Before & After Photos

Terry from Wheaton, MN had begun to notice a draft originating from the crawl space below his home. He was worried that his crawl space was the culprit behind high energy bills in the colder months. After doing some research, he decided to call our office to see if we could help. We set him up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to see what could be done. When he arrived, he completed a thorough inspection. Once he concluded, he was ready to make some recommendations. He wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier to address the drafty space. He explained that our CleanSpace for crawl spaces gets applied to the walls of the space and works to repel any humidity, moisture, or outside air. Terry agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Luis, and his team ended up installing 154 ft of our CleanSpace throughout the crawl space. Now Terry can enjoy the winter months without worrying that his drafty crawl space is running up a high energy bill. 

John from Wheaton, MN was beginning to suspect that his sump pump was in need of an update. He noticed that the system wasn't performing as it used to, and as a result, unwanted water was finding its way into the lower levels of his home. John was afraid that the water would cause a more expensive issue to fix down the road if it wasn't properly addressed. He came across our business and decided to give us a call. We set John up with our FREE estimate and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property to see what could be done. Ian recommended our TripleSafe sump pump to replace the older model. Ian explained that the TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump system, providing three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. John agreed with his recommendations and work began weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Zach, installed the new sump pump with no issues. Now John can head into the wetter months without worrying that his sump pump isn't equipped to handle large amounts of water. 

John, a homeowner in Wheaton, MN, needed a solution for his basement water issues. With heavy rainfall, water entered the basement where the floor and foundation meet, and egress windows were filling up with water. After looking around he went on the American Waterworks website and we set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to his home to inspect the leaks and devise a solution. John got all of his questions answered and was confident in Ian's proposal, so he moved forward with the project. 

First, Foreman and his production crew started the installation by completing a half-wall demo and then breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System along the East wall of the basement where issues were present. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. To complete the WaterGuard project, Zachary and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Are you having water problems in your basement?

Next, our TripleSafe Sump Pump System was implemented in the basement. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. The TripleSafe Sump Pump also comes with a battery backup which helps when the home may lose power; the sump pump will still function and drain the excess water. To complete the project, the team covered the gaps with engineer fill, preventing soil from entering the Sump Basket and damaging the Pump System. Then they apply a new layer of concrete to give a finishing look. Finally, the team worked to fix the leaky basement windows with the WellDuct® Basement Window System to redirect flooding to a perimeter drain or drywell.

Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know that his basement had been transformed and he no longer had to worry about water intrusion! 

A homeowner in Detroit Lakes, MN had water leaking into their basement, making them feel uncomfortable living in their own home. They called American Waterworks and requested a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, went to their home to inspect the basement and come up with a solution to their problem. The homeowner was confident with Chad's plan, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Brian Colliton, and his production team began the project by forming a trench around the concrete perimeter of the basement floor with a jackhammer. Our team installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which acts as an underground drain and transports water waste to the sump pump. Next, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump in the corner of the basement, which solves all three water problems in one system and triples the protection. To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. The homeowner was thrilled with the work and loved watching the transformation!

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!
