Expert Basement Waterproofing Company Serving Wabasha County

Ken W. in Lake City, MN had noticed that the crack on his garage wall had gotten far worse over time and he noticed the concrete of his garage started to sink and shift. He was concerned that there was a larger underlying problem, so he got in touch with American Waterworks to have a foundation repair expert inspect it. Our Design Specialist, Mac Cole discovered that the foundation on the side of his garage wall had started settling which was also causing the cement in his garage to become uneven. Mac developed a thorough plan invloving our push piers and PolyLevel injection. 

Ken wanted to move forward with Mac's plan, so our crew started installing the piers. Three piers were put under the footings of where the foundation was settling. The piers allow the weight of the home to be shifted to a more competent soil. Then we injected our PolyLevel foam into numerous sections of the garage's concrete slabs to raise and level them. The total project only took two days to complete. Ken was glad he made it a priority to protect his home and stabilize his foundation.

Eleanor felt that our solution was the most appropriate for her basement, so we sent our crew to install out waterproofing system. We installed an EverLast basement window, WaterGuard along the perimeter of the wall with the window and a SuperSump sump pump. The combination of these waterproofing products ensure that her basement will remain a dry, clean and livable, space.

Marilyn P. in Zumbro Falls, MN was tired of dealing with a sunken driveway. It was continuously getting worse over time, and it had become a trip hazard for her and her husband.

Sarah S. in Kellogg, MN learned about the dangers of radon exposure, so she decided to have her home tested. She contacted American Waterworks to receive a free test. We sent a Design Specialists to her home to set up the test kit and walk her through a solution if her home tested high for radon. The EPA recommends mitigation if the test results are at 4 pCi/L or higher, which is still the equivalent of breathing in 10 cigarettes a day. Sarah’s home tested at 9 pCi/L, so she was eager to have a mitigation system installed as soon as possible.

Our crew started installing the mitigation system by inserting a PVC pipe through the sump pump to create a suction point. Then, they ran the PVC pipe up and out of the house, with a fan connected near to top of pipe to ensure that the radon gas would be pushed out and away from the home. The installation only took a few hours to complete, and now Sarah can rest easy knowing that the radon in her home has been dramatically reduced. The test following the installation showed that her home was now reporting levels of only 1.3 pCi/L. She was thrilled with the results and is relieved that she took the appropriate steps to protect her and her family’s health.

Kelly and David K. of Millville, MN had water leaking into their basement and was sick of having to keep up on the maintenance. She got ahold of our American Waterworks call representatives to set up a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Dustin Loftus, to examine the problem and come up with a solution. After a thorough inspection, they went ahead with the project and scheduled the installation date.

Our foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production crew began the installation by cutting out the concrete around the perimeter of their basement to make a waterway. In the waterway, our crew installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which prevents water clogs and catches leakage from the walls. Next, our crew installed our SuperSump Pump M53, a sump pump designed to keep basements clean and dry for long periods of time, especially during heavy thunderstorms or flooding. 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 discharge line ended at the LawnSpace Outlet; a pipe buried from the downspout that lets all the water waste out. To complete the installation, Arturo and his crew covered all of the open gaps in the basement with rock and replaced the broken-out concrete. Kelly and David were satisfied and content that American Waterworks was able to help them out at their time of need!
