Before & After Photos

Chris, from Andover, MN had concerns that his basement was not meeting its energy efficiency potential and wanted to see ways where he could improve the basement living space. He then proceeded to call our appointment center here at American Waterworks with this concern. We set up Chris with a FREE estimate entitling him to a thorough inspection by one of our Design Specialists. Once the appointment was set our Design Specialist, went to the property and did a complete walkthrough and saw that Chris might benefit from the EverLast windows that we offer here at American Waterworks. Our EverLast windows along with their designated window wells help make the basement more energy efficient and provides more natural light in the basement. Chris agreed and we proceeded with the installation process. Our production crew then began cleaning out the old and installing the new. Chris was happy to know that he will be saving more energy and have more sunlight entering his basement.

Allison H. in Saint Paul, MN had water leaking into her basement through a crack in the foundation. She requested an estimate from American Waterworks through HomeAdvisor, and we sent our Design Specialist, Jeremy Radtke, to her home to provide a FREE estimate. Jeremy recommended that Allison have our waterproofing system installed to keep her basement dry and comfortable. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our SuperSump sump pump in the corner and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to further protect the space from moisture and mold. Lastly, the crew filled back the gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Allison’s peace of mind has been restored, and she is happy she can enjoy a dry, healthy basement!

In Apple Valley, MN, a homeowner had noticed that her home was taking a long time to heat up and decided to look into the reasons why. She learned that one of the possible reasons is a moisture issue in the crawl space. She decided to look for crawl space encapsulation services in the area and came upon our website. She was pleased that we offer FREE estimates and decided to claim hers!

Our Design Specialist, Dustin L., arrived at the home on the scheduled date and inspected the crawl space. He explained to the homeowner that her crawl space is in pretty rough shape, and this could be the reason why it takes a long time for her home to heat up. He recommended having it encapsulated by installing our Drainage Matting, Terrablock, Foamax, CleanSpace, and Spray Foam. These products would be used to fully encapsulate the crawl space, reducing its moisture levels and eventually saving the customer up to 20% off their energy bills. The homeowner happily agreed to his suggestions and decided to move forward with his design.

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Francisco E., and his crew arrived at the home for the installations. They first installed 210 sqft of Drainage Matting on the floor, ensuring that water does not get trapped. 210 sqft of Terrablock is then placed on top, which prevents moisture from going up through the dirt. Then, 88 sqft of Foamax is placed on the walls of the crawl space, which will solve the humidity and dampness problems. Foamax is our polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel with a white foil finish on the front and a foil vapor barrier on the back. This will make the crawl space much warmer and brighten it. Then, 272 sqft of CleanSpace is placed over the flooring and the walls, which will take any water seepage from your walls and direct it to the drainage system. Lastly, the crew installed 44 sqft of Spray Foam to seal it off. Once the crew finished the installations, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer's crawl space will stay warm and dry all year long! Are you experiencing similar issues? Click HERE to claim your FREE estimate!

A homeowner in Apple Valley, MN, noticed water was pooling near the edges of their walls. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew this problem was larger than they could solve. The homeowner looked into "leaky basement repair near me," and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Next, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Brian. A few days later, Brian promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection. During his inspection, Brian confirmed that the basement was suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the issue from worsening, Brian recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. After hearing the suggestions, the homeowner agreed and worked with Brian to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Gabriel, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. Gabriel and his crew started by installing WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners with peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Eagan, MN was alarmed to find water damage in her basement space. She wanted to find a solution for it sooner than later, to prevent any more problems from happening. One of her neighbors had also dealt with water-related issues and American Waterworks was the company that helped them out. She decided to contact them as well for a FREE no-obligation estimate to see what they could do for her own situation. We sent over Design Specialist Adam Voigt to inspect the area, see what the root of the water damage was, and present recommendations. Adam informed the homeowner that the main issue was the current sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water that was entering through the foundation and would continue if left unattended to. He suggested to her that a SuperSump Plus pump system would be able to keep up with pumping the water that was entering. Our Foreman, Chris Newton, and his crew arrived at the site to carry out the installation of the SuperSump Plus system and a discharge line to carry the water from the inside pump to outside of the home. The homeowner was relieved to have a water-free basement again and grateful for our services.
