Sagging Crawl Space in Racine, MN

Bridget M. in Racine, MN noticed that her floor had started sagging and realized that it was because her crawl space was not properly supported. She saw an advertisement for American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our crawl space repair solutions. She contacted us for a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, to her home to inspect her crawl space and recommend a solution.

SmartJacks Secures Floors in Hampton, MN

A homeowner in Hampton, MN, noticed the wood on the ceiling of their basement was rotting. Concerned by this discovery, the homeowner wanted to have a professional inspect the status of the basement. The homeowner was searching for a professional to complete the inspection and came across us, American Waterworks. After going onto our website and signing up for their FREE estimate, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Mac. Once he arrived, Mac began evaluating the basement. Mac determined that the home's main level floors needed to be stabilized and came up with a recommended solution for the homeowners. After hearing multiple versions of the solution, the homeowners picked the best fit for their home. Next, the plans were sent to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Victor, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. The crew started by installing a main wood 6x6 beam across the center of the basement, to replace the rotting wood on the basement ceiling. Once the crew replaced the main beam, they placed five SmartJacks into the correct position. The SmartJacks reinforcement system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams. After the crew successfully installed the SmartJacks, they cleaned up their site and moved on to their next project. The homeowners were happy to know their floors were professionally stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to help our customers make their homes more safe.

Waterproofed Basement in Inver Grove Heights, MN

James R. of Inver Grove Heights, MN had water leaking through the floor of his basement, making him nervous about his home repair needs. He went on Google, called our office line, and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Josh Schultz. Josh went to his home, examined his water problems, and came up with the solution of our waterproofing system called WaterGuard. James got all of his questions answered about the product and warranty, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jose Flores, and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. Inside the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs, collect water seepage from basement walls, and act like an underground drain. Jose and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete, making the basement look neater than when they found it.
