The homeowner came upon our website and was highly impressed with our 5-star reviews and before and after transformations, he decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection of the basement and to answer any questions the homeowner had. He then created a proposal with recommendations for the homeowner to review. Our Design Specialist recommended installing our SuperSump+, our sump pump system that is capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape if the sump pump discharge line freezes or becomes blocked. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to the suggestions and scheduled a date for the installation. 

In about two months, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home to install the SuperSump+ and 1 IceGuard. They installed the sump pump by excavating a flooring where the pump liner and sump pump would be placed. Then, the sump pump is installed and is connected to the drain system. It is also connected to the IceGuard, which is installed outside of the home. Lastly, the crew restores the floor using concrete. After they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Long Lake, MN, was facing multiple issues in her basement, such as unstable walls and standing water. She decided to get the issues addressed rather than waiting longer and began searching for services in the area. She found our website and was impressed with our before and after transformations and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 

One of our Design Specialists arrived on the scheduled date to assess the basement. When he arrived at the home, he noticed multiple issues with the basement. First, he noticed the stair-step cracks that had formed along the walls. He then noticed that the homeowner's current sump pump was out of date and was unable to properly remove water away from the home. Lastly, he noticed mold growing in a few spots as the moisture levels in the basement were extremely high. To fix this issue, our Design Specialist recommended installing our CleanSpace wall system, WaterGuard drain system, IceGuard discharge line, SuperSump+ sump pump system, GeoLock wall anchors, and Aprilaire Dehumidifier. The homeowner agreed and decided to move forward with the project. 

In a couple of months, our crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by attaching 120ft of CleanSpace on the walls using drilled-in fasteners to ensure it stays in place. Then, they installed 1 IceGuard and 136ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the home and replaced the current sump pump with our SuperSump+. Once those were installed, the crew installed 10 GeoLock wall anchors by digging a hole several feet away from the foundation. The earth anchor is then placed inside and attached to the interior wall. Both anchors are connected by a small steel pole that runs through the ground. Lastly, the crew installs our dehumidifier inside of the home. Before the crew cleans up their equipment and leave, they restore the flooring by pouring concrete. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind with her foundation walls stabilized and basement damp-free! Are you experiencing something similar? Don't wait and schedule your FREE estimate today by clicking HERE!

A homeowner in Long Lake, MN, grew alarmed after finding water stains and damp spots throughout their basement. Wanting a lasting solution, the homeowner looked began looking into professional waterproofing businesses near them. At first, the homeowner was overwhelmed by all the options around them, but after taking a closer look they found the best company for them, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Nick, one of our Design Specialists. Nick arrived at the home and began the detailed inspection of the basement. Following his inspection, Nick determined that the basement needed to be properly waterproofed. Nick came up with a solution that would solve several issues in the basement and the homeowner decided to follow his plan. Once the plan was approved by the homeowner and the office, they were sent to our Foreman, Diego. The crew traveled to the home and began the project. First, the crew installed the WaterGuard on the North and West walls. The WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed or drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs 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 channel. 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 the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. The crew connected the SuperSump+ into the WaterGuard system. Next, the crew installed an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. The IceGuard is an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of your home and ejects water away from the foundation. Finally, the crew installed the Aprilaire E70 in the home to control the humidity. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was no longer at risk of water intrusion.

A homeowner in Long Lake, MN, was working on some yard work when they discovered a large crack growing on the outside of their garage's foundation. Concerned by this finding, the homeowner immediately searched for a solution. During their search, the homeowners stumbled across our five-star reviews. Once they saw the many positive reviews, the homeowner decided to look into our company more. After completing further research, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate with us. One of our Design Specialists, Nick, arrived at the home to begin his inspection. Following his detailed inspection, Nick determined that the garage wall needed to be permanently stabilized. Nick recommended some solutions that would solve the homeowner's issues. After contemplating their options, the homeowner agreed with Nick's recommendations, and production commenced. Our Foreman, Jeremiah, and his crew received the plans and began the stabilization process. To solve the crack issue, the crew installed five GeoLocks along the outside of the south foundation wall. To install the Geolocks, the crew begins by digging a small hole in the ground. Once the hole is dug, the crew places its first anchor into the ground. Once the anchor is in place, the crew inserts a small steel pole through the ground to connect to the interior GeoLock anchor. Once the anchors are connected, the crew can cover the hole and clean up their job site. After the crew completed the project, the homeowners investigated the finished product.

Ryan and Calista H. of Long Lake, MN had water seeping into their basement and wanted to get it taken care of as soon as possible. They gave American Waterworks a call to schedule a Free Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, met them at their home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After an in-depth and detailed diagnosis, Ryan and Calista felt very comfortable with Chad's proposal so they followed through with the project.

Our foreman, Cory Sather, and his production crew began the installation by cutting out the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to form a trench. Next, our team installed 81 feet of FoamMax around the perimeter of the basement wall. FoamMax is a foam insulation wall protection that prevents humidity and keeps walls from leaking. Then, Cory and our crew installed 90 feet of WaterGuard in the floor trench, filled the open gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. Our WaterGuard System serves as an underground drain for contaminated water and prevents water clogs. 

To complete the installation, our crew spray 144 square feet of Spray Foam on the tops and bottoms of the FoamMax to make sure it stayed secure. Ryan and Calista were very happy with the outcome, and appreciated all of the hard work!
