Before & After Photos

Jeremy K. of Starbuck, MN had water leaking into his basement, causing him to worry about water moisture and damage to his personal property. He got in contact with our office staff at American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew. Shane went to his home, inspected his problems, and drew up a well-designed solution. Jeremy was confident in Shane's proposal of our WaterGuard Drainage System, so he signed the contract and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is an underground drain that prevents water and mud clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and works efficiently with the sump pump. To complete the work, Tremaine and his team filled the open gaps with rock and pea gravel and applied new concrete over it. Jeremy was ecstatic with the outcome of the project and had a positive experience!

Greg and Diane F. of Sleepy Eye, MN had water in their basement. They saw an American Waterworks commercial on television, so they got in contact with our company and scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Dylan, went to their home, inspected their wet basement, and proposed a solution that would fit their needs and budget. Greg and Diane were confident in Dylan's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain around the entire floor perimeter, which is an interior drainage system that collects water leakage from basement walls and prevents mud clogs. Next, our team installed our Foamax Wall Panels around the wall perimeter, which is a foam insulation that prevents mold and moisture, saves money on energy costs, and brightens the basement. Greg and Diane were happy with the project and had a great experience.

A Sleepy Eye, MN, homeowner was struggling with a damp basement after heavy rainfall. Not wanting the issue to worsen, he decided to begin the search for a basement waterproofing company in Minnesota. Once he found our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dylan W, headed out to the home. 

After Dylan arrived, he got right to work assessing the basement and trying to find the source of the leaking. Once Dylan completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Dylan explained that the water was entering the home through cracks in the floor, and therefore, he wanted to address the situation with several of our products: WaterGuard, TripleSafe Sump Pump, and our AprilAire dehumidifier. Dylan elaborated, explaining that these products would work closely together to keep the basement dry. Any water entering the basement through the floor would immediately be caught by the WaterGuard, an award-winning below-floor drain that lays on top of the footing of the foundation to catch unwanted water, directing it to the appropriate disposal site, which would be the TripleSafe. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump, boasting three levels of protection for your basement. The TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. Finally, Dylan said that even basements with effective waterproofing solutions can develop moisture problems. For this reason, he recommended the use of our AprilAire E100 dehumidifier. This powerful machine creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% relative humidity. The homeowner liked the sound of the approach and scheduled the job to be completed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Lane, and his team ended up installing 136 ft of our WaterGuard around the perimeter of the space, along with 1 TripleSafe sump pump, and 1 AprilAire E100. Now our customer can enjoy his basement without worrying about water intrusion! 

In Rothsay, MN, a homeowner noticed a musty smell coming from their crawl space. After noticing it was mold, the homeowner began looking into crawl space encapsulation services in the area and contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ian S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, he took a close look at the crawl space, determined the humidity levels, and worked closely with the homeowner to create a custom solution. To stop further mold growth and decrease the humidity levels in the crawl space, Ian recommended installing Drainage Matting, which would rest on top of the ground and is meant to direct any water in the crawl space to the drain system, and CleanSpace, our vapor liner that prevents water vapor from permeating the ground. After looking over the proposal and having confidence in our team, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Franklin O., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 135 sqft of Drainage Matting and 150 sqft of CleanSpace.

A homeowner in Hillsboro, ND had water leaking from their basement walls, causing them to have water moisture problems and wet floors. They did some research online and came across American Waterworks and our service area. They called our office line to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to their home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. The homeowner was confident in Chad's design, so they scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete perimeter, forming a trench. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System where the water was leaking. Our CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that prevents mold and humidity and serves as an extra wall protectant. Then, our team installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which serves as an underground drain and collects water seepage from basement walls. In connection with the WaterGuard, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our TripleSafe solves all three water problems in one system and is the best sump pump that we provide for customers. To complete the project, Jesus and his crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. The homeowner was ecstatic with the work and had a remarkable experience from start to finish!
