Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Worthington, MN, noticed that her water and home were taking a while to heat up. Unsure of the reason, the homeowner began researching and learned it could possibly be due to a poorly insulated crawl space. After learning this information, the homeowner decided to look into crawl space repair and found us. The homeowner then contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Eric H., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Eric noticed that the moisture levels in the crawl space were higher than normal. He also explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of crawl space issues is a dirt floor. A dirt floor does not separate the home from the earth, which causes insects, pests, moisture, and mold to easily enter the home. That is why Eric recommended CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that prevents water from permeating through the floor and the walls, Drainage Matting, our extremely durable matting that creates drainage space and thermal break between CleanSpace and the ground, Foamax, our advanced polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel that brightens the crawl space while helping control the humidity, and Aprilaire Dehumidifier. The homeowner happily agreed to Eric's suggestions and scheduled the installation date. 

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Chris N., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 1336 sqft of CleanSpace, 1178 sqft of Drainage Matting, 296 sqft of Foamax, and 1 Aprilaire Dehumidifier. After they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Rogers, ND, became aware of several issues that began to arise in their basement and foundation. Knowing they had a massive job on their hands, the homeowner searched for a company that could handle it all. After seeing the extensive work we do, the homeowners felt American Waterworks was the best choice for them. The homeowners signed up for their FREE estimate and we sent our Design Specialist, Richie, to perform an extensive inspection of the entire basement and surrounding foundation. After completing his inspection, Richie determined the home needed many repairs. Richie explained that the home foundations needed to be stabilized, the concrete patio lifted and leveled, the basement waterproofed, and new basement windows installed. Although the list of repairs was overwhelming, the homeowners decided to go forward with Richie's recommendations. 

Before the crew's arrival, they were asked to remove all personal items and the front deck and move their HVAC unit. First, the crew lifted and leveled the concrete with the Polylevel. The crew started by permanently stabilizing the foundation and its walls with 13 Geo-Lock Anchors and 39 Push Piers. Next, the crew removed the old basement windows and replaced them with three Rockwell Egress Windows. Moving along, the crew waterproofed the basement by installing the WaterGuard, a feed line, and the SuperSump Plus. After completing all the installations, the crew cleaned up the job site and went on their way. The homeowners were pleased to save their family home and that it is safe for years to come. 

In 2015, Kathy from Balaton, MN contacted us because water was leaking through their basement walls, even in the winter. They had a sump pump already in place, but there was no drainage system, so the water was not reaching the sump pump and therefore could not be removed from the home. We sent one of our Design Specialists to her home to inspect her basement and develop the right solution for her specific challenges. She was happy with the solution we presented to her, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor and a TripleSafe sump pump in place of the old sump pump. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump system, which is backed by three layers of protection. They also installed our SaniDry dehumidifier in her basement to remove moisture and control the humidity in that space. Every year since the installation, Kathy has received an annual maintenance from our Service Department to ensure that her waterproofing system is working properly and efficiently. Kathy has been able to enjoy a dry, healthier basement since her installation in 2015.

Joy J. of Russell, MN had cracked foundation walls in her basement and one of her friends referred American Waterworks so she got on our list for a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to her home to inspect the walls and come up with a solution. Jeremy answered all of her questions so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production team started the installation by digging five holes outside of the home and inserting a medal rod in each hole from the exterior soil to the interior foundation. Next, they screwed on and tightened one of our GeoLock Wall Anchors on the ends of each rod to stabilize and straighten the wall back into it's normal position. To complete the installation, Jose and his crew backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Joy couldn't believe how quickly our crew completed the project!

Diane B. of Valley City, ND had water leakinHEREg in her basement, causing her to worry about her home repair needs. She got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to her home, examined the leaks, and drew out the solution of our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Diane was confident and got all of her questions answered, so she moved forward with the project, and signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. Inside the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which serves as an underground drain, collects water seepage from basement walls, and prevents mud and water clogs. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is made to prevent mold and mildew, give the basement a nice and clean appearance, and is flexible enough to cover any uneven surfaces or abnormal walls. To complete the installation, Ryan and his crew covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them to ensure the spae looked better than when they found it. Diane was thrilled with the work that was done!
