Excessive Dampness in Burnsville, MN Crawl Space

A Burrnsville, MN homeowner was concerned about the effects his damp crawl space had on his home and his health, so he contacted the experts at American Waterworks for free consultation and on-site estimate. Jeremy noticed some mold that had built up over time due to excessive moisture that is commonly found in improperly ventilated areas of the home.  

After the mold remediation was complete, We installed a waterproof polystyrene insulation known as SilverGlo to hold back moisture from the crawl space walls.  Any excess moisture build up will then drain underneath a CleanSpace drainage matting system that directs the water flooding into his crawl space to the new SuperSump sump pump system and then removed from the home.  

Waterproofing Basement in Saint Croix Falls, WI

A homeowner in Saint Croix Falls, WI was suffering from a wet basement. After contacting American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, he decided that our waterproofing system was the right fit for his needs, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor and connected it to the TripleSafe sump pump- which is our most reliable sump pump. Water is now properly guided through the drainage system, into the sump pump, and then expelled from the home through the discharge line. 

The homeowner is now enjoying a dry, healthier home and they are glad they chose to invest in the protection of their basement. To learn more about our waterproofing system, click here! 

Basement Space Revamped In Taylors Falls, MN

Jillian and Nathan of Taylors Falls, MN had water leaking through the floor of their basement, along with musty smells and damaged walls, causing them to worry about the state of the home. Our office staff contacted them and set the pair up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to the home to inspect the problem and devise a solution. Rick proposed they invest in our waterproofing solutions to properly address and resolve the issues. Jillian and Nathan were comfortable with the proposal and went ahead with the solution.

Foreman Raul and his crew headed to the property to begin implementation. First, they began by clearing debris and readying the spaces for installation. They then installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address water Issues. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic barrier installed right onto the problem walls, and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. It is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners so it never falls. It also prevents any humidity from invading the walls and gives the basement and clean and bright appearance with a 25-year warranty; this also reduces the home's chances of being exposed to radon. Next, the team worked on our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain, collects water from basement walls, and prevents water clogs. Along with that, they installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System which has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home, then the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. Finally, our team added an Aprilaire dehumidifier, which creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days' time when set to 50% relative humidity. 

The pair was happy with the work and had a great experience with our production crew! If you are experiencing a similar issue, please give us a call and claim your FREE estimate today!

Unfinished Basement Waterproofed in Prior Lake, MN

Jamie and Pat B. of Prior Lake, MN had water leaking into their unfinished basement, causing them to feel nervous living in their own home, so they went to their local home show to find contractors that could help them. They came across our booth and talked to our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, about our waterproofing products. Jamie and Pat decided to have Ryan come out to their home for a FREE Estimate. After a thorough inspection, Jamie and Pat were comfortable with Ryan's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and their production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed 42 feet of our WaterGuard System, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and act like an underground drain. Next, we applied 42 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and humidity and acts as an extra support system. To complete the project, Cory and his team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Jamie and Pat could not believe the installation only took a day. They had a remarkable experience from start to finish!
