American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Strawberry Point, IA, was concerned after discovering water damage throughout their basement walls. Knowing they could not solve the issue themselves, the homeowner began looking into professional waterproofing companies that could solve their problems. The homeowner looked into "Iowa basement waterproofing" and at the top of the list was us, American Waterworks. Interested in learning more, the homeowner decided to take a look at the services we offer and the products we have. Impressed by all our services and products, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Ryan, one of our Design Specialists. Ryan arrived at the home and began his detailed inspection of the basement. During his investigation, Ryan determined the basement needed to be professional waterproofing. Ryan proposed his plan to the homeowner and they agreed with his recommendations. After they were approved, the plans were passed along to our office to be approved. As soon as the office approved and built the project, they were sent to our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew. Kingsley and his crew traveled to the home and started the project by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted their focus to installing the SuperSump+ in the corner of the basement. Next, the crew attached CleanSpace to the basement walls. Finally, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to assist its customers in properly waterproofing their basements. 

Daniel Y. of Hammond, WI had his windows blocked and wanted to provide more lighting in his basement with heavy-duty windows. Once he found out American Waterworks installs windows, he gave us a call for a Free Estimate to check out the property. We sent out our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, to inspect the basement to determine which window would work best. After all of Daniel's questions were answered and told Chad he wanted three windows, he went ahead with the project and scheduled the installation date. 

Our foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew began the installation by digging the wall pavement out in three spots. They measured all of the edges and sides to make sure that our EverLast Basement Windows would fit properly. Then, they trimmed off any leftover rigid edges to make the finishing touch nice and smooth. Our EverLast Basement Windows are double-paned, energy-efficient, and provide an elegant look to a refurbished basement! Daniel was very satisfied with the outcome and is looking forward to having American Waterworks be his go-to for future projects! 

Anna H. in Maiden Rock, WI noticed that the moisture in her crawl space and was interested in encapsulation. She did her research and chose to contact American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mike Radosevich, to her home to inspect his crawl space and design a solution. 

Mike recommended our crawl space vapor barrier, TerraBlock insulation, and also having SmartJacks installed in the crawl space to support the old, sagging beam. Our production crew installed 3 SmartJacks and 15ft of supplemental beams. Our crawl space structural support jacks, called SmartJacks, are made of galvanized steel for corrosion resistance and can support loads of more than 60,000lbs! Our SmartJacks are the ONLY crawl space support jacks that address problem soils, so the SmartJacks provide a permanent solution for rotting, sagging floor beams. Anna was pleased with the transformation and glad she made the investment to protect her home!

David Z. in Osceola, WI was frustrated with his sunken driveway. It was a trip hazard and it caused a large bump when driving in and out of the garage. David wanted to find a quick and affordable way to repair his concrete, so he started researching concrete repair contractors. He found American Waterworks’ website and was interested to learn more about our PolyLevel concrete repair solution. He called us for a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Kevin McWithey, to his home to provide him with a solution. Kevin explained the process of our PolyLevel injection and that we would be able to raise and level his concrete within a matter of hours. David was pleased to hear this, so they set a date for the installation.

One of our PolyLevel experts, Jared Wroblewski, drilled small holes into the concrete slabs where it needed to be raised. Then, he injected the foam until the concrete was once again level with the garage and the siding of the home. Lastly, he sealed the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. The process was non-invasive and only took a couple of hours. David is now able to enjoy level concrete for years to come!

Janet S. in Osceola, WI contacted American Waterworks because she was concerned about the water that was leaking into the corner of her basement, and she had a bowing foundation wall. She was tired of cleaning up after heavy rains, and she was concerned about the stability of her home. We sent one of our Design Specialists to meet with Janet, evaluate the situation, and propose a unique solution. Janet was impressed with the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew were able to stabilize the foundation wall by installing 7 Geo-Lock anchors along the wall. The wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the foundation wall and pull it back to its original position. Next, the crew waterproofed the basement by first removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installing our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry dehumidifier. The crew finished the job with installing our CleanSpace wall vapor barrier to give the space a bright, clean look. Janet was pleased with the results, and glad she can now enjoy a dry basement!
