slabs were successfully lifted and leveled with PolyLevel, NexusPro was applied along the joints.

A homeowner in Lakeville, MN noticed that their walkway and the concrete slabs around their pool had begun settling posing a dangerous trip hazard. Wanting to address the issue right away, the homeowner looked into concrete lifting and leveling in the area and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner grew impressed with our concrete before and after photos and 5-star reviews, so he decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection and to answer any questions the homeowner had. He explained to the homeowner that it was good to address settling concrete right away as it would only continue to worsen and not only be a trip hazard but impact the home's curb appeal and resale value. The homeowner agreed and after Kyle was done with the inspection, he created a proposal suggesting our PolyLevel to lift the settling slabs, NexusPro, to seal the joints to provide a seamless look, and SealantPro, to protect the concrete and increase its life span. After reviewing Kyle's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the date of the installation.

In about a month, our Foreman, Ryan T., and his crew arrived at the home to apply SealantPro. SealantPro protects concrete as it is stain and UV-resistant. As this is applied it leaves a green tint to ensure that our crew is applying the product evenly. However, once it is dry, it becomes clear and the green tint is no longer visible! In about another month, our Foreman, Dylon V., and his crew arrived to install PolyLevel and NexusPro. They began by drilling small holes into the concrete slabs and inserting injection ports into the holes. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, expanding and filling in the empty spaces in the soil causing the slab to lift to the desired level. The crew then seals the holes with cement. Lastly, they used NexusPro to seal the joints. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A Lakeville, MN, homeowner had noticed an odd situation occurring. After each rain, the corner of her room would take on water, making the carpet damp and leaving the room bathed in a musty smell. Not wanting the issue to worsen, she began to look for a basement waterproofing company in Minnesota. Off of the referral of a friend, she decided to contact American Waterworks and set up her FREE estimate. A few weeks later, one of our Design Specialist, Dustin A, headed out to the home. When he arrived, he got right to work completing his inspection and then met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Dustin began by explaining that typically, waterproofing issues are most commonly noticed in the corner of rooms. This means that the soil around the foundation of the home is saturated, and through tiny cracks or holes in the wall, it is finding it's way into the room. He went on to say that American Waterworks could certainly help. First, Dustin recommended the use of our WaterGuard drainage system. WaterGuard is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in the bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. By installing the drain at this point, the drain is out of the "mud zone" where similar drains tend to clog. It works to catch water entering through the wall or ground, directing it to the homeowner's sump pump. Dustin's second recommendation was our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets adhered directly to the problem walls. It collects water entering the room through the holes or cracks in the wall, and directs the water downward and into the WaterGuard, which drains the water from the space. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and decided to schedule his project for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, the homeowner was thrilled when our Foreman, Luis, and his team completed the installation with no issues. Now, our customer's room boasts 99ft of WaterGuard and another 99ft of CleanSpace, all working to keep water where it belongs...not on the floor!

A homeowner in Lakeville, MN was tired of dealing with water entering one of the rooms in her basement every time it rained. Not only was it tiresome to clean up the mess, but also left behind areas of water damage to the concrete flooring. She knew it was time to take action and find a solution, so she went online to search "waterproofing Minneapolis." She found the American Waterworks website and decided to sign up for a FREE no-obligation estimate with us to learn more. Our Design Specialist, Darin Stenglein, went to the home to carry out a detailed inspection of the basement and see what recommendations he could come up with. Darin explained to the homeowner that because the floors were concrete, there were likely small cracks and pores in them where the water entered from. To tackle this problem, he recommended our WaterGuard basement drain system be installed to the perimeter of the room to catch incoming water and safely send it away. The homeowner was excited to hear that something could be done, so she agreed to the installation. Later, one of our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew arrived at the site and began the project by jackhammering channels along the perimeter of the basement room. They partly filled in the channels with drainage stone followed by the WaterGuard drains and more clean stone on top. Finally, they poured and smoothed concrete in the channels to provide protection to the drains by keeping out dirt and debris from entering. The homeowner was very happy with how the project went and relieved that water wouldn't be making its way inside the home anymore.

Tim from Lakeville, MN, noticed a crack and bow on the foundation wall supporting his garage, causing him to worry about the structural integrity of his home. He then proceeded to call the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks after hearing about the FREE estimate we offer. Once claiming his free estimate and scheduled an appointment, our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew then attended Tim's home and began a thorough house inspection to provide the best solution to prevent any further damage or future issues involving the home's foundation. After the inspection, Shane proposed that Tim should invest in our GeoLock Wall Anchors to permanently stabilize the issue wall. Tim was content with the proposal and proceeded to set a date of installation. 

Then, on the day of installation, our Foreman Jesus C., and his team then began the installation process by digging four holes inside the garage large enough to fit an anchor plate. Once dug, the team then proceeds to drill holes through the issue wall and insert a long rod that goes through the hard compact soil underneath the home. Once the rods are inserted the production team then proceeds to attach a wall anchor plate at the end of each side of the rod. Once the job was finished the team backfilled the holes and place a layer of concrete to provide a more finishing look. The GeoLock Wall anchors could be tightened over time to provide more stability in straightening the wall over time. Tim is now comfortable that his home's foundation is in no danger.
