Sump Pump Upgrade Saves Basement in Saint Paul, MN

A Saint Paul, MN, homeowner had been facing an issue with his sump pump for a while. Over the years, the system had started to display problems such as loud and unusual noises, cycling in times of no water intrusion, and not functioning when the basement needed it the most. He decided to find a sump pump repair company near Saint Paul, MN, and quickly found us and signed up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, headed out to the home. He completed his thorough inspection of the basement and then met with the homeowner to go over his findings. Ryan began by saying that while the outdated sump pump was not helping the basement, he found evidence of water intrusion in other areas, indicating that the problem was spreading, meaning a sump pump might not be enough to deal with excess water. Ryan first recommended our CleanSpace, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly to foundation walls to direct water downward into a perimeter drain. In this case, Ryan recommended the drain to be our WaterGuard system. WaterGuard is a below-floor French drain that acts as a channel, directing water entering it to the appropriate disposal site. When Ryan got to the sump, he recommended our SuperSump sump pump, an economical, yet effective system for removing water from a space. The homeowner was thrilled with Ryan's recommendations and scheduled the project for several weeks later.

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco E, and his team installed 27ft of WaterGuard, 13ft of CleanSpace, and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can enjoy a dry and healthy basement!

Damp Basement Addressed in Eagan, MN

An Eagan, MN, homeowner was growing more concerned about her basement bedroom. Each time it rained, the carpet of the room took on water, becoming overly saturated. The homeowner contacted a handyman, who referred him to us. He decided to set up his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Darin S, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

Darin completed his thorough inspection of the basement. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Darin recommended our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the slab of the concrete floor and atop the footing of the foundation. It works to collect water entering through holes or cracks in the floor, giving the water a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. One thing Darin had noticed was that the basement lacked a means of disposing of unwanted water. For this reason, Darin recommended our SuperSump sump pump. This pump keeps your basement dry using a float-operated and fully submersible pump. The homeowner agreed with Darin's recommendations and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Diego B, led his team through the flawless installation of 34ft of WaterGuard, and 1 SuperSump sump pump. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that her water intrusion issues have been handled! 

Leaking Basement Floor Waterproofed in Eagan, MN

In Eagan, MN, a homeowner had noticed water seeping into their basement. Concerned it would lead to mold growth and a flooded basement if left untreated, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofers in the area and found us. Impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Sales Manager, Shane N., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Shane tested the humidity levels in the home and took note of the areas where water leaks were present. He also noticed signs of the walls shifting. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Shane began working on a detailed solution. To waterproof the basement, Shane recommended installing WaterGuard, our interior drainage system, Zoeller sump pump, our reliable pump capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge system that allows water to escape in freezing temperatures to prevent sump burnout. To stabilize the foundation, he recommended installing CarbonArmor, our fiber strips that reinforce the foundation, halting further movement. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew was able to successfully install 16 CarbonArmor, 37ft of WaterGuard, 1 IceGuard, and 1 Zoeller pump.

Sump Pump Upgrade in Saint Paul, MN

Sam from Saint Paul, Mn was in hopes of renewing his basement systems to help provide his home with more security against water that could potentially harm the foundation of his home. The first step he took to protect his home was to upgrade his sump pump and insert a new drainage system. Sam immediately contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled his Free Estimate which entitled him to a full home inspection. Once scheduled, our Design Specialist then attended his home and began a thorough inspection of the property. Our Design Specialist then proposed to Sam that the best solution is to invest in our TripleSafe Sump Pump system along with our Waterguard Drainage system. Sam was comfortable with the proposal and went forward with the project by setting a date of installation. 

Once the date of installation arrived, our Foreman along with his Production team  attended to the property and began to jackhammer the concrete along the perimeter of the basement to insert the WaterGuard Drainage System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. This type of WaterGuard is most commonly used due to the resistance against water clogs and easy access ports to properly flush out the mud from the system. Once inserted the Production team then proceeded to remove the old sump pump system and replace it with a TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump has three levels of protection which helps solve all three water problems. Once the job was done the team then places a fresh layer of concrete over the project to provide a finishing look and secure the system to stay in place. 

Sam was satisfied with the project and had a great experience with the Production crew!
