Before & After Photos

A couple from Brainerd, MN got in contact with us when they began to notice cold floors on their main level, as well as higher than normal energy bills. They suspected their crawl space beneath the home to be the culprit but wanted to get a second opinion. When they called in, they used their FREE estimate to have one of our Design Specialists, Jesse, out to the property to assess the situation. Once Jesse had completed his walkthrough, he was able to make his recommendations as to how we could help. Jesse wanted to use our CleanSpace for crawl spaces vapor barrier to address the issue. He explained that the benefits of our CleanSpace included controlling mold and rot, saving money on utilities, sealing away odors, as well as keeping pests and inspects out of the space. He went on to say that the process of installing CleanSpace is minimal. The couple agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Raul, and his team wound up installing 995 sqft of our CleanSpace throughout the crawl space. Once the job was complete, the couple was happy to know that their home was more efficient than before! 

A homeowner in Brainerd, MN was concerned about his basement when he noticed some water damage in a corner of the utility room. Not sure what this meant for the basement, he wanted to get a professional's opinion on what should be done before trying to fix it himself. He went online to search "Minnesota basement waterproofing" and found a variety of results that came up. After shuffling through some of the options, he decided to go with American Waterworks because of our FREE no-obligation estimate service. One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, later went to the home to inspect the basement and see what should be done in terms of repairs. Shane determined that our WaterGuard basement system should be installed to move any incoming water away from the home and directing it safely to the sump pump. The homeowner was glad to hear this and agreed to the installation. Our Foreman, Jonathan Burnes, and his crew went to the site and carefully installed the WaterGuard system at the perimeter of the basement. Now the homeowner is confident in his waterproofed basement and glad to no longer have water damage.

A Brainerd, MN, homeowner was quickly losing her patience with her sump pump. The system was older and had a tough time keeping up with water flow in times of heavy intrusion. The homeowner knew she needed to upgrade her sump pump, and began looking for sump pump repair companies in Minnesota. When she found our website, she signed up for our FREE estimate, and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists was out at the home. 

After completing his comprehensive inspection, our Design Specialist was ready to make his recommendation. First, he recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier be installed in the problem corner of the room. He explained that this 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets applied directly to the wall and works to collect any water entering through cracks and holes in the space, directing it down and into a perimeter drain that our Design Specialist was recommended to be our WaterGuard. This french drain is placed below the floor of the basement but atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. It collects the water flowing down from the CleanSpace, as well as water entering through holes in the floor, giving it a channel to flow to a disposal site such as a sump pump or discharge line. Because the basement lacked a means of disposing of unwanted water, our Design Specialist recommended our SuperSump plus sump pump, an effective and economical solution to unwanted water. The homeowner agreed and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, RJ L, led his team through the successful installation of 29 ft of WaterGuard, 14ft of CleanSpace, and 1 SuperSump plus sump pump. Now, our customer can breathe a bit easier knowing that her new waterproofing system will be there during times of heavy rain! 

A homeowner in Champlin, MN, noticed several sections of their concrete driveway were overlapping one another. Wanting to solve the issue while the weather is pleasant, the homeowner began searching for a solution. During their search, the homeowner came across our 5-star reviews and wanted to give us a try. The homeowner visited our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were settled, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Kyle, to investigate the driveway.  following his investigation, Kyle determined the concrete slab was beginning to sink. Kyle recommended a solution that would solve the sinking concerns and repair the several cracks throughout the driveway. After considering all their options, the homeowner decided to go with Kyle's solution. Once the solution was approved, Kyle directed the solution to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew arrived at the home and began production right away.  First, the crew injected the PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution, underneath the back patio and concrete driveway. After the PolyLevel was installed, the crew shifted their focus to repairing the cracks and joints throughout the concrete. To fill these cracks, the crew utilized the NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks. Once the cracks and joints were repaired, the crew could clean up their site and leave the home. The homeowners were happy to know that their driveway was properly repaired. American Waterworks is happy to work with another lovely customer. 

A homeowner in Champlin, MN, noticed water stains on their cement basement floors. Wanting the issue resolved, the homeowner began looking for a solution. During their search, the homeowner saw our impressive reviews. The homeowner decided to sign up for our FREE estimate on our website and awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Jesse. When Jesse arrived at the home, he began his in-depth analysis of the basement. Jesse found that the edges of the home were where the water was seeping in. To stop the leaking, Jesse suggested that the basement be fully waterproofed. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Jesse's suggestions. Once they received the stamp of approval, the plans were directed to our Foreman, Crescencio, and his crew. When they arrived, Crescencio and his crew began by installing the WaterGuard in the northeast corner of the basement. After the WaterGuard was installed, the crew installed the SuperSump in the closet. Finally, the crew installed an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. After all the waterproofing products were installed, the crew cleaned up the materials and left the home. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their basement was properly waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to waterproof their customers' basements.
