Devoted Foundation & Basement Repair Contractor in Martin County, MN

Mark J. in Sherburn, MN had water leaking into his finished basement which caused a significant amount of water damage. Unfortunately, their carpet was ruined and a few other belongings, so they decided to have their basement waterproofed to prevent this from happening again. The contacted the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect the basement and provide him with a solution. Mark was pleased with our products and the proposal, so he scheduled to have our waterproofing system installed.

Our crew removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor and laid our WaterGuard drainage system, feed lines, a TripleSafe sump pump and a discharge line. The water is now guided through the drainage system to the sump pump, and from there the water is expelled from the home through the discharge line. Mark's basement is now a dry, clean space and he is glad he chose to protect his home!

Suzanne L. of Truman, MN had water leaking in her basement so she called American Waterworks to set up a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to diagnose the issue and come up with a solution. After an in-depth inspection, Suzanne approved of Dylan’s proposal so she went ahead and scheduled the installation date.

Our foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production team began the installation by cutting out the entire concrete floor perimeter of the basement form a trench. On the right side of the basement, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sup Pump System, which is one of the best sump pumps we provide for our customers and has three levels of wet-free protection. The sump pump discharge line ended outside at the LawnScape Outlet; an “escape” for contaminated water to exit the basement. Next, our crew installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which prevents water clogs and serves as an underground drain. Finally, Cole and his production team filled the empty gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Suzanne was excited with the final product, and enjoyed her new and improved dry basement!

Joanne E. of Granada, MN had water leaking in her basement and she didn't know how to take care of it herself. To resolve the issue, she called American Waterworks to set up a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Reed Hudson, to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough presentation, Joanne felt comfortable with the proposal, so she went ahead and scheduled an installation date.

To begin the installation process, our foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team cut out 136 feet of concrete around the basement perimeter. After that, they applied 136 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter and used spray foam to keep it securely in place. Our CleanSpace is a vapor barrier made to prevent any mold or humidity from invading the walls and provides the basement with a bright appearance. Next, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump which is the best sump pump we have and has three levels of water protection to pump water waste out through the discharge line. To complete the installation, our production team installed our WaterGuard System in the broken-out concrete, filled the open gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. Our WaterGuard prevents water clogs, catches water waste from beneath the CleanSpace, and provides a path to the sump pump. Joanne was absolutely thrilled about her and new improved basement, and was grateful we were able to help her! 

JoAnn B. of Trimont, MN had water seeping into her basement, so she called American Waterworks to learn about our basement waterproofing products. After gaining some information, she set up a Free Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, went to her home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, JoAnn set up a date for installation.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete around the perimeter and down the middle of the basement to form a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard System around the perimeter, and a feed line down the middle. Our WaterGuard serves as an underground drain and catches any water seepage from the walls. From the feed line, our crew installed our SuperSump Plus Sump Pump, designed to keep basements clean for an extended period of time. With the help of the WaterGuard and feed line, water can be pumped up and out of the basement much more efficiently. The discharge line from the sump pump leads to the IceGuard System outside of the home, made to prevent ice or snow from causing the waterproofing system to fail. To complete the project, Juan and his team filled the empty gaps with rock and replaced the broken-out concrete. JoAnn was pleased with the work that was done, and relieved she no longer had to deal with any water problems!

Dylan went to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Dennis approved of Dylan's proposal and got all of his questions answered, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Edgar Miranda, and his production team began the project by laying down 54 feet of drainage matting on the crawl space floor. Drainage matting gives the water flooding into the crawl space a channel underneath the crawl space liner. It directs the water to the perimeter crawl space drain and sump pump system. Next, our crew installed 54 feet of our CleanSpace Encapsulation, which is made to stop moisture from passing through the floors and concrete walls. It also transforms the crawl space into a clean, dry, and energy-efficient part of the house. Dennis was happy with the work and was grateful we were able to restore his home repair needs!

Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. When they arrived the crew began by installing the WaterGuard around the entire perimeter of the basement. The crew begins by digging a small trench around the perimeter of the basement. Then, a drainage stone is placed in the trench and the WaterGuard is placed on top. Once the WaterGuard is secured into place, the crew covers it with cement and smooths it out to give a uniform finish. Additionally, a feedline was dug across the floor to ensure full protection. The crew removed the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. On the outside of the home, an IceGuard was installed on the discharge line. The IceGuard is an anti-freeze fitting that is installed on the outside of the home and ejects water away from the foundation in case the sump pump discharge line freezes or gets clogged. Finally, the crew installs CleanSpace on all the basement walls. The crew installs CleanSpace by mechanically attaching them to your basement walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners, so it doesn't fall off.

Not sure who to work with, the homeowner asked for advice from their neighbors and friends. A large response recommended they work with us, American Waterworks.

The plans were then directed to the assigned crew and preparation began. Our Foreman, Juan, arrived at the home to begin the stabilization process. First, the crew made sure the basement was cleared, so they could begin production. Once the basement was ready, the crew began installing five GeoLock anchors on the north wall. Geo-Lock wall anchors, an innovative wall anchor system that stabilizes the foundation wall by anchoring the wall to untouched soil. First, the crew excavated a small section of the lawn to insert the first Geo-Lock anchor. Then, a small steel pole is pushed through the soil to connect to the interior Geo-Lock anchor. Once the Geo-Lock anchors are connected and secured, the crew covers the hole in the lawn. Once they completed installing the GeoLocks, the crew cleaned up the site and left the home.

In Fairmont, MN a homeowner was tired of dealing with her back door patio area. Over time it had developed many small cracks and become uneven because of the sinking concrete. She knew she wanted to find a service sooner than later that would fix the problems before they continued to get worse. Going online, the homeowner looked for concrete contractors in the Minnesota area and sifted through the results. Once she clicked into the American Waterworks website, she quickly became impressed with our concrete repair products, especially our PolyLevel foam. She was curious if it was the right choice for her concrete, so she signed up for one of our FREE estimates. We received her request and sent over Design Specialist Nate Bernard to inspect the concrete and come up with a recommendation for her. Nate explained that PolyLevel would indeed be a great solution for the concrete, and he also suggested our NexusPro to clean up the space and make it look smooth. The homeowner agreed to the project plans and was ready to have the problems gone. Our Foreman, Troy Johnson, and his crew went to the site and drilled small holes in the concrete. They inserted ports inside the holes to reach the empty space below and carried out the PolyLevel injections to lift the concrete back up. A month later another Foreman, Ryan Trogstad, arrived at the site to make the finishing touches by sealing the joints with NexusPro sealant. He also sprinkled some native sand on top of the sealant for a smooth final look and the homeowner was very happy with the results.

A homeowner in Trimont, MN, had noticed that his sump pump was not working properly and unable to eject water from the basement. He remembered seeing one of our ads on TV and immediately searched for our website. He was pleased that we offer FREE estimates and decided to claim his. 

Our Design Specialist, Nick S., arrived at the home on the scheduled date and quickly assessed the basement. He noticed that the homeowner's current sump pump is extremely out of date and recommended our TripleSafe sump pump. He explained that our TripleSafe sump pump provides three levels of protection. The primary pump is placed at the lowest level and is capable of pumping 2,2,00 gallons of water per hour. The second pump is placed slightly higher in case the primary pump becomes overwhelmed. Both pumps, when working together, can remove 6,200 gallons of water per hour. The third pump is a battery backup in case of a power outage. Alongside the updated sump pump, Nick also recommended our WaterGuard and IceGuard. The homeowner was happy with Nick's suggestion and that it was within his budget. He immediately agreed, and Nick's design was sent to our Foreman, Jesus M. 

In a couple of months, Jesus and his crew arrived at the home for the installations. The sump pump is installed by excavating a sump pump pit where the liner and pump would be placed. Then, the WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement. The floor around the edge of the basement is jackhammered, and a layer of clean stone is set down. The WaterGuard is placed on top of the stone and is backfilled with more clean stone. The crew installed 134 ft of WaterGuard. Two IceGuards are also installed outside of the home to eject water away from the foundation. Then, a special outlet connects the WaterGuard to the sump pump, and clean gravel is backfilled around the sump pump liner. Lastly, the crew restores the floor by pouring concrete on top of it. Once the crew was done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
