Before & After Photos

A homeowner in St. Paul, MN,  was inspecting their basement after a heavy rainfall. During this inspection, the homeowner came across several wet spots throughout the basement floor. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner wanted to find answers. The homeowner began looking into waterproofing companies around St. Paul. During their hunt, the homeowner came across our company. After seeing we were a family-owned business, the homeowner knew we were the company to trust. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and they awaited the arrival of Nick, one of our Design Specialists. Nick traveled to the home and began his detailed inspection of the home. Once he completed the estimate, he recommended fully waterproofing the basement. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed. Once they were approved by our office, they were sent to our crew. Our Foreman, Jose, and his crew were assigned to complete the project. First, the crew began by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard is a perimeter drain system that is specifically engineered to fix basement water problems efficiently. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew shifted their focus to installing the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is the most reliable water pumping system in the world. Next, the crew dug a buried discharge line outside the home. After all the waterproofing products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its customers peace of mind. 

Douglas P. in Saint Paul, MN had a crack in his foundation where water was leaking in. Any time he experienced a heavy rain, water would start to pool in his basement with no where to go. He started looking for a waterproofing company, and he found American Waterworks on Home Advisor. He got in touch with us to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. While Chad was there, he noticed that the support beams in his basement had started to sag, which was causing the cracks in the foundation. Chad recommended that we install SmartJacks as well as our waterproofing system to ensure that his basement would permanently be a dry space. Douglas agreed, and he liked the proposal that Chad presented, so he decided to move forward with the installation.

Our production team installed the SmartJacks first to hold up the beams and provide permanent support. Then, they removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installed the WaterGuard drainage system and SuperSump sump pump. Lastly, they installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier to keep mold and moisture out of the basement. Water is now guided through the drainage system and led to the sump pump, where it is then discharged from the home. The combination of these foundation repair and waterproofing products have created a dry, clean, and stable basement for Douglas. Both our waterproofing and foundation repair products are backed by warranties, so Douglas can rest easy knowing he chose a reliable, long-term solution.

A homeowner in Eagan, MN was alarmed to find water damage in her basement space. She wanted to find a solution for it sooner than later, to prevent any more problems from happening. One of her neighbors had also dealt with water-related issues and American Waterworks was the company that helped them out. She decided to contact them as well for a FREE no-obligation estimate to see what they could do for her own situation. We sent over Design Specialist Adam Voigt to inspect the area, see what the root of the water damage was, and present recommendations. Adam informed the homeowner that the main issue was the current sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water that was entering through the foundation and would continue if left unattended to. He suggested to her that a SuperSump Plus pump system would be able to keep up with pumping the water that was entering. Our Foreman, Chris Newton, and his crew arrived at the site to carry out the installation of the SuperSump Plus system and a discharge line to carry the water from the inside pump to outside of the home. The homeowner was relieved to have a water-free basement again and grateful for our services.

An Eagan, MN,  homeowner was chatting with her neighbor one day when she learned that her neighbor had their home tested for radon gas. She did not know the dangers of radon gas but decided to find a radon mitigation specialist in her area just to be sure that her home wasn't affected. Through an online search, she quickly found our website. Impressed with our radon mitigation system pictures, she signed up for her FREE estimate and several weeks later, one of our Design Specialists, Brad W, was headed out to the home. 

Brad began his inspection by placing a continuous radon monitoring test on the lowest level of the home. This test works to collect radon levels in the home over a 48-hour timespan, delivering the average result when the test concludes. When Brad finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver the diagnosis. Brad began by explaining that radon is a radioactive gas that is emitted from the breakdown of soil surrounding your home's foundation. It gets into the home through tiny cracks and holes in the foundation. The gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, thus making it completely undetectable without the proper testing. Brad went on to say that the EPA recommends taking action for any levels higher than 4 pCi/L, as this dangerous gas has been linked to the development of lung cancer, claiming 21,000 lives annually. Brad finished by saying that if the results of the test came back higher than the recommended level, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider installing a radon mitigation system. A typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by a professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health safety agencies. The homeowner liked Brad's plan but decided to wait for the results to return to make her choice. 48 short hours later, Brad returned to the home to read the results, which returned well above 4 pCi/L, so Brad and the homeowner began to discuss the best day for our team to come out and install her system. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Dakota M, was able to place the system in the home. Now, our customer can have renewed faith in the air circulating her home!
