A homeowner from Zumbrota, MN, had recently learned about the dangers of radon gas and the hazards it poses to a household. He was afraid that his loved ones were being exposed to this hazardous gas, so he decided to find a radon mitigation specialist in Minnesota. After finding our website, he looked through our radon gas mitigation pictures and decided to claim his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac C, was headed out to the home.
When Mac arrived, he discovered that the homeowner had conducted an at-home radon test, which indicated higher-than-normal levels. So, Mac began his process by scouting out the best location for a mitigation system. When he was finished, he met with the homeowner. He began by saying that the homeowner was right to call us, explaining that radon is invisible, odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it completely undetectable without proper testing. Mac went on to say that because the levels in the home were so high, he recommended 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 Mac's approach and signed on the spot.
When the day of the project rolled around, our Foreman, Dakota, led his team through a flawlessly executed radon mitigation system installation.
In Newport, MN, a homeowner had found an article that went over radon gas. They learned that radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is created from the breakdown of soil beneath the home. When inhaled over a long period of time, it increases the risk of lung cancer. Concerned their family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner decided to purchase a radon testing kit. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, and the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate.
In less than a week, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, they took a close look at the layout of the home and determined the best placement for our radon mitigation system. They recommended having the fan installed on the exterior of the home and having it connect to the concrete floor in the basement. Happy with the solution, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.
In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. Once the radon mitigation system was successfully installed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Dana and Carol S. of Lime Springs, IA were experiencing water leaking into their basement as well as cracking in their foundation walls. One of their contractors recommended American Waterworks to complete the job. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our sales manager, Eric Fox. Eric went to their home, inspected the problem, and came up with a solution. Dana and Carol were comfortable with Eric's proposal, so they went ahead with the project.
Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor with a jackhammer and formed a trench. In the trench, our team installed 142 feet of our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity growth, and it acts as an extra wall protectant. It also gives basements a neat and clean appearance. Then, Hugo and his crew installed 21 of our PowerBraces on the CleanSpace. Our PowerBraces are made to stabilize failing basement walls and straighten them out over time. Lastly, our team applied spray foam around the ceiling perimeter to provide extra insulation and to keep heat inside the basement. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Dana and Carol had a remarkable experience from appointment to installation, and their peace of mind has been restored!

A homeowner in Lime Springs, IA, was concerned with the large cracks found on their garage floor. Since they store heavy-duty equipment, the homeowner knew they needed to have this issue resolved. The homeowner wanted to find a concrete repair company near them, so they asked some friends and family if they had any suggestions. The majority of them recommended the homeowner to us, American Waterwork. Interested in our company, the homeowner took a closer look at what our company had to offer. Impressed by our concrete repair services, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Michel, one of our Design Specialists. Soon after Michel arrived, he began investigating the garage floor. Following his thorough investigation, Michel determined that the cause of the cracks was the concrete sinking. To stop the sinking, Michel recommended lifting and leveling the garage floor. The homeowner agreed with Michel's recommendations and production commenced. Our Foreman, Brandon, arrived at the home to begin repairs. First, Brandon lifted the sinking sections of concrete using the PolyLevel. Once the concrete slabs were raised, Brandon filled the large cracks using the NexusPro Crack Repair. Once the cracks were repaired, Brandon could clean up his materials and leave the home. American Waterworks is happy to assist another customer.
