Before & After Photos

Susan N. in Cambridge, MN had water leaking into her unfinished basement. She wanted to have her basement finished at some point, so she knew she needed to find a solution to her water problem. She discovered American Waterworks and was pleased to see that we have been waterproofing experts for almost 3 decades. She decided to contact us for a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home. She was pleased with his plan to restore her basement, so she scheduled the installation of our waterproofing system. 

Our production crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and lateral lines that lead to the TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump system that is backed by three layers of protection. The process took two days, but now Susan no longer has to be concerned about water seeping into her home and she can now finish her basement.

Karla A. of Cambridge, MN had water leaking through her window, causing her to worry about her home. She found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so she got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad. Chad went to Karla's home, inspected her pre-existing window, and proposed our SunHouse Window Well, which is the perfect product to replace old, rotted, and debris-filled window wells. Karla was confident in the product, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul B., and his crew dug out a small portion of the soil, took out the pre-existing window well, and replaced it with our SunHouse Window Well and its cover. Karla was happy with the job and her peace of mind was restored.

A Hamburg, MN, homeowner was growing frustrated over a corner of her basement that was taking on water. Not wanting the issue to worsen, she decided to begin the search for MN basement waterproofing companies. When she found our website, she decided to claim her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Eric H, headed out to the home. 

Once Eric finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to deliver his findings and recommendations. He explained to the homeowner that American Waterworks could fix the issue with the help of two of our products. First, Eric wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets applied directly to the wall, and works to catch water entering the space through cracks and holes in the wall. The CleanSpace slowly directs the water down the wall and into our WaterGuard. Eric wanted to use our WaterGuard to catch water entering from the walls, as this below-floor drain works to direct water to the proper disposal site. This drain sits below the floor, on top of the footing of the foundation, but out of the mud zone, where other drains tend to clog. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the work for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Kevin, and his team were able to install 59 ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace throughout the basement. Now, our customer is thrilled to know she no longer needs to worry about a damp basement! 

A homeowner from Arlington, MN got in contact with us when they learned of hazardous radon gas and wanted to have their home tested to make sure the air they were breathing was healthy. They searched for a company that deals with Radon and came across our website. They decided to take advantage of our FREE, no-obligation estimate into the issue. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kevin, headed out to the property to assess the situation. Part of Kevin's visit was leaving a Radon test kit in the basement of the home. Once the Radon test kit had sat in the basement long enough, the sample was sent in for evaluation. The numbers can back reading 12.7 pCi/L, which is extremely high. The EPA recommends taking action on any radon levels over 4 pCi/L. Kevin let the homeowners know that while the numbers were high, our Radon mitigation system would bring those numbers way down to inhabitable conditions. He went on to say that the mitigation system works to pull radon from the home, piping it upwards, and expelling it out through the top of the home, and out and away from the house. The homeowners agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Geno, and his team make quick work of the installation. Once the job was completed, the homeowner was thrilled to know that they could take a breath of relief with clean air.

Cheryl A. from Gaylord, MN had water leaking into her basement through her windows. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists went to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution to keep her basement dry. He recommended that we replace her old, leaky windows, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team removed the old windows and replaced them with our EverLast Basement Windows. EverLast basement windows are energy-efficient, vinyl-framed replacement windows. Designed with double-paned, low-E glass, they are much more energy efficient than the single-paned, steel-framed windows that are the industry standard. These windows will never rust, rot, decay or need paint. They can also be easily removed for cleaning and maintenance.
