Before & After Photos

Cara from Sargeant, MN noticed water coming into her basement at the base of the stairs. This was especially worrisome for Cara since she knew this could potentially damage her valuables. Cara contacted our Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled her FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick headed out to Cara's property and began a thorough inspection of the home to obtain a proper diagnosis of the home and prevent any other issues from arising. Rick proposed that the best solution to the issues she was experiencing was to invest in our WaterGuard and TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Cara agreed with the proposal and scheduled the date of installation. 

Our Foreman, Crescencio, and his production crew started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls.

Next up was our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home, the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. Once the job is done, the production team then places a new layer of concrete around the TripleSafe to provide a cleaner and more finished look.

To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. 

 Cara was happy with the work and had a great experience with our production crew! If you are experiencing a similar issue, please give us a call and claim your FREE estimate today!

A homeowner in Sargeant, MN, knew it was time to repair the water-damaged basement. Knowing they could not complete the repairs themselves, the homeowner began looking into "basement water damage near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so 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, Ryan. Once Ryan arrived, he began the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Ryan confirmed that the space was suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the issues from worsening, Ryan recommended waterproofing the entire space. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Ryan to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Lane, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Lane and his crew started by securing WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. American Waterworks is delighted to provide its homeowners with peace of mind, knowing their basements are properly secured. 

A homeowner in Elkton, MN, noticed their sump pump was running slower and making odd noises. Concerned about the status of their sump pump, the homeowner looked for a professional to assist them. Remembering they worked with us in the past, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Romeo, one of our Design Specialists. Romeo arrived and began inspecting their current sump pump. Romeo confirmed that the sump pump needed to be replaced, so he recommended installing the TripleSafe sump pump. After seeing the incredible benefits, the homeowner agreed with Romeo's recommendations. Our Foreman, Dakota, was assigned to complete the job. When Dakota arrived, he began by taking out the old sump pump. Once the old sump was removed, he put the TripleSafe in its place. Additionally, Dakota installed an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. After the IceGuard was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know they have a proper working sump pump. American Waterworks is happy to give their homeowners peace of mind. 

Colleen R. in Hayfield, MN was suffering from a wet basement. Her old system was not keeping up with the amount of water that was coming through her foundation, so she called American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists went to her home to inspect her basement and to develop a solution. She was pleased with the thorough plan that we proposed to her, so she chose to have our waterproofing system installed. 

Our production team started the waterproofing process by removing the concrete around the perimeter of her basement floor and installing our WaterGuard drainage system. The WaterGuard connects to the TripleSafe sump pump that they installed in the corner of the basement. The water that was leaking into her basement before is now guided through the drainage system, into the sump pump, and then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Colleen's basement has remained a dry, livable space and her peace of mind has been restored!

A Hayfield, MN,  homeowner was in the process of upgrading his basement when he had the idea to add a bedroom to the space. He was worried that this bedroom wouldn't be up to code because of the improper means of egress, so he decided to find a contractor who specialized in this area. He had previous work foundation work done by American Waterworks, and decided to give us a call for another FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialists were scheduled to stop at the home. 

When our Design Specialist arrived, he launched right into his inspection, meeting with the customer when he had finished. He informed the homeowner that he recommended our RockWell egress window well, explaining that RockWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust, and rot-proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. RockWell’s egress window wells feature durable, built-in steps that make it easy for your family to escape from your basement in the event of an emergency. We also offer safety ladders for our Premier series window wells. The homeowner liked the sound of our plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor S, and his team worked tirelessly to install the products. When they had finished, our customer was happy to know that American Waterworks had helped him restore his peace of mind in his home once again!
