Randy, a homeowner in Shevlin, MN, was experiencing water in his basement due to cracked block work. He decided to look around for options on solutions and after his FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie, headed to the property for an inspection. Richie found that Randy needed solutions that addressed both water and foundation issues. Following the inspection, Richie made his recommendations and answered all questions, and Randy made an appointment to implement solutions.

First, our Foreman Raul and his crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls.

Next up was our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home, the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. Once the job is done, the production team then places a new layer of concrete around the TripleSafe to provide a cleaner and more finished look.

Then, they installed a discharge line from the sump pump to our IceGuard System outside of the home. The IceGuard is a waterproofing system that provides an extra block of protection against basement flooding, especially when freezing temperatures are problematic. 

 

The team also installed 8 GeoLock Anchors by digging holes outside the home and installing a metal rod in each hole going through the foundation. After installing a metal rod they proceeded to attach one of the GeoLock Anchors to the end of the rod, allowing the wall to be pulled back to its original position.  Over time, these anchors may be tightened to ensure the rods are effective and stabilize the home's structure. After the installation, the production crew backfilled the holes and replaces the soil to its original look.

They then went to work installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water Issues. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier installed right onto the problem walls, and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. This also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. The crew also used spray foam to seal and waterproof the homeowner's crawl space. Our spray foam is designed to keep the heat inside and prevent cool air from coming in.

Randy loved the new and improved space and is happy that the foundation of his home is in no longer in any danger!

David, who owns a cabin in Shevlin, MN, noticed some issues with his basement space. Unfortunately, the block wall on the east side of the home was cracking and bowing. He contacted us as he realized these were signs of failing. He feared he might risk compromising the home's structural integrity if he left the issue unresolved. When he called in, we set him up with a FREE estimate. Shortly after his appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property. After Ian completed a thorough walkthrough, he explained how our team would properly address the issue.

Ian talked to David about installing our GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. He explained that this innovative system permanently stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to say that the anchors can be tightened over time. David agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Tanner, and his crew headed out to the cabin and got to work. The team installed 75of our GeoLock anchors throughout the basement wall. They discussed with David that it is recommended to use the tightening kit every 4-6 weeks and that we would be in contact in 9-12 months to schedule his 1st Annual Maintenance. At the end of the project, David was happy to know that his basement walls were no longer an issue.

Job Stories From Shevlin, MN
Sinking Home Lifted in Shevlin, MN

In Shevlin, MN, a homeowner faced a significant challenge as their home began to lean, and the floors started sagging. Concerned about the structural integrity and the living conditions these issues imposed, they reached out to our team at American Waterworks for professional guidance. Upon contacting our Appointment Specialist, a comprehensive home inspection was promptly scheduled. Our Design Specialist, Jacob L., conducted a detailed assessment, diagnosing that the home required reinforcement of its foundation due to weakened supporting soils. To address the root of the problem and ensure a long-lasting solution, our specialist recommended the installation of the SmartJack System and Helical Piers. Our experienced production team, led by seasoned professionals, commenced the repair process. The installation began with the SmartJack System, carefully setting galvanized steel columns on a solid engineered fill. These columns were then adjusted to reinforce and lift the sagging floors back toward their original position, minimizing excessive bounce caused by compromised joists. Following this, the Helical Piers were meticulously installed. Starting with engineered steel piers, sections were incrementally added and secured in competent bearing soils beneath the house, allowing for the careful transfer of structural loads. The job was completed with precision, restoring the home's stability and structural alignment. Not only was the foundation stabilized, but the floors regained their original level, significantly enhancing the living environment for the homeowner. This kind of thorough, expert service is why homeowners in Shevlin and beyond choose to rely on American Waterworks to tackle their crawl space and foundation concerns confidently.
