Before & After Photos

A local church in Emerado, ND, was completing annual inspections when they discovered their foundation was struggling. Worried this could cause major, long-term damage, the homeowner searched for professional assistance. During their search, the homeowner came across the best foundation repair company in North Dakota, American Waterworks. The homeowner took a closer look at the projects we have serviced and knew we were the company for their job. After signing up for their FREE estimate, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ian, to complete the project. Ian arrived at the church and began his detailed inspection. Once he completed the inspection, Ian found several issues regarding the foundation and crawl space. Ian recommended permanently stabilizing the foundation and fully encapsulating the crawl space. Knowing these fixes were necessary, the church agreed with Ians' suggestions. Once they were approved by the office, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew. After they received the stamp of approval, the crew traveled to the home and began the project. Kingsley and his crew started by cleaning out all the debris from the crawl space. Once the debris was cleared, the crew installed 36 SmartJacks throughout the crawl space. Next, the crew put seven GeoLock Wall Anchors into place. The crew shifted their focus to encapsulating the crawl space. First, the crew began by installing Draintile around the perimeter and interior foundation. Then, the crew installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump in the western corner of the crawl space. Next, the crew placed Drainage Matting on the floor and installed CleanSpace over top. Additionally, CleanSpace was installed on several columns and obstructions throughout the crawl space. Once the CleanSpace was installed, the crew installed Foamax on the perimeter walls and over the openings in the foundation. The crew successfully installed all the products throughout the crawl space, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The church was relieved to know their foundation was permanently stabilized and the crawl space was properly encapsulated. American Waterworks is happy to provide its customers peace of mind. 

Paula B. of Willmar, MN had water leaking into her basement and she wanted to have someone come out to take a look at it before it got any worse. Our Design Specialist, Chad, went out to her home to inspect her problems and draw up a well-detailed solution. Chad proposed a replacement of her existing sump pump with our SuperSump Plus M53, which is designed with two pumps and keeps basements dry for long periods of time. Paula felt confident in the product and its warranty, so she signed Chad's contract and set up a date for the installation.

Our Foreman, Raul, and his production crew cut out the concrete around their pre-existing sump pump and replaced it with our SuperSump Plus M53, followed by the discharge line. The discharge line is designed to allow an escape for water to leave the home without invading the foundation. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Paula was happy with the work that was performed!

Joyce and Rich N. of Willmar, MN had water leaking into their basement. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to Joyce and Rich's house, inspected the water leaks, and proposed a solution that would work for them and their budget. Joyce and Rich got their questions answered, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his crew broke out the concrete, forming a hole. In the hole, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump we provide for homeowners because of its triple protection and ability to solve all three water problems in one unit. Joyce and Rich were thankful we were able to help them with their basement waterproofing needs.

A homeowner in Willmar, MN had water seeping into their basement, causing their entire space to be wet. They called American Waterworks and requested a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Chad, went to the homeowner's house, carefully inspected their basement, and proposed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system that collects water seepage from basement walls and guides the water to the sump pump, which then gets discharged out of the home. 

Our Foreman, Raul B., and his crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard, covered it with river rock to allow water flow, and applied a new layer of concrete over it to ensure the basement was neat and clean. The homeowner gave our crew a 10/10 and said they were very polite and clean!

Terry and Lori in Madelia, MN were aware of the age of their waterproofing system in their home. They were concerned that it needed some attention and that the basement walls might need a little help. They learned that we are the leading contractor for waterproofing in the region and called us for a FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to evaluate their home and propose a solution. They approved of the recommendation and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew installed 108 feet of WaterGuard along the perimeter of his basement floor, which guides water to the sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water from the home through the discharge line to the outside, keeping the basement dry. Then, the crew installed our BrightWall Rigid Basement Wall System. BrightWall is a waterproof, rigid plastic paneling for unfished basement walls. It keeps humidityand water vapor from passing through the foundation walls and into the basement. Any water seepage through the walls is directed into the drainage system, and it transforms the basement into a bright space!
