American Waterworks Before & After Photos

An Olivia, MN, homeowner had recently learned about the dangers of radon gas on a household. She decided to head to her local home improvement store to purchase and conduct at-home radon level tests. When both of her tests came back with alarmingly high levels, she knew she had to contact a radon specialist. She quickly found our website and signed up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Tony B, headed out to the home. 

Tony began his inspection by scouting out the best place to put a radon mitigation system. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendation. Tony started by explaining that radon gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it completely undetectable without proper testing. He went on to say that radon gas comes from the breakdown of soil surrounding the foundation of a home. It finds its way into your space through tiny holes and cracks in the foundation of your home, silently wreaking havoc on the lungs. Tony finished by saying that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, right behind cigarette smoking. Then, Tony told the homeowner that, due to the high levels in the home, he would strongly urge her to consider installing a radon mitigation system. Tony explained that 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 an experienced professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior of the home to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was thrilled to know there was a solution to her issue and scheduled the job on the spot. 

Our Foreman, Geno M, was able to lead our crew through a swift and flawless installation. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing that the air circulating in her home was free of high levels of radon! 

A homeowner in Glyndon, MN had outside soil and water pressure pushed against their foundation wall, causing it to collapse into their crawl space. This made them worry about the structural build and stability of their home. They did some research on our website and came across our foundation and crawl space repair products. They called our office line to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick Weber. Rick went to their home to inspect their walls and come up with a solution. After a clear and detailed diagnosis, the homeowner was comfortable with Rick's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team installed two of our PowerBraces on the inside foundation, enabling the foundation wall to stabilize and straighten back into its normal position. Over time, PowerBraces can be tightened by the homeowner to make sure the walls aren't bowing in or tilting.

Andrew and Sonya G. of Glyndon, MN had an old farmhouse that was settling and needed to be leveled. They wanted a professional to take a look and give a quote on getting it jacked back up to its original position. Our office staff got in contact with them and set them up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to their home and proposed our SmartJack Foundation Repair System, which Andrew and Sonya were comfortable with, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production crew installed three of our SmartJacks. Our SmartJacks provide solid support to undersized beams, which restores the stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a basement or crawl space. Over time, homeowners can adjust the tightness to ensure the system is sticking to its design. Andrew and Sonya were happy and their peace of mind was restored knowing they no longer had to worry about the structural support of their farmhouse!

Cindy H. of Glyndon, MN had water leaking from his ceiling down the walls, and she wasn't sure what was causing it to leak. She found American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Richie. Richie went to Cindy's home, inspected her concrete, and drew up a well-detailed solution that would fit her needs. Cindy was confident in the proposal, so she scheduled a date for the installation.

Our Foreman, Ryan, and his crew began the project by breaking out the corner of the basement, forming a hole. In the hole, our crew installed our SuperSump Plus M53, which is a sump pump designed to discharge water out of the basement by keeping it away from the foundation. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is a barrier that prevents water from seeping through the basement walls and saves money on energy costs. To complete the project, our crew filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the space was neater than when they found it.

A homeowner in Glydon, MN, did not like the look of the cracked and uneven sidewalk in front of their home. Wanting to solve the issue, the homeowner looked into their options. The homeowner began researching the companies near them and the first one to pop up was us, American Waterworks. Curious about the services we offer, the homeowner deep dove into our website. Impressed by our lifting and leveling choice, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate.  The homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Richie. When Richie arrived at the home, he began his detailed inspection of the concrete. Following his evaluation, Richie determined that the concrete was sinking and cracking due to soil settlement. Richie suggested that the cracks be filled, and the sidewalk lifted. The homeowner agreed with Richie's suggestions. Once they earned the stamp of approval, the plans were directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Charlie, and his crew arrived at the home to begin the PolyLevel installation. The crew lifted the slab near the garage door and the sidewalk leading to the home. Once the PolyLevel was inserted, the crew injected the NexusPro Joint and Concrete Sealant into the many cracks and joints. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left. The homeowners were impressed with the work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is pleased to assist another customer.
