Before & After Photos

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.

After comparing several companies, the homeowner decided to go with us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. Next, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate on our website. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Speicalist, Ryan. A few days later, Ryan arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Ryan confirmed that several areas were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent this issue from worsening, Ryan suggested waterproofing the entire basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Ryan to schedule the installation date. Once the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Lane, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Lane and his crew started by securing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew cleaned and secured the TripleSafe Sump Pump in the corner of the basement. Finally, the crew finished the project by attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement wall. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their basement was secure. After the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home.

Lorelle J. from Paynesville, MN was experiencing excess water build-up due to the old sump pump that was installed in the home. This water build-up was damaging other parts of her home including the foundation. Lorelle then contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks to claim her FREE estimate entitling her to a free home inspection. Once an appointment was scheduled,  our Design Specialist then attended the home and began a thorough inspection of the home and the perimeter of the home to properly diagnose the issues Lorelle is experiencing and provide a proper solution that would not only eliminate the issue but prevent any other issues from arising. Once the inspection was completed our Design Specialist recommended that Lorrelle replace the old sump pump and invest in the TripleSafe Sump Pump system that we offer here at American WaterWorks. Lorelle agreed and proceeded to schedule a date of installation. 

Our Foreman, Julio Murillo, and his designated crew then proceeded with the installation process by taking out the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with the Triple-Safe Sump Pump System. The Triple-Safe Sump Pump System has three levels of protection which solves all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the Triple-Safe Sump Pump comes a battery backup which helps in the case of a power outage, keeping the basement dry and secure. To finish the job the crew proceeded to fill the gaps with engineer fill to prevent any sediment from entering the sump pump basket and affecting the pumps. Once backfilled the team then proceeds to put a layer of concrete to provide a finishing look. Lorelle was happy with the job and had a great experience with the production crew!!
