Before & After Photos

Joy J. of Russell, MN had cracked foundation walls in her basement and one of her friends referred American Waterworks so she got on our list for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to her home to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. Jeremy answered all of her questions so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production team started the installation by digging five holes outside of the home and inserting a medal rod in each hole from the exterior soil to the interior foundation. Next, they screwed on and tightened one of our GeoLock Wall Anchors on the ends of each rod to stabilize and straighten the wall back into it's normal position. To complete the installation, Jose and his crew backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Joy couldn't believe how quickly our crew completed the project!

John S. of Luverne, MN had water leaking from the walls in his basement, so he gave American Waterworks a call to set up a Free Estimate. We sent out our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, to diagnose the problem and come up with a solution. After a careful inspection, Eric proposed our CleanSpace Wall System. John got all of his questions answered and felt comfortable, so he went ahead and scheduled the installation date.

Our foreman, Lane Schlobohm, and his production team installed 114 feet of our CleanSpace around the perimeter of the basement walls. Our CleanSpace Wall System is mechanically connected with plastic fasteners to walls so it never falls. It also prevents any humidity from invading the walls and gives the basement and clean and bright appearance with a 25-year-warranty. John was satisfied with the outcome, and was happy he no longer had to worry about his basement walls leaking! 

Elaine and Ray H. of Luverne, MN had water leaking through the cracks of their foundation wall, causing them to have concerns about water moisture and the structural build of their home. They messaged our webchat and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to their home to inspect the problems and come up with proper solutions. After a thorough inspection, Elaine and Ray felt comfortable with Ryan's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which prevents humidity, mold, and water moisture, and covers any big holes or divots. Lastly, our team installed eight of our Geo-Lock C-Channel Anchors and eight of our GeoLock Wall Anchors, to straighten the cracked walls and stabilize them to their natural positions. To complete the work, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. The homeowners were happy with the work and were grateful we were able to help them and their home repair needs!

Dallas K. in Hills, MN was suffering from a wet basement. Water was seeping through his block foundation and his sump pump was old and overdue for maintenance. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate for basement waterproofing. We sent one of our expert Design Specialists to his home to inspect the basement and develop the proper solution. After the inspection, our Design Specialist determined that Dallas would best benefit by having our full waterproofing system installed and Dallas agreed.

Our production crew started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, they installed our TripleSafe sump pump in place of the old sump pump and replaced the concrete over the drainage system and around the sump pump. Since water was also leaking into the basement through the block foundation, we installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system along the basement walls. This protects the basement from moisture and potential mold growth. The installation took a few days to complete, but now Dallas and his family are enjoying a dry, bright, and healthy space!

Linda, from Pequot Lakes, MN, was looking for some solutions for her home's basement space. The basement was experiencing water intrusion, so she decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to the property. 

Following a thorough inspection, Shane gave his recommendations to Linda, suggesting that she invest in our WaterGuard system as well as our SuperSump Plus. 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. Linda agreed, and our crew got to work.

Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew began implementing our WaterGuard System, a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. The crew then broke out concrete to make a feed line. From there, our crew installed our SuperSump Plus Sump Pump to the feedline. Our crew filled the open gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. 

After all was said and done, Linda was very glad she made the decision to call American Waterworks and had her peace of mind restored.
