American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Darla from Saint Lucas, IA, needed a solution for her basement water issues. After looking around, she went on the American Waterworks website, and we set her up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to his home to inspect the space and devise a solution. Darla got all of her questions answered and was confident in Ian's proposal, so she moved forward with the project. 

First, Foreman, Jeromy and his production crew started the installation by completing a full-wall demo and then breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System along the East and South walls of the basement where issues were present. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. To complete the WaterGuard project, Jeromy and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Our team also worked to provide the space a more finished, insulated, and durable feel by installing our ZenWall™ Insulated Panels. The ZenWall™ panels provide insulation, waterproofing, and a finished appearance for basement walls. This patented system is ideal for homeowners interested in a more comfortable, energy-efficient basement. Are you having water problems in your basement?

A homeowner in Roseau, MN had cracked and inward bowing walls in their basement, making them feel uncomfortable living in their own home. They did some research on our website and came across our foundation repair products. They called our office line to learn a bit more and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to their home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After a detailed and thorough diagnosis, the homeowner was comfortable with the proposal, so they moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team began the project by digging four holes in front of the home. Our team inserted a long, metal rod from the inside foundation wall to each hole outside of the home. Next, our crew tightened and screwed on a GeoLock Wall Anchor on the end of each rod in the soil to anchor itself there and brace the foundation wall. Lastly, Matt and his team installed and tightened four of our GeoLock Channel Anchors inside of the foundation wall, which are made to straighten cracking and bowing walls over time. To complete the project, our crew backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. The homeowner was thrilled with the work, and had a great experience!

A male homeowner in Roseau, MN had water leaking through the walls of his basement, causing him to worry about water moisture and other water damages. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to his home, inspected his problems, and came up with a solution that fit his needs and budget. The homeowner was confident in our proposal and presentation, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which prevents water clogs, serves as an underground drain that joins with the sump pump, and collects water seepage from basement walls. To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. The homeowner was happy with the repairs and had a great experience from start to finish! 

Noland H. in Calmar, IA had an unfinished basement with a dirt floor. He had water seeping up through the soil and through the limestone foundation. It was his goal to remodel the home, but he knew he needed to waterproof his basement before doing so. A few of his neighbors recommended that he contact American Waterworks, so he called us for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialist, Pete Wangen, went to his home to inspect his basement and design a solution. Noland liked our waterproofing products and enjoyed working with Pete, so he decided to move forward with the installation.

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the basement walls. The combination of these waterproofing products has made Noland’s basement a dry, brighter and healthier space. Noland is happy he chose to protect his basement before starting the remodel.

A homeowner in Calmar, IA, disliked the appearance of their cracked and uneven driveway. Knowing they could not solve the issues themselves, the homeowner began looking into driveway repair options in the area. The homeowner remembered that their annual maintenance appointment was coming up, so they made sure to mention their concrete issues. We sent one of our Service Technicians, Kyle, to the home to complete the annual inspection. After Kyle arrived, he inspected the previously installed waterproofing equipment in the basement. Once he completed his inspection, the homeowner showed him where their concrete was struggling. Kyle noticed that the sidewalk and driveway were suffering from settlement. To stop the sidewalk settlement from continuing, Kyle recommended lifting the sidewalk and driveway back to its original level. The homeowner agreed with Kyle's suggestions and the plans were sent to our Foreman, Sam, and his crew to begin the project. Sam and his crew traveled to the home and started by lifting the driveway and sidewalk using PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. After the driveway and sidewalk were lifted, the crew shifted their focus to filling and replacing the joints throughout the area. The crew used NexusPro Joint Sealant, a silicone-based sealant, to replace all the joints. After the joints were replaced, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Wateworks is happy to provide homeowners with the best service.
