Failed Sump Pump Replaced in Delano, MN

A Town Home association in Delano, MN had a situation where water was leaking into the basement of a tenant’s Town House. They reassured that tenant that they would resolve the situation as quickly as possible, so they contacted American Waterworks to waterproof the basement.

When our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, entered the basement to provide them with a FREE estimate, he discovered that their old sump pump had failed and that had caused the wet basement. Chad developed a thorough waterproofing plan that was the most beneficial for the townhome association as well as the tenant living there.

Our production team installed our Iron Oaker drainage system and a SuperSump sump pump. The drainage system properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and out of the townhome. The installation process took two days, but since our waterproofing system is guaranteed for a lifetime, the townhome association can rest easy knowing they chose the right long-term solution.

TripleSafe Sump Pump Restoration in Delano, MN

Jim M from Delano, MN noticed that his sump pump system was not draining the water efficiently causing constant water build-up. This was worrisome for Jim since he had appliances near the sump pump system that potentially damage his valuables. Jim got in contact with our Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled his FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Kyle H. Kyle headed out to Jim's property and began a thorough inspection of the home to obtain a proper diagnosis of the home and prevent any other issues from arising. Kyle proposed to Jim that the best solution to the issues he is experiencing is to invest in our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Our 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, then the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. 

Jim agreed with the proposal and scheduled the date of installation. Our Foreman and his team then arrived at the property and began the process by tearing out the pre-existing sump pump, the team then inserts a new sump basket that helps provide not only a cleaner look but protects the pumps from being damaged by soil. Once the new sump basket is installed the TripleSafe Sump Pumps are then installed and ready to go. Once the job is done the production team then places a new layer of concrete around the TripleSafe to provide a cleaner and more finishing look. Jim was happy with the work and had a great experience with our production crew!

TripleSafe Installed in Delano, MN

A homeowner in Delano, MN, noticed their sump pump was beginning to make odd sounds. Concerned by this noise, the homeowner knew they needed a professional to inspect the sump pump. The homeowners were unsure who they should reach out to, so they began researching on the internet. One of the first companies to populate was us, American Waterworks. Impressed by our list of services and high reviews, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Dylan. Once Dylan arrived, he began his evaluation of the sump pump and basement. Following his inspection, Dylan determined that the sump pump needed to be replaced. Dylan recommended that the TripleSafe sump pump be installed, and the homeowners agreed. Dylan sent the drawn-up plans to the assigned crew and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Gustavo, and his crew arrived at the home. First, the crew removed the old sump pump from the home. Once the old sump pump was removed, the crew put the TripleSafe sump pump into place. Then, the crew dug a buried discharge line outside the home. Finally, the crew installed an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. The crew wrapped up production and cleaned up their job site. The homeowners were relieved to know that they have a brand new, secure sump pump in their home. American Waterworks is happy to provide another customer peace of mind. 

Wet Basement in Rudd, IA Gets Waterproofed

Bill B. in Rudd, IA noticed that the north side of his basement was taking on water during heavy rains. Bill had tried numerous quick fixes, but nothing he tried was a permanent solution. He decided to call the waterproofing experts at American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, to his home to inspect his basement and provide him with the best long-term solution. Bill was pleased with Mac’s thorough plan, so he scheduled the installation of our waterproofing system.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system. They removed a section of the concrete floor around the perimeter and created a drainage trench. The WaterGuard is then placed within the trench and filled back with rock to fill the gaps. This keeps the drainage system out of the “mud zone”, where drains can clog. Then, they installed a SuperSump sump pump system which is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The water now properly flows through the drainage system and is then discharged from the home through the sump pump. Bill is now enjoying a dry, healthier basement!
