Before & After Photos

Zachary M. of Warren, MN had water leaking through the floor of his basement, causing him to worry about his home. Our office staff got in contact with him and set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Ian proposed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain, collects water from basement walls, and prevents water clogs. Zachary was comfortable with the proposal, so he went ahead with the solution. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his crew broke out the concrete floor forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard. After that, they covered the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete. Zachary was happy with the results!

A homeowner in Cakota, MN, noticed their sump pump was beginning to slow down. Knowing this could lead to larger issues, the homeowner wanted to have the problem resolved. Overwhelmed by all of the sump pump options, the homeowner sought a professional's opinion. During their search, the homeowner came across our website and found that offer a variety of sump pumps. The homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan, to the home. Once Ryan arrived at the home, he began by inspecting the entire basement. Following his evaluation, Ryan confirmed the homeowner's suspicions, the sump pump was on its last leg. Ryan suggested a new sump pump be installed and a new feed line be dug in the basement. The homeowner agreed and the production preparations began. Our Foreman, Francisco and his crew were assigned to complete the project. First, the crew began by taking out the old sump pump. Once the old sump pump was removed, the crew could dig a feedline from the center of the basement to where the new sump pump will be placed. Next, the crew installed the SuperSump + and attached the IceGuard on the outside discharge lines. The crew completed the projects without any issues. The homeowners were grateful for the excellent job completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist another customer with their sump pump issues. 

Jerome B. of Cold Spring, MN had cracks in his foundation, and water was leaking into his basement, causing him to worry about potential water damage in his basement. He got in contact with American Waterworks and finding us on HomeAdvisor. He called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to Jerome's home, inspected his basement, and determined the solution of our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, and our Aprilaire Dehumidifier. Jerome was confident in all of our products and their warranties, so he got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Lane, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which prevents water clogs and serves as an underground drain. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier, which prevents mold and humidity, and gives the basement a neat, clean appearance. Then, our crew installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System and our Aprilaire Dehumidifier. Our TripleSafe is the most efficient sump pump system that we have because of its triple layers of protection, and its ability to solve all three water problems in one unit. Our Aprilaire Dehumidifier creates healthy air and reduces the number of viruses in the air. To complete the installation, Lane and his team filled the open gaps in the floor with river rock and pea gravel and applied a new layer of concrete, ensuring the basement water neater and cleaner than when they found it. Jerome had a good experience with our team and was grateful we were able to help him!

Thomas, a homeowner in Burtrum, MN, was having trouble with water in his basement. He wanted to figure out how to solve the problem thoroughly and effectively, so he called American Waterworks to claim his FREE estimate. 

One of our Design Specialists, Shane, went to the property, did a complete evaluation, and gave Thomas his recommendations. Thomas answered all his questions and gave our team the go-ahead to get started.

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his production crew started in on three main goals. First, the installation of our WaterGuard System began with breaking out the concrete floor perimeter and forming a trench. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. Second, they installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience.

Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home. The battery keeps the pumps draining any excess water build-up. To complete the WaterGuard project, Kiko and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. 

The team then proceeded to install the CleanSpace Wall System around the perimeter of the basement. This prevents humidity from invading the walls and gives the basement a clean and bright appearance, with a 25-year warranty. Our CleanSpace Wall System is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners, so it never falls. 

Thomas was delighted with the outcome and glad he decided to work with American Waterworks.
