Professional Waterproofing, Concrete Lifting & Foundation Repair in Wright County, MN

A Town Home association in Delano, MN had a situation where water was leaking into the basement of a tenant’s Town House. They reassured that tenant that they would resolve the situation as quickly as possible, so they contacted American Waterworks to waterproof the basement. When our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, entered the basement to provide them with a free estimate, he discovered that their old sump pump had failed and that had caused the wet basement. Chad developed a thorough waterproofing plan that was the most beneficial for the townhome association as well as the tenant living there.

Our production team installed our Iron Oaker drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump. The drainage system properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and out of the townhome. The installation process took two days, but since our waterproofing system is guaranteed for a lifetime, the townhome association can rest easy knowing they chose the right long-term solution.

Blake C. in Cokato, MN was concerned about his foundation walls that were quickly deteriorating. They had large cracks through them and one of the walls was starting to bow inward. He decided he needed to find a solution before the foundation failed altogether, so he contacted the foundation repair experts at American Waterworks. 

We successfully restored Blake's foundation by installing wall anchors on each of the damaged walls. We drilled long metal rods through the walls into the soil, and then secured them with anchor plates on each end. The anchors were tightened, and the wall stabilized. The anchors should also be tightened over time to continue improving the security of the foundation. Blake is glad he chose to permanently protect the foundation of his home.

David O. in Rockford, MN had water leaking into his basement, and he wanted to fix the problem. He contacted American Waterworks customer service to set up a Free Estimate.

David thought Shane was very efficient, and answered all of his questions thoroughly, so he approved of the plan and moved forward.

Our Foreman, Dan Hendrix, and his production crew started the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of his basement floor to make a waterway. Next, they placed our Waterguard around the perimeter and installed our TripleSafe sump pump, which provides three levels of protection and is our most reliable sump pump. Lastly, they installed our Fomax insulated panels on the wall, which prevents moisture and makes the space look clean. They ended the project by filling the gaps with rock and installed new concrete around the sump pump and over the Waterguard. David was very happy he chose American Waterworks, and can now enjoy a dry and clean basement for years!

Troy and Mary Anne from Saint Michael, MN had several bowing and cracked walls from the outside of their garage below their frost line, so they contacted American Waterworks to set up a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, to figure out what the best solution would be. After a detailed inspection, Eric determined that push piers with frost protection and powerbraces would be a long-term solution to their existing problem. 

Our foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew started the project by digging all the soil out from around the side of the garage. Then, they installed six push piers on the south side of the garage due to the uneven foundation. Push piers are one of the most durable solutions we offer because they provide long term results for any foundation. The walls were bowing on the side of the garage as well, so our crew installed five powerbraces to strengthen the walls on that side. Powerbraces are one of the most durable solutions we offer because they provide long-term results for any foundation walls. Lastly, they sprayed frost protection to help prevent heaving to occur. Troy and Mary Anne are satisfied and are happy we were able to improve the stability of their home.

Next, Jose and his crew installed 47 feet of WaterGuard in the basement trench, connected both ends to the sump pump, covered all the open gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. WaterGuard serves as an underground drain that catches water waste and prevents water from clogs under the concrete.

Collin from Saint Michael, MN, got in contact with us when he came across our website and decided he wanted his home tested for Radon gas. Collin used his FREE estimate with us to have one of our Design Specialists out to his home to test the levels of radon within the home by leaving a Continuous Radon Monitor in the home for 48 hours. When the test returned, Collin was informed that the levels of Radon in his home were at 6 pCi/L. Our Design Specialists let him know that the National Radon Defense recommends taking action with any levels above 4 pCi/L, at which the Radon levels in a home are equivalent to that of 100 chest x-rays. Collin decided to take action immediately and have a Radon Mitigation System installed in the home. 

Our Foreman, Geno, and his crew were next to stop at the property. After a careful assessment, they determined the best area for the mitigation system to be placed.

A homeowner in Rockford, MN, tripped walking into their home one evening. Not wanting anyone else to be injured, the homeowner began searching for a solution. The homeowner wanted to avoid replacing the entire slab, so they searched for concrete repair companies. During their search, the homeowners stumbled upon our social media and saw our previous work. The homeowners were impressed enough to visit our site and investigate our concrete repair services. Wanting to give us a chance, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was made, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of a Design Specialist. Once the Design Specialist arrived, they began the inspection of the concrete. The Design Specialist discovered that the concrete was uneven due to it sinking into the ground. After they determined the cause, the Design Specialist could provide a solution to the homeowner. The Design Specialist suggested that the concrete be lifted and leveled. Knowing this would be the best option the homeowner agreed. Our Design Specialist directed the plans to the assigned crew and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Sam, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the PolyLevel installation.  The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of the concrete. The crew started by strategically drilling small holes throughout the slab. Then, the crew inserts ports into those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew shifted their focus to filling the cracks and replacing the joints. The crew utilized NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. Once the job was complete, Sam and his crew cleaned up their materials and left. The homeowners were relieved to know the tripping risk was eliminated and they did not need to replace their sidewalk. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Saint Michael, MN, noticed the crack in their basement wall was growing and becoming a hazard. Wanting to get ahead of the issue, the homeowner decided to look into foundation repair companies near them. Not sure where to begin, the homeowner looked on HomeAdvisor for the highest-rated foundation repair companies near them. One of the first companies to show up was us, American Waterworks. After seeing our wonderful reviews and near five-star reviews, the homeowner decided to visit our website. While on our website, the homeowner was impressed with all our services and decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was made, the homeowner waited for the arrival of Eric, one of our Design Specialists. Eric arrived at the home to begin the inspection of the basement. During his inspection, Eric found that the foundation wall was rapidly failing and needed to be permanently stabilized. Eric suggested that the walls be stabilized using GeoLock anchors, a system that permanently stabilizes your foundation wall and can straighten it over time. Knowing this was the best option for their home, the homeowner decided to follow Eric's recommendations. The plans were then sent to the assigned crew and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Luis, and his crew were assigned to complete the job, and they traveled to the home. Soon after they arrived, the crew began installing five GeoLock anchors on the east foundation wall. The GeoLock Wall Anchor system permanently stabilizes the foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed untouched soil beyond your foundation. The crew installs the GeoLocks by digging a section of the ground to place the first GeoLock anchor. Once the GeoLock is in place, another anchor is attached to the interior wall. Both GeoLocks are connected by a small, steel pole direct through the ground. Once the GeoLocks are secured, the soil is put back on top of the ground. The crew cleaned up the site and left the home. The homeowners were grateful that their wall was no longer at risk of failure. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Annandale, MN was visiting his cabin and doing some cleaning to the area to prepare it for the upcoming summer months. He went to the concrete steps leading down to the lake and noticed how some of them had sunken quite a bit. This made it slightly difficult to walk up and down them, especially for some of his family members that would visit later in the summer. He decided that something should be done to eliminate the problem now and prevent any possible problems in the future. Online he looked up multiple kinds of concrete repair and replacement companies, but only one stood out to him: American Waterworks. He signed up for one of our FREE no-obligation estimates because he was interested in learning more about a plan and speaking with an expert before agreeing to installations. Our Design Specialist, Mike Dexter, made his way to the cabin and inspected the areas of concern for the homeowner. Mike knew what the best way to move forward with was and suggested our PolyLevel solution be installed below the sunken steps. He explained that PolyLevel works to stabilize and lift concrete back up with minimal disruption to the space. The homeowner agreed and the plans were sent off for approval. One of our Foremen, Dylon Mish, and his crew went to the site and began the project by drilling small holes throughout the steps. Then, they inserted ports through the holes to reach the empty space below and injected the PolyLevel underneath the steps to lift them back up. The homeowner was thrilled with how the project turned out and glad he had contacted us.

In Buffalo, MN a homeowner was alarmed to find some puddles of water in one of the rooms of his basement. His initial thought was that something was wrong with his old sump pump, but he wanted to get a professional's opinion to be sure. He went online to look for a waterproofing service in his area by searching "basement repair contractors." The homeowner sifted through the results, but only one company really stood out to him: American Waterworks. He signed up for one of our FREE no-obligation estimates and was later greeted by one of our Design Specialists, Dave Seawell. Dave informed the homeowner of his recommendation to install some of our quality products that would work to stop water from entering the basement room. The homeowner was excited to hear that something could be done, and he agreed to the installations. Our Foreman, Lane Schlobohm, went to the site with his crew, and they began the project by jackhammering channels along the perimeter of the basement. Then, they partly filled the channels with drainage stone, the WaterGuard drain system, and more clean stone. They also connected a feed line from the drains to the new TripleSafe sump pump that was installed for the water to safely travel from. Next, the crew fastened CleanSpace vapor barrier to the bottom half of the walls to direct water leaking from the walls to the drains below and to brighten up the room. To finish the project, the crew poured and smoothed a layer of concrete over the drains and around the pump for a clean and pleasing look to the space that the homeowner was very happy with.

A homeowner in Montrose, MN, recently came upon a blog post discussing the danger that radon poses in homes. She learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As the soil decays, it releases radon. This makes radon completely unavoidable. After learning this information, the homeowner decided to look into radon mitigation services in the area and came upon our website. She then contacted us to claim her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Gary S., arrived at the home and conducted a radon test. He placed our continuous radon monitoring test at the lowest level of the home and explained to the homeowner that it would need to run for at least 48 hours. He also told the homeowner that if the test results are not at dangerous levels, it is always good to test the radon levels of your home as we cannot see, smell, taste, hear, or touch radon. After about a week, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is the EPA's required action level for radon.  The homeowner then informed Gary and scheduled to have our radon mitigation system installed.

In a couple of weeks, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The radon mitigation system is installed at the lowest level of the home. A hole is drilled into the footing, and a PVC pipe is placed and connects to the radon mitigation system that is installed outside of the home. This is designed so that it can tackle the radon-rich air and spew it outside before it can enter the home. Once the crew was done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Delano, MN, was concerned when he noticed that his uneven walkway would pose a trip hazard for friends and family. He decided to look into concrete lifting and leveling in the area and found our website. After browsing our website, he was so impressed with our concrete before and after transformations that he decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

After several weeks, our Design Specialist, Eric H., arrived at the home to inspect the walkway. He noticed that there were multiple cracks in the slabs as well as the growing gap that had formed between the joints. Once Eric properly inspected the walkway, he provided the homeowner design with a solution. He recommended our PolyLevel, a high-density polyurethane formula that is designed to lift and stabilize concrete slabs, and NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant, to be placed on the joints and to repair the cracks that had formed. After reviewing Eric's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to his recommendation and scheduled a date for the installation. 

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Dylon V., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by drilling small holes into the slab and installing the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, filling in the voids and gaps in the soil. Once the concrete slab has been lifted, the crew ensures it is level before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro to seal the joints and repair the cracks. After they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Loretto, MN, had noticed that her basement walls were damp and had water leaking between the wall and the footing. Concerned this would lead to permanent damage to her home, she decided to search for "leaky basement repair" and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was impressed with our before and after transformations and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home for the inspection. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of a leaking basement is a failed footing drain. When this fails, water will saturate the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then enters through cracks in the walls, between the wall and footing, and beneath the footing. For this reason, our Design Specialist recommended installing our WaterGuard, a below-the-floor perimeter drain system that will effectively collect water and send it away, CleanSpace, a wall vapor barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls and moves water from any leaks to the perimeter drain system, SuperSump+, sump pump system that is capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, an anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge line freezes or becomes blocked. After the homeowner reviewed our Design Specialist's proposal she decided to move forward with the project.

In a couple of months, our crew arrived at the home to carry out the installation. They began by installing 112ft of CleanSpace and attaching it to the basement walls using drilled-in fasteners. They then 112ft of WaterGuard, the SuperSump+, and 1 IceGuard. Once the crew was done with the installations, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Buffalo, MN, noticed that water was leaking along one of the walls in his basement. Knowing that the issue would only worsen if left untreated, the homeowner searched for basement waterproofing in the area and found our website. After browsing our website and growing impressed with our before and after photos, the homeowner decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Lance S., arrived at the home to assess the basement and to provide the best solution for the homeowner. Lance explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of a leaking basement is hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure is pressure exerted by a fluid. When it rains or floods, the soil surrounding the foundation becomes saturated with water, and water then moves through cracks on the walls, between the footing and wall, or beneath the footing. To fix this issue, Lance recommended WaterGuard, our perimeter drain system that collects water and directs it to the sump pump, and CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that prevents water from permeating the walls and directs water leaks to the drain system. After reviewing Lance's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project. 

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Diego B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed a total of 21ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace. After they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
