Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Darwin, MN, knew it was time to peek at the crawl space underneath their home. Once they saw the status of their crawl space, they knew they needed a professional to check for any possible damage. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner began to look within a 200-mile radius of their home. Near the top of their list was us, American Waterworks. Our high ratings and reviews caught the homeowner's eye, so they decided to call our Appointment Center and sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists. The Design Specialist arrived at the home and started their thorough inspection of the crawl space. Following his inspection, the Design Specialist determined the crawl space required encapsulation. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to follow along with the suggestion. After they received the stamp approval from the homeowner and the office, they were passed along to our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew. Kiko and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, the crew started by removing all the debris from the crawl space. Once the space was cleared, the crew shifted their focus to laying the Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Next, the crew installed CleanSpace in the crawl space floors and walls. Additionally, the crew was asked to wrap the piers in the crawl space. Finally, the crew installed the Everlast crawl space door cover for the crawl space. Once all the products were installed, the crew could clean up their materials and leave the home. The homeowner was impressed with the jaw-dropping crawl space before and after. American Waterworks is happy to encapsulate its homeowner's struggling crawl space

Terri O. of Crookston, MN had water leaking from their pre-existing sump pump, making them feel nervous about water moisture problems. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to their home, inspected their sump pump, and came up with a solution. Terri was confident in Chad's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe is made to keep basements dry for long periods of time, it provides three levels of protection, and it solves all three water problems in one system. To finish the project, our team applied new concrete around the sump pump.

Lisa and Gary B. were getting water in their basement every spring. They got sick and tired of the maintenance, so they contacted our team to schedule a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Ian, went to their home, inspected their entire basement, and drew out a solution. Lisa and Gary were confident in Ian's plan, so they signed his contract, wrote out a deposit check, and set up a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Corey, and his production crew began the project by installing 144 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Our CleanSpace is a waterproof vapor barrier that covers holes and divots, prevents mold and mildew, and directs water into the drainage system. Next, our team installed our DryTrak Baseboard Basement Drain Pipe. Our DryTrak is specifically made for floors that are poured as just one piece; the floor itself and the footing. For this system, no jackhammering is needed, it stays above the mud zone, and it collects water seepage from basement walls. Lisa and Gary were happy with the work that was done and could not believe the beautifying transformation! 

Our professionals sell and install more systems besides basement waterproofing. We also perform work in foundation repair, crawl space repair/encapsulation, radon testing/mitigation, and concrete lifting/repair. Call us today to schedule your FREE estimate! 

Ron, from Eagle Bend, MN, was looking for some solutions for his late father's cabin space. The basement was experiencing water intrusion, and so he and his brother decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property. 

Following a thorough inspection, Kole gave his recommendations to Ron, suggesting that they invest in our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. 

Ron agreed, and our crew got to work.

First, Ou Foreman, Arturo, and his crew began implementing our WaterGuard System, which is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, its easy-to-access service ports, and its ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. 

The drainage system now properly guides water to the Super Sump Plus pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. 

Finally, the team proceeded to install the CleanSpace wall System around the perimeter of the basement. Our CleanSpace Wall System is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners so it never falls.

After all was said and done, Ron was very glad he and his brother made the decision to call American Waterworks and had their peace of mind restored.

Wayne R. in Lake Mills, IA had a sump pump that was unable to keep up with the amount of water that was leaking into his basement. He was hoping to find a sump pump that was able to handle the water, so he contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent Dylan Woitas, one of our Design Specialists, to his home to inspect the problem to first hand and recommend a solution. Wayne enjoyed working with Dylan and was pleased with his solution, so he scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his crew installed a TripleSafe sump pump in place of the old sump pump. The process only took half a day. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump with three levels of protection. Wayne now has peace of mind that his basement is protected by our durable sump pump system.
