American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Brandon R. in Lewiston, MN had learned about the dangers of radon gas and decided that he needed to get his home tested. The test results showed a high level of radon. So our Design Specialist, Mac Cole, walked Brandon through the radon mitigation installation process and answered his questions. Brandon wanted to act quickly so his family's health would no longer be compromised, so he had the system installed as soon as possible. 

Our crew drilled a hole through the floor in the basement to insert a PVC pipe and create a suction point for the radon gas. Then the gas is vented through the pipe and out of the home. A fan is also installed at the top of the PVC pipe where the gas is vented out to ensure that the gas is pushed away from the home. Brandon now has peace of mind knowing that his family is protected from this dangerous gas.

According to the World Health Organization, radon causes 15% of the world's lung cancer cases and kills over 20,000 people each year. If you have not gotten your home tested for radon, click here to set up an appointment!

Darlene D. in Spring Valley, WI had water seeping into her basement and her old sump pump was not able to keep up. She started looking for a waterproofing company and she came across American Waterworks in the phone book. She saw that we offer free estimates, so she gave us a call. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to her home to inspect her basement and provide her with a solution. Darlene was pleased with the proposal that Chad developed, so she scheduled a date for the installation.

Our production team installed WaterGuard along the north perimeter of her basement and a feed line that leads under the concrete, to the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump is our most reliable sump pump. Water seeping into the basement is now guided through the WaterGuard and feed line, to the sump pump. From there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is protected by a lifetime warranty, so Darlene can rest easy knowing that her basement will remain dry!

A homeowner from Spring Valley, WI, was down in the basement of his home one evening when he realized one of his basement walls was showing signs of bowing inward. He had no idea who to call about the issue, so he immediately took to the internet and searched 'structural foundation repair near me.' He quickly found our website and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac, was headed out to the home. 

When Mac arrived, he got right to work assessing the home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner. He began by saying that there are numerous causes of foundation failure but that he believed we had a solution to the problem. Mac wanted to use our CarbonArmor wall reinforcement straps. Mac explained that CarbonArmor straps are a quick, affordable way to stabilize block and poured concrete walls that have cracked and that are showing signs of bowing.  The super strong carbon fiber straps are attached to the wall with epoxy and halt further movement or cracks. The homeowner liked Mac's plan and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jesus C, led his team through the successful installation of 13 CarbonArmor straps throughout the basement. Now, our customer can put his foundation worries behind him!

Does your wall seem like it's bowing inward? Might be worth claiming your FREE estimate with American Waterworks to rule out any serious foundation concerns! 

Homeowners in Elkader, IA wanted to get a sump pump installed in their garage because they were worried about groundwater leaking through the floor. They requested a FREE Estimate with our office staff for one of our Design Specialists to come out to their home and take a look. We proposed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump we provide for homeowners. They were confident in our proposal, product, and warranty, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman and his team cut out the concrete floor with a jackhammer, forming a hole for the sump basket, followed by the pumps. Our TripleSafe Sump Pump System comes with three levels of water protection and solves all three problems in one system. To complete the work, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it, ensuring the space was neat and clean. The homeowners were grateful they made this investment and no longer have to worry about groundwater!

Bob W. of Luana, IA had water leaking through the floor of his basement, causing him to worry about damage to property and his downstairs bathroom. He got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to his home, carefully inspected his water leaks, and drew up a solution that worked for him and his home repair needs. Bob was confident in our proposal and felt confident in our products and warranties, so he went ahead 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 System, which prevents water clogs, serves as an underground drain, and collects water leakage from basement walls. Next, our team broke out half of the wall around the entire basement wall perimeter and installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which prevents the build-up of mold and mildew, covers any holes or divots, and serves as a protective blanket, while also saving money on energy bills. To complete the project, our team filled the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Bob had a great experience with our team and was happy with the work that was performed! 

Along with basement waterproofing, we also perform services in foundation repair, sump pump systems, crawl space repair/encapsulation, radon testing/mitigation, egress windows, and radon testing/mitigation. Call us today or click HERE to request a free estimate!
