Basement Waterproofing Before and After in Owatonna, MN

A homeowner in Owatonna, MN was worried about his basement when he was downstairs and noticed some water damage to one of the bedroom floors. He didn't know how it happened, but figured it wasn't a good sign, so he decided to go online and find a solution. He looked up "basement leaks from floor" in hopes of finding a company that specialized in waterproofing and found just that with American Waterworks. Once he discovered more about our products and services, he signed up for a FREE no-obligation estimate with us. We got the homeowner's request and sent over our Design Specialist, Adam Voigt to the home to inspect the water damaged room. Adam knew just what to recommend for the situation to prevent more water from entering - our WaterGuard basement drainage system. The homeowner didn't want to deal with a similar problem again in the future, so he agreed to the installation plans. Later, one of our Foremen, Arturo Mares, and his crew went to the site and carefully carried out the installations. The homeowner was very happy with the final results and to have the problems gone.

She no longer wanted to clean up after the older sump pump and decided to begin her search for a sump pump system company in Minnesota. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, Dustin A, one of our Design Specialists, was scheduled to stop at her home. 

After Dustin finished his walkthrough, he informed the homeowner that she was correct to call us and that we could provide her with a new sump pump that would be sure to keep her basement dry.

The homeowner was thrilled about the idea of having a new sump pump, and eagerly scheduled the job for several weeks later.

Outdated Sump Pump Gets an Upgrade in Owatonna, MN

An Owatonna, MN, homeowner was facing a unique issue with her home. Each time it rained, the homeowner's sump pump wouldn't turn on, regardless of the amount of water entering the space. This problem resulted in an even bigger problem: a flooded basement. The homeowner knew she couldn't head into a Minnesota winter with an outdated sump system, so he began searching for a basement specialist near him. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brady S, headed out to the home. 

Brady conducted a thorough inspection of the basement, and when he finished, he was ready to meet with the homeowner. Brady recommended several of our products but stressed the importance of updating the sump system. Brady recommended the installation of our TripleSafe Sump Pump. Brady explained that The TripleSafe is the most reliable sump pump in our lineup. It boasts three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, The TripleSafe offers a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 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 1/2 horsepower pump, set a bit higher, in the liner will take over. The homeowner quickly agreed with Brady and scheduled the installation for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Raul B, and his team effortlessly installed one of our TripleSafe sump pumps. Now, our customer can enjoy the rain without worries that it will wind up in her basement!
