Water Leaking into Lake Elmo, MN Basement

Anne in Lake Elmo, MN had water seeping through her basement walls. She contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our experts to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. She was pleased with our proposal, so she set a date to have our waterproofing system  installed. 

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system in her basement and connected it to a SuperSump sump pump. The drainage system now properly guides any water seeping in to the sump pump. From there, the pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Anne now has a dry basement and she is glad she invested in protecting her basement from water for the long term.

Replaced Sump Pump in Lake Elmo, MN

A homeowner in Lake Elmo, MN, noticed their sump pump making unusual noises. Concerned, the homeowners wanted to have a professional inspect their sump pump. The homeowners came across our page after looking through the many waterproofing companies in the area. Impressed by our variety of high-quality sump pumps, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the FREE estimate was made, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Ryan. Once he arrived, Ryan inspected the current sump pump and discovered it was time for a replacement. Ryan told the homeowners about their dying sump pump but recommended that the homeowners take a look at our different options. With the help of Ryan, the homeowners pick the sump pump best fit for their home, the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Once the plan of action was decided, it was then sent to the assigned crew to complete the job. Our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew received the plans and traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, the crew took out the old sump. As soon as the old sump pump was removed, the crew put the TripleSafe sump pump into place. The TripleSafe sump pump is our most reliable sump pump system and has three levels of protection for your basement and peace of mind. After the TripleSafe was secured into place, the crew installed a 40 inch buried discharge line outside the home. The crew completed the installation and then cleaned the job site. The homeowners were grateful to know they have the most reliable sump pump in their home. Ameircan Waterworks is glad to provide our homeowners peace of mind. 

Crawl Space Encapsulation in Inver Grove Heights, MN

Kathy F. of Inver Grove Heights wanted her crawl space encapsulated, so she requested a FREE Estimate with our company. Our Design Specialist, Dustin, went to Kathy's home, carefully inspected her crawl space, and determined a solution that worked for her and her needs. She was confident in Dustin's proposal of our CleanSpace Encapsulation System and our Foamax Wall Panels, so she signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Jose, and his team began the project by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space wall perimeter, which is a special foam insulation that makes the basement warmer, brightens the space, and drain wall leaks into the drainage system. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier throughout the floor of the crawl space. The purpose of this barrier is to keep the crawl space dry, protect the structure from wood rot and mold, and seal away smelly odors. Kathy was happy with the work and was grateful for the extra storage space!

Out of Date Sump Pump Replaced in Inver Grove Heights, MN

There was a recent storm in Inver Grove Heights, MN, and a homeowner lost their power. The following day, the homeowner noticed standing water in his basement. He decided to look into updated sump pumps that will operate during power outages and found one of our job stories. The homeowner looked through our website to learn more about our sump pump lineup and wanted to get our TripleSafe installed, so he contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to assess the basement. He explained to the homeowner that our TripleSafe sump pump would provide his home with three levels of protection. The primary pump is placed at the lowest level and is capable of pumping out 2,200 gallons of water per hour. The second pump is placed slightly higher in case the primary pump fails or becomes overwhelmed. The third pump is our battery backup that can pump out water during power outages, which is perfect for what the homeowner is looking for. Along with explaining our TripleSafe sump pump, our Design Specialist also suggested installing our IceGuard discharge line attachment that will not freeze under harsh temperatures. The homeowner happily agreed to our Design Specialist's suggestion and decided to move forward with the design.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Diego B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They replaced the old sump pump with our TripleSafe and installed two IceGuards outside of the home, connecting it to the sump pump. Once the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer has a sump pump system that can operate during power outages! Is your sump pump out of date? Schedule your FREE estimate with one of our experts today!
