Reliable Foundation Repair, Crawl Space & Concrete Leveling Experts in Ramsey County

A house owned by a property management company in Saint Paul, MN had a bowing foundation wall in the basement. They decided they needed to repair the foundation in order to maintain the home and ensure its stability for years to come. They contacted American Waterworks for a free foundation repair estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to the home to inspect the foundation and develop a solution. The property management company liked Chad’s proposal, so they decided to move forward with the installation.

Our production team installed three PowerBraces along the bowing wall to provide support and stability. Our foundation repair solutions are backed by a lifetime warranty, so they are confident that they chose the right solution to repair the home for the long-term.

Mardele W. in West Saint Paul, MN was suffering from water leaking into her basement and she was tired of cleaning up the mess every time there was a heavy rain. She decided to contact American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, so one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, went to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. Jeremy worked closely with Mardele to create the best waterproofing plan for her and her basement. She enjoyed working with Jeremy and was pleased with his proposal, so she scheduled to have our waterproofing system installed.

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system around her basement floor. They also installed a SuperSump sump pump in the corner of the basement. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Our drainage system is backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Mardele has peace of mind that her basement will always be protected from water. She is glad she chose to protect her home for the long-term.

Douglas P. in Saint Paul, MN had a crack in his foundation where water was leaking in. Any time he experienced a heavy rain, water would start to pool in his basement with no where to go. He started looking for a waterproofing company, and he found American Waterworks on Home Advisor.

He got in touch with us to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. While Chad was there, he noticed that the support beams in his basement had started to sag, which was causing the cracks in the foundation. Chad recommended that we install SmartJacks as well as our waterproofing system to ensure that his basement would permanently be a dry space. Douglas agreed, and he liked the proposal that Chad presented, so he decided to move forward with the installation.

Our production team installed the SmartJacks first to hold up the beams and provide permanent support. Then, they removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installed the WaterGuard drainage system and SuperSump sump pump. Lastly, they installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier to keep mold and moisture out of the basement. Water is now guided through the drainage system and led to the sump pump, where it is then discharged from the home. The combination of these foundation repair and waterproofing products have created a dry, clean, and stable basement for Douglas. Both our waterproofing and foundation repair products are backed by warranties, so Douglas can rest easy knowing he chose a reliable, long-term solution.

Jen from Saint Paul, MN was constantly having excess water build-up. The excess water build-up was damaging not only her floor but the appliances around her basement. Jen then contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate and inspection. Our Design Specialist then attended Jen's property and began a full home inspection to give a proper diagnosis and solution to help Jen resolve the issues she is experiencing. Our Design Specialist proposed to Jen our SuperSump Sump Pump System along with our WaterGaurd discharge line. The SuperSump Sump Pump is designed to keep basements dry for long periods by discharging the water out and away from the home in an efficient and timely matter. Jen agreed with the proposal and scheduled the date of installation. 

Our Foreman and his production crew then proceeded with the project by breaking the concrete located in the lowest part of the basement. Once the hole is dug the production crew then installs the WaterGuard discharge line along the wall where the SuperSump is located. The SuperSump sump pump is then installed and connected to the WaterGuard. When the production crew completes the installation process they replace the soil with engineer fill around the sump pump, to prevent sediment from entering the filtration system, and place concrete around the sump pump to give a finishing, neat look. Jen was happy with the project and is now worry-free about the excessive water build-up!

Mike from Saint Paul, MN noticed that his basement window did not allow any natural sunlight into the space. Mike wanted a new look as his window was failing and deteriorating. Mike reached out to our Appointment Center at American Waterworks to claim his FREE estimate, which entitles Mike to a free home inspection by our Design Specialist. Once the appointment was set our Design Specialist then attended to Mike's property and began to do a full home inspection to provide the best solution for Mike and his worries. Our Design Specialist proposed to Mike to invest in our EverLast Basement window along with our SunHouse Window Well. The EverLast basement window is a double-paneled window that is energy efficient and may be removed easily for cleaning and maintenance care. Mike loved the idea of the Everlast window and scheduled a date for installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team then began the process by cleaning the area around the window and removing the window to begin the installation process. The production team then proceeded to install the Everlast window and attached the SunHouse window well to allow more natural light to enter the basement.

Paul from Elizabeth, MN was beginning to notice that his floor was showing signs of sloping. Paul knew that the space below could potentially be to blame and wanted to get ahead of the issue before it had the chance to worsen over time. After doing some research he came across our website and decided to give us a call. We set Paul up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free, no-obligation estimate into the root of the issue. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Evan N, headed out to the property to complete his walkthrough. Upon inspection, Evan found that Paul's assumptions were correct. The beams below the sloping floor were showing signs of bowing, resulting in the uneven floor above. Once Evan had diagnosed the issue, he was ready to make his recommendations. Evan wanted to use our SmartJack support system to address the bowing. He explained that the SmartJack is comprised of steel beams used to provide solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists. He finished by saying. Once installed in your crawl space, SmartJack support posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames. Because of its design, the SmartJack can be adjusted over time to provide additional straightening and leveling action if necessary. Paul agreed with the recommendation and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Zach, and his team worked hard to install the beams in the basement of the home. When they completed the project they had installed 2 of our SmartJacks and a supplemental beam. Now Paul can enjoy his space without worrying about uneven floors! If you're experiencing a similar issue to Paul, click HERE to claim your FREE estimate now.
