Mower County, MN Trusted Foundation Wall Repair & Sump Pump Installation Company

Cathy G. in Grand Meadow, MN was experiencing water seeping into her basement every time it rained. She noticed that some of the water was also coming through her basement window. She was referred to American Waterworks by a friend, so she contacted us, and we sent out a Design Specialist to do a free onsite estimate. 

Our Design Specialist found that her basement needed a full perimeter of WaterGuard since the water was entering her basement at numerous points. He also recommended that we install a new RockWell egress window to ensure that her window is properly sealed. She chose to have her basement fully waterproofed and the have the egress window installed to ensure she would be protected from any water seeping in. The combination of these waterproofing products ensured that Cathy's basement would remain dry.

Patricia G. in Racine, MN learned about the dangers of radon gas and she had not yet had her home tested. She gave us a call to set up a test kit, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home to start the test. 48 hours later our Design Specialist went back to her home to read the results. The test results stated that the average radon level in her home over 48 hours was 23 pCi/L and the EPA recommends homeowners take action if they reach a level of 4 pCi/L. With such a high level of radon in her home, she wanted to have a mitigation system installed as soon as possible, so we scheduled and appointment right away.

Our production team drilled a hole in the cement in her garage to create a suction point for the radon. Then, they inserted a PVC pipe that went up through the attic and out the roof. The gas is sucked up the PVC pipe and a fan at the top of the pipe ensures that the radon is pushed out and away from the home. After each radon mitigation system, we leave the homeowner with another test to ensure the system is doing its job. Patricia tested her home again after the installation and her results came back at .6 pCi/L which is a great improvement! Patricia is very glad she chose to protect her health by having our radon mitigation system installed.

Roger D. in Adams, MN had a driveway that sunk 2-3 below the concrete garage floor. He was frustrated with the trip hazard it created, and the large bump they experienced every time they drove in and out of their garage. He saw a commercial for American Waterworks on the television and saw that we offer concrete repair. He gave us a call to receive a free estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his concrete and provide him with a solution. Roger was pleased with the design we presented him with, so he scheduled a date for the concrete repair.

One of our PolyLevel experts, Jared Wroblewski, drilled small holes into the concrete slabs where they needed to be raised. Then, he injection our PolyLevel foam into the holes until the concrete was raised to be level with the garage floor. Once the concrete was level, he filled back the holes he drilled with concrete and filled the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. He also did this process with Roger’s sidewalk. Roger was very pleased with the final outcome and he will now be able to enjoy beautiful, level concrete.

Ann H. in Lyle, MN was suffering from a wet basement. She started looking for a local waterproofing company and she found American Waterworks’ website. After reading about our waterproofing services, she contacted us to receive a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. Mac worked closely with Ann to design a personalized plan that was the best fit for her and her home. She was pleased with the proposal that Mac presented to her, so she set a date to have our waterproofing system installed.

Our production team started the process by removing the carpet and the concrete for the WaterGuard drainage system and sump pump to be installed. The WaterGuard was laid on the perimeter of her basement and the sump pump was installed in the corner. The drainage system now properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line to be expelled from the home. Ann now has peace of mind that her basement will be a dry, clean space for years to come. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Ann is confident that she chose the right solution to protect her basement.

Rhonda B. in Le Roy, MN learned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer and it kills over 20,000 people each year. She realized she had not yet had her home tested for radon, so she called American Waterworks to have a test installed. We set up a test for her and returned two days later to read the results. We found that her home had very high levels of radon, so she immediately wanted to have a mitigation system installed. 

Our crew drilled a hole through the concrete of her basement floor and inserted a PVC pipe which creates a suction point for the radon. Then, they ran the PVC pipe up through the home and out through the roof. There is a fan installed near the top of the PVC pipe to ensure that the radon gas is pushed out of the home. Rhonda is happy that she was able to have the system installed so quickly after receiving the results. She is thankful that her health is no longer at risk from high levels of radon.

John H. in Brownsdale, MN had multiple cracked and bowing walls in his basement.

We sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Girgen, to his home to inspect the walls and design the right solution specific to John’s needs. John appreciated the time that Jeremy took to address his questions and concerns.

Our production crew installed 18 wall anchors along his damaged foundation to permanently stabilize the walls.

A homeowner in Austin, MN, knew their foundation needed to be inspected by a professional. Instead of pushing off the project, the homeowner wanted to get ahead of the problem. Knowing American Waterworks has done projects in the past in their area, the homeowner did some investigating into the services we provide. After seeing the wonderful services we provide, the homeowner was convinced that we should do their project. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and prepared for the arrival of Darin, one of our Design Specialists. Darin arrived at the home to begin the estimate appointment. Following his estimate, Darin found that the foundation was settling and needed to be stabilized. Darin suggested that the entire perimeter of the foundation be stabilized using GeoLocks. The homeowners agreed and the production commenced. Our Foreman, Crescencio, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. The crew began by making sure the basement was cleared for production. Then, the crew began the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks is our innovative wall system that anchors your foundation wall to untouched soil beyond your foundation. To start, the crew excavates a small amount of soil out of the ground to place the first GeoLock anchor. 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. Additionally, the crew included the tightening kit, so the wall can be straightened over time. Once the crew completed the installation, they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowners were grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew.
