Before & After Photos

Geoffrey P. of Norwood Young America, MN had water issues in his basement, as well as a cracked foundation wall. He did his research for local contractors and came across American Waterworks. He scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric inspected Geoffrey's basement and proposed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, and our Wall Anchor System. Geoffrey was confident in the project, so he scheduled the date for the install. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his crew installed our WaterGuard first, which is an interior drainage system that prevents clogs and has easily accessible water ports when it comes time for annual maintenance. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity and provides warmth to the basement. Lastly, our crew installed our Wall Anchor System which brings the foundation wall back to its natural position. Geoffrey said he no longer has any water in his basement and was very happy with the crew!

A customer from Saint Francis, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice water entering an older well room of his home. He wanted to ensure that the foundation of his home was preserved and safe from water damage. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate. Next, our Design Specialist, Jesse, headed out to the property to see what could be done. Once he completed his thorough inspection, he was able to make a recommendation as to how we could fix the issue. Jesse wanted to use several of our products, beginning with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that this tarp-like material works to trap water entering through cracks and holes in the wall, draining it downwards to our WaterGuard french drainage system. Jesse went on to say that this drainage system sits below the concrete of the floor out of the "mud zone" and traps water entering through the ceiling and cracks in the floor and drains it to the appropriate source. Next, Jesse wanted to use our SuperSump Plus sump system, to handle the customer's current water intrusion with the opportunity to expand in the future. Our customer agreed with the plan of action and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his crew ended up installing 14ft of CleanSpace and WaterGuard throughout the well room along with one SuperSump Plus system. Our customer is now happy to know his waterproofing issues are a worry of the past! 

Richard H. in Lewisville, MN was tired of dealing with the frustration of his sunken driveway. It had sunk 2-3 inches below the concrete floor of the garage and created a large bump when driving in and out.

He started looking for concrete repair experts and found American Waterworks. He was interested to learn more about our PolyLevel concrete repair solution, so he gave us a call. Our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, went to his home to give him a free onsite estimate. Richard was pleased to learn that we would be able to raise his concrete and make it level with the garage again. 

Our PolyLevel expert drilled penny sized holes into the concrete slabs to inject the foam. Once the foam is injected it takes only 30 minutes to cure, so Richard was able to see the results almost immediately. Richard was happy he found an affordable and efficient concrete repair option through American Waterworks. He will no longer have the frustration of uneven concrete for years to come!

Terry and Lori in Madelia, MN were aware of the age of their waterproofing system in their home. They were concerned that it needed some attention and that the basement walls might need a little help. They learned that we are the leading contractor for waterproofing in the region and called us for a FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to evaluate their home and propose a solution. They approved of the recommendation and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew installed 108 feet of WaterGuard along the perimeter of his basement floor, which guides water to the sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water from the home through the discharge line to the outside, keeping the basement dry. Then, the crew installed our BrightWall Rigid Basement Wall System. BrightWall is a waterproof, rigid plastic paneling for unfished basement walls. It keeps humidityand water vapor from passing through the foundation walls and into the basement. Any water seepage through the walls is directed into the drainage system, and it transforms the basement into a bright space!

A Young America, MN, homeowner was down in his basement one day when he noticed a large crack running the length of his basement wall. He was concerned since he hadn't noticed the crack a week before, thinking that the wall might be failing faster than he realized. He decided to find a foundation repair contractor in his area. Through word of mouth recommendations, the homeowner quickly found American Waterworks and signed up for his FREE estimate.

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, was headed out to the home. When Ryan arrived he headed to the basement to get started. Upon completion, he met with the homeowner. Ryan began by saying that foundation walls are not designed to withstand pressure from the side, so when the pressure being put on the side of a wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Ryan went on to say that our GeoLock wall anchors could reverse the issue, as this innovative system counteracts the pressure being put on the wall by anchoring the failing wall to the hard-packed, undisturbed soil beyond the foundation of the home. The homeowner liked the sound of Ryan's plan and scheduled the work on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team were in the basement installing the system. In the end, they installed 16 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his foundation is secure!
