Before & After Photos

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! 

Greg J. of Saint Paul, MN was looking for a quote for a window well replacement with a cover. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate to inspect his space and determine a solution. Our Design Specialist, Chad, went to Greg's house and provided him with a well-detailed quote going over our RockWell Window Well and its cover. Greg was confident in the solution, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his crew dug out the surrounding soil around the pre-existing window well and replaced it with our RockWell Window Well. Once that was completed, our crew backfilled the soil and compacted it, ensuring the space was neater and cleaner than when they found it. Greg was happy with the project and had a wonderful experience from start to finish!

A homeowner from Saint Paul, MN, was growing frustrated with her basement. Each time it rained, she noticed that her basement was taking on water, specifically in the corners of the space. She no longer wanted to deal with the issue, so she began to look for a basement repair expert in St Paul, MN. When she found our website, she was impressed with our reviews and before and after image sets. She signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, Michel R, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

Michel got to work inspecting the basement. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendation. Michel believed that the issue in the basement was that water had no access to a disposal site, such as a sump pump or discharge line. For this reason, Michel recommended the installation of our SuperSump sump pump. He explained that this sump pump is not only effective but economical. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even in times of heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump boasts a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner agreed with Michel's recommendation and the project was scheduled for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Edgar M, and his team were able to swiftly install the SuperSump. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing her water intrusion issues have been handled!

A Woodbury, MN, homeowner was in the process of looking for someone to evaluate her crawl space. Over the years, she had noticed a foul smell originating from the space, leading her to believe that the crawl space could be humid or take on water, creating unhealthy air in the home. She took to the internet and searched for the 'best crawl space repair near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. After looking through other jobs we had completed in her area, she confidently signed up for her FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Michel R, was headed out to the home. When Michel arrived, he got down to business and entered the space to complete his inspection. When he finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to go over his plan for the crawl space. He began by commending the homeowner for seeking help, explaining that the health of a crawl space is incredibly important to the overall health of the home. Michel explained that we have 3 products that could address the issue, our CleanSpace for crawl space, drainage matting, and our SmartDrain. Michel elaborated, saying that the CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the unfinished walls of the crawl space, functioning to direct water entering through the walls downward, and most importantly, keeping it off the basement floor. The drainage matting, a dimpled mat, goes down before the CleanSpace to give the water entering the space a channel to flow to a disposal site. The SmartDrain is an innovative product that alerts you to a leak with an audible alarm and drains the water away to a drywell under the CleanSpace liner to protect against water damage. The homeowner, impressed with Michel's comprehensive assessment, signed on the spot. 

A month or so later, the job was well underway. Led by our Foreman, Diego B, our team successfully installed 574 sqft of CleanSpace, 456 sqft of drainage matting, and 1 SmartDrain. Now, our homeowner can go back to worrying about more important matters, all the while being confident in her homes healthy crawl space!
