Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Graceville, MN was tired of dealing with her worn down and old basement space. Over the years, the water damage had increased, and she decided it was finally time to stop the problem before something more serious happened to the home. She went online to find a solution and found the American Waterworks website where she scheduled a FREE no-obligation estimate with one of our experts. We sent over Design Specialist Kevin Beseman to the home where he inspected the basement space and talked with the homeowner about her expectations. The homeowner explained that she not only wanted the water intake to stop, but for the basement to look cleaner and not as dark or damp. Kevin assured her that he had the perfect solution to achieve both of her wants. The homeowner agreed to the plans and the installation day was scheduled. When our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his crew arrived at the site, they installed a new SuperSump Plus pump and our CleanSpace basement wall vapor barrier. With these new products, the basement was able to take the incoming water and direct it safely outside of the home. The homeowner was pleased with the water-free space and how bright the basement looked.

For this job, we headed out to Perham, MN, where we assisted a customer who was having issues with bowing wood and water in their crawl space. Our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property and was able to recommend solutions for both of the issues. To address the bowing wood, Richie suggested they have several SmartJacks installed under the main beam of the floorboard. Our SmartJacks have the option to be tightened over time, making it the ideal solution for homeowners who need a long-term fix. Richie suggested our CleanSpace waterproofing encapsulation be installed in the crawl space to keep it dry and energy-efficient. Another excellent project completed by Richie, our Foreman Cameron, and his team!

A customer from Perham, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his crawl space was causing issues with his home. When he called in, he noted that he was experiencing unwanted water in the space along with a sinking floor from the room above. He had concerns that if he left the issue unresolved, it would result in damage being done to the structure of the home which would cost more to fix down the road. We set him up with our FREE estimate and our Design Specialist, Richie N headed out to the property to assess the situation. Once Richie had completed his thorough walkthrough, he made several recommendations as to how we could help. First, Richie wanted to wrap the space in our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which is a tarp-like material that traps water and helps deposit it to the appropriate location. Second, Richie recommended our AprilAire dehumidifier, one of the most elite self-draining dehumidifiers on the market. Finally, Richie wanted to address the sagging floor by using our Support Jacks, which are adjustable supplemental support systems used specifically for sagging crawl spaces and can restore them to their original position. Our customer agreed with the suggestions and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew worked quickly to install 12 of our SmartJack support jacks and 1030 sqft of CleanSpace throughout the crawl space, and finished off the job by installing one of our Aprilaire dehumidifiers. Once completed, our customer was happy to know that he didn't need to worry about the structural integrity of his home any longer! 

Joe and Christina M. of Park Rapids, MN had water leaking through the foundation walls of their basement, making them feel nervous about flooding, water moisture, and health problems. They saw American Waterworks online so they called our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to their home to carefully inspect their problems and come up with a solution. Joe and Christina were confident in Chad's proposal and were happy with our products and their warranties, so they went ahead with the project and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain that connects to the sump pump. Our WaterGuard is one of the most common waterproofing products because of its easy-to-access service ports, its resistance to clogs, and its ability to collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System, which is similar to an extra wall protectant. Our CleanSpace is pliable enough to cover uneven surfaces and irregular walls, including areas with divots or rock. It also prevents any mold and humidity and provides the basement with a neat and clean appearance. Joe and Christina were amazed by the transformation, and had a great experience from start to finish! 

Homeowners in Park Rapids, MN had water leaking into their unfinished basement. They were unable to go about their renovations with this problem. They got in contact with our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with one of our Design Specialists. He went to their home, inspected their basement, and drew out a solution. The homeowners were confident in our proposal of our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, so they signed our contract. 

Our Foreman, Corey, and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is the most popular interior drainage system because of its easily accessible service ports, its ability to collect water seepage from basement walls, and its prevention from water clogs. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Our CleanSpace is designed to prevent mold and humidity from invading the basement, saves money on energy costs, and gives the basement a warm and bright appearance. To complete the installation, Corey and his crew filled the floor gaps with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete. The homeowners were satisfied and could not believe the transformation!
