Before & After Photos

Following a series of heavy thunderstorms, a homeowner in St.Paul, MN, noticed their basement was suffering from water intrusion. Worried this could lead to serious issues, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. After looking into "who to call for a basement leak", the homeowner's attention was caught by us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our near 5-star rating, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company to complete their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent our Design Specialist, Dustin, to the home to take a closer look. Once Dustin arrived, he began the detailed walk-through. Once the inspection was complete, Dustin recommended waterproofing the entire basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommended plans. Next, Dustin and the homeonwer worked together to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, Lane and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Lane and his crew started by securing WaterGuard around the basement perimter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Finally, the crew wrapped up by attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished walls. The homeowner was delighted to know their basement was properly secured. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners with peace of mind. 

Joanne S. of Saint Paul, MN had a settled sidewalk leading to her front porch. One of her peers referred American Waterworks and our concrete services. Our Design Specialist, Ben Allrich, proposed the solution of our PolyLevel, which is a special foam that fills the voids underneath the concrete caused by soil erosion and it stabilizes the concrete surface. Joanne was confident in the product, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Dylon Mish, and his crew member injected 32 pounds of our PolyLevel to lift the sidewalk. Joanne was able to walk on her concrete within 15 minutes after project completion and she was amazed by how quickly the project took!

A homeowner in North Oaks, MN, noticed multiple issues in her basement, such as high moisture levels, damp walls, and standing water, and was concerned that it would lead to permanent damage to her home. The homeowner remembered that her neighbor had recently gotten their basement waterproofed, so she decided to ask them what company they went through, and she learned about American Waterworks. After browsing our website, she decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Darin S., arrived at the home to conduct a proper inspection of the basement. He informed the homeowner of the issues he noticed, such as a failing sump pump and a likely failed footing drain. Darin then created a proposal for the homeowner where he suggested installing our WaterGuard, CleanSpace wall system, Shipshape monitor, and our Zoeller M98 pump, which is capable of removing 3,900 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing Darin's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In two months, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing 45ft of our CleanSpace vapor wall system by attaching them to the walls using drilled-in fasteners. Then, the crew installed 113ft of WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and ensured it was connected to the sump pump. The crew also replaced the pump with our Zoeller M98 before installing our Shipshape, which would monitor the system. Lastly, the crew restored the flooring by pouring concrete. Once everything was installed the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind knowing her basement will remain dry all year long! Are you noticing standing water, damp walls or high moisture levels in your basement? Don't wait and click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate today!

Ben W. in Saint Paul, MN had a dirt crawl space. He was interested in having a vapor barrier installed to save costs on his energy, because he knew that he was losing heat through that space. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, went onsite to inspect his crawl space and propose a solution. Ben approved of the plan and moved forward with the installation date. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier and our spray foam rim joist insulation. The combination of these crawl space encapsulation products made Ben’s crawl space a dry, clean, and energy efficient space.

A Saint Paul, MN, homeowner got in contact when she suspected her basement of taking on water. Our Design Specialist, Ryan K, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After Ryan finished his thorough inspection, he was ready to make his recommendations. First, Ryan wanted to use our Basement to Beautiful wall panels. These panels are the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient basement. Designed with the unique, advanced SilverGlo™ graphite-infused foam insulation, this insulation provides 24% more energy savings than conventional foam products. At 2 ½" thick and R-13 insulation, Basement To Beautiful™ panels create a warm, protective blanket around your basement that will never rot or support mold growth. Next, Ryan recommended our WaterGuard drain. This unique french drain is installed below the slab of the floor, but atop the footing of the foundation. Using this placement helps keep this drain out of the 'mud zone' where other drains of its nature tend to clog. It works to catch water coming up through the floor, giving it a channel to flow freely to the appropriate disposal site. In this case, the basement lacked a means of disposal, so Ryan recommended our TripleSafe sump pump. This pump is the most reliable in our lineup, providing three levels of protection for both your peace of mind and your basement. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller® ½ hp pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, Jesus C, one of our Foreman, led his team through the flawless installation of 130ft of WaterGuard, 127 linear ft of Basement to Beautiful, and 2 TripleSafe sump pump. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that her basement water troubles have been handled!
