Waterproofing in Faribault, MN

A homeowner in Faribault, MN was alarmed about the state of his basement when he went downstairs and found a large amount of water damage to the walls and floors. He quickly became interested in finding a solution to prevent any more problems from happening. Online he looked up "leaking basement repair near me" and found many results of companies in the area. The one company that stood out to him was American Waterworks because of our quality products and FREE no-obligation estimates. He signed up for his own estimate and was later met by one of our Design Specialists, Brian Ramirez, to inspect the basement and answer any of the homeowner's questions. Brian recommended two of our products be installed to stop the incoming water from entering inside the basement again and the homeowner agreed to the installations. Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his crew made their way to the site to carefully install our WaterGuard basement drain system to the perimeter of the basement and CleanSpace vapor barrier on the walls. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and thanked our crew for their hard work.

Egress Window Well Gets Updated in Faribault, MN

A Faribault, MN, homeowner was looking to add a bedroom to his basement but was running into an issue. For his new addition to be a legal bedroom, he needed a means of egress that met codes of safety. He began the search for companies in the area that could help, and ended up finding our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to the home. 

Once our Design Specialist completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Our Design Specialist recommended using our RockWell Window WellRockWell offers an attractive alternative to ugly window wells while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. RockWell window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the well walls. They’re UV stable, rust and rot proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. A polycarbonate safety cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural sunlight and fresh outside air to enter your basement. While they are not intended for continual foot traffic, the 10mm fluted polycarbonate cover will hold up to 500 lbs. of weight and prevent family members from accidentally falling into the window well. The homeowner liked the sound of our Design Specialist's plan and scheduled the work for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Luis D, was able to install the RockWell with no issues. Now, our customer can enjoy his new addition, knowing its code-compliant! 

Leaky Basement Gets a Solution in Faribault, MN

A homeowner from Faribault, MN, was experiencing water intrusion. After each rain, he was left with standing water by the baseboard of his basement walls. Not wanting the issue to worsen, he found a MN basement waterproofing company. After coming across our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. 

Once Darin concluded his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Darin explained that because the water was entering the home through the walls and the floor, he was recommending three of our products. First, Darin wanted to install our CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets applied directly to unfinished walls. It works to trap water entering the space through holes and cracks in the foundation and direct it downwards, keeping it off the floor. To complement the CleanSpace, Darin suggested our WaterGuard, a below-floor French drain that collects water from the CleanSpace, as well as any water that is entering through the floors. The WaterGuard directs the flow of water to the appropriate disposal site, which Darin wanted to be our SuperSump. An effective and more economical solution, the SuperSump includes 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 liked the sound of the products working together, and scheduled the installation for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo M, and his team ended up installing 1 SuperSump, 23ft of CleanSpace, and another 136ft of WaterGuard. Now our customer can enjoy his basement without worries of water intrusion!

Sump Pump Gets Upgraded in Faribault, MN

A homeowner from Faribault, MN, was dealing with an outdated sump system that was on her last nerve. The homeowner was concerned that if she didn't do something about the old system soon, she would be left with a mess in her basement come the first melt of spring. She decided to search for crawl space repairs near Faribault, MN and quickly found American Waterworks. She signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, was out to the home. 

Ryan completed his inspection and, when he finished, informed the homeowner that he believed the basement could benefit from replacing the old system with our TripleSafe sump pump, the most reliable pump in our lineup. This innovative machine is specially designed with three levels of protection for both your basement and your peace of mind. In times of normal functioning, the system has a powerful cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sum pump set at the lowest level. For times of heavy volume water, the TripleSafe boasts a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 horsepower pump set a bit higher in the liner that will take over. Ryan went on to say that he would also recommend our UltraSump battery backup system. He explained that the UltraSump will alert you of power failure with an alarm sound when it runs and silences when the pump cycles off. This system can pump out an excess of 11,500 gallons of water on a fully charged battery. The homeowner was thrilled with the new system recommendation and scheduled the job on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Kevin M, and his team successfully placed the system. Now, our customer can have peace of mind heading into the warmer months! 

Sunken Patio Stoop in Cottage Grove, MN

A homeowner in Cottage Grove, MN contacted us after noticing his concrete patio and stoop had settled over 3 inches, making it a major trip hazard for anyone trying to enter and exit his home. He didn't want any of his visitors getting hurt, so he decided to call American Waterworks to fix the problem!

We used PolyLevel injection to raise the structure back to its correct position. Overtime, the soil beneath concrete cannot hold the weight of the concrete on top. It sinks leaving an uneven area of concrete. Our PolyLevel injection is installed through a  dime-sized hole beneath the concrete. The material expands to fill the sunken space where the soil once was.
