Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Nerstrand, MN, noticed their basement was leaking a significant amount of water. Worried this could lead to a more serious issue, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "basement flooding repair near me", and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our five-star ratings, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE, no obligation estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Eric. A few days later, Eric promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Eric confirmed the basement was suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the water intrusion from continuing, Eric suggested securing several waterproofing products in the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Eric to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Raul, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Raul and his crew began by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump with the TripleSafe sump pump. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. As soon as all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew.

Fred M. in Maple Grove, MN had water seeping into his crawl space which was causing a musty smell throughout his home and he was concerned about potential water damage and health implications. A friend recommended American Waterworks to help him waterproof his crawl space, so he gave us a call to get a free estimate. Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, went onsite and developed a thorough waterproofing plan to fit Fred's needs.

Foreman, Rene Hernandez, and his crew installed drainage matting, drain tiles, a SmartSump sump pump, CleanSpace and SilverGlo. The combination of these crawl space waterproofing products gave Fred the dry and clean crawl space that he wanted. He is now protected from any water seeping into is basement.

A homeowner from Maple Grove, MN, had been aware of her front concrete walkway slowly settling over the years. She feared that if she let the problem worsen, it might be more costly to fix down the road. She had no idea who to turn to for concrete repairs near Maple Grove, MN. She hopped on the internet and eventually found our website. She was impressed with our past work in the area, so she signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Gary, headed out to the home. 

Gary inspected the concrete, and when he finished his inspection, he informed the homeowner that we could address the sinking concrete with the help of our PolyLevel injection. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath concrete slabs. It slowly fills voids left by soil erosion and, in the process, lifts the concrete back to it's desired location. Gary went on to say that he recommended sealing off the concrete with our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied directly to the cracks and joints in the newly lifted concrete and acts as a barrier to keep unwanted moisture out. The homeowner agreed with Gary's recommendations and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dylon V, headed out to the home and was able to complete the lift and seal with no complications. Now, our customer can put her worries about her concrete behind her! 

A homeowner from Maple Grove, MN, was in the middle of a basement renovation when he ripped out some drywall, exposing severe wall failure underneath. The homeowner was immediately uneasy about what this could mean for the home's structural integrity. He was unsure how to repair the foundation crack and decided to find a basement specialist to assist him. After seeing our website, he signed up for a FREE estimate and several weeks later, Adam V, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

When Adam arrived, he headed right down into the basement to see the extent of the damage.  When he finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendation. Adam began by explaining that foundation walls are designed to withstand pressure from above, not from the side. So when the side pressure on a wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, sliding in at the bottom, bowing, and/or tilting inward at the top. Adam could tell the homeowner seemed uneasy, so he reassured him that while the problem seemed daunting, the solution was fairly simple. Adam recommended our GeoLock wall anchors. These anchors work to counteract the pressure being put on the wall by anchoring the failing wall to the hard-packed, undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, pulling the wall back into place. Adam finished by saying that, once installed, the anchors would be tightened down the road as the house continues to shift and settle. The homeowner was relieved that Adam could explain the problem, as well as a comprehensive solution, and decided to sign on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Matt Z, was able to lead his team through a flawless installation of 5 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can continue on with his basement renovation, knowing the foundation of his home is in tip-top shape! 

A Maple Grove, MN homeowner was worried about his crawl space. He had heard horror stories about damp crawl spaces growing mold, mildew, and other airborne allergens without homeowners knowing. Worried about the safety and health of his family, he decided to search for crawl space sealing specialists in the area, and quickly found American Waterworks. He was impressed with our product lineup, and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later our Design Specialist, Ryan, headed out to the home. Ryan wasted no time diving into the crawl space to assess it's health. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that his crawl space was showing signs of water intrusion, but the damage wasn't as bad as the homeowner feared. Ryan commended him for checking in with his crawl space, and explained to him that a few of our products could help with the water intrusion. First, Ryan explained he wanted to use a product called drainage matting. He explained that this dimpled matting gets laid down on the crawl space floor, giving the water flooding into the space a channel underneath a crawl space liner. The drainage matting directs water flooding the crawl space to a crawl space drain and sump system. Second, Ryan wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal off the space. Ryan informed the homeowner that CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that is perfect for crawl spaces. It's durable, washable, and anti-microbial. Ryan went on to say that this product would be installed on top of the drainage matting so further preventer water from getting into the space. The homeowner was happy with Ryan's explanation and recommendation, and the two scheduled an install date. 

Once the project had been completed, the homeowner was thrilled to know that his crawl space was no longer harming his home's health!
