Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Wabasha, MN, noticed a funky smell around their home. Unsure of the cause of the smell, the homeowner began to do some investigating. Upon further investigation, the homeowner discovered the scent was strongest in the basement. Having a hunch this may lead to a bigger issue, the homeowner wanted to have a basement expert inspect their home. Knowing there were many options around them, the homeowner decided to research the 'best basement repair near Wabasha, MN'. The company at the top of the list was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner decided to look closer into our website and was immediately impressed. After seeing we offer FREE estimates, they decided to give us a try. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mike, to inspect the basement further. Mike performed the estimate and discovered the scent was coming from the crawl space. Additionally, Mike alerted the homeowner that their home had high radon levels. Mike recommended encapsulating the crawl space and a radon mitigation system be placed. The homeowners agreed with Mike's recommendations, and the plans were passed on to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. First, the crew cleaned the debris out of the crawl space. Once the crawl space was cleared, the crew could install the CleanSpace and Drainage Matting. Then, the crew shifted their focus to installing the Radon Mitigation System outside the home. Once the Radon Mitigation System was properly installed, the crew was able to clean up their job site and leave the home. The homeowners were relieved to know the musty smell was gone and the radon threat was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to make another home safe. 

Clint M. of Taopi, MN had severe water leakage in his basement and decided to call American Waterworks after seeing our company vehicles around town. Our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, went to his home for a FREE Estimate. After an in-depth inspection, Clint was comfortable with Shane's proposal so he set up an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Rene Hernandez, and his production crew began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter of Clint's basement forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain. Next, our team installed our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels around the wall perimeter, which serves as a thick, clean, and protective blanket for basement walls. Rene and his crew replaced the concrete, leaving the basement cleaner than how they found it. Clint had a great experience with Shane, Rene and his crew! 

Bill B. in Rudd, IA noticed that the north side of his basement was taking on water during heavy rains. Bill had tried numerous quick fixes, but nothing he tried was a permanent solution. He decided to call the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, to his home to inspect his basement and provide him with the best long-term solution. Bill was pleased with Mac’s thorough plan, so he scheduled the installation of our waterproofing system.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system. They removed a section of the concrete floor around the perimeter and created a drainage trench. The WaterGuard is then placed within the trench and filled back with rock to fill the gaps. This keeps the drainage system out of the “mud zone”, where drains can clog. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump system which is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The water now properly flows through the drainage system and is then discharged from the home through the sump pump. Bill is now enjoying a dry, healthier basement!

Jack S. of Osage, IA had water leaking through the walls of his basement, causing deterioration and attraction to critters. He went online and came across our website, where he saw some information on our basement waterproofing products. He was confident in what he saw, so he called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to his home, carefully inspected his problems, and drew out a solution that worked for him and his home repair needs. After a thorough inspection, Jack was confident in Eric's plan, so he signed the contract and wrote out a deposit check. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew began the installation by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump. Our crew replaced it with our SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump, which is made to keep basements clean and dry for long periods of time, especially during harsh weather conditions. Once the replacement was completed, our team filled the open gaps with pea gravel and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement looked cleaner than when they found it.

Kathie B.'s limestone and brick foundation wall was deteriorating, but she was unsure how thick the layer of brick was and was not sure how to fix the issue. She got in contact with our team at American Waterworks and set up a FREE estimate to get her deteriorated wall inspected. Our Design Specialist proposed our Wall Recovery System, which is a special system that our team developed. Kathie got all of her questions answered about the product, so she signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team installed 238 square feet of our Wall Recovery System to repair and rebuild the failing wall. This system is two times stronger than concrete and can be installed in one day. Kathie was thrilled with the work and was beautified by the transformation!
