American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Larry V. in Lake City, MN had learned about the dangers of radon gas when he visited our booth at a local home show. One of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, explained to Larry that radon exposure causes 15% of the world's lung cancer cases and kills more than 20,000 people each year. Larry didn't know that the effects of radon gas exposure could be so detrimental to your health. He set an appointment right away to have his home tested. 

The test results showed that Larry did in fact have high levels of radon in his home. Mac explained the process of installing our radon mitigation system and Larry decided he wanted it to be installed as soon as possible. During the installation process, our crew drilled a hole through the floor in the basement to insert a PVC pipe and create a suction point for the radon gas. Then the gas is vented through the pipe and out of the home. Larry is relieved that he took the necessary steps to make sure his family's health is no longer compromised.

Mark K. in Lake City, MN had his home tested for radon. When the results came back with high levels, he gave American Waterworks a call. Our Design Specialist, Kevin Kreofsky, met with Mark and proposed a radon mitigation system unique to his home. 

Our Foreman, Dakota Merchlewitz, started the installation process by drilling a hole in the slab foundation of the home and connected a PVC pipe. The radon gas is drawn upward and the pipe guides it to the fan. The fan draws and vents radon safely above and away from the home. Mark is glad he took the necessary steps to protect himself and his family. 

Our client in Mason City, IA discovered her basement would flood after it rained. After a free inspection by American Waterworks, we discovered that the water was entering through their Egress Window.  We replaced their old window with a Everlast windows, which not only stopped the water from entering the basement but is more energy efficent then the old one.

A Church in Mason City, IA had battled with moisture and mold for year's in their dirt crawlspace. They contacted the experts at American Waterworks for a permanent solution, backed by a lifetime guarantee.  

Melissia T. in Mason City, IA was suffering from a flooded basement and a severely damaged foundation. Melissia called American Waterworks in hopes that we could come to her home soon and install our waterproofing system and repair her foundation. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, to her home to develop the best solution for her home and provide her with a FREE estimate. She enjoyed working with Dylan and she was pleased with his plan to restore her basement, so they scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his crew started installing our waterproofing system by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our TripleSafe sump pump and our CleanSpace vapor barrier system along the walls. The combination of these waterproofing products ensure that water will be properly discharged from her basement and that it will remain a dry and healthier space. Then, they installed 5 PowerBraces along the damaged foundation wall to halt any further movement and stabilize it. PowerBraces also provide the potential to straighten the wall as they are tightened over time. Melissia was pleased with the results and is glad she chose to invest in the protection of her home.
