American Waterworks Before & After Photos

 A La Crosse, WI, homeowner was hosting an outdoor BBQ when he noticed a large crack running across his backyard patio. Not wanting the issue to worsen, he decided to begin his search for a WI concrete repair company. After sorting through Google reviews and asking friends and neighbors, he decided to contact us and set up his FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist headed out to his home. 

After our Design Specialist concluded his inspection, he met with the homeowner. He informed him that we could address the sinking concrete with the help of our PolyLevel method. He explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete. It slowly fills voids left by soil erosion and lifts the sunken concrete back to its desired location. Our Design Specialist went on to say that, once the concrete had been lifted, he recommended the application of our NexusPro. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that gets applied directly to the joints and cracks in the concrete. This sealant works to prevent unwanted moisture from getting beneath or below the concrete to the vulnerable soil below. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan, and scheduled the job to be installed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman,  Jordan, and his team completed the lift and level without complications. Now, our customer can host outdoor parties all summer with the knowledge that her sunken concrete has been dealt with!

A La Crosse, WI, homeowner had noticed an odd smell coming from his crawl space beneath the home. He was concerned about what this could mean for his home, so he quickly took to the web to search for best crawl space repair near me, and when our website popped up, he decided to sign up for a FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Dustin L, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. After Dustin completed his inspection, he was ready to meet with the homeowner to discuss remedies for the problem. Dustin recommended two of our products to address the moisture in the space. First, Dustin wanted to cover the crawl space walls with our CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier. This durable, bright white crawl space liner is installed on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot. With a 25-year warranty against rips and tears, this durable 20-mil poly-reinforced crawl space liner converts your crawl space into a usable storage area. And with its mold-resistant additive "UltraFresh", CleanSpace® will never support mildew or mold growth on its surface. Next, Dustin explained that crawl space liners rest directly on the crawl space floor. If your crawl space is flooding, water can be trapped underneath, never making it to your perimeter drain. The raised dimples on our CleanSpace® Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner. This directs the water flooding your crawl space to your perimeter crawl space drain and sump pump. The homeowner agreed with Dustin's recommendations, and several weeks later, the project began. 

Our Foreman, Jesus M, led his team through a precise, clean installation. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that his crawl space is protected!

A La Crosse, WI, homeowner was growing tired of a piece of uneven concrete in the walkway in front of his home. Each time he walked over the cracked concrete, he took a tumble as it was protruding. He began to look for contractors offering concrete repair in WI. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Ross J headed out to the home. 

Ross got right to work assessing the concrete. When he finished, he informed the homeowner that we could address the issue using our PolyLevel injection. This product is a polyurethane foam that expands as it's injected beneath sunken concrete. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, slowly lifting the concrete back to its original resting place in the process. Ross went on to say that, as an extra measure of protection, he was recommending our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant is applied to all the cracks and joints of the newly lifted concrete. It works to prevent unwanted moisture from getting below the concrete to the vulnerable soil below. The homeowner agreed with Ross's plan, and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Sam K, and his team were able to lift, level, and seal the concrete with no issues. Now, our customer can enjoy his home without worries of uneven concrete! 

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, had been reading a local newspaper when she saw one of our print ads for radon gas mitigation. She didn't know much about radon, so she took to the internet. What she found out was very disconcerting, so she decided to call us to schedule a FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, was headed out to the home. 

When Brad arrived, the first step in his process was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. Brad explained that this test works to record the radon levels within the home over a 48-hour timespan. After the test concludes, an average radon level will be delivered. Brad went on to say that if the levels came back higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. He 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. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan but decided to wait until the results returned to make a choice. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to effortlessly install the system within the home. Now, our customer can have confidence in the air circulating in her home!

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, was in the process of remodeling his home when he tore out a large section of drywall and uncovered a large crack in his basement wall, which seemed to be bowing inward. The homeowner did some research on his own and wondered if foundation anchors would save the basement. The homeowner knew he was in over his head, so he took to the internet to search for 'residential foundation repair near me' and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was out at the home. 

Chuck performed his inspection and then met with the homeowner. He began by informing the homeowner that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from above, not the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what it can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Chuck could tell the homeowner was growing uneasy with the diagnosis, so he quickly reassured the homeowner that we could help remedy the issue. He informed the homeowner that his assumption hadn't been far off and that he was recommending our GeoLock wall anchors. Chuck elaborated, stating that this innovative system works to counteract foundation failure by anchoring the wall to the hard-packed undisturbed soil beyond the foundation, permanently stabilizing your basement walls, and offering the best opportunity to straighten the walls without the cost and disruption of foundation replacement. The homeowner was thrilled with Chuck's recommendation and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Victor S, and his team effortlessly installed 5 of our GeoLock anchors on the problem walls in the basement. Now, our customer can continue the remodel, knowing that their foundation will stand the test of time!
