Before & After Photos

Douglas P. in Saint Paul, MN had a crack in his foundation where water was leaking in. Any time he experienced a heavy rain, water would start to pool in his basement with no where to go. He started looking for a waterproofing company, and he found American Waterworks on Home Advisor. He got in touch with us to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. While Chad was there, he noticed that the support beams in his basement had started to sag, which was causing the cracks in the foundation. Chad recommended that we install SmartJacks as well as our waterproofing system to ensure that his basement would permanently be a dry space. Douglas agreed, and he liked the proposal that Chad presented, so he decided to move forward with the installation.

Our production team installed the SmartJacks first to hold up the beams and provide permanent support. Then, they removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installed the WaterGuard drainage system and SuperSump sump pump. Lastly, they installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier to keep mold and moisture out of the basement. Water is now guided through the drainage system and led to the sump pump, where it is then discharged from the home. The combination of these foundation repair and waterproofing products have created a dry, clean, and stable basement for Douglas. Both our waterproofing and foundation repair products are backed by warranties, so Douglas can rest easy knowing he chose a reliable, long-term solution.

A homeowner in Maplewood, MN was worried about his basement when he went downstairs to the space and found some water damage to the floors in the utility room. He figured this wasn't a good sign and was determined to make a change sooner than later to prevent future issues from happening again.

A homeowner in Little Canada, MN, noticed their sump pump was not running properly. Instead of letting the issue worsen, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. The homeowner looked into "sump pump repair near me" and one of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. Since they were on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Kevin. Kevin promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the sump pump and crawl space. During the inspection, Kevin confirmed the sump pump needed to be replaced. Additionally, Kevin recommended encapsulating the entire crawl space. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Kevin's proposal. Next, Kevin passed the proposal to our Logsitics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logisitcs team scheduled the project for the following weeks, then it was assigned to our Foreman, Lane, and his crew. Once the project date arrived, Lane and his crew began by taking out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. Next, the crew laid Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Then, the crew installed CleanSpace on top. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the efficient and excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowner's peace of mind knowing they have one of the best sump pumps on the market. 

A homeowner in Maplewood, MN, had been thinking about installing an egress window for a while so that her family would have a means of escape in case of an emergency. She decided it was time to get started on the home project and began looking for services in the area. The homeowner found our website, and after browsing, was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule her FREE estimate. 
In a couple of weeks our Design Specialist, Brad W, arrived at the home to inspect the basement. The homeowner had informed Brad which window she would like the egress to be installed and Brad quickly worked on a design and solution for the homeowner. He explained that our RockWell window well duplicates the appearance of stone, providing a pleasing look both inside and outside of the home. Alongside this, our egress also has steps that can be used to easily leave the home and also allow more light to get into the basement. After the homeowner reviewed Brad's proposal, she decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Francisco E., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by digging out the soil outside of the window to ensure there was enough space where the RockWell would be placed. Then, the original window is removed and replaced it with a larger window to ensure that it remains up to code. After this, the RockWell is placed down and attached to the foundation. Lastly, the crew installs the safety cover to keep leaves and debris out. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind that her family has an escape route in case of any emergency. Are you experiencing something similar? Click HERE and schedule your FREE estimate today!

A homeowner in Shoreview, MN, noticed multiple issues with his basement, such as weeping walls, standing water and efflorescence, a white residue caused by salt deposits left behind from evaporated water leaks. Worried those issues would lead to permanent damage to his home, he decided to search for "basement waterproofing near me" and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., arrived at the home to assess the basement. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of a damp basement is a failed footing drain. When this becomes clogged and fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then enters through cracks in the wall, between the footing and the wall, or under the footing. During Daniel's inspection, he noticed that the current sump pump was out of date and kept it in mind when he designed a proposal for the homeowner. Daniel recommended our WaterGuard, a below-the-floor perimeter drain system that effectively collects water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away, CleanSpace, a vapor wall barrier that stops water vapor from permeating the walls, IceGuard, our discharge line system that will not freeze unlike traditional discharge lines, and Zoeller M53 pump that is capable of removing 2,220 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing Daniel's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Field Supervisor, Cole B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by attaching 74ft of the CleanSpace vapor wall barrier to the basement walls using drilled-in fasteners. Then, the crew installed 74ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and ensured it was connected to the sump pump system. They also installed 1 IceGuard before replacing the pump with our Zoeller M53. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
