Ryan B. of Stoddard, WI had a crack in his foundation wall, causing him to worry about the stability of his home. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE inspection with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to Ryan's home, carefully examined his foundation wall, and drew up a solution that worked for him and his home repair needs. He was confident in Rick's proposal of our GeoLock Wall Anchor System, so he followed through with the project and got an installation date scheduled.
Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his production manager began the project by digging small holes outside the home, beyond the foundation. From the interior foundation, Tremaine and his crew inserted a long, steel rod through to each hole outside of the home. At the ends of each rod, our crew installed an anchor and a wall plate which provides the pressure to make the system work. Our anchors extend out to the hard-packed soil, anchoring themselves and bracing the foundation wall, which stops inward movement. Over time, our anchors can be tightened by the homeowner to ensure the system is sticking to its design. To complete the installation, Tremaine and his team backfilled each hole, compacted the soil, and ensured the outdoor space was neater than when they found it.

Dick K. of Stoddard, WI had a musty smell in his crawl space and he wanted to get it sealed up. He saw one of our advertisements in his local newspaper, so he called the office line and talked to our appointment center about our free estimates. Our appointment center set him up with a free estimate with one of our expert Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to Dick's house, checked out his crawl space, and drew up the solution of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier. Dick got all of his questions answered about the product and its warranty, so he scheduled a date for the installation.
Our Foreman and his production team installed 686 square feet of our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier around the entire crawl space. This vapor barrier prevents water vapor and humidity from passing through while keeping the crawl space dry and protecting it from mold or rot. Along with that, it seals away bad odors and provides more storage to the home. Dick was happy with the work that was done and his peace of mind was restored!

A homeowner in Stoddard, WI, knew it was about time to schedule their annual maintenance appointment. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the maintenance appointment was set, we sent one of our Service Technicians, Kyle, to the home. Upon arrival, Kyle introduced himself to the homeowners and began his inspection. During his inspection, Kyle discovered that there was a slight separation between the cinder blocks. Kyle alerted the homeowner that this could lead to larger issues if not solved. Additionally, Kyle recommended that this wall be permanently stabilized to prevent further damage. The homeowners knew the high-quality work we completed and trusted Kyle's opinion, so they agreed with his recommendations. The plans were then directed to the assigned crew and production preparations began. Our Foreman, Raul, and his crew arrived at the home and prepared the wall for the CarbonArmor installation. CarbonArmor is a state-of-the-art solution that is used to fix cracks and bowing foundation walls. The crew installed seven CarbonArmor strips along the north basement wall. After the CarbonArmor was installed, the crew completed their job and cleaned up the work site. Yet again, the homeowners were impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to stabilize another home's foundation.
A homeowner in Stoddard, WI, noticed an odd noise from their basement. Unsure of the source, the homeowner knew they needed to take a closer look. The homeowner discovered the noises were coming from their sump pump. Concerned that their sump pump was in serious trouble, the homeowner began searching for a replacement. The homeowner looked into "best sump pump systems," and the homeowner came across one of our blogs highlighting our sump pump systems. After reading the blog, the homeowner knew we offered the best line of sump pumps in the area. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Michel, to the home to take a closer look. Once Michel arrived, he began by inspecting the struggling sump pump. After taking a closer look, Michel confirmed the sump pump required replacement. Additionally, Michel recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. After he completed the thorough inspection, Michel presented his solution to the homeowner. The homeowner knew this was their best option for their home, so they decided to go ahead with Michel's proposal. Next, Michel passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logistics team finalized the project, then it was scheduled for a few weeks later. When the project date arrived, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Kiko and his crew began by installing the WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to removing the old sump pump and installing the SuperSump+. Next, Kiko and his crew installed CleanSpace on the unfinished basement walls. After the CleanSpace was secured, the crew shifted their focus to installing the IceGuard on the exterior discharge line. As soon as all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is dry and secure.
Katie W. in Waukon, IA noticed that she had cracks in her foundation and water was seeping through the cracks into her basement. The water had started damaging her personal items in her basement, and she was concerned that the damage to her basement was only going to get worse. She started looking for a waterproofing contractor in the area and she came across the American Waterworks website. She was glad to see that we have over 29 years of experience in the waterproofing industry. She contacted us to receive a free estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. She was pleased with the proposal that we developed for her, so she scheduled the installation.
Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system in her basement and two lateral lines through the middle of the floor. We also installed our TripleSafe sump pump system- which is our most reliable sump pump. The drainage system properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Katie can rest easy knowing that she chose the right solution to protect her home for the long-term.
