Before & After Photos

Jacob and Laura of Pipestone, MN had concerns with their foundation wall and were nervous about the stability of their home. They had American Waterworks out to their home before, so they had our Service Technician, Kyle, out again to inspect the foundation failure. Jacob and Laura were confident in the solution of our PowerBraces, so they got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Raul A, and his crew installed five of our PowerBraces to repair and stabilize the failing foundation wall. Is your foundation cracking, bowing, deteriorating, or crumbling? We can help you! Give us a call or click here to schedule your FREE inspection.

Megan and Andrew E. of Carrington, ND had a deteriorating foundation wall and water was leaking through it into their basement. They called American Waterworks and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to their home, carefully inspected their problems, and came up with a solution that worked for them and their home repair needs. They were comfortable with Richie's proposal of our products and systems, so they went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is made to prevent mud and water clogs, serve as an underground drain, and collect water leakage from basement walls. Next, our production crew installed our SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump, which is designed to keep basements dry and works effectively with our WaterGuard. Lastly, our team applied our ShotLock Wall Restoration System around the basement wall perimeter, which is a spray-on solution that offers a fast alternative to demolishing and rebuilding a deteriorating foundation. To complete the installation, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Megan and Andrew were happy with the repairs and had a great experience from start to finish!

Patricia, a homeowner in Carrington, ND was experiencing water intrusion in her basement and searching for a way to solve the issue. She decided to claim her FREE inspection. Our Design Specialist, Kole, headed out to the property and completed his walkthrough; after making recommendations as to how American Waterworks could help, Patricia consulted with her son and decided to move forward with the project. Work began shortly after.

First, our Foreman and his crew added our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing. It is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. It works to trap water and sends it to an appropriate disposal site; our TripleSafe sump pump was used as an effective and economical sump solution. Next, the team installed Basement To Beautiful panels where the WaterGuard was installed. Even if you're not planning on finishing your basement, lacking proper insulation can still lead to cold floors and an inefficient home, and our Basement To Beautiful™ Basement Wall Panels are the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient basement. Finally, they installed our CleanSpace solution instead to encapsulate the basement to prevent moisture and mold from affecting the rest of the foundation.

The team finished cleaning everything up, and Patricia was thrilled and impressed with the project from start to finish!

A homeowner from Adrian, MN, was at his local home improvement store one day when he noticed an at-home radon gas testing kit. He didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas but knew that if levels in his home were high, he might need to take action. After conducting a test himself, he was floored when the results came back at 23 pCi/L. Panicked, he decided to find Minnesota radon specialists who could help. After finding our website, he was impressed with our radon mitigation pictures from other projects in his area and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Tony B, was headed out to the home. When Tony arrived, he got right to work inspecting the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner. He first commended him for calling in an expert, as radon gas is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it impossible to detect without proper testing. He went on to say that, the Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action for any levels higher than 4 pCi/L, and that because of the elevated levels in the home, he was recommending a radon mitigation system be installed. Tony explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. He finished by saying that, when installed by a licensed professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health agencies. The homeowner liked Tony's plan and scheduled the work for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota, and his team were able to seamlessly place the system within the home, successfully restoring the homeowner's faith in the air circulating his home!
