Before & After Photos

Laura T. of Minneapolis, MN had extremely damp walls and damp cracks in her basement floor. Before it got out of control, she got in contact with our office staff and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist to come to her home and perform a diagnosis. Jared examined her floors and walls and discussed with Laura some of our basement waterproofing products. After a thorough meeting, Laura was confident in our Basement to Beautiful Wall Panels, which are 24% more energy efficient than regular foam material, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team installed 56 feet of our Basement to Beautiful Panels. These special panels provide a warm and protective blanket around the basement, and they prevent rot and mold growth. Laura was beautified by the transformation and had a memorable experience with our team from beginning to end!

A Minneapolis, MN, business owner was down in the basement of the property one evening after a heavy rain and was shocked to notice several small pools of water had entered the space. He was worried about what this could mean for his property, so he quickly began looking for a Minneapolis basement waterproofing company. When he found our website, he was impressed with other waterproofing projects we had completed. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Daniel R, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. 

Daniel got right to work assessing the basement. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that he was recommending two of our products, which he felt would benefit the space. First, Daniel recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that this 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly to the walls of the basement. It works to trap water entering through holes or cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into a perimeter, which, in this case, Daniel recommended to be our WaterGuard system. This unique French drain gets installed below the slab of the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain functions to collect water from the CleanSpace, as well as water coming up through holes or cracks in the floor, giving the water a channel to flow freely to a disposal site. Daniel did notice that the basement lacked a means of expelling water, so he recommended the installation of our TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is the most reliable pump in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for your basement and peace of mind. The homeowner was thrilled with Daniel's comprehensive plan and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our team arrived bright and early to complete the installation. Led by their Foreman, Kiko, our team installed 144 ft of WaterGuard, 90ft of CleanSpace, and 1 TripleSafe sump pump in the basement. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his property is properly protected! 

A homeowner from Minneapolis, MN, had just learned about the dangers of radon gas in a household. She didn't know much about Minneapolis radon companies, so she took to the internet. After searching for Minneapolis radon mitigation, she quickly found our website. She was impressed with our photo galleries of other radon systems we had installed in her area, so she signed up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo V, was headed out to the home. 

When Romeo arrived, his first order of business was placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test functions to capture radon levels within the home over a 48-hour timespan, delivering the average level of radon after the test. Romeo explained to the homeowner that, should the levels come back higher than 4 pCi/L, she should strongly consider a radon mitigation system. He explained that 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. He went on to say that, when installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner liked Romeo's comprehensive plan and decided to wait until her levels returned to make a choice. A few days later, Romeo returned to the home to collect the results, which returned well above the Environmental Protection Agency recommended level of 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner worked with Romeo to find a good installation date. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno, led his team through a seamless installation of the mitigation system. When they concluded, our customer was happy to know that she and her family would be breathing in clean air from now on!

Carol P. of Minneapolis, MN had water leaking into her basement. She found an American Waterworks advertisement in her local newspaper, so she called our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to her house, thoroughly inspected her basement problems, and proposed a solution that would work for her and her needs. Carol was confident in the proposal, so she signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman and his crew started the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system that collects water seepage from basement walls and has easily-accessible service ports when it comes time for annual maintenance. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which is a wall protectant that prevents water from seeping through the walls and saves money on energy costs. To complete the project, our crew filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete over them, ensuring the space was neater and cleaner than they found it.

A homeowner in Brooklyn Park, MN, was inspecting their basement when they noticed their crawl space was wet and musty. Knowing this could become a major issue, the homeowner began looking into "wet crawl space repair near me". One of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner took a closer look at our crawl space services. The homeowner was impressed with our eye-catching before and afters, so they knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Tony. A few weeks later, Tony arrived at the home and thoroughly inspected the crawl space. During the inspection, Tony found several areas that suffered from water intrusion. To prevent this issue from continuing, Tony recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the crawl space. Knowing this was their best action plan, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommendations. Next, Tony passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Once the plans were approved, our Logistics team scheduled and built the project for the following months. The following month, our Foreman, Jose, and his crew traveled to the home to start the installation. First, Jose and his crew began by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+, one of our premier sump pump systems. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew.
