Dependable Basement Waterproofing Company Serving Winona County

According to the World Health Organization, radon causes 15% of the world's lung cancer cases and kills 20,000 people each year. Mike D. in Dakota, MN learned about the dangers of radon, so he chose to have his home tested by American Waterworks. The test results showed that his home had high levels of radon. American Waterworks thoroughly explained the process of having a radon mitigation system installed and how it works. Mike decided it was important to him to protect his family's health, so he chose to have the radon mitigation system installed. 

The installation was a painless process that only took a few hours. The radon gas that was entering his home has now been redirected out of the home through a PVC pipe. The pipe is connected to a fan at the top of the structure to ensure there is proper ventilation. American Waterworks is a trusted member of the National Radon Defense, providing Mike and his family with the confidence that they chose the right contractor for the job and were in good hands.

Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Marcella can rest easy knowing that she won't have to deal with water in her basement again. 

Corey K. in Utica, MN was tired of dealing with the frustration of having a severely sunken driveway. Over time, the driveway had sunk over 4 inches and it caused a large bump while driving in and out of the garage. It was also a trip hazard.

While researching concrete repair contractors, he came across American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our PolyLevel concrete repair solution. He gave us a call and we sent out a Design Specialist to give him a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist thoroughly explained the process of the PolyLevel injection and how it would raise his concrete to be completely level with the garage. Corey was pleased to hear this, and he was also happy that the PolyLevel option is a quicker and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair. 

One of our PolyLevel experts drilled penny-sized holes in numerous spots of the concrete slabs that needed to be raised. He then injected the foam until the driveway was once again level with the garage. Lastly, he sealed the cracks with our Nexus Pro sealant. The entire process only took a few hours and it was minimally invasive. He can now enjoy level concrete for years to come!

Shonna L. in Rollingstone, MN had water seeping into her basement and her old sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water coming in. Her basement had become a damp, musty and unlivable space. She was tired of dealing with a wet basement, so she started to research waterproofing contactors in her area. She found the American Waterworks’ website and was impressed by our extensive waterproofing knowledge. She had us out to her home to look at her basement and provide her with a free estimate. After inspecting her basement, our Design Specialist, Dustin Loftus, was able to develop a thorough and unique plan to waterproof her basement. She was pleased with his proposal, so they set a date for our production crew to install the waterproofing system.

Our production team started the installation by removing the old sump pump and the concrete around the perimeter of her basement where the WaterGuard drainage system needed to be laid. They installed our TripleSafe sump pump, which is our most reliable sump pump. The WaterGuard properly guides the water leaking into her basement to the sump pump. Then, they replaced the concrete over the drainage system and around the sump pump. From there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Shonna can rest easy knowing her basement will always e protected. She is glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her home.

Rich A. in Altura, MN contacted us regarding his severely cracked garage walls. The garage was built on a hill and the soil was shifting, causing damage to the foundation of the garage. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went to his home to provide him with a FREE, onsite inspection. Mac designed a solution to permanently repair the foundation of his garage by using wall anchors and power braces. Rich liked the proposal that Mac presented to him, so he decided to move forward and have our foundation repair system installed.

Our production team started the installation process by drilling small holes into the brick walls and inserting metal rods. Then, they secured the rods with anchors. Once the anchors were completely tightened, they could see a dramatic improvement in the stability of the walls. The walls had started to straighten and there were no longer cracks. Lastly, we sealed the walls with Silverglo and SentrySeal which ensure that water will not seep through the wall. Our foundation repair products are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Rich is confident that he chose the right solution to protect his garage for the long-term.

Andrew from Stockton, MN, got in touch with us when he began to have issues with water pooling in the basement of his home. Andrew knew that standing water could compromise his home's foundation further, as well as be a breeding ground for bacteria and mildew. Andrew and his wife used their FREE estimate with us and our Design Specialist, Mike R., made a visit out to their home to see what we could do to fix the issue. Mike completed a thorough inspection of the property and concluded that the water was entering the basement through the foundation walls. He recommended Andrew invest in our CleanSpace basement sealing system, along with our WaterGuard drainage system. Together, these two products would ensure that Andrew's basement stays dry. The CleanSpace catches any water entering from the walls, trapping it behind a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier. The water then travels down the wall into our WaterGuard which rests below the floor slab. This drainage system works to move the water to the appropriate disposal area. Our Foreman, Jose, and his crew worked tirelessly to transform the basement. They started by installing the WaterGuard, followed by the CleanSpace. Thanks to Jose, his crew, and Mike, now Andrew and his family can enjoy the most of what their basement has to offer!

In Winona, MN a homeowner became concerned when his son told him that an area of their basement floor was wet. He wanted to solve the problem right away rather than wait for the water damage to get worse and hurt more areas of the basement. During his research of companies that provided services in their area, he came across our American Waterworks page. What initially stood out to him was our FREE no-obligation estimate services. He was curious to learn more about why this issue was happening and get it fixed, so he gave us a call to set up an appointment. He was greeted by one of our Design Specialists, Trevor Simmons, who took a look at the basement and found what could be done. His recommendations included two of our products to help with waterproofing the basement, our WaterGuard system and a SuperSump Plus pump system. Wanting to make sure the problem was fixed, and these issues wouldn't occur again, the homeowner happily agreed to the plans. When our Foreman, Chris Newton, and his helpful crew arrived at the home, they began by prepping the area for the installation of the products. To start, Chris and the crew jackhammered channels around the necessary perimeters of the wall. They laid drainage stone throughout the empty spaces and installed the WaterGuard on top. The system was covered with another layer of stone followed by a layer of concrete to seal in the installations and protect it from other elements. Finally, the crew installed the SuperSump Plus, a system designed to keep basements dry and healthy for long periods of time and had connected a feed line from the perimeter drain to direct the water to the pump. The basement was left in great condition, ready to take on the upcoming rainfall and the homeowner was relieved to be rid of the water damage.
