Unfinished Basement Waterproofed in Prior Lake, MN

Jamie and Pat B. of Prior Lake, MN had water leaking into their unfinished basement, causing them to feel nervous living in their own home, so they went to their local home show to find contractors that could help them. They came across our booth and talked to our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, about our waterproofing products. Jamie and Pat decided to have Ryan come out to their home for a FREE Estimate. After a thorough inspection, Jamie and Pat were comfortable with Ryan's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and their production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed 42 feet of our WaterGuard System, which is designed to collect water seepage from basement walls and act like an underground drain. Next, we applied 42 feet of our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and humidity and acts as an extra support system. To complete the project, Cory and his team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Jamie and Pat could not believe the installation only took a day. They had a remarkable experience from start to finish!

Damp Basement Gets Upgraded in Prior Lake, MN

A homeowner from Prior Lake, MN, was dealing with water intrusion in her basement. Not wanting the issue to get out of hand, she decided to begin the search for a company that could help fix the issue. On the recommendation from a friend, she decided to call American Waterworks and set up her FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nick S, headed out to the home to assess the basement. 

Upon the completion of the assessment, Nick met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Nick explained to the homeowner that he wanted to combat the water in the basement with our WaterGuard. He elaborated, saying that our WaterGuard is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. Nick went on to say by installing the drain at this point, it's kept out of the "mud zone","the point where clogged drains are common. The unique shape and large drain openings of WaterGuard® also aid in preventing clogs in the system.The homeowner agreed with Nick's proposal and a the job was scheduled for a month later.

Waterproofing and Sump Pump Installation in Savage, MN

Nicholas H. in Savage, MN had water leaking into his basement during heavy rains and when snow melts. The water was starting to pool in the laundry room and their old sump pump had failed. He saw an advertisement for American Waterworks in one of the local newspapers and he was glad to see that we are experts in waterproofing. He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to give him a FREE estimate. Chad established that the best solution was to install a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump. 

Nicholas was eager to get his basement waterproofed, so he set an appointment to have the system installed as soon as possible. Our production crew installed the WaterGuard drainage system around the entire perimeter of the basement, which guides any water seeping in directly to the newly installed sump pump. The sump pump then discharges the water outside of the home. Our waterproofing system is backed with a lifetime warranty, so it is guaranteed to keep his basement dry. Nicholas is glad he invested in a long-term solution to protect his home.
