Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Saint Peter, MN had many years of experience with water damage in their basement, so they finally gave American Waterworks a call after seeing our vehicles and yard signs around their hometown. They scheduled a FREE Estimate with one of our Design Specialists to examine their basement and design a detailed solution. The homeowner was confident in our proposal of our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels and our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and their warranties, so they signed the contract. 

Our Foreman and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which serves as an underground drain, collects leaking water from basement walls, and prevents water and mud clogs. Next, our team installed our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels around the entire wall perimeter. These wall panels provide energy savings, serve as a protective blanket, and prevent wood rot and mold growth. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete over them. The homeowner was thrilled with the work and had a great experience!

A homeowner in Detroit Lakes, MN had water leaking into their basement, making them feel uncomfortable living in their own home. They called American Waterworks and requested a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, went to their home to inspect the basement and come up with a solution to their problem. The homeowner was confident with Chad's plan, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Brian Colliton, and his production team began the project by forming a trench around the concrete perimeter of the basement floor with a jackhammer. Our team installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which acts as an underground drain and transports water waste to the sump pump. Next, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump in the corner of the basement, which solves all three water problems in one system and triples the protection. To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. The homeowner was thrilled with the work and loved watching the transformation!

Dustin H. of Detroit Lakes, MN had water leaking into his basement, making him feel nervous about moisture problems and water damage. They called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz, to get a new sump pump installed. Ian went to his home, inspected his problems, and came up with a solution that fit his needs and budget. Dustin was comfortable with Ian's proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete around his pre-existing sump pump and replaced it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe is the best sump pump that we provide for homeowners, it comes with a battery back-up, and it solves all three water problems in one system. To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Dustin was happy with the repairs and loved the new view under his staircase! 

A homeowner in Detroit Lakes, MN became worried about the state of her crawl space after a heavy rainfall. After checking the space, she found some water damage and figured something was up with the current sump pump and how much water it was pumping. She quickly went online to find a service that could find if that was the root of the problem and to offer a solution for the space. The homeowner found the American Waterworks website in her searching and decided to choose us because of our positive reviews from previous customers. She signed up for a FREE estimate with us and was later greeted by one of our Design Specialists, Kole Lefebvre. Kole found that the pump in the wet crawl space was indeed the problem. He explained that installing our WaterGuard system would help to intercept the water in the crawl space and send it away to a new TripleSafe pump to prevent more damage and from it leaking into the home. The homeowner agreed to the plans and was eager for the project to begin. Our Foreman and his crew arrived at the site and installed both products. They ensured everything was working properly and the homeowner was very impressed with the work that was done.

A homeowner from Detroit Lakes, MN, was down in her heated crawl space arranging some boxes when she did a double take. One of her crawl space walls appeared to be tilting inward. The homeowner was in the process of prepping her home for sale and knew a bowed foundation wall would not make the cut. She began to search for local crawl space repair in Detroit Lakes, and quickly found American Waterworks. She was impressed with our years in business, numerous awards, and 4.8/5 star rating on Google, so she decided to claim her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Derek Wang, one of our Fargo Design Specialists, was headed out to her home. When Derek arrived, he was lead to the crawl space where he began his evaluation. When he finished his comprehensive estimate he met with the homeowner to go over his findings. 

Derek began by commending the homeowner for getting help. He said that a large majority of people would wait to address the issue, which would end up costing more money in the long run. Derek went on to say that foundation walls are designed to withstand the load of your home from above. When too much pressure is put on the side of the wall, the wall becomes weakened, leading to cracks, bowing, tilting, and foundation shifting. Derek stated that the solution was our GeoLock wall anchors. This innovative system stabilizes failing walls by anchoring it to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, providing a less-intrusive and messy option over full replacement of the wall. The homeowner was glad to know that the fix wasn't extremely invasive or time consuming, and decided to schedule the basement wall anchors on the spot. 

A month later, our Foreman, Nanga M, and his crew effortlessly installed 8 of our GeoLock anchors within the crawl space, effectively putting an end to our customers concerns and allowing her to list her home on the market with no reservations.
