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!

Basement Walls Gets Waterproofed in Maplewood, MN

A customer from Maplewood, MN, got in contact with us when he began to notice unwanted water on the floor of his basement. He was afraid that if he didn't take action and correct the issue, it would continue to damage his property, making any potential resale tough in the future. When he called in, our Appointment Center set him up with our FREE no-obligation estimate. Once the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist headed out to the property to do a thorough inspection of the issue. When he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make recommendations as to how we could best help the situation. He began by explaining to the homeowner that the water was intruding through a crack in the wall. He wanted to address the issue by installing our WaterGuard french drainage system. He wanted to pair this product with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that the CleanSpace vapor barrier is a tarp-like material that works to trap any water entering the property behind it, draining it down the plastic and into the WaterGuard drainage system that lies beneath the floor, catching the water driven downwards by the CleanSpace. The customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Lane, and his crew ended up installing a foot of WaterGuard and CleanSpace under and on top of the problem wall. When the work was completed our customer was happy to know he could go back to enjoying his basement, completely moisture free!
