Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN, had a growing issue of concrete slabs sinking in his walkway. Knowing it would only continue to worsen, the homeowner decided to tackle the issue immediately by contacting us and scheduling his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Brad W., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions the homeowner had, and provide the best solution. Brad explained to the homeowner that soil washout is one of the most common reasons for sinking concrete slabs. When it rains or floods, water moves through the ground and washes away supporting soils, causing the slabs to settle. For this reason, Brad recommended our PolyLevel, a waterproof foam expanding formula, to lift the concrete slabs, and NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant, to seal the steps. The homeowner happily agreed to Brad's recommendation and scheduled the installation date. 

In about a month, our crew arrived at the home to carry out the installation. PolyLevel is installed by first drilling small 3/8 inch holes into the slabs. Using an injection gun, PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, filling in the voids in the concrete. Once the slab has been lifted to the desired level, the crew seals the holes with cement. Lastly, they sealed the joints of the steps with NexusPro.

A homeowner in Plymouth, MN, noticed a musty smell coming from his basement. Concerned he might have a water issue, he decided to look into basement waterproofing services in MN and found us. After looking through our website and becoming impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Gary S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer questions, and create a proposal with the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Gary noticed some water stains along the joints of the wall and the footing. For this reason, he recommended installing WaterGuard, our drainage system that collects water at the perimeter of the basement and safely sends it to the sump pump, SuperSump+, our elite sump pump system capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in sub-zero temperatures. After reviewing Gary's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the installation date.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jeromy A., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 35ft of WaterGuard, 1 SuperSump+, and 1 IceGuard. After they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was dealing with a leaky basement. Each time it rained, it seemed as though water would pool on the floor and in the corners of the basement. In the interest of protecting his home, he decided to look for Minneapolis basement waterproofing and eventually found our website. He decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Mac C, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

Mac got right to work inspecting the basement to see what we could do. When he concluded, Mac met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Mac wanted to use our WaterGuard. This French drain is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. It works to collect water entering from holes or cracks in the basement floor, giving it a channel to the appropriate disposal site, a pre-placed sump pump. Installation involves removing a section of floor around the perimeter and creating a drainage trench. Sections of WaterGuard® are then placed within the trench, resting on a bed of drainage stone, and the floor is restored. The homeowner liked the sound of the work and decided to schedule the work for some time later. 

On the day of the project, Lane S, our Foreman, led his team through a flawless installation. Now, our customer can enjoy her home knowing that that her water intrusion issue has been handled! 

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN, had just learned about the dangers of radon gas on a household and was worried that her home could be infested with the gas so she decided to find a radon specialist in her area. When she found our website, she signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Dave S, was headed out to the home. 

When Dave arrived, the first portion of his inspection was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the basement of the home to adequately gauge the levels in the home over some time, delivering an average after a 48-hour timespan. Dave explained to the homeowner that the Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action with any levels higher than 4 pCi/L. Dave went on to say that, should the homeowner level return higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. A typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by a professional, this system will lower the concentration of radon gas in interior areas to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner agreed with Dave's recommendation but decided to wait until the levels returned to make a choice. 48 hours later, Dave was back at the home to read the results, which returned marginally higher than the recommended action levels, so Dave and the homeowner worked together to find the best day for an installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team effortlessly placed the system in the home, successfully restoring our customers peace of mind in the air circulating in her home! 

A homeowner in Minneapolis, MN became alarmed when he found an area of his basement carpet was wet. He inspected along the other walls of the basement and found similar issues, water leaking through and coming in at the base of the walls. Not wanting to wait any longer for the problems to worsen, he called American Waterworks and signed up for a FREE no-obligation estimate with one of our experts. We sent over Design Specialist Nick Skillman to the home to check out the basement and see what recommendations he could come up with. Nick assured the homeowner that something could be done to get rid of the current water problems and prevent future ones from happening. He explained that our WaterGuard system would be the best solution because it intercepts water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away safely. The homeowner agreed to the plans and the project began. Foreman Jeromy Anderson and his crew arrived at the site to carry out the installation of the WaterGuard and ensured everything was working properly before leaving. The homeowner was thrilled to be rid of the water issues and thankful for our work.
