Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Forest Lake, MN, noticed that water was seeping through the joints where the wall and footing meet and was concerned for his home. Knowing he needed expert advice, the homeowner began searching for basement waterproofing services in Forest Lake, MN, and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our stellar reviews, the homeowner knew we were the right choice and contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Daniel R., and his crew arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection of the homeowner's concerns. During the inspection, Daniel noticed water stains along the floor and the walls. For this reason, Daniel recommended installing WaterGuard, our below-the-floor perimeter drainage system that collects water and sends it to the sump pump system, CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that prevents water vapor from permeating the walls and channels any leaks to the drainage system, TripleSafe, our superior sump pump system that comes with three pumps in one unit, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipes freeze. After reviewing Daniel's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Jeromy A., and his crew arrived at the home to carry out the installation. The crew installed 92ft of WaterGuard, 49ft of our Half Wall CleanSpace, 1 TripleSafe, and 2 IceGuard. After they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

John B. in Afton, MN noticed that his concrete walkway had settled a few inches, creating a large step down from the door. He was unhappy with how it looked, and was concerned people would trip. He wanted to find an effective and affordable way to repair his concrete, rather than replacing it. 

He found American Waterworks and was intrigued by the PolyLevel concrete repair solution that we offer. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Kevin McWithey, to his home to provide him with a FREE onsite estimate. John was pleased to learn that our PolyLevel foam injection is a more affordable, non-invasive and durable alternative to traditional concrete repair.

Our PolyLevel experts, Brandon Wiskow and Jared Wroblewski, drilled small holes into the concrete slabs where the foam would be injected. Then, the foam was injected until it was raised back to its original height. The cracks in the concrete were sealed with our Nexus Pro sealant and the process was complete! The job took roughly two hours, and John was able to see the transformation almost immediately because once the foam is injected it takes only 30 minutes to cure. John was glad he chose do go with the PolyLevel repair option provided by American Waterworks.

Darla from Saint Lucas, IA, needed a solution for her basement water issues. After looking around, she went on the American Waterworks website, and we set her up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to his home to inspect the space and devise a solution. Darla got all of her questions answered and was confident in Ian's proposal, so she moved forward with the project. 

First, Foreman, Jeromy and his production crew started the installation by completing a full-wall demo and then breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System along the East and South walls of the basement where issues were present. Our WaterGuard is 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 ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. To complete the WaterGuard project, Jeromy and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Our team also worked to provide the space a more finished, insulated, and durable feel by installing our ZenWall™ Insulated Panels. The ZenWall™ panels provide insulation, waterproofing, and a finished appearance for basement walls. This patented system is ideal for homeowners interested in a more comfortable, energy-efficient basement. Are you having water problems in your basement?

A male homeowner in Roseau, MN had water leaking through the walls of his basement, causing him to worry about water moisture and other water damages. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to his home, inspected his problems, and came up with a solution that fit his needs and budget. The homeowner was confident in our proposal and presentation, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which prevents water clogs, serves as an underground drain that joins with the sump pump, and collects water seepage from basement walls. To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. The homeowner was happy with the repairs and had a great experience from start to finish! 

Noland H. in Calmar, IA had an unfinished basement with a dirt floor. He had water seeping up through the soil and through the limestone foundation. It was his goal to remodel the home, but he knew he needed to waterproof his basement before doing so. A few of his neighbors recommended that he contact American Waterworks, so he called us for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialist, Pete Wangen, went to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. Noland liked our waterproofing products and enjoyed working with Pete, so he decided to move forward with the installation.

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the basement walls. The combination of these waterproofing products has made Noland’s basement a dry, brighter and healthier space. Noland is happy he chose to protect his basement before starting the remodel.
