Foundation Repair and Basement Waterproofing in Madison, MN

David L. of Madison, MN had water leaking into his basement, as well as a cracked foundation. He heard about American Waterworks from another contractor, so he contacted our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to David's home, carefully inspected his issues, and determined a solution that would work for him, his needs, and his budget. David felt confident in the solution, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Cole, and his production crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain which serves as an underground drain that prevents mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our Foamax Wall Panels which is a special foam insulation that saves money on energy costs and prevents water moisture from invading the basement. Lastly, our crew installed our Wall Anchors throughout the foundation wall. Our Wall Anchors are designed to straighten foundation walls and bring them back to their natural position. David was happy with the work that was done, and had a great experience from start to finish!

Basement Wall Gets Stabilized in Appleton, MN

Amanda, from Appleton, MN was beginning to notice that one of her basement walls was beginning to bow, showing signs of wall failure. She was concerned that a bowing wall could mean trouble for the structural integrity of the home. She did research about companies in the area that could service her home and came across our website. She decided to give us a call, and we set her up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, headed out to the property to see what could be done. After he completed his walkthrough, he was able to recommend a solution to the problem. Ryan wanted to use our PowerBrace system to correct the failing wall. Ryan explained that this system is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to strengthen walls over time. He went on to say that this system can be tightened over time to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. 

Amanda agreed with Ryan's recommendations and work began a few weeks later. Our Foreman, Luis, and his crew ended up installing 5 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement of the home. Now Amanda can enjoy her basement without worries about her foundation being unstable.

Sump Pump Installation in Garfield, MN

A customer from Garfield, MN, got in contact with us because she found water pooling in a corner of her basement. She had plans to renovate the space into a living space and wanted to know her options moving forward. Our Design Specialist made a few suggestions. First, he stated the property needed a Sump Pump to adequately drain water our CleanSpace and WaterGuard systems are able to catch. All of our sump systems have several beneficial features for the customer, beginning with a WaterWatch alarm that notifies the homeowners of the overflowing of the sump basket and airtight sump lids that keep odor and humidity out while simultaneously protecting the interior of the pump. Our Foreman, Cameron, installed the new system and now the homeowner is able to transform her space into the basement of her dreams! 

Basement Waterproofing in Whipholt, MN

A company building in Whipholt, MN had water leaking into their basement, and their walls were damp after heavy rains. They got in contact with American Waterworks for our basement waterproofing systems. Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, went to the building for a FREE Estimate and carefully inspected the basement. After a thorough diagnosis, Chad proposed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier and our WaterGuard Drainage System. The company owner was confident in our products and their warranties, so they signed the contract, wrote out a deposit check, and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain, collects water seepage from basement walls, and prevents water or mud clogs. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is made to prevent mold and humidity, give the basement a neat and clean appearance, and saves money on energy costs. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it, ensuring the basement looked neater than when they found it.
