Interior Drainage System Installed in Willmar, MN

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!

Wet Basement in Willmar, MN, Waterproofed

A homeowner in Willmar, MN, noticed their basement was suffering from water intrusion. Concerned that this could lead to more serious issues, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Nick. A few days later, Nick traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Nick confirmed water was seeping through at the bottom of the basement walls. To stop this issue from worsening, Nick recommended securing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Nick to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Kiko and his crew secured WaterGuard along the basement walls. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. As soon as both products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew.

Basement Restored in Madelia, MN

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!

Foundation Repair and Basement Waterproofing in Glenwood, MN

Hilary N. of Glenwood, MN had water in her basement and cracked foundation walls. She had work done by American Waterworks before, so she had our team perform a FREE inspection. After a detailed analysis, Hilary was confident in the proposal and presentation, so she went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production crew started the installation by installing our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain System, which serves as a basement drainage system, while preventing wall clogs and collecting water seepage from basement walls. Next, our crew replaced Hilary's pre-existing sump pump with our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which provides tripled protection and solves all three water problems in one unit. Then, our Foreman and his team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity, and gives the basement a clean, neat appearance. Lastly, our team installed our Wall Anchor System to straighten and stabilize the foundation wall. To complete the installation, our crew filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Hilary had a great experience and gave us a five-star rating on google!
