Before & After Photos

Joyce T. in Gaylord, MN had water leaking into her basement causing damage to her property. She learned that American Waterworks has been the leading waterproofing contractor in the region for 30 years and gave us a call. We sent one of our Design Specialists to her home to propose a unique solution that fit the needs of her home. 

Our production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they laid the WaterGuard drainage system and connected it to our SuperSump sump pump. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is expelled from the home. Joyce can rest easy knowing she chose a permanent solution to protect her home.

For this job, we headed out to Perham, MN, where we assisted a customer who was having issues with bowing wood and water in their crawl space. Our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property and was able to recommend solutions for both of the issues. To address the bowing wood, Richie suggested they have several SmartJacks installed under the main beam of the floorboard. Our SmartJacks have the option to be tightened over time, making it the ideal solution for homeowners who need a long-term fix. Richie suggested our CleanSpace waterproofing encapsulation be installed in the crawl space to keep it dry and energy-efficient. Another excellent project completed by Richie, our Foreman Cameron, and his team!

A customer from Perham, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his crawl space was causing issues with his home. When he called in, he noted that he was experiencing unwanted water in the space along with a sinking floor from the room above. He had concerns that if he left the issue unresolved, it would result in damage being done to the structure of the home which would cost more to fix down the road. We set him up with our FREE estimate and our Design Specialist, Richie N headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once Richie had completed his thorough walkthrough, he made several recommendations as to how we could help. First, Richie wanted to wrap the space in our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is a tarp-like material that traps water and helps deposit it to the appropriate location. Second, Richie recommended our AprilAire dehumidifier, one of the most elite self-draining dehumidifiers on the market. Finally, Richie wanted to address the sagging floor by using our Support Jacks, which are adjustable supplemental support systems used specifically for sagging crawl spaces and can restore them to their original position. Our customer agreed with the suggestions and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew worked quickly to install 12 of our SmartJack support jacks and 1030 sqft of CleanSpace throughout the crawl space, and finished off the job by installing one of our Aprilaire dehumidifiers. Once completed, our customer was happy to know that he didn't need to worry about the structural integrity of his home any longer! 

Reeny and Maureen of Eden Valley, MN had water leaking through the floor of their unfinished basement and they wanted to get it fixed before it became a bigger problem. They did some research on Google and came across American Waterworks and our basement waterproofing repairs. They called our office line to set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to their home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Reeny and Maureen were confident with the proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Edgar Miranda, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed 64 feet of our WaterGuard Drainage System. Our WaterGuard is one of the most efficient waterproofing repair products. It acts as an underground drain, collects water from basement walls and prevents water clogs. To complete the project, Edgar and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Reeny and Maureen were happy with the work and no longer have to worry about water leaking into their basement! 

Karen E. of Pemberton, MN had water leaking through the windows of her basement and needed them replaced with more protection. After doing some research on the American Waterworks website, she called and got her FREE Estimate scheduled. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to her home to inspect the windows and come up with a solution. Karen was confident with the proposal, so she scheduled the installation. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production crew broke out the concrete around the existing windows and installed our EverLast Basement Windows, which provide much more protection and energy efficiency. Hugo and his crew applied new concrete around the windows to complete the project. Karen was very happy, and the project was done within a day!
