American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A customer from Saint James, MN got in contact with us when he had enough of unwanted water and moisture finding its way into his basement. He feared that if he left the issue unresolved, he could run the risk of developing mold and bacteria or damaging the structural integrity of the home. When he called our Appointment Center, we got him scheduled with our FREE estimate; a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. When our Design Specialist stopped at the house, he completed his walk-through and made recommendations as to how we could remedy the issue. He began by informing the homeowner that water was entering the basement through cracks and porous holes in the wall. He said we could fix this issue by installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier along with our WaterGuard drainage system. He explained to the homeowner that the CleanSpace is a tarp-like material that gets tacked to the wall. It works to catch any water entering the home through the wall, directing it downwards. He went on to say that this is where the WaterGuard comes into play. This drainage system lies beneath the concrete of the floor and catches water dripping down the wall, directing it to the appropriate disposal site. The customer agreed with our recommendations and work began shortly after. 

Our construction crew, led by Foreman Lane, ended up installing 100 ft of both the CleanSpace and WaterGuard throughout the basement of the home. When the job was completed, our customer was happy to know that no more unwanted water would find its way into his basement! 

A homeowner in Saint James, MN, had been concerned that the concrete around his driveway and walkway had begun sinking, causing the area to become uneven. Knowing the issue would persist unless addressed, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Kevin B., arrived at the home to assess the concrete. During the inspection, Kevin noticed signs of soil washout and explained to the homeowner that it is the process by which water moves through the ground and washes away the supporting soils, keeping the slabs upright. To get the homeowner's concrete slabs back to their original position, Kevin recommended PolyLevel, our quick and effective solution to sinking slabs. The homeowner was happy to agree to Kevin's recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by drilling small holes into the concrete slabs. Then, PolyLevel is injected beneath, lifting the slabs. Once it has been lifted to the desired height, the crew seals the holes.

Now, our customers' walkway and driveway have been lifted and leveled! Noticed sunken slabs around your home? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate today!

Andrew W. of Raymond, MN got his home tested for radon and his radon levels came back between 11 and 16 pCi/L. He wanted to get a quote for a Radon Mitigation System installed in his home, so he contacted American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Jesse Williams. Jesse went to Andrew's home, drew out a plan for where the system should be installed, and determined the price of the system. After a thorough discussion, Andrew felt confident in Jesse's plan, so he moved forward with the project and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Geno Mclain, and his crew installed PVC piping from the basement, up, until they got to the outside of the home. At that point, they installed our Radon Mitigation System, which is the heart of the system. If the system isn't working, then radon is not being pulled from within the home. Each system is different depending on the structure of the home, which is something that the Design Specialist will discuss with the homeowner. Andrew was happy with the installation and had a great experience with our crew.

A homeowner in Raymond, MN, saw their sidewalk was very uneven and starting to become a tripping hazard. Wanting to resolve the issue before it significantly worsened, the homeowner began searching for a solution. The homeowner wanted to avoid replacing the entire sidewalk, so they focused on repair options. During their search, the homeowner came across our concrete repair services. Impressed with our extensive list, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists. When the Design Specialist arrived, they began their evaluation of the concrete. The Design Specialist determined that the sidewalk was sinking into the ground due to soil settlement. To stop the sidewalk from sinking further, the Design Specialist recommended lifting and leveling the area. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed. The plans were then sent to our Foreman, Sam, and his crew. When they arrived at the home, Sam and his crew started by mapping out where the PolyLevel would be installed. Then, the crew inserted the PolyLevel underneath the sidewalk in front of the garage. After the PolyLevel was inserted, the crew could clean up their materials and leave the home. The homeowners were pleased with the efficient work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist another customer fix their concrete issues. 

A Raymond, MN, homeowner had just learned of the dangers of radon gas. He didn't want his family to be victim to the hazardous gas, so he began to look for radon mitigators in MN. After searching the internet, he found our website. After looking through our radon mitigation pictures, he signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Jesse W, headed out to the home. 

After Jesse finished his inspection, he informed the homeowner that he was recommended the installation of a radon mitigation system. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. 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. The homeowner agreed with Jesse's recommendation, and work was scheduled for some time later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jackson P, headed out to the home. He was able to install the system with no issues. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing that his radon problem has been solved!
