Before & After Photos

Larry, from Odessa, MN, was looking for solutions for his vacation home's basement. The basement was experiencing water intrusion during rainy days, so he decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. Shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to the property. 

Following a thorough inspection, Shane recommended that Larry invest in our WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing. It is installed below the floor but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone" and making it harder to clog. 

Ron agreed, and our crew got to work.

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew began implementing our WaterGuard System, a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and can collect leaking water from basement walls. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. 

The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, which pushes it through the discharge line and expels it from the home. 

After all was said and done, Larry was very glad he decided to use American Waterworks and had his peace of mind restored.

A concerned customer enlisted our services when she began to notice one of the walls in her basement beginning to crack and bow. Our Design Specialist, Richie, recommended she have our PowerBrace system installed to add further stabilization to the foundation of the house. The Foreman on the project, Cameron, installed the system. Our PowerBrace system is an adjustable steel beam that can be tightened over time, ensuring that your foundation will remain stable and strong. Now our customer has peace of mind because she knows that her PowerBrace system will be intact for a long time!

A homeowner in Battle Lake, MN had water leaking from their walls, causing them to worry about water damage and flooding hazards. When it comes to block foundation walls, the open spaces in each block may fill with water, which then leaks through the walls. By eliminating that, our crew broke out the bottom of the wall perimeter by a few inches, then drilled a weep hole into each block. Next, our team installed our DryTrak Drain Pipe System, which our crew did not have to use a jackhammer for. In this case, our team just applied it over the floor perimeter., which prevented extra labor and exposure to dust. The water then was able to pour through the holes and directly into the drain pipe. 

The homeowner was happy with the repairs and was grateful we were able to help them with their basement waterproofing needs!

A homeowner was in their basement when they discovered water damage and immediately panicked. Knowing the winter months were approaching, the homeowners wanted to get ahead of any further damage. While comparing different basement waterproofing services, the homeowner determined American Waterworks was the best fit. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate with Design Specialist, Ian, and the waterproofing began. Ian suggested that WaterGuard be installed around the perimeter of the leaking room, then CleanSpace be placed on the walls, and finally, a new sump pump be installed. After presenting the plan, the homeowners agreed and the project began. Before the job, the homeowner was asked to remove the shelves around the construction area. Our crew drove out to the property and started by creating channels around the full perimeter of the home. Next, the crew removed the old sump pump system and installed the SuperSump+ in the home. Then the crew installed the CleanSpace System on top of the exposed wall. The crew completed the full waterproofing of the basement. The homeowner was thankful their basement was saved and American Waterwork was pleased to help another customer.

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.
