Before & After Photos

Joe and Christina M. of Park Rapids, MN had water leaking through the foundation walls of their basement, making them feel nervous about flooding, water moisture, and health problems. They saw American Waterworks online so they called our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to their home to carefully inspect their problems and come up with a solution. Joe and Christina were confident in Chad's proposal and were happy with our products and their warranties, so they went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain that connects to the sump pump. Our WaterGuard is one of the most common waterproofing products because of its easy-to-access service ports, its resistance to clogs, and its ability to collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System, which is similar to an extra wall protectant. Our CleanSpace is pliable enough to cover uneven surfaces and irregular walls, including areas with divots or rock. It also prevents any mold and humidity and provides the basement with a neat and clean appearance. Joe and Christina were amazed by the transformation, and had a great experience from start to finish! 

Homeowners in Park Rapids, MN had water leaking into their unfinished basement. They were unable to go about their renovations with this problem. They got in contact with our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with one of our Design Specialists. He went to their home, inspected their basement, and drew out a solution. The homeowners were confident in our proposal of our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, so they signed our contract. 

Our Foreman, Corey, and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is the most popular interior drainage system because of its easily accessible service ports, its ability to collect water seepage from basement walls, and its prevention from water clogs. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Our CleanSpace is designed to prevent mold and humidity from invading the basement, saves money on energy costs, and gives the basement a warm and bright appearance. To complete the installation, Corey and his crew filled the floor gaps with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete. The homeowners were satisfied and could not believe the transformation!

Jeff B. of Park Rapids, MN wanted his crawl space encapsulated, so he did some research online and came across our website. After seeing some of our projects online, he called our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our team. Our Design Specialist, Ian, went to Jeff's home to inspect his crawl space and draw up a solution for our CleanSpace Encapsulation and Foamax Wall Panels. Jeff was appreciative of Ian's time and was confident in our system, so he got a date scheduled for installation. 

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his production team began the process by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space wall perimeter. Our Foamax provides comfort and energy bill savings while giving the walls a clean and bright appearance. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Moisture Barrier throughout the floor of the crawl space. This barrier prevents wood rot, mold, and mildew while keeping the crawl space dry and protecting the house structure. Along with that, it seals away smelly odors, increases the value of the home, and provides extra storage space. Jeff was happy with the work and could not believe the transformation!

Jeff S. wanted an Egress Window and RockWell Window Well installed at his cabin in Park Rapids, MN. He saw an American Waterworks advertisement on HomeAdvisor, so he requested a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Kole. Kole went to Jeff's house, inspected his window space, and provided a quote for the project. Jeff was confident in the proposal, so he went ahead with the process.

Our Co-Foreman, Zach, and his crew member, Dillan, installed broke out the pre-existing window and replaced it with our Egress Window to provide more light, fresh air, and a safe exit out of the cabin. Next, our team installed our RockWell Egress Window Well, which allows for the safe exit, it looks like stone landscaping, and it's a one-piece construction that doesn't rot or deteriorate. Jeff was happy with the work and is looking forward to the weekend visits to his cabin!

David, from Bemidji, MN, was growing more concerned over the state of his crawl space. If a crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues can extend to all parts of the home. David wanted to understand why it was happening, make sure that the issue was corrected, and restore peace of mind moving forward. After deciding on our company, we set him up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how American Waterworks could help. Richie explained that crawl spaces will show mold, must, and wood rot, even if it is ventilation, because these vents simply do not work.

Our Foreman, Tanner, went out with his crew to help solve the problems of dampness and must that can lead to things like foundation issues and even radon gas. Tanner and the team cleared out the space and then implemented our drainage matting; a dimpled matting that gets installed onto the floor of the crawl space, giving any excess water a route to flow through the space and be disposed of at an external site such as a drain or a sump system. The second step was our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp that works to trap any excess moisture in the space, redirecting it to the appropriate disposal site. Finally, our team added an Aprilaire dehumidifier, which creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days' time when set to 50% relative humidity. This, combined with our crawl space liner, will create a drier, healthier crawl space. Our crawl space liner is made with seven layers of tough, durable material that's designed to withstand traffic from the homeowner and workers -- with a 25-year written, transferable warranty! David was very pleased with the results and grateful his peace of mind was restored.
