American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Elma, IA was tired of dealing with the large bump that had formed in between his driveway and the garage floor. Over time it had sunk which resulted in this problem and had become an issue for his car and more recently he noticed it was a safety hazard when he tripped on it. Not wanting the problem to get worse, he was determined to go online and find a solution. He searched for "how to fix sinking driveway" and was surprised with how many results showed up. He ended up going with American Waterworks because of our FREE estimate appointments and on the day of his estimate was greeted by one of our Design Specialists. The Design Specialist explained that our PolyLevel product was the best solution for the situation because it was strong enough to lift the concrete back up and less expensive than replacing the whole driveway. The homeowner agreed and later our Foreman, Troy Johnson, and his crew arrived at the site for the installation. They injected the PolyLevel foam and also filled in the empty joints with NexusPro for a smooth finish. The homeowner was excited to have a bump-free driveway again and thanked our crew for their work.

A homeowner in Elma, IA, knew it was time to repair their water-damaged basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner looked into "who to call for basement leak?". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist. The Design Specialist promptly arrived and began the thorough inspection of the basement. After taking a closer look, the Design Specialist determined that the space needed to be fully waterproofed. The Design Specialist shared their solution with the homeowner, and they agreed it was the best plan of action for their home. Next, the homeowner worked with the Design Specialist to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Lane, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Lane and his crew started by securing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe. After all the products were secured, 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 pleased to provide its homeowners with peace of mind, knowing their basements are secure.

Bridget M. in Racine, MN noticed that her floor had started sagging and realized that it was because her crawl space was not properly supported. She saw an advertisement for American Waterworks and was interested to learn more about our crawl space repair solutions. She contacted us for a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, to her home to inspect her crawl space and recommend a solution. Bridget was pleased with Dustin’s proposal, so she scheduled the installation.

Our crew installed 12 SmartJacks and a supplemental beam in her crawl space to raise the floor back to its original position and provide permanent support. Our SmartJacks are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Bridget is confident that she chose the best long-term option to support her crawl space.

Todd H. in Racine, MN contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on TV. He had a stoop that had settled in front of his home, and he was interested in our PolyLevel lifting and leveling solution to repair the concrete. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Brian Ramirez, to meet with Todd and evaluate the situation. Todd was happy to learn that our Poly Level option is a faster, more durable, and affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair or replacement. 

Our Foreman, Dylon Mish, drilled penny-sized holes into the concrete stoop where it needed to be raised. He then injected the PolyLevel foam until the concrete was raised and leveled. Lastly, he filled the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. The process was non-invasive, and it only took a couple of hours. Now Todd will be able to enjoy a level stoop for years to come!

A homeowner from Racine, MN, was reading a local newspaper one day when he stumbled across a piece on the dangers of radon gas. He had read that radon gas is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it completely undetectable without the proper testing. Not wanting his family to unknowingly breathe in the hazardous gas, he decided to find a radon specialist to test his home. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo V, was headed out to the home. 

When Romeo arrived, he began his inspection by placing a charcoal radon test on the lowest level of the home. The purpose of this test is to gauge the levels of radon within the home over a period of time. Romeo then carried on with the inspection. When he completed, he met with the homeowner. He informed the homeowner that they were right to have their home tested as radon gas is deadly. He explained that the Environmental Protection Agency recommends mitigating a home if levels are higher than 4 pCi/L. Romeo informed the homeowner that, should the levels return higher, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider 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. It works to lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior of the home to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was thrilled with the solution but decided to wait until the results from the test returned. A week later, the results returned higher than the recommended level. The homeowner called Romeo and the two figured out the best day for the system to be installed. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota M, and his team were able to swiftly install the system. Now, our customer has renewed faith in the air circulating within his home!
