Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Battle Lake, MN had water leaking from their walls, causing them to worry about water damage and flooding hazards. When it comes to block foundation walls, the open spaces in each block may fill with water, which then leaks through the walls. By eliminating that, our crew broke out the bottom of the wall perimeter by a few inches, then drilled a weep hole into each block. Next, our team installed our DryTrak Drain Pipe System, which our crew did not have to use a jackhammer for. In this case, our team just applied it over the floor perimeter., which prevented extra labor and exposure to dust. The water then was able to pour through the holes and directly into the drain pipe. 

The homeowner was happy with the repairs and was grateful we were able to help them with their basement waterproofing needs!

A homeowner was in their basement when they discovered water damage and immediately panicked. Knowing the winter months were approaching, the homeowners wanted to get ahead of any further damage. While comparing different basement waterproofing services, the homeowner determined American Waterworks was the best fit. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate with Design Specialist, Ian, and the waterproofing began. Ian suggested that WaterGuard be installed around the perimeter of the leaking room, then CleanSpace be placed on the walls, and finally, a new sump pump be installed. After presenting the plan, the homeowners agreed and the project began. Before the job, the homeowner was asked to remove the shelves around the construction area. Our crew drove out to the property and started by creating channels around the full perimeter of the home. Next, the crew removed the old sump pump system and installed the SuperSump+ in the home. Then the crew installed the CleanSpace System on top of the exposed wall. The crew completed the full waterproofing of the basement. The homeowner was thankful their basement was saved and American Waterwork was pleased to help another customer.

A homeowner in Graceville, MN was tired of dealing with her worn down and old basement space. Over the years, the water damage had increased, and she decided it was finally time to stop the problem before something more serious happened to the home. She went online to find a solution and found the American Waterworks website where she scheduled a FREE no-obligation estimate with one of our experts. We sent over Design Specialist Kevin Beseman to the home where he inspected the basement space and talked with the homeowner about her expectations. The homeowner explained that she not only wanted the water intake to stop, but for the basement to look cleaner and not as dark or damp. Kevin assured her that he had the perfect solution to achieve both of her wants. The homeowner agreed to the plans and the installation day was scheduled. When our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew arrived at the site, they installed a new SuperSump Plus pump and our CleanSpace basement wall vapor barrier. With these new products, the basement was able to take the incoming water and direct it safely outside of the home. The homeowner was pleased with the water-free space and how bright the basement looked.

For this job, we headed out to Perham, MN, where we assisted a customer who was having issues with bowing wood and water in their crawl space. Our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property and was able to recommend solutions for both of the issues. To address the bowing wood, Richie suggested they have several SmartJacks installed under the main beam of the floorboard. Our SmartJacks have the option to be tightened over time, making it the ideal solution for homeowners who need a long-term fix. Richie suggested our CleanSpace waterproofing encapsulation be installed in the crawl space to keep it dry and energy-efficient. Another excellent project completed by Richie, our Foreman Cameron, and his team!

A customer from Perham, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his crawl space was causing issues with his home. When he called in, he noted that he was experiencing unwanted water in the space along with a sinking floor from the room above. He had concerns that if he left the issue unresolved, it would result in damage being done to the structure of the home which would cost more to fix down the road. We set him up with our FREE estimate and our Design Specialist, Richie N headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once Richie had completed his thorough walkthrough, he made several recommendations as to how we could help. First, Richie wanted to wrap the space in our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is a tarp-like material that traps water and helps deposit it to the appropriate location. Second, Richie recommended our AprilAire dehumidifier, one of the most elite self-draining dehumidifiers on the market. Finally, Richie wanted to address the sagging floor by using our Support Jacks, which are adjustable supplemental support systems used specifically for sagging crawl spaces and can restore them to their original position. Our customer agreed with the suggestions and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew worked quickly to install 12 of our SmartJack support jacks and 1030 sqft of CleanSpace throughout the crawl space, and finished off the job by installing one of our Aprilaire dehumidifiers. Once completed, our customer was happy to know that he didn't need to worry about the structural integrity of his home any longer!
