Before & After Photos

Ann H. in Lyle, MN was suffering from a wet basement. She started looking for a local waterproofing company and she found American Waterworks’ website. After reading about our waterproofing services, she contacted us to receive a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, went to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. Mac worked closely with Ann to design a personalized plan that was the best fit for her and her home. She was pleased with the proposal that Mac presented to her, so she set a date to have our waterproofing system installed.

Our production team started the process by removing the carpet and the concrete for the WaterGuard drainage system and sump pump to be installed. The WaterGuard was laid on the perimeter of her basement and the sump pump was installed in the corner. The drainage system now properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line to be expelled from the home. Ann now has peace of mind that her basement will be a dry, clean space for years to come. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Ann is confident that she chose the right solution to protect her basement.

A Lyle, MN, homeowner was facing an issue with his basement. His old sump pump had been cycling for days, even though there had been no rain in the last few months. Exhausted of hearing the system working overtime, he began to look for sump pump repairs near him. When he found American Waterworks, he figured signing up for one of our FREE estimates couldn't do any harm. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to the home. 

Once he completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to inform him that we could address the issue using our TripleSafe sump pump. Our Design Specialist explained that the TripleSump is the most reliable pump in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe boasts a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over.  Our Design Specialist also recommended the addition of our Ultra Sump back-up system, which can pump out an excess of 11,500 gallons of water on a fully charged battery, which is enough water to fill a small swimming pool. The homeowner agreed to the work and scheduled the project for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Lane, led his team through the installation without issues. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his sump pump will take care of his basement.

Richard R. in Floyd, IA had water leaking into his basement. He started searching for waterproofing contractors and he found the American Waterworks website. He was glad to see that we are waterproofing experts, so he contacted us for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mike Radosevich, went to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. Mike developed a waterproofing plan that best fit Richard’s needs, so Richard scheduled the installation.

Our production team started the installation process by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor. They laid a partial perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system around the basement floor. Then, they installed our SuperSump sump pump and filled the void around the sump pump and WaterGuard with rock. Lastly, they replaced the concrete over the WaterGuard and around the sump pump. The drainage system now properly drains water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pushed through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Richard can rest easy knowing that water will no longer be in his basement. He is glad he chose to invest in protecting his home for years to come.

A homeowner in Clear Lake, MN, decided to take a look at their crawl space and noticed it was in rough shape. Instead of ignoring the issue, the homeowner wanted to take action and have it repaired. Through the grapevine, the homeowner heard that American Waterworks is known for their excellent work. Curious, the homeowner visited our website and noticed we do have crawl space services. The homeowner decided to give us a chance and signed up for their FREE estimate.  Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Shane. Once Shane arrived, he introduced himself to the homeowner and began the crawl space inspection. Shane discovered that the foundation was failing and needed to be permanently stabilized. Additionally, he found that the crawl space should be encapsulated. Shane told the homeowner of his findings and also provided them with a solution to revive the crawl space. The homeowner agreed with the plan of action and production commenced. Our Foreman Raul, and his crew traveled to the home and started by making sure the crawl space was ready for the PowerBrace installation. The crew installed eighteen PowerBraces around the entire crawl space perimeter. Once the PowerBraces were installed, the crew laid the Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Next, the crew installed CleanSpace on the crawl floor to cover the Drainage Matting. Foamax is installed on the crawl space walls to ensure the crawl space stays insulated. Finally, the crew put the TripleSafe sump pump in place in the corner of the crawl space. The homeowner was amazed by the crawl space transformation. American Waterworks is happy to encapsulate another crawl space.
