Before & After Photos

William and Heidi T. of Lake Benton, MN have had a wet basement ever since they moved into their home. They finally decided to have a professional look at it, so they called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to her home, carefully inspected her basement, and drew up a solution that would repair their basement and home repair needs. They were confident with our proposal and job description, so they went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. This drainage system is the most common drainage system we provide for homeowners because of its easily accessible service ports and its ability to collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. This vapor barrier is designed to prevent mold and humidity, save money on energy costs, and give the basement a neat and clean appearance. Lastly, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump that we provide for homeowners because it triples the protection, solves all three water problems in one unit, and comes with a battery back-up. Our battery back-up is designed to keep the sump pump running if there was a power outage. To complete the project, our Foreman and his crew filled the open-floor gaps with rock and applied new concrete over it. William and Heidi were both happy with the project, and had a great experience from start to finish!

Dianne and Lois of Ivanhoe, MN had water leaking and cracked foundation walls throughout their basement. They wanted to get it repaired as soon as possible so it didn't get any worse. They got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to their home, inspected their issues, and came up with a solution that fit their needs and budget. Dianne and Lois were confident in Ryan's proposal of our waterproofing and foundation repair products, so they went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench, and diagonally down the middle, forming a feed line. In the perimeter trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System in connection with the feed line. Our WaterGuard is made to prevent water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, Matt and his team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent humidity and mold build-up, and act as an extra wall protectant. Then, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is provided with three layers of protection and solves all three water problems in one system. Lastly, our team installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabilize and straighten the foundation wall. Our wall anchors are embedded in stable soil outside of the foundation wall and is connected by a long, medal rod to a wall plate that provides clamping pressure against the inside of the foundation wall. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps throughout the trench and feed line with rock and applied new concrete.

Joe, from Bertha, MN, got in touch with us when he had enough of dealing with unwanted water intrusion in his basement. He wanted to know what could be done, so he called our office and we set him up with our FREE  estimate. A few weeks later one of our Design Specialists, Daniel, headed out the property to assess the situation. Once he concluded his walkthrough, he informed the homeowner that his sump pump was a bit outdated, meaning it wouldn't be as affective in times of heavy rainfall. He recommended the that Joe consider getting rid of the old sump and installing our super sump system. Daniel explained that our super sump is an effective and more economical solution.  It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. Joe agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman was able to place the new sump in a better location to make water collection easier. Once the job was completed, Joe was thrilled to know he no longer needed to worry about his sump pump! 

Kristy H. of Porter, MN wanted to get her rusty, old windows replaced with new, energy-efficient ones. She found American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to her house, inspected her pre-existing windows, and wrote out a bid for our EverLast Replacement Windows. Kristy was comfortable with Shane's presentation, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his crew broke out the old window and replaced it with our EverLast Replacement Windows, which are double-paneled, vinyl-framed, and energy-efficient. Kristy was confident in these windows and what they could do for her basement, so she went ahead with the project.

A homeowner in Alexandria, MN had water leaking into their basement, causing them to worry about water moisture, mold build-up, and damage to property. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully inspected their basement, and drew out a few possible solutions that would fit their needs and budget. The homeowner was confident in our products and their warranties, so they went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and their production team began the project by breaking out the concrete diagonally down the middle of the basement, forming a feed line. At the end of the feed line in the corner of the basement, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three layers of water protection, solves all three water problems in one unit, and comes with a battery back-up in case of power outage or failure. To complete the installation, our team filled the open gaps with pea gravel and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement was much neater than when they found it. The homeowner was satisfied with our work, and their peace of mind is now restored!
