Before & After Photos

Andrew in Winthrop, MN had water leaking through his block foundation where the wall meets the floor. He had a working sump pump already in place, but without a drainage system the water had no way to reach the pump. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to his home to develop a solution for Andrew. Our Specialist recommend having our WaterGuard drainage system installed and connected to the sump pump.

Andrew agreed with this solution, so our production crew started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the floor to create a trench for the WaterGuard. Then, they laid the WaterGuard drainage system and filled back the gaps with rock. They connected the drainage system into the existing sump pump and then replaced the concrete. This process only took a day to complete, and now Andrew is enjoying a dry, healthier basement.

In Winthrop, MN, a homeowner had been experiencing multiple issues with their home: an uneven porch and high radon levels. Knowing that the porch has become a trip hazard and the dangers of high radon levels, the homeowner began looking into concrete repair and radon mitigation installers in the area and found us. Happy to see that we provide services for both issues, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Tony B., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Tony took a close look at the layout of the home and worked closely with the homeowner on the best placement of our radon mitigation system. Tony recommended installing the fan on the exterior of the home and having it connect to the sump pump pit in the basement. This is designed this way so that the system can properly suction out the radon gas and expel it above the roofline before it can enter the home. He also noticed signs of soil washout of the back porch and recommended lifting the uneven slabs with PolyLevel and sealing the joints with NexusPro. PolyLevel is a fast-curing foam solution that is designed to lift uneven slabs without the mess of traditional methods like mudjacking. NexusPro is our UV-resistant silicone-based sealant that will provide a seamless look. Happy with the recommendations, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dylon V., and his crew arrived at the home to lift the sunken slabs. Once the porch was lifted and leveled, eliminating all trip hazards, the crew applied NexusPro along the joints. Then, in a week, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home to install the radon mitigation system. Once it was installed, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Debra and Kathy of Ulen, MN had water leaking into their basement, making them feel nervous about the value of their home. They did some research online and came across our American Waterworks website and our basement waterproofing products. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick Weber. Rick went to their home to inspect their problem and come up with a solution. Debra and Kathy were confident in Rick's proposal, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson and his team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor, forming a trench. Next, our crew applied 77 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System and secured it around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that prevents mold and humidity from invading the basement and acts as an extra wall protectant. Then, Tremaine and his crew installed 77 feet of our WaterGuard System into the formed trench. Our WaterGuard collects water seepage from basement walls and acts as an underground drain that leads to outside. Lastly, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

A homeowner in Ullen, MN, was cleaning their basement and noticed a musty odor throughout the basement. After taking a closer look, the homeowner discovered leaking water throughout their basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner began looking into "waterproofing services near me," and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our work, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, James. The following week, James arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the basement. During his inspection, James confirmed that several areas were suffering from water damage. To prevent this issue from worsening, James recommended waterproofing the entire basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed. Next, James and the homeowner worked together to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Franklin, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Franklin and his team began by securing WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement wall. Finally, the crew completed the project by installing 8 PowerBraces along the struggling walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is secure from water intrusion.
