Before & After Photos

Eileen and Jerry B. of Lancaster, MN had water leaking into their basement, and they wanted to get it repaired as soon as possible. They did some research and came across American Waterworks and our basement waterproofing repair projects. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to their home, carefully inspected their project, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. Eileen and Jerry were confident with the solution of our WaterGuard System, so they went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is designed to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. To complete the project, our team covered the open waterway gaps with rock and applied new concrete. Eileen and Jerry were happy with the repairs and had a great experience!

James L. of Lancaster, MN had water issues in his basement, making him worry about water moisture and damage to property. A friend of his had work done by us, so he recommended James to work with us. He got in contact with our staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie. Richie went to James's home, inspected his basement, and drew up a proposal for the work to be done. James was confident in the proposal, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete in the corner of the basement and installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is made up of three layers of water protection and solves all three water problems in one unit. Next, our team installed our Foamax Wall Panels around the basement wall perimeter, which is a special foam insulation that saves money on energy costs and gives the basement a neat, clean appearance. To complete the project, our team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. James was happy with the work that was completed!

A homeowner from North Dakota contacted us pertaining to a deteriorating wall. The couple was interested in moving and didn't want to run into any issues when trying to sell their home. The walls in question were stone walls that were crumbling and had concrete peeling. Our Design Specialist, Ian, concluded the best next step would be to install Wall Recovery on the portions of the wall that were compromised. Our Foreman, Cameron, went out to the property to install the Wall Recovery, which is sprayable concrete used to repair cracks, crumbling, and peeling concrete. Now the home is ready for new owners!

A customer from Jamestown, ND got in contact with us when they began losing sleep over a crumbling wall in their basement. Our customer knew that if he left the wall untreated he could run the risk of severely damaging the structural integrity of his home. When he called in we were able to set him up with our FREE estimate, which entitles customers to a thorough 3-hour inspection by one of our Design Specialists. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property to do his inspection. Once completed, he was able to make recommendations as to how we could best fix the issue. Kole wanted to use two of our products to address the failing wall. First, he recommended the use of our Helical Piers to take some of the load off the foundation itself. These piers are used to provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation is transferred to the pier. He explained that our helical piers can help lift settled foundations back to the original level and that they are the ideal pier for a lighter structure. Kole also recommended the use of our ShotLock system, which entails encasing our PowerBrace, rebar, and steel mesh behind 4-6' of concrete. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Matt, and his crew ended up installing 5 of our helical piers along with 34 feet of ShotLock through the basement of the home. When the work was completed, our customer was relieved to know that he could rest peacefully knowing that the foundation of his home was stable and secure. 

A homeowner in Jamestown, ND, knew it was time to look into basement repair options closest to them. Unsure where to start, the homeowner decided to look at basement waterproofing companies around their area. At the top of the list stood us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our services. The homeowner was impressed with our award-winning products, so they signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, James, to the home to begin the detailed inspection. James arrived at the home and started his thorough investigation of the basement. During his inspection, James discovered the basement needed to be fully waterproofed and stabilized. James recommended a solution that would solve all the issues in the basement. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they agreed with the plan. Once the crew approved the plan, it was passed along to our Foreman, Kinglsey, and his crew. Kinglsey and his crew traveled to the home and started the project by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Next, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Finally, the crew installed an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. Kingsley and his crew successfully installed all the products in the basement, so they cleaned up their material and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners with a secure, dry basement.
