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

A homeowner in Brooklyn Park, MN, had recently learned of the dangerous health risks of radon and was concerned that his family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes. He decided it was time to get his home tested, so he began searching for radon mitigation in Brooklyn Park, MN, and found us. After scrolling through our website, he also noticed that we do concrete lifting and remembered that his walkway had begun sinking. He ended up calling our Appointment Center to schedule his FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dave S., arrived at the home for the inspection. In the inspection, Dave began by running our continuous radon monitoring test. He explained to the homeowner that it will need to run for at least 48 hours to get the radon levels as accurate as possible. During this, he also took a look at the home to see where the best place would be to have our radon mitigation system installed in case the results were at high levels. After this, he moved on to inspecting the concrete. He noticed that the walkway had begun sinking on one side, causing the area to become uneven and a possible trip hazard. Dave ended up recommending PolyLevel, our elite foam expanding solution that compacts the soil and lifts sinking slabs. After a couple of days, the test results of the radon levels came back above 4 pCi/L, and the homeowner contacted us to have both our radon mitigation system and PolyLevel installed. 

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home to install the radon mitigation system. The crew installed a PVC pipe into the footing of the home and connected it to the radon fan that is installed outside of the home. This is done this way so that our system can expel the radon-rich gas before it can enter the home. In another couple of months, our Foreman, Dylon V., and his crew arrived at the home to lift the concrete slabs. The crew began by drilling small holes into the slabs and inserting the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, compacting the soil and lifting it. Once the slab has been lifted to the desired level, the crew seals the holes.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, noticed that his concrete walkway and garage apron had begun sinking, causing the area to become bumpy and uneven. Knowing the issue would only worsen, the homeowner recognized the need for expert advice and began searching for concrete lifting services in Minneapolis, MN. The homeowner found our website and was extremely impressed by our concrete before-and-after transformations, so he contacted us to schedule a FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Nicola G., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection of the problem areas, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Nicola noticed signs of soil washout. Nicola explained to the homeowner that soil washout is the process in which water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils, keeping the concrete slabs upright. Over time, this causes gaps and voids in the soil, and the slab would begin to sink. To fix this issue, she recommended installing PolyLevel, our waterproof foam expanding formula that accurately lifts concrete slabs, and NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant to seal off the joints and provide a seamless look. The homeowner did not want to go through the troubles of mudjacking or slab replacement, so he knew that PolyLevel was the right choice. He contacted our logistics team and scheduled the installation date.

In a couple of weeks, our Co-Foreman, Reese R., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by precisely drilling small holes into the concrete slabs. The injection port is then inserted before PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab. Once PolyLevel is injected, it expands and fills the voids in the soil, causing the concrete slabs to lift. After the slabs have been lifted to the desired height, the crew focused on sealing the joints. Lastly, after everything has been leveled, the crew seals the holes.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, noticed that the little closet on the side of her steps had some water seeping through. Concerned it would lead to water damage, the homeowner knew she needed expert advice and began searching for basement waterproofing contractors. She found a list of contractors in the area, and after looking through everyone's website, the homeowner knew we were the best choice due to our reviews and reputation. The homeowner then contacted us to schedule her FREE waterproofing estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Peter M., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, he noticed water stains along the perimeter of the closet. Peter also ran a few tests on the homeowner's current sump pump and came to the conclusion that it is no longer functioning properly. After the inspection, Peter created a proposal for the homeowner recommending installing WaterGuard, our below-the-floor perimeter drainage system that collects water and safely sends it to the sump pump, CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier system that prevents water vapor from permeating the walls and channels any leaks to the drainage system, Zoeller M98 1/2HP, our pump that can remove up to 3,900 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the discharge pipes freeze. After reviewing Peter's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of weeks, our Foreman, Jeromy A., and his crew arrived for the installation. The crew began by installing 26ft of CleanSpace along the walls using drilled-in fasteners. Next, they installed 26ft of WaterGuard by first drilling along the edges of the room and placing clean gravel. The WaterGuard then rests on top and is backfilled with more gravel. Lastly, the crew replaced the current pumps in the sump pump with our Zoeller pump and installed IceGuard. After they were done, they restored the flooring with concrete.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, was in his basement when he noticed a musty smell and a few water stains along the walls. Concerned for his home, he decided to look into basement waterproofing contractors in Minneapolis, MN, and found us. After looking through our website, the homeowner grew impressed by our stellar reviews and basement before and after transformations. Confident in our abilities, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center to schedule his FREE basement waterproofing estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Eric H., arrived at the home to assess the basement, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, he noticed that one of the rooms in the basement had water stains along where the footing and the wall meet, as well as on the wall. He explained to the homeowner that the likely reason the homeowner is facing a damp basement is due to a failed footing drain. When this fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation and water forces itself through cracks on the walls, through the joints between the footing and the wall, or beneath the footing. To effectively tackle this issue, Eric recommended installing WaterGuard, our perimeter drainage system that collects water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it to the sump pump, and CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier system that prevents water vapor from permeating the walls and directs any water leaks to the drainage system. After reviewing Eric's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Raul B., and his crew arrived at the home to carry out the installation. The crew installed 17ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace. They began installing the CleanSpace by attaching it to the wall using drilled-in fasteners. Once the CleanSpace had been installed, the crew began installing WaterGuard. They drilled around the perimeter of the room and laid clean gravel. Then, WaterGuard is placed on top and is backfilled with more gravel. Lastly, after connecting it to the sump pump, the crew restores the floor with cement. After they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

After looking over Michel's recommendations, the homeowner knew it was the perfect solution to fix his wet basement and decided to move forward with the project.

In about two months, our Foreman, Isael D., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by installing 15ft of CleanSpace along the walls. These are installed using drilled-in fasteners to ensure they will not fall off. Next, the crew began installing 15ft of WaterGuard, 1 SuperSump+, and 1 IceGuard. They drilled around the perimeter of the basement and created a sump pump pit. The WaterGuard would then lie on top of the bed of rocks and be backfilled.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, noticed that his walkway had been sinking, causing the slabs connected by the wall to look unappealing. Knowing that the gap between the wall and the slabs would only continue to grow wider, the homeowner decided it was time to look into concrete repair contractors in Minneapolis, MN. The homeowner found our website and was extremely impressed by our reviews and reputation, so he decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Michel R., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Michel took a close look at the concrete slabs that had begun to sink. He also communicated with the homeowner to get a better understanding of the type of work they would like to get done. The homeowner informed Michel that he would only like the area to be sealed, as the walkway itself had not formed any trip hazards. Michel understood and created a proposal recommending NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant, to seal the joint between the foundation and slabs. NexusPro is specifically engineered to provide flexibility and high durability so that it can withstand harsh weather conditions. Also, unlike other caulking products, NexusPro is UV resistant, meaning it would never crack, bubble, or dry out. The homeowner happily agreed to Michel's recommendation and scheduled the installation date with our logistics team.

In about a month, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew sealed the joints along the walkway, and after they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Blaine, MN, started their spring to-do list, and at the top of the list was repairing their uneven concrete driveway. Knowing spring concrete repair would be ideal for their schedule, the homeowner began looking into "concrete repair near me". Overwhelmed by their options, the homeowner decided to sort by the highest reviews. Standing tall above the rest was American Waterworks, so the homeowner took a closer look at our concrete repair services. The homeowner was impressed with our award-winning concrete repair, so they signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Gary, to the home to take a closer look. Gary inspected the entire area and confirmed that the entire driveway was sinking due to settlement. To prevent the settlement from continuing, Gary recommended lifting the entire area back into place with PolyLevel. The homeowner agreed with Gary's recommendations, so they passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Once the plans were approved, the project was assigned to our Foreman, Jordan, and his crew. A few weeks later, Jordan and his crew traveled to the home to begin the lift. First, Jordan and his crew began by inserting PolyLevel underneath the sinking driveway. 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 all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. After reviewing the work, the homeowner was impressed with the final project.

A homeowner in Saint Louis Park, MN, was worried when he noticed mold growing in his basement. He decided to research basement waterproofing in the area. He found one of our yard signs in the neighborhood and decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialists, Jesse W., arrived at the home to inspect the basement. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of basement damage is a failed footing drain. When this fails, it causes the soil around the foundation to become saturated with water. Water then enters through the cracks in the walls, between the footing and the wall, and under the footing. To resolve this issue, Jesse recommended our WaterGuard, IceGuard, CleanSpace, and SuperSump+. Our WaterGuard is an under-the-floor perimeter drain system that is designed not to clog. IceGuard is our anti-freeze discharge line, which would be attached outside of the home to send water away from the foundation. CleanSpace is our vapor wall barrier that stops water from permeating the walls and moves the water from any leaks to the perimeter drain system. Lastly, our SuperSump+ is capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour keeping the basement dry all year long. After Jesse explained our products and how they could help, the homeowner agreed to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Raul B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by installing 100ft of CleanSpace on the walls. Then, our SuperSump+ is installed by excavating the sump pump pit and placing the pump liner. Then, 100ft of WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the home and is connected to the sump pump. Lastly, the crew finishes installing the sump pump as well as installing 1 IceGuard. Once everything is properly installed, the crew restores the floors by pouring concrete. Then, our crew cleans up their equipment and leaves the home.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, was concerned that his damp basement would cause long-term damage. He decided to look into basement waterproofing services in the area. He found our website and was impressed with our before-and-after photos. He then decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Derek V., arrived at the home to assess the basement. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of a leaking basement is hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a liquid. When water saturates the soil around the home's foundation, the water puts tremendous pressure against the walls. Water then seeps through the cracks and joints and eventually leads to the basement. To address this issue, Derek recommended installing our SuperSump+ with the UltraSump, WaterGuard, IceGuard, and CleanSpace. Our SuperSump+ is capable of pumping out an average of 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and the UltraSump is our backup sump pump system that can operate during power outages. WaterGuard is our perimeter drain system that is designed not to clog, unlike traditional drain systems. Our IceGuard is our anti-freeze discharge line, which would be attached outside of the home. Lastly, CleanSpace is our vapor wall barrier designed to protect the home by collecting water that seeps through the walls and directs it to the WaterGuard. The homeowner decided to move forward with the project, and Derek's design was sent to our Foreman, Kiko P. 

In about two months, Kiko and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing 24ft. CleanSpace and attach it to the walls. Then, a sump pump pit is excavated where the sump pump liner will be placed. The crew then installs 14ft of WaterGuard, which is connected to the sump pump. Once WaterGuard is installed, the crew installs 2 IceGuards outside of the home. Lastly, the crew finishes installing the sump pump, and the flooring is restored with concrete. After everything was completed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Crystal, MN, had noticed that the gaps between the concrete slabs of her driveway were farther apart than she would prefer. We had previously helped her waterproof her basement, and she remembered that we also do concrete services. She decided to schedule her FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home to asses the driveway. He told the homeowner that we could seal the joints with NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant that is long-lasting. Unlike traditional sealants, NexusPro resists UV rays, meaning it will not crack, bubble, or dry out. The homeowner agreed and decided to move forward with the project. 

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Ryan T., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. Once they were done sealing the joints, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Spring Lake Park, MN, had noticed that the concrete slabs of her driveway had started sinking and was worried it would worsen. She decided to look into concrete leveling services in the area and came upon our website. She was happy to see we offer FREE estimates and decided to claim her. 

In a couple of weeks, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to inspect the driveway. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of concrete damage is soil washout. As water moves through the ground under the concrete slab, it can wash away the supporting soil holding up the concrete. As this soil washout continues, it creates voids and space under the slab, and over time, the voids grow, causing the concrete to sink in. Due to this reason, our Design Specialist recommended our PolyLevel to uplift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the joints and repair cracks that have formed. The homeowner agreed to his suggestion and decided to proceed with his design.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dylon V., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They lifted the concrete by first drilling small holes into the slab. Then, the PolyLevel is injected and expands between the slab and soil, allowing for accurate leveling. Once the concrete has been lifted, the holes are sealed with concrete. The cracks and joints are then sealed using our NexusPro. Once the crew was done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer's driveway is completely even and free from tipping hazards. Are you experiencing something similar? Click HERE to claim your FREE estimate!

A homeowner in Plymouth, MN, recently came upon our blog post discussing the danger that radon poses in a household. He was concerned that his family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes. He learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As it decays, it releases radon, which creates a high toxicity level in the air. We cannot see, touch, smell, taste, or hear radon, which makes it nearly impossible to detect unless using a radon test kit. After learning this information, the homeowner decided to go to the nearest convenience store and purchase a radon testing kit. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4 pCi/L, and the homeowner quickly began looking for radon mitigation services in the area. He came upon our website and was impressed with our stellar reviews and decided to contact us to claim his FREE estimate. 

In several weeks, our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home to assess the basement. He explained to the homeowner that our radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter pipe that connects the air beneath the foundation to the outdoors. It is installed at the lowest level of the home by drilling a hole in the flooring. A PVC pipe is then placed and connects to the mitigation system, which will be placed on top of the garage. He explained that the reason that the mitigation system is installed at the lowest level of the home is so that it can tackle the radon-rich air before it enters the home. The homeowner was thankful for Kyle's explanation and happily agreed to his design.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. Once they had installed our radon mitigation system, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing that him and his family are breathing in clean air! When was the last time you tested the radon levels of your home? Click HERE to claim your FREE estimate!

A homeowner in Plymouth, MN, had noticed that their sump pump was working properly and was concerned for the possible damage it would cause to his home if it was not fixed. He quickly searched for basement waterproofing services in the area and came upon our website. He was impressed with our reviews and decided to contact us to claim his FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Nick S., arrived at the home on the scheduled date and examined the sump pump. He confirmed with the homeowner that their current sump pump is out of date and recommended our SuperSump+ as well as the IceGuard. He explained to the homeowner that the sump pump is installed by first excavating a sump pump pit for the liner and pump to be placed in. Then, the perimeter drain system would be connected to the sump pump system, and clean gravel would be backfilled around the sump pump liner. Lastly, the flooring is restored. He also explained that the IceGuard is installed outside of the home and is designed to eject water away from the foundation.  Unlike traditional discharge lines, our IceGuard is designed not to freeze under cold temperatures. The homeowner thanked Nick for his explanation and happily agreed to his suggestion. 

In a couple of weeks, our Service Technician, Edgar M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. Once they were completed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Fridley, MN, noticed multiple water leaks and high humidity levels in her basement. Worried it could mold and worsen over time, she quickly searched for services in the area. She came upon American Waterworks and was impressed with our "Before and After" stories. Soon after, she contacted us for her FREE estimate, and we scheduled a time for our waterproofing expert to inspect the issue. 

Our Design Specialist, Ryan Kennedy, arrived at the home, carefully inspected the basement, and proposed a solution to the homeowner. He suggested our WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard, CleanSpace Wall System, and Aprilaire Dehumidifier. Our WaterGuard is installed below the floor slab and rests on top of the foundation footing. This product collects water leakage from basement walls and connects to the SumpPump. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump provides three levels of protection for your basement. It contains three pumps; one is placed at the lowest level and is your primary pump. The second is set a bit higher for heavy volumes of water or in case your primary pump fails. Lastly, the third is a backup pump in case of any power outages. Our IceGuard is a discharge line system installed outside of your home. It ejects water away from the foundation if the sump pump discharge line freezes or becomes clogged. Our CleanSpace Wall System is a waterproof plastic vapor barrier that protects your walls from mold growth and prevents moisture levels from increasing in your basement. Lastly, our Aprilaire Dehumidifier is an effective waterproofing system that keeps your home drier, reduces odors, and keeps your indoor air healthy. The homeowner had chosen our E100 model, which covers 5500 sqft!

Once the homeowner approved everything, the designs were sent to our Foreman, Jesus R. 

Jesus and his crew arrived at the home to install the products. They had installed 124 ft of the WaterGuard and CleanSpace Wall System. Furthermore, installed two IceGuards. Now, she can have peace of mind knowing that our products will keep her basement dry.

A homeowner from Bloomington, MN, was facing a unique issue with her basement. Each time it rained, the homeowner noticed a steady stream of water entering her space, trickling down her foundation walls. She was worried about what this could mean for the rest of her home, so she decided to find a basement waterproofing specialist near Bloomington, MN. When she saw our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Nick S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed to the home.

When Nick arrived, he wasted no time heading down to the basement to see what could be done. When he was finished with his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Nick began by saying that the homeowner had made the correct choice by contacting us. He explained that waterproofing issues don't get better with time they tend to worsen, getting more expensive as the years progress. Nick then said that he had several products in mind that would address the situation. First, Nick wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly on unfinished basement walls. It works to trap water entering through holes and cracks in the foundation walls, directing it downward and into a perimeter drain, which Nick wanted to be our WaterGuard system. This unique French drain gets installed around the perimeter of the basement beneath the floor, atop the footing of the foundation, keeping the drain out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain works to give water entering the CleanSpace, as well as from holes in the ground, a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. While Nick was inspecting the home, he noticed the home lacked a means of disposing of unwanted water, so he recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an economical yet effective method for ridding your basement of unwanted water. The homeowner was thrilled with Nick's comprehensive solution, so he signed on the spot. 

Weeks later, the job was scheduled to be started. Our Foreman, Arturo M, and his team wasted no time getting started. To start, half of Arturo's team began jackhammering away at the perimeter of the basement for the WaterGuard placement. Simultaneously, the other half of the team began to install the CleanSpace on the basement walls. Next, the WaterGuard is placed, and the CleanSpace is fed into it. Then, the sump basket is placed, and both the sump and the WaterGuard is covered in a layer of concrete to hold it in place. When the crew finished, they had successfully installed 14ft of WaterGuard, 1 SuperSump, and 14 ft of CleanSpace. Now our customer is thrilled to know her basement worries are in the past! 

A homeowner from Edina, MN, had recently learned about the dangers of radon gas and the risks it can pose to a household. Not wanting her family to be breathing in unhealthy air, she decided to head to her local home improvement store to buy a kit for testing your home for radon. After running the home test, the homeowner discovered higher-than-normal levels of radon in her home. She knew she needed more information on radon gas and how to protect her home, so she began to look for a radon mitigation company near Edina, MN. When she came across our website, she decided to schedule her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, headed out to her home. 

When Brad arrived, he got right to work scouting out the best place for a radon mitigation system. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to discuss next steps. First, Brad began by saying that the homeowner had done the right thing. Brad elaborated, saying that radon is tricky because it's odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it completely undetectable without the proper testing. He went on to say that because of the elevated levels, he was recommending the installation of a radon mitigation system. A typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was thrilled that Brad had a solution to her problem, and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our crews were headed back to the home to perform the installation. Our Foreman, Dakota, was able to assist his team in a flawlessly executed installation of a mitigation system. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her home is circulating clean air! 

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN was growing tired of her leaky basement. Each time it rained, the homeowner was left with a flooded basement. She no longer wanted to deal with the problem and needed a company offering repair for leaky basements. While scouring the internet for 'how much to fix a leaky basement', the homeowner came across our website. She was impressed with the various leaky basement repair projects on our website and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Eric H, one of our Design Specialists, was scheduled to stop out at the home. 

When Eric arrived, he was directed to the basement, and he began his inspection. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Eric recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly onto the unfinished walls of the crawl space and works to direct water entering through holes and cracks in the wall downward and into Eric's second recommendation, our WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a unique French drain that gets installed below the floor of the basement but atop the footing of the foundation. This unique placement keeps the drain out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. It acts as a channel for water entering the floor joists, as well as any water draining down the wall, directing the water to the appropriate disposal site. While Eric had been in the basement, he had noted that the basement lacked a sump pump or discharge line, so he recommended our SuperSump Plus. Our SuperSump is an effective yet economical solution to rid the basement of unwanted water. The homeowner was thrilled to know that Eric had created a comprehensive plan for her basement and decided to schedule the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Kiko, and his team approached the project with a 'divide and conquer' method. Part of Kiko's team began by applying the CleanSpace to the walls of the basement, while the other team began jackhammering away at the perimeter of the basement for the placement of the WaterGuard. Next, the WaterGuard and Sump basket were placed. The final steps of the project included connecting all of the systems to function together and covering the WaterGuard with a layer of fresh cement to hold it in place. When the job was completed, Kiko and his team had installed 80ft of WaterGuard, 58 ft of CleanSpace, and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing that her water intrusion issue has been handled! 

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN, had just learned about the serious dangers of radon gas in a household. Worried about the health and safety of his family, he headed to his local home improvement store and purchased an at-home test, conducting it himself. The homeowner was less than thrilled when the results returned at 8 pCi/L. He knew that Minnesota was one of the states with high radon levels, so he began to look for Minnesota radon specialists. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists, Kevin B, headed out to the home. 

When Kevin arrived, he got right to work, scouting out the best place for a radon mitigation system to be placed. When he finished, he met with the homeowner. He began by saying that the radon levels they were experiencing were well above the recommended action levels of 4 pCi/L. He went on to say that while dealing with high levels of radon can seem daunting, the high levels of radon could easily be addressed with the installation of a radon mitigation system. Ryan explained that a radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was happy to hear that there was a fix to her issue and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our team, led by their Foreman, Dakota M, was able to flawlessly install the radon mitigation for the homeowner. Now, our customer has faith in the air he and his family breathe! 

A Minneapolis, MN,  homeowner noticed that each time he went down to his basement, he was greeted with a damp, humid feeling. He had no idea who to turn to for Minneapolis basement waterproofing, so he took to the internet. Quickly, he found our website and recalled meeting one of our Design Specialists at the home and garden show in Minneapolis. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, a member of our Design Specialist team, Derek V, was headed out to the home. 

When Derek arrived, he got right to work evaluating the basement. He met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations when he finished his inspection. Derek explained that he wanted to use two of our products to address the damp basement. First, Derek recommended our WaterGuard. This unique french drain gets installed below the floor slab but atop the foundation's footing. It works to collect water coming up through holes or cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Because the basement lacked a means of disposal, Derek recommended our SuperSump sump pump. This pump is an effective, yet economical solution to basement water intrusion. The SuperSump boasts a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner agreed with Derek's recommendations and scheduled the job for several months later. 

The day of the project eventually rolled around. Our team, led by their Foreman, Francisco E, successfully installed 36ft of WaterGuard, and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now our customer can rest easy knowing that his damp basement worries are in the past!

A homeowner from Plymouth, MN, received a postcard in the mail from American Waterworks, which highlighted the importance of having your home tested for dangerous radon gas. She was interested to know more about radon so she decided to have her home tested, as she felt it was better to be safe than sorry. When she called in, she scheduled her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, a Design Specialist from our radon and concrete division headed out to the home. 

On the day of the inspection, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, headed out to the home. He got right to work inspecting each entry point he felt radon would enter through, as well as getting a better look at the home as a whole to find the best place to install a mitigation system, should it be needed.

Once Kyle finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to go over his findings. In anticipation of Kyle's arrival, the homeowner had already had their home tested, and the results returned at 10.9 pCi/L. Kyle began by answering some questions the homeowner had. He explained that radon is a naturally occurring gas that comes from the breakdown of soil around the foundation of a home. As the soil decays and the gas is released, it enters your home through cracks or small porous holes. Radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless and, therefore, can go unnoticed in a home. The only reliable way to ensure your home is protected is to have it tested and mitigated if a professional advises you to. Kyle then said that the homeowner had radon rates of 10.9 pCi/L which is way higher than he'd like to see. The Minnesota Dept. of Health recommends taking action to combat radon at any levels that return over 4 pCi/L.  Kyle recommended a radon mitigation system to combat the high levels in the home. A typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by a professional radon mitigation specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health safety agencies. The homeowner liked the sound of Kyle's plan, and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our radon production team, led by their Foreman, Dakota, was able to install the radon mitigation system without any complications. Now, our customer can breathe easier knowing that her interior air is clean!

After sifting through several companies, only one company stood above the rest, American Waterworks. The homeowner loved how we were a family-owned business and our ONE team mindset, so they signed up for their FREE estimate.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN was worried when he heard from one of his kids talk about the carpet in their basement bedroom being wet. He decided to take a look at the area himself and sure enough found water damage at the base of the wall. He wanted to stop the issue right away rather than think about what to do for a while, so he started researching solutions. Finding the American Waterworks website in his searching, he was interested when he saw we offered FREE no-obligation estimates. He signed up for an estimate and was later greeted by Design Specialist Nick Skillman. Nick inspected the basement area and found the water concerns that the homeowner had. He informed the homeowner that with our waterproofing system, the water would no longer cause damage to the basement. The homeowner agreed and was eager to move forward with the project. One of our Foremen, Jeromy Anderson, and his crew went to the site to carry out the installations of our WaterGuard system and TripleSafe Sump System. They began the project by jackhammering a channel on the floor at the base of the walls that had water damage. Next, they placed a layer of drainage stone in the empty channels, followed by the WaterGuard system and more clean stone. The WaterGuard system intercepts water at the perimeter and sends it safely away through a feed line to the pump. The old pump was then replaced with the new TripleSafe Sump System which is designed to keep basements dry with triple the protection of a normal pump. To finish, the crew placed a layer of fresh concrete on top of the WaterGuard for both protection and a smooth final look.

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN noticed how badly some areas of his front walkway had sunken and cracked. Not wanting to leave the problem unattended to, he began looking for a concrete repair company that would help his situation. His search was cut short once he found the American Waterworks website and saw that we offered FREE no-obligation estimates for our customers. He was eager to schedule an estimate to see what kind of work we would do and to ask a professional all of his questions beforehand. We sent over one of our expert Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to the home where he carried out an inspection of the walkway area. Rick explained to the homeowner that this problem was fixable with the help of two products: PolyLevel and NexusPro. After the homeowner had a good understanding of the process and had no further questions, he agreed to the installations. When our Foreman, Ryan Trogstad, and his crew arrived at the site, the began prepping the area. They started the installations by drilling small holes throughout the walkway area and inserting ports through them to reach the empty space under the concrete surface. Next, they filled the space with the PolyLevel which immediately raised the sinking slabs back up. To finish off the project, the crew used the NexusPro sealant to the joints and cracked areas which provides flexibility and long-lasting durability. They sprinkled a thin layer of native sand on top of the sealant for a smooth and appealing look to the concrete walkway. The crew cleaned, packed up their materials, and left the site, leaving a leveled walkway and a happy homeowner.

In the Minneapolis, MN area, a homeowner had become increasingly concerned about the shape of his driveway. It became especially clear to him when an unusually large crack had more recently formed near the driveway and front step of his home. Not wanting this to be a safety hazard for any visitors or himself, he began his research on companies in the surrounding area that could help him out. There was one name that stood out to him in his searching, American Waterworks. Not only did our website provide him with helpful information and positive reviews of past work we had done, but our FREE no obligation estimate service was appealing to him. He was interested in meeting with an expert to hear a detailed explanation of the process and he scheduled an appointment. We sent over Design Specialist, Mike Dexter, to take a look and discuss things over with the homeowner. After agreeing to a plan that would restore his driveway back, Mike sent the information to one of our Formen, Ryan Trogstad, and his crew. When the crew arrived at the site weeks later to carry out the installations, they first began with PolyLevel. They started by drilling small holes throughout the driveway and inserting ports connecting to below the concrete surface. The polyurethane foam was then filled through the ports to fill voids and lift the sinking concrete slabs. The joints and large cracks in addition to the drilled holes were then sealed with NexusPro sealant, a durable and long-lasting solution for damaged concrete. Next, a sprinkle of native sand was applied on top to add a pleasing finish to the sealant. Finally, the crew finished off the job by applying a thin layer of SealantPro on top of the entire driveway to prevent future cracking, discoloration, and flaking. The homeowner was overjoyed to have these issues fixed and thankful for the work our crew did on his driveway.

A homeowner was enjoying their fireplace in their basement when they noticed a puddle of water as they got up. Worried about what that could mean for their home and how the damage could lead to more problems, they began to research companies offering water proofing services in the area. Seeing American Waterworks pop up on their search page, they decided to click in and see what we were all about. They discovered our FREE estimate services and liked the idea of having a professional to talk through what the issue was before committing to a product installation. They contacted our team and set up a free estimate with our Design Specialist, Jesse Williams, who visited the home to see what the problem was. After seeing the water damage in the basement, Jesse knew what would stop the issue and prevent further problems from happening. He explained to the homeowners that installing our WaterGuard system was the best course of action to solve this particular issue because the unique shape and large drain openings of WaterGuard® aid in preventing clogs in the system. The homeowner agreed to the product installation and the project started a few weeks later. When our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his team went out to the home to begin the installation, they began by hanging plastic so that dust wouldn't escape the work area. Next, they jackhammered the concrete next to the leaky wall and dug a trench for the WaterGuard to sit in. They connected the WaterGuard to the already existing sump pump. Finally, they covered the WaterGuard in a fresh layer of concrete to hold it in place. Juan and his team ended up installing 24 ft. of the product into the home. Now this homeowner can enjoy their basement and fireplace area once again!

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, was enjoying her basement when she made an alarming discovery-her basement wall was cracking! Wanting to address the issue sooner rather than later, she began to search for companies in her area that could help her with the project. She stumbled upon our website and decided to call in and claim her FREE, no-obligation estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Rick, was scheduled to head out to her home to complete his thorough inspection. Once Rick's walk-through was complete, he was ready to make recommendations as to how we could help. Rick suggested using our C-Channel and Geo-Lock Anchors to correct the problem. Rick explained that channel anchors are a versatile, effective system that can stabilize walls that are bowing, tipping, pushing in at the bottom, tilting in at the top, or showing similar signs of failure. They are installed with minimal disturbance to your lawn and landscaping, often in a day or less. The homeowner agreed with Rick's recommendation and the project was scheduled.

Our Foreman, Victor, and his team arrived at the job site a few weeks later and immediately got to work. First, the team looked at the interior wall and verified Rick's measurements. Next, they excavated holes outside, beyond the foundation, so the anchors had hard-packed virgin soil to anchor to. Next, the team drilled holes into the basement wall and ran a long steel pole through the hole to connect to the anchor outside. They then mounted the channel anchors and secured them to the floor to address the shearing of the wall. Finally, they tightened the anchors and backfilled the holes. Once the job was completed our homeowner was happy to know that her foundation concerns were a worry of the past!

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN was beginning to notice stair-step cracks running down the far side of his garage wall. As the crack began to grow, he got more and more worried as he knew that a failing wall would lead to structural integrity, compromising the safety and resale value of the home. Wanting to do diligent research, he began to search for companies that would help him fix the situation before it was too late. Once he came across our website, he knew we were the company for the job. He called into our office and we set him up with his FREE, no-obligation estimate.  A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Nick Skillman, headed out to the home to take a look and see what we could do. After his thorough inspection, Nick was ready to make his recommendation. Nick wanted to use our GeoLock C-Channel Anchors to fix the situation. He explained that our C-Channel and Geo-Lock anchors are designed to repair bowed, buckled, and tilting foundation walls. This proven repair technique is faster, less disruptive, and much more affordable than foundation wall replacement. The homeowner agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew showed up a few weeks after the estimate appointment. First, they began by measuring the proper distance for the anchors to be on the wall. Next, they excavated pieces of the yard beyond the foundation so the anchors had nicely compacted virgin soil to be anchored too. Then they drilled holes through the foundation, connecting the anchor plate on the exterior with the inside c-channel. Finally, they tightened the anchors and backfilled the excavated areas of the yard. In total, Kiko and his crew ended up installing 4 anchors along the problem wall. Once the job was completed, our customer was happy to know his foundation worries were in the past.

A homeowner in Fridley, MN, knew it was time to have repairs done on their home. Instead of ignoring the issue, the homeowner began searching for a company to repair and restore their home. Overwhelmed by all the options, the homeowner decided to ask their friends and family for any recommendations. The majority of them recommended us, American Waterworks. The homeowner visited our website and saw that we offer FREE estimates, so they decided to sign up for theirs. Once the appointment was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Jesse. When Jesse arrived, he began his analysis of the home. Jesse discovered that the foundation was struggling and the concrete needed repairs. After alerting the homeowner about the struggles, Jesse recommended the foundation be permanently stabilized and the concrete be lifted and leveled. Wanting to solve the issues, the homeowner agreed and production began. Our Foreman, Jordan, and his crew were assigned to complete the project. When they arrived, the crew started by installing the GeoLock anchors onto the west foundation wall. The GeoLock Wall Anchor system permanently stabilizes the foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed untouched soil beyond your foundation. The crew installs the GeoLocks by digging a section of the ground to place the first GeoLock anchor. Once the GeoLock is in place, another anchor is attached to the interior wall. Both GeoLocks are connected by a small, steel pole direct through the ground. Once the GeoLocks are secured, the soil is put back on top of the ground. Once the GeoLocks were secured, the crew moved their attention to lifting and leveling the sidewalk in front of the home. The PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution, is inserted underneath the affected concrete. To install the PolyLevel, the crew strategically drills small 5/8" holes into the concrete slab. Next, the injection ports are installed in the small holes. Then, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slab. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. After the PolyLevel was successfully installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was excited to know their sidewalk and foundation were saved. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, was organizing their basement when they discovered a small horizontal crack growing along their foundation wall. Concerned by this discovery, the homeowner began looking for professional assistance. During their search, the same company kept getting brought up, American Waterworks. The homeowner's attention was caught, and they looked into the types of services we provide. After seeing all our wonderful reviews, the homeowner decided to call our Appointment Center and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the appointment was set, we sent Nick, one of our Design Specialists, to investigate the foundation. Upon arrival, Nick greeted the homeowners and began his assessment. Following his assessment, Nick determined that the wall was showing early signs of failure due to improper soil fill. This is when the area around the home is not compacted properly. To stop the wall from further failure, the homeowner determined that the wall needed to be permanently stabilized. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they agreed with the plan. Our Foreman, Jose, and his crew were assigned to complete the job. Once they arrived, they began by preparing the basement and lawn for the GeoLock installation. GeoLock is our wall anchoring system that permanently stabilizes foundation walls. First, the crew excavates a small amount of soil out of the ground, so the outside GeoLock anchor can be secured in place. Then, the crew attached the interior GeoLock anchor to the foundation wall. To connect the two anchors, the crew runs a small, steel pole through the soil.  After installing five GeoLocks on the west wall, the crew cleaned up their job site and left the home. The homeowners were relieved to know they caught this issue early enough. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, was spending time with their family in their home when they noticed a strong pungent smell in their home. Unnerved by the smell, the homeowner began searching for a professional to provide them with some answers. Overwhelmed by all the options, the homeowner took their search to HomeAdvisor. While searching, the homeowner noticed our five-star rating and eye-catching reviews. That is all the homeowner needed and they called our Appointment Center to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the appointment was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Dylan. Once Dylan arrived, he began his detailed inspection of the basement to find the source of the smell. After completing the inspection, Dylan determined the odor was coming from the crawl space in the basement. After alerting the homeowner, Dylan proposed a plan that would solve all their issues. The homeowners agreed with Dylan's recommended plan, and project preparations began. Our Foreman, Victor, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the encapsulation process. To start, the crew began by clearing out all the debris and garbage in the crawl space. Once the crawl space was cleared, the crew was able to lay the Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. The Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath the crawl space liner. Next, the crew installed CleanSpace, a waterproof plastic vapor barrier, on the crawl space floors and walls. The crew mechanically attaches CleanSpace onto the crawl space floors and walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners to ensure they never fall off. Once the CleanSpace was mechanically attached, the crew installed Foamax onto the block walls and injected spray foam into the upper rim joists. The crew successfully encapsulated the entire crawl space. The homeowners were impressed with their crawl space transformation.

A homeowner in Saint Anthony, MN, was strolling into their home when they saw a substantial difference in their driveway slabs. Wanting to avoid further issues, the homeowners sought to have the driveway repaired. The homeowner wanted the best concrete repair service to complete the job, so they went to American Waterworks' website and signed up for their FREE estimate. After setting the appointment, our Design Specialist, Gary, traveled to the home to complete an evaluation. Following his detailed evaluation, Gary recommended the homeowners lift and level the patio, driveway apron, and four slabs below the apron. After hearing his recommendations, the homeowners agreed and project preparations began. 

Our Foreman, Troy, and his crew arrived at the home and immediately began work. To start, the crew used PolyLevel to lift the sunken concrete. PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that is used to restore the appearance and safety of concrete without the mess and cost of replacement. To begin the installation, the crew strategically drills small 5/8" holes in the concrete slabs. Then, the injection ports are installed in those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected below the concrete to fill the voids and raise the concrete slab. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed, leaving lifted concrete. After the driveway is lifted, the crew moves to filling all the joints with NexusPro. The NexusPro solution is a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks that is formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and stand up to harsh weather conditions. The crew installs the NexusPro by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the cracks with a non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro 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 finished appearance. The homeowners were happy with the crew's excellent job.

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.

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.
