Wet Basement Problems Resolved in Woodbury, MN

A homeowner in Woodbury, MN had been enjoying his basement space when he noticed a small puddle of water that had formed at the base of one of the walls. He grew concerned and didn't want the issue to get worse if he left it to be. He knew with all of the heavy rainfall they had been having recently, one of his friends had a similar problem in their basement. The homeowner gave them a call and discovered how they solved the problem: American Waterworks. He decided to check out our website and was eager to schedule an appointment when he noticed our FREE estimate offers. When we sent over Design Specialist Ryan Powell to talk to the homeowner and inspect the site, Ryan knew just what would solve the problem. He explained that using our WaterGuard system, which is specifically designed to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and send it away safely, could help the issue. The homeowner agreed to Ryan's plans and after they were approved, they were given to our Foreman, Lane Schlobohm, and his crew to carry out the installations.

Crawl Space Sealed in Woodbury, MN

A Woodbury, MN, homeowner had noticed a foul odor wafting through her home. She had no idea where the smell was coming from but was growing tired of it. She had suspicions that the odor was coming from the crawl space beneath the home but wasn't sure what to look for. She decided to find a contractor specializing in crawl space repairs in Minnesota. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Ryan P, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

Ryan began his estimate inspection by getting down into the crawl space and then inspecting the rest of the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Ryan urged the homeowner to consider installing our Foamax wall panels. Ryan explained that insulating your basement or crawl space walls with Foamax provides comfort and energy bill savings while making the walls look clean and bright. These advanced foam insulation panels reduce condensation for exceptional moisture protection. In addition to Foamax, Ryan recommended our CleanSpace and drainage matting. Ryan elaborated, saying that our CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly to the unfinished walls of the basement and works to keep water entering from the wall off of the basement floor. The drainage matting is a dimpled mat that goes down on the crawl space floor before the CleanSpace, giving the water a channel to flow freely out of the space. The homeowner was thrilled, and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Arturo M, and his team effortlessly installed 170 sqft of Foamax, 362 ft of CleanSpace, and 290 sqft of Drainage Matting. Now, our customer can enjoy her home free of odors from a damp crawl space!

Sump Pump Saves Basement in Saint Paul, MN

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, was growing frustrated with her basement. Each time it rained, she noticed that her basement was taking on water, specifically in the corners of the space. She no longer wanted to deal with the issue, so she began to look for a basement repair expert in St Paul, MN. When she found our website, she was impressed with our reviews and before and after image sets. She signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, Michel R, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

Michel got to work inspecting the basement. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendation. Michel believed that the issue in the basement was that water had no access to a disposal site, such as a sump pump or discharge line. For this reason, Michel recommended the installation of our SuperSump sump pump. He explained that this sump pump is not only effective but economical. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump boasts a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner agreed with Michel's recommendation and the project was scheduled for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Edgar M, and his team were able to swiftly install the SuperSump. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing her water intrusion issues have been handled!

Leaky Crawl Space Fixed in Woodbury, MN

A Woodbury, MN, homeowner was in the process of looking for someone to evaluate her crawl space. Over the years, she had noticed a foul smell originating from the space, leading her to believe that the crawl space could be humid or take on water, creating unhealthy air in the home. She took to the internet and searched for the 'best crawl space repair near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. After looking through other jobs we had completed in her area, she confidently signed up for her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Michel R, was headed out to the home. When Michel arrived, he got down to business and entered the space to complete his inspection. When he finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to go over his plan for the crawl space. He began by commending the homeowner for seeking help, explaining that the health of a crawl space is incredibly important to the overall health of the home. Michel explained that we have 3 products that could address the issue, our CleanSpace for crawl space, drainage matting, and our SmartDrain. Michel elaborated, saying that the CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the unfinished walls of the crawl space, functioning to direct water entering through the walls downward, and most importantly, keeping it off the basement floor. The drainage matting, a dimpled mat, goes down before the CleanSpace to give the water entering the space a channel to flow to a disposal site. The SmartDrain is an innovative product that alerts you to a leak with an audible alarm and drains the water away to a drywell under the CleanSpace liner to protect against water damage. The homeowner, impressed with Michel's comprehensive assessment, signed on the spot. 

A month or so later, the job was well underway. Led by our Foreman, Diego B, our team successfully installed 574 sqft of CleanSpace, 456 sqft of drainage matting, and 1 SmartDrain. Now, our homeowner can go back to worrying about more important matters, all the while being confident in her homes healthy crawl space!
