Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Maplewood, MN was worried about his basement when he went downstairs to the space and found some water damage to the floors in the utility room. He figured this wasn't a good sign and was determined to make a change sooner than later to prevent future issues from happening again. As he lived near the cities and knew there would be more luck with finding a service with that city name, so he looked up "waterproofing Minneapolis." The American Waterworks company website showed up and he quickly became interested in the products and services that we offered. He signed up for one of our FREE estimates and was later met by one of our Design Specialists, Darin Stenglein. Darin inspected the basement space and informed the homeowner that our WaterGuard basement drainage system and CleanSpace wall vapor barrier would be the perfect solution for his basement. The homeowner agreed to the installations and looked forward to the project moving forward. Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew went to the site and carefully installed both products. The homeowner was happy with the results and thanked our crew for their hard work.

Joanne S. of Saint Paul, MN had a settled sidewalk leading to her front porch. One of her peers referred American Waterworks and our concrete services. Our Design Specialist, Ben Allrich, proposed the solution of our PolyLevel, which is a special foam that fills the voids underneath the concrete caused by soil erosion and it stabilizes the concrete surface. Joanne was confident in the product, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Dylon Mish, and his crew member injected 32 pounds of our PolyLevel to lift the sidewalk. Joanne was able to walk on her concrete within 15 minutes after project completion and she was amazed by how quickly the project took!

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, had noticed a draft in his home. Try as he might, he could not locate the source of the draft. After weeks of dealing with the issue, it occurred to him that the draft could be coming from the crawl space beneath the home. He took to the internet to search for the 'best crawl space repair near me' and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nick S, was headed out to the home. 

When Nick arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the crawl space. When he completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to let him know the situation. Nick began by stating that the crawl space was certainly energy inefficient, letting cold and hot air in. Nick wanted to fix the issue with our TerraBlock floor insulation system. Nick explained that our TerraBlock is a durable, long-lasting insulation product designed specifically for crawl space floors to help combat these issues. Able to be installed on uneven floors, this product includes a white vapor barrier that will keep moisture from making its way up through dirt, stone, or concrete crawl space floors. It will seamlessly protect your home, keeping your energy bills low and preventing further problems caused by your crawl space from arising. Nick went on to recommend our Foamax Wall Insulation for the walls of the space. He explained that Foamax is a polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel with a white foil finish on the front and foil vapor barrier on the back. Finally, Nick recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the unfinished walls of the space, effectively sealing off the space from unwanted water, weather elements, and critters. The homeowner was thrilled with Nick's recommendations and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Diego B, and his team installed 110 sqft of Foamax, 100 sqft of TerraBlock, and 154 sqft of CleanSpace. Now that the job is completed, our homeowner is thrilled to know that his crawl space is functioning efficiently!

Water was entering into the home, through an old egress window, after heavy downpours.  American Waterworks was able to stop the leak by replacing the window and the window well. 

A homeowner in Roseville, MN was enjoying a nice night by the fireplace when he noticed a damp patch in front of the fireplace. Upon further investigation, he found that water was entering his basement through the base of the brick fireplace. He wanted to get a full diagnosis of the problem so he called our office and claimed his FREE, no-obligation estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Jessie, was scheduled to go out to the home to see what could be done. After Jesse's inspection, he told the homeowner that the basement was only susceptible to water in front of the fireplace. He proposed using our WaterGuard to correct the issue. He explained that our WaterGuard french drainage system is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. He went on to say that this system is popular because of its resistance to clogs, easy-to-access ports, and ability to collect water leaking from basement walls. The homeowner agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Chris, and his team made quick work of the installation. He Connected the WaterGuard to an already installed sump pump and then covered the system up with a layer of fresh cement to keep it in place. Now our customer can enjoy their basement oasis without fear of water raining on their parade!
