Before & After Photos

A couple in Morris, MN, gave us a call when they began to notice a crack forming in their foundation wall, causing pooling water to become a problem in their basement. When they called in, we set them up with our FREE estimate, and our Design Specialist, Shane, was out at the property in no time. When he arrived, he did a thorough inspection of the issue and made his recommendations as to how we could best fit the situation. He recommended that we use our GeoLock wall anchors to address the failing wall. He explained that these anchors are the ideal solution as they anchor the problem wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation, keeping the wall stabilized for a long time to come. These anchors can be tightened over time to fit the foundation's needs as it continues to settle. Next, he wanted to use our CleanSpace to address the water entering the basement. He explained to the couple that this barrier works to trap water behind the taro-like material and drain it downwards to our WaterGuard system that lies beneath the concrete floor and drains water to the appropriate place like a sump pump or external line. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Jeromy, ended up installing 17 of our GeoLock anchors and wrapped the entire basement in our CleanSpace solution. When the work was complete, the couple was happy with the work we had done and were relieved to know their foundation worries were in the past!

Jamie S. in Mountain Lake, MN had water leaking into her basement and her old sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water coming in. While looking for a local waterproofing company, she came across American Waterworks’ website and decided to contact us for a FREE estimate.

We sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to her home to inspect her basement and to develop a solution for her. Shane recommended that we install our drainage system under the concrete floor and a new sump pump to transform her basement into a permanently dry space. She agreed, and she liked Shane’s proposal, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed our WaterGuard drainage system along the two walls that had water seeping in. Then, they installed the SuperSump sump pump in the corner of the basement. The drainage system properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pumped through the discharge line to the outside of the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime guarantee, so Jamie feels confident that she chose the right waterproofing solution to protect her home for the long-term.

A homeowner in Oxbow, ND, knew it was time to fix their leaking basement wall. Hoping they could catch the issue early enough, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing options near Oxbow, ND. The homeowner asked a local Facebook group for any recommendations and several members recommended working with us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our website, the homeowner knew we were the best company for their project. As soon as they saw our high ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, James, to the home to take a closer look. James arrived and began his detailed walkthrough of the basement. During his walk-through, James found that one wall in particular was struggling the most. To stop the wall from leaking further, James proposed installing WaterGuard and a feedline to connect to the current sump system. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with these recommendations. Next, James passed the plans along to the office to approve the project. Once the project was built and scheduled, the plans were assigned to our crew. The crew traveled to the home and began the project. First, the crew ensured the basement was prepared for the installation. Next, the crew installed WaterGuard along the wall. Then, the crew shifted their focus to installing a feedline across the basement floor. As soon as all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a kind review. American Waterworks is delighted to assist its customers in repairing their leaky basement walls. 

John and Starla H. of Galesburg, ND had water leaking from their walls and had cracks throughout their concrete floor, causing them to feel nervous and unsafe about the living conditions in their home. They went on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks. After looking through the photo galleries of our basement waterproofing and foundation repair installations, they called our office line and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to their home, inspected their problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. John and Starla got all of their questions answered and were confident in Ian's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor with a jackhammer, removing all of the existing concrete. In replacement, our team laid down gravel, river rock, and sand. Next, our team installed our WaterGuard System around the floor perimeter. Our WaterGuard is an underground drainage system that connects to the sump pump, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Then, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and mildew, cover in holes or divots, and gives the room a neat and clean appearance. To complete the job, our team applied new concrete to the entire basement floor, leaving the basement looking much neater than they found it. John and Starla were very happy with the repairs!

Nathan from Arthur, ND, was beginning to notice interior signs of foundation failure in his basement, in the form of cracks running down his wall. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would run the risk of the issue worsening, compromising the structural integrity of the home. He decided to call our office and we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free inspection of the issue, and recommendation as to how we could help fix it. A few weeks later our Design Specialist headed out to the property to see what could be done. After his walkthrough, our Design Specialist recommended raising the foundation with the help of our Push Pier system. He explained that this system is made of steel and is driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to solve settlement problems. Push piers can be installed inside or outside your foundation walls and are not visible once the repair is complete. In many scenarios, push piers not only stop settlement but lift the foundation back to its original position, closing cracks and improving window and door operation. Nathan agreed with the recommendation and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Domenic, and his crew ended up installing 20+ push piers around the exterior of the home, connected to the foundation footing. Once the project was completed, Nathan was happy to know he no longer had to worry about his homes foundation!
