Before & After Photos

Dawn N. in Garvin, MN contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on TV. She had water seeping into the basement, and she wanted to permanently fix the problem. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Reed Hudson, to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution for her home. After Reed’s inspection, he was able to recommend a combination of our waterproofing products. Dawn approved of the plan and moved forward with the project.  

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to create a trench. Then, they laid the WaterGuard in the trench and installed a SuperSump sump pump. They filled back the gaps with rock and then replaced the concrete around the sump pump and over the WaterGuard. Water now properly drains to the sump pump through the WaterGuard. The water is then expelled from the home through the discharge line. Dawn’s peace of mind has been restored, and she can now enjoy a dry, healthier basement for years to come!

Matt T. of Fulda, MN had water leaking throughout his basement, and he wanted to get it fixed up as soon as possible. He called American Waterworks to learn more about our basement waterproofing repair products. We set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to his home, examined his problems, and came up with a solution. Matt was confident in Eric's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete basement perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain that leads to outside and prevents water clogs. Next, our team installed our SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump, which is made to keep basements clean and dry for long periods. To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

Jen and Don T. of Fulda, MN had water leaking from their basement walls, causing them to worry about water damage and flooding hazards. They reached out to American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to their home, inspected their problems, and came up with a solution that worked for them. Jen and Don were confident in Dylan's proposal of our WaterGuard Drainage System, so they went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, which serves as an underground drain in connection with the sump pump, prevents water and mud clogs, and collects seeping water from basement walls. To complete the installation, Tremaine and his crew filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Jen and Don were happy with the project and had a great experience from start to finish! 

A homeowner from Dundee, MN, was at a home improvement store one day when he spotted an at-home radon gas testing kit. He didn't know much about the dangerous gas but decided to test his home nonetheless. He was surprised when the test came back with higher than normal levels. The homeowner was uneasy about his family breathing in the gas and decided to consult a specialist about the problem. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Kevin B, one of our Design Specialists, was headed to the home. 

Knowing the home had high radon levels, Kevin focused his inspection on finding a good space for a mitigation system, should the customer want to move forward. When he finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner. He explained that radon gas is a radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of soil around your home's foundation. It finds its way into your space through holes and cracks in the foundation, silently wreaking havoc on the lining of the lungs. Kevin went on to say that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking, claiming 21,000 lives annually. Kevin could tell the homeowner was growing uneasy, so he reassured him that while the situation was serious, American Waterworks could help. Kevin strongly urged the homeowner to address the problem with our radon mitigation system. He 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 went on to say that, when installed by an experienced professional, a mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon in the interior of the home to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was relieved to know that Kevin had a solution for his household. He needed a few weeks to think about the project but ended up calling Kevin to schedule an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Geno M, and his team arrived bright and early on the day of the project and got right to work. When they had finished installing the system, our homeowner was thrilled to know that his home was well on the way to circulating fresh air! 

A homeowner in Bellingham, MN was in his basement space when he noticed how much damage the floors had in one of the bedrooms. Upon closer look, the damage was only around the perimeter of the bedroom and hadn't spread too far into the rest of the room. The homeowner was eager to find a solution before the problem did get worse, so he started his research. Online he searched, "basement waterproofing companies in my area," which is how he found the American Waterworks website. He decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates to learn more about our work. Design Specialist Ryan Powell arrived at the home ready to carry out an inspection and offer his recommendations. He informed the homeowner that waterproofing the basement room would be the best plan and the homeowner agreed to the recommended installations. When our Foreman, Francisco Escamilla, and his crew went to the site they installed a Waterguard basement drainage system and a new SuperSump pump. Afterwards, the basement was water-free and clean once again. The homeowner was impressed with how efficient the crew was and thanked them for their hard work.
