American Waterworks Before & After Photos

In Fifty Lakes, MN, a homeowner came upon an article that discusses the dangers radon poses in homes. Through the article, he learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As uranium decays, it produces radium, which eventually turns into radon gas. Since uranium is in soil, it makes radon unavoidable. Worried that his family was breathing in the toxic fumes, he decided to look into services in the area. He came upon our website and was pleased to see our Before and After photos of our radon mitigation system. He quickly contacted us to claim his FREE estimate and scheduled an appointment with our Design Specialist.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, James N., arrived at the home to start the radon monitoring test. He set this test up in the lowest level of the home and explained to the homeowner that the test would need to run for at least 48 hours. James reassured the homeowner that his decision to have the home tested was good as we cannot see, touch, smell, taste, or hear radon. He further explained that we offer a radon mitigation system that uses a large-diameter plastic pipe that suctions out the air beneath your foundation and vents it outdoors. The homeowner was thankful for James's permanent solution to prevent dangerous radon levels in the future. 

In about a week, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is the Environmental Protection Agency's required action level for radon. The homeowner contacted us to schedule the installment of our radon mitigation system. 

In a couple of weeks, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson P., arrived at the home for the installation. When he finished installing the system, the homeowner was relieved he no longer had to worry about breathing in the toxic fumes.

Allen M. of Protivin, IA had water leaking in his basement so he called American Waterworks to set up a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Brian Ramirez, went to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production team broke out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor to form a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System which is designed to collect wall seepage and serve as an "underground drain." Our crew filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the existing concrete. Allen was grateful we were able to save the life of his basement! 

A homeowner in Protivin, IA, received a reminder that it was time to schedule their annual maintenance appointment. The homeowner contacted our Service team and worked to find the best date for their annual maintenance appointment. When the appointment date arrived, we sent one of our Service Technicians, Clay, to the home to begin the appointment. Once Clay arrived, he began the inspection of the installed products. While he was completing the inspection, Clay noticed their crawl space was not properly encapsulated. Clay completed the inspection, then met with the homeowner to share his findings. He recommended fully encapsulating the crawl space, and the homeowner agreed. Next, Clay worked with the homeowner to schedule the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Jeromy, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Jeromy and his crew started by laying Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. Once the Drainage Matting was secured, the crew shifted to laying CleanSpace on top of the Drainage Matting and on the walls. Finally, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is glad to keep providing solutions for its homeowners.

Charles D. of Willernie, MN had a bowing foundation wall. He wanted to get it repaired before it bowed any further. He had American Waterworks take care of him and his home. Our Design Specialist, Chad, inspected his foundation wall and educated him on our solutions. Our Feld Supervisor, Rene, installed our wall anchor system, which is the most versatile foundation repair system that we provide for homeowners because of its ability to solve a wide variety of problems. The project was completed in one day, and Charles was happy with the work that was done!

Mark M. in Goodhue, MN wanted to have his patio raised because it had sunk just over an inch after the change in season. He previously had work done by us, so he decided to contact us for a FREE estimate for our concrete repair services. One of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, went to his home to design the best solution for his needs. Mark was pleased to learn that our PolyLevel concrete repair solution is more efficient and cost-effective than traditional concrete repair, and he enjoyed working with us in the past, so he scheduled the injection.

Our concrete repair expert, Brandon Wiskow, drilled small holes into the concrete patio where the slabs needed to be raised. Then, he injected the foam until the slabs were raised back to their original position. The process was minimally invasive and only took a couple of hours to complete. Mark was happy with the result and is glad he can enjoy a level patio for years to come!
