Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Fairmont, MN, was distressed when they discovered water in their basement. Frantic to stop further water from entering, the homeowner looked up the closest waterproofing company in the area. One of the top results was us, American Waterworks, and the homeowner searched to see if we could come to the home as soon as possible. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. As soon as we could, we sent one our of Design Specialists, Dylan, to perform the estimate. After Dylan completed the detailed estimate, he determined that the basement needed to be fully waterproofed. Not wanting this issue to become reoccurring, the homeowners agreed. The plans were sent to the assigned crew and job preparations began.  Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the project. First, the crew started by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. After the WaterGuard was properly placed, the crew dug a line across the basement to insert the feedline. Then, the crew removed the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. On the outside of the home, an IceGuard was attached to the outside discharge line. Finally, the crew installed CleanSpace on all the basement walls. The crew cleaned up any excess water and materials. The homeowners were beyond thankful to know their basement was fully waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to make another homeowner's basement dry again. 

A business owner from Fairmont, MN, was facing a serious issue with his basement. Whenever it rained, he could see water entering the space through holes in the wall, slowly running down the wall and leaving him with a headache. He was unsure of who to turn to for this issue, so he began to look for Fairmont, MN basement repairs. When he found our website, he found that he was impressed with other work we had done in our area, so he signed up for one of our FREE estimates. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, was headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived, he got right to work assessing the space. Upon completion, he was ready to make his recommendations for the next steps. First, Ryan recommended our TrenchDrain system, explaining that the TrenchDrain resembles half of a basement drainage pipe, with a grated opening fitted snugly on top. The grate is flush or slightly below the floor, eliminating any tripping hazard. It is uniquely designed to span doorways, hatchway entrances, and similar entryway doors. Any water passing over the drain is collected through the openings and redirected to your sump pump. Ryan had noted that the space lacked a sump pump, so he recommended our SuperSump plus system, an economical, yet effective, choice for ridding a basement of unwanted water. The homeowner agreed and scheduled the job for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Chris N, led his team through the successful installation of 1 SuperSump plus, and 12 ft of TrenchDrain. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his basement is protected from unwanted water! 

A homeowner in Cologne, MN, found that water was seeping between the cracks of their blocks in the basement. Concerned by this finding, the homeowner searched for the best waterproofing company in their area. After hearing positive reviews from their neighbors, the homeowner decided to sign up for American Waterworks' FREE estimate. After finalizing the appointment, one of our Design Specialists, Eric, traveled to the home to inspect the possible damages. After his detailed investigation, Eric alerted the homeowners that their basement needed proper waterproofing. Eric provided a recommended solution to the homeowners to solve their water issues. Knowing this would be a long-term solution, the homeowners agreed to Eric's recommendations. 

Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew traveled to the home and began installing the recommended waterproofing products. First, the crew installed the WaterGuard around the majority of the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, a feedline was installed across the basement floors. Next, the crew installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump and IceGuard to tie into the existing system. The crew installed all the waterproofing products and left the basement nice and dry. The homeowners were thankful they had a proper waterproofing system installed in their basement. American Waterworks is pleased to assist another valued customer.

Ruth O. in Mound, MN was suffering from water leaking in to her basement. She had been dealing with the problem for quite some time now and was tired of dealing with it. After researching local waterproofing company’s, she got in touch with the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to her home to provide her with a solution and a free estimate. Chad worked with Ruth to develop the right waterproofing plan for her and her home. She liked the proposal that Chad developed, so she scheduled a date for our production team to install the waterproofing system.  

Our crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the stairs, where the water was leaking in. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump and a discharge line to the outside of the home. The water is now properly guided through the drainage system to the sump pump. Then, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and the water is expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Ruth now has peace of mind that her basement will remain dry and that she chose the right solution.

Tom, from Mound, MN, gave us a call when he began to notice water entering the basement of his home. Tom knew that if he left the problem unresolved then he would run the risk of mold or mildew accumulating in the space. When Tom called, he used his FREE estimate, which entitled him to a thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists from our waterproofing and foundation division. Once the walk-through was over, our Design Specialist made a few recommendations as to how we could best fix Tom's situation. First, he recommended that we use our CleanSpace basement wall vapor barrier. He explained to Tom that this 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier is used to prevent leaks and mold growth in any basement, by trapping any moisture behind the plastic barrier. Going hand-in-hand with this product, he also recommended our WaterGuard draining system. Our Design Specialist told Tom that this drainage system could be installed below the floor, but above the foundation footing of the home, and works to collect any excess water trapped behind the CleanSpace or entering through cracks in the floor, and directs said water to the appropriate place, like a sump pump. Tom agreed with the recommendations made and work began shortly after. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew ended up installing 81ft of our CleanSpace and another 81ft of our WaterGuard drainage system. 

When the project was complete, Tom was happy to know his basement waterproofing issues were in the past!
