Minneapolis, MN's Professional Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company

Katie was having moisture problems in her basement. She was beginning to notice a musty odor, accompanied by a damp feeling, and mildew forming along baseboards. She was concerned that she was beginning to see signs of a basement waterproofing issue. Katie researched the best remedies for her problem and came across the services we offer.

When she called into our office, we set her up with our FREE estimate, entitling her to a free, no-obligation 3-hour estimate from one of our Design Specialists from our basement waterproofing and foundation division. After her appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Nick, headed out to her property to complete his inspection. Once he had concluded his walkthrough, he informed Katie that her issue was stemming from water entering the property, probably through porous holes and cracks in the foundation. He went on to say that while Katie wasn't experiencing dramatic amounts of water in the space, she shouldn't brush her problem off. He explained that a wet basement can lead to mold and mildew, creating unhealthy air circulating through the home. He recommended our AprilAire Dehumidifier to create healthy air and reduce the number of viable viruses in the air. She quickly agreed to this option and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew installed her dehumidifier quickly and efficiently. Now, Katie can enjoy her space without the intruding musty smells and damp feelings!

Ashley N. of Saint Louis Park, MN had water leaking from her pre-existing sump pump, making her worry about water moisture and flooding. She called our office line and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Jared Bruns. Jared went to her home to inspect her problem and come up with a solution. Ashley was confident in Jared's proposal, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his team began the project by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump, which comes with two pumps and is made to keep basements dry for long periods of time. To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

Josh L. in Minneapolis, MN discovered the adverse effects that radon gas has on people's health and he became concerned because his home had not yet been tested. He started looking for a company to test his home, and he came across American Waterworks at a local home show. He was glad to see that along with concrete repair, basement waterproofing and foundation repair, we also offer radon testing and mitigation.

He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to his home to set up the test. 48 hours later, Shane returned to read the results. The results showed that Josh did in fact have unsafe levels of radon in his home. Shane explained the risks of not having a radon mitigation system  installed and he walked Josh through the installation process. Josh wanted to have the system installed as soon as possible, so they scheduled the project. 

Our radon mitigation specialists drilled a hole through the concrete in the basement to create a suction point for the gas. Then, a PVC pipe is inserted which goes up through the house and exits the home through the roof. A fan is installed at the top of the PVC pipe to ensure that the radon gas is being pushed away from the home. The installation took only one day to complete, and Josh is glad he took action to protect his and his family’s health.

Jacqueline M. in Minneapolis, MN had a bowing foundation wall in her basement. She was concerned about the pressure it was putting on her foundation, so she contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, went to her home to inspect the wall and design a solution. After listening to her concerns and needs, he developed a plan to permanently restore her wall using PowerBraces. She was pleased with his proposal, so she decided to move forward with repairing her foundation.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed 6 PowerBraces along the bowing wall. The PowerBrace is an adjustable beam that stabilizes bowing walls and forces them back into their original position. PowerBraces are sometimes used instead of wall anchors because wall anchors require access to the soil outside and would cause us to cross a property line if that product was installed. The beams are covered with a zinc-coating, so that the beams will not rust or deteriorate over time. Jacqueline was glad that the process was not very disruptive and that they barely take up any space in her basement. She has peace of mind knowing that American Waterworks helped her find a long-term solution for her home.

Terry L. in Minneapolis, MN had a cracked and inward bowing wall in his basement. He was concerned about the pressure it was putting on his foundation, so he started looking into foundation repair contractors. He came across American Waterworks’ website and was interested to learn more about our foundation repair options, so he contacted us for a free estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radkte, went to his home to assess his foundation problem and provide him with a solution. Jeremy was able to develop a thorough plan to straighten and secure Terry’s wall. Terry like the proposal and felt that our company was a good fit for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production crew installed 6 wall anchors along the bowing wall. Once the anchors were tightened, Terry was pleased with how quickly he saw dramatic improvement in the stability of the wall. Our foundation repair systems are backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Terry is confident that he chose the right solution to protect his home.

Jeff H. in Minneapolis was concerned about his retaining wall that was severely cracked and bowing. Jeff started seeking out help to solve his foundation problem, and a trusted contractor recommended that he contact American Waterworks to get a free estimate. He contacted us, and we sent our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, to his home to assess his retaining wall and provide him with a solution. Shane worked with Jeff to design a plan that was the best fit for his needs. Jeff liked the proposal, so he scheduled a date for us to repair his foundation.

Our production team installed two helical anchors through the retaining wall and into the soil. They tightened and secured the anchors, which permanently stabilizes the foundation. The installation only took one day, and now Jeff will never have to worry about that wall giving out. Our foundation repair systems are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Jeff is confident that he chose the right solution for his home.
