Before & After Photos

A resident of Rochester, MN, was looking into buying a property with an older sump pump already installed. Through his experience with the home, the system had never functioned, and he worried that when the rain returned, his basement would fall victim to unwanted water. Being a Rochester native, he knew that American Waterworks was the premier choice for basement waterproofing in Minnesota, so he called to set up his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the home to see the outdated sump pump. After he concluded his estimate appointment, he met with the homeowner. He informed him that his suspicions were correct and that the sump pump would need replacement. Ryan wanted to give our customer the best shot as dry basement success, so he recommended our TripleSafe sump pump, the most reliable sump pump in our lineup. Ryan explained that the TripleSafe boasts three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For times of heavy water intrusion, or in case of primary pump failure, a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 horsepower pump set a bit higher in the liner will take over. The homeowner was thrilled with the recommendation and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Diego B, and his team flawlessly installed 1 of our TripleSafe sump pumps in the basement of the home. Now, our customers can enjoy all the perks of a new home with none of the headaches that come with a damp basement!

A homeowner in Rochester, MN, noticed that his driveway and walkway had begun settling, causing the areas to become uneven and bumpy. Knowing the issue would only worsen, the homeowner began searching for concrete lifting contractors in Rochester, MN, and found us. After looking over our website and becoming impressed by our PolyLevel, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Mitch S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Mitch took note of the problem areas and explained to the homeowner that we have just the right solution for his concrete issues. Mitch recommended PolyLevel, our elite foam formula that expands and accurately lifts sinking slabs, and NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant that is specifically engineered to repair cracks and seal joints. The homeowner happily agreed to Mitch's recommendations, and his design was sent to our Foreman.

In about a week, our Foreman, Dylon V., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by drilling small holes into the slabs and injecting PolyLevel. As PolyLevel expands, it fills the voids in the concrete, causing the slab to lift. Once it has been lifted to the desired level, the crew seals the holes. Lastly, they used NexusPro to seal the joints along the walkway and driveway.

A homeowner in Rochester, MN, noticed their basement was suffering from water intrusion. Concerned that this could turn into a serious problem, the homeowner knew they needed an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "Rochester waterproofing," and one of the first waterproofing companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our ratings, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and awaited the arrival of our Sales Manager, Peter. Peter promptly arrived at the home and started the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Peter found several areas that were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent this issue from worsening, Peter recommended waterproofing the entire basement. The homeowner agreed, and they set a date for the project. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew began the inspection. First, they installed WaterGuard along the basement perimter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted to provide its homeowners with the proper waterproofing solution. 

An American Waterworks Service Technician, Glenn T, was performing an annual maintenance appointment on a Rochester, MN, home. The homeowner expressed to Glenn that she had concerns about the humidity in her crawl space. Glenn went to take a look at the space and measured the humidity of the space at 70%, the ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth, along with an increase in indoor airborne allergens, all of which could lead to severe health side effects. After Glenn was done with his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver her findings. 

Glenn explained why such a high humidity level should be dealt with, and elaborated on his recommendations. Glenn wanted to use several of our products to bring the humidity level down. First, Glenn recommended our CleanSpace and drainage matting. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp that gets applied directly to the walls of the crawl space and works to direct water entering through holes or cracks in the wall. The raised dimples on our CleanSpace® Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner. This directs the water flooding the crawl space to the SmartPipe crawl space drain, Tony's third product recommendation. The SmartPipe's custom design includes holes on the top and front to accept water from the soil and surface of your crawl space. A special wall flange collects water from the crawl space walls and the footing/wall joint. Finally, Tony wanted to install our AprilAire dehumidifier. Even a basement with an effective waterproofing system can still develop moisture and mold problems and may feel damp. Concrete walls and floors continually absorb moisture from the soil and release it into the air in your basement, and store-bought dehumidifiers simply aren't strong enough to solve the problem. Adding an Aprilaire dehumidifier creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days' time when set to 50% RH. The homeowner agreed and work was scheduled for a few weeks later.

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jesus C, and his team ended up installing 496 ft of CleanSpace, 414 sqft of Drainage Matting, 1 AprilAire, and 1 SmartPipe. Now our customer can rest easy knowing her humid crawl space is healthy once more!

A homeowner from Rochester, MN, had just learned about the dangerous health risks that radon gas poses to a household. He knew he didn't want his family to be silently breathing in these toxic fumes, so he began to look for a radon mitigation specialist in his area. He had heard through a friend that American Waterworks offered radon mitigation in Rochester, MN. He decided to check out our website and he was impressed with the before and after images of other radon systems we had installed during our time in the industry. He decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, was headed out to the home. 

When Brad arrived, he began the inspection by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. The goal of this test is to measure radon levels over a 48-hour time frame and then report the average levels of radon in the home. After Brad placed the test and inspected the rest of the home, he met with the homeowner. He began by saying that the homeowner had done the right thing by getting in contact with us. Brad explained that even if the radon levels were not dangerous, there is nothing wrong with having your home regularly tested for radon gas, as levels can change over time. He went on to say that the tricky thing about radon is that it's invisible, odorless, tasteless, and completely undetectable without proper testing. He said that if the radon levels came back above 4 pCi/L, then he would recommend the installation of one of our Radon mitigation systems, stating 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. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies.The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan but decided to wait to see what the results were. Several weeks later, the results returned with higher than normal levels. The homeowner called Brad and scheduled the project. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota, led his team through a flawless installation. Now, our customer has confidence that his home is healthy!
