Basement Encapsulated in Prinsburg, MN

A homeowner in Prinsburg, MN, chose to have the crawlspace in their home encapsulated. After seeing an impressive before and after on their social media, the homeowner reached out to American Waterworks for their FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Shane, visited the home and completed a total inspection. After completing the inspection, Shane walked the homeowner through each step of the encapsulation process. After hearing Shane's explanation, the homeowners agreed to his suggestions. Our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew made their way to Prinsburg to begin the encapsulation processes. Before the crew's arrival, the homeowner was asked to remove any debris in the crawlspace. Once the crew arrived, they began the crawl space encapsulation process. They flattened the area to allow for easy installation. Next, the crew laid CleanSpace along the walls and the floor of the crawlspace. The crew left a cleaner and encapsulated crawl space.

Basement Waterproofing in Starbuck, MN

Jeremy K. of Starbuck, MN had water leaking into his basement, causing him to worry about water moisture and damage to his personal property. He got in contact with our office staff at American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to his home, inspected his problems, and drew up a well-designed solution. Jeremy was confident in Shane's proposal of our WaterGuard Drainage System, so he signed the contract and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is an underground drain that prevents water and mud clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and works efficiently with the sump pump. To complete the work, Tremaine and his team filled the open gaps with rock and pea gravel and applied new concrete over it. Jeremy was ecstatic with the outcome of the project and had a positive experience!

Wet Basement Gets Upgraded in Sleepy Eye, MN

A Sleepy Eye, MN, homeowner was struggling with a damp basement after heavy rainfall. Not wanting the issue to worsen, he decided to begin the search for a basement waterproofing company in Minnesota. Once he found our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan W, headed out to the home. 

After Dylan arrived, he got right to work assessing the basement and trying to find the source of the leaking. Once Dylan completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Dylan explained that the water was entering the home through cracks in the floor, and therefore, he wanted to address the situation with several of our products: WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and our AprilAire dehumidifier. Dylan elaborated, explaining that these products would work closely together to keep the basement dry. Any water entering the basement through the floor would immediately be caught by the WaterGuard, an award-winning below-floor drain that lays on top of the footing of the foundation to catch unwanted water, directing it to the appropriate disposal site, which would be the TripleSafe. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump, boasting three levels of protection for your basement. The TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. Finally, Dylan said that even basements with effective waterproofing solutions can develop moisture problems. For this reason, he recommended the use of our AprilAire E100 dehumidifier. This powerful machine creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% relative humidity. The homeowner liked the sound of the approach and scheduled the job to be completed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Lane, and his team ended up installing 136 ft of our WaterGuard around the perimeter of the space, along with 1 TripleSafe sump pump, and 1 AprilAire E100. Now our customer can enjoy his basement without worrying about water intrusion!
