Before & After Photos

A Young America, MN, homeowner was down in his basement one day when he noticed a large crack running the length of his basement wall. He was concerned since he hadn't noticed the crack a week before, thinking that the wall might be failing faster than he realized. He decided to find a foundation repair contractor in his area. Through word of mouth recommendations, the homeowner quickly found American Waterworks and signed up for his FREE estimate.

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, was headed out to the home. When Ryan arrived he headed to the basement to get started. Upon completion, he met with the homeowner. Ryan began by saying that foundation walls are not designed to withstand pressure from the side, so when the pressure being put on the side of a wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Ryan went on to say that our GeoLock wall anchors could reverse the issue, as this innovative system counteracts the pressure being put on the wall by anchoring the failing wall to the hard-packed, undisturbed soil beyond the foundation of the home. The homeowner liked the sound of Ryan's plan and scheduled the work on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Chris N, and his team were in the basement installing the system. In the end, they installed 16 GeoLock anchors throughout the basement. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his foundation is secure!

Phil H. in Belle Plaine, MN noticed that his back patio was sloping downward towards his home. Water would pool in the corner of the patio any time it rained, and he was concerned it was going to cause bigger problems, so he started looking into concrete repair. After asking around, a few people recommended that he contact American Waterworks to get a FREE estimate for concrete repair. He gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Brian Ramirez, to his home to inspect his concrete and provide him with a solution. Phil was happy to learn that our PolyLevel concrete repair solution is more efficient and cost-effective than traditional concrete repair, so he chose to move forward with the project.

Our concrete repair expert, Jared Wroblewski, drilled small holes into the concrete slabs for the polymer foam to be injected. He injected into the foam until the slabs were raised back to their original position. Then, he filled back the holes with concrete and sealed the cracks in the concrete with our NexusPro sealant to protect it and give it a nice, finished look. The process only took a couple of hours, and now Phil can enjoy a beautiful, level patio for years to come!

Jes K. of Belle Plaine, MN had water leaking from her basement window, making her consider getting a new window replacement. One of her local contractors recommended American Waterworks for the repairs. She called our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to her home, inspected the window, and came up with a solution. Jes approved of the proposal and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew cut out the window and replaced it with our EverLast Basement Window, which is designed to replace any rotting, wood-framed windows. It also gives the room a very neat appearance. Jes was happy with the replacement and loved the transformation! 

Sandra and William S. of Waterville, MN had water leaking into their closet, making them nervous about water damage, especially to their personal belongings. One of their friends referred American Waterworks, so they called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to their home, inspected their water problems, and came up with the solution of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Sandra and William were confident in the product and its warranty, so they went ahead with the repairs and put down their deposit. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his team began the project by breaking out a hole in the concrete. In the hole, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which is the best sump pump that we provide for customers. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection, solves all three water problems in one system, and keeps basements dry for very long periods of time. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Sandra and William were happy with the repairs and had a great experience! 

A resident in Albert Lea, MN was experiencing water entering into his basement on one side of the home.  American Waterworks installed 55 feet of WaterGuard and the homeowner's basement has been dry ever since.
