American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Plainview, MN, was down in her basement one day when she noticed some old cracks on the wall had begun to worsen. She was concerned about what the cracks worsening could mean. One of her close friends just so happened to be one of our Design Specialists, Darin S. She confided in him about her worries for her home, and he reassured her that he could assess the situation and see what could be done. 

On the day of her FREE inspection appointment, Darin made sure to do a thorough sweep through the basement, paying close attention to the cracks the homeowner was the most worried about. He informed her that foundation walls are designed to support loads from above, not the side. When the pressure on your walls exceeds their ability to withstand the force, they will begin to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt inward at the top. Darin went on to say that while this information might seem daunting, he was confident that our GeoLock wall anchors were the correct choice to restore the wall. Wall anchors can counteract soil pressure by anchoring the wall to the stable, undisturbed soil beyond your home's foundation. Darin finished by saying that after the installation was complete, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner was thrilled with Darin's approach to the issue and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jesus C, led his team through a successful installation of 5 GeoLock anchors in the basement of the home. Now our customer is relieved knowing that her foundation worries are in the past! 

A homeowner in Plainview, MN, noticed that her current sump pump is out of date and unable to properly eject water during heavy storms. Knowing that a sump pump system is the best line of defense for a dry basement, the homeowner began searching for basement waterproofing in the area and found our website. After browsing our website and growing impressed with our products and 5-star reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Darin S., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner. During the inspection, Darin ran a few tests with the sump pump system and confirmed that it is broken. Darin then recommended our SuperSump+, which is capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water, and IceGuard, an anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to leave in case the sump pump pipes freeze. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed with Darin's suggestions, and his design was sent to our Foreman, Diego B.

In a couple of months, Diego and his crew arrived to install our SuperSump+ and 2 IceGuards. The installation was a complete success, and the crew ensured it was working properly before cleaning up and leaving the home.

A homeowner in Elgin, IA had a dirt floor crawl space. She was interested in having it encapsulated, because she noticed that she was losing heat and energy from the space and moisture had started accumulating in there. We sent one of our Design Specialists to meet with her, evaluate the situation, and propose the best, custom designed solution to fit her needs. She was impressed with the presentation and our products, and she moved forward with the installation.  

Our production crew installed our installed CleanSpace along the dirt floor and spray foam insulation in the rim joists. The combination of these products ensure the crawl space will remain a clean, energy efficient space. It also protects the crawl space from any moisture building up and improves the air quality in the home.

A homeowner in Beldenville, WI, worried that the radon levels in their home were dangerously high. Unsure of the causes, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner began looking into "radon mitigation experts near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Gary. On the appointment date, Gary promptly arrived at the home and began with a radon test. Once the radon test was completed, it showed that the levels were alarmingly high. To prevent these levels from worsening, Gary recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System in the home. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Gary to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman promptly arrived at the home and began the installation. Each of our Radon Mitigation Systems is designed differently, depending on the structure of the home. The forces need to be redirected from the "stack effect". Then, the radon gas is redirected and vented away from your home. Next, the radon entry points are sealed, and the final system checklist is performed. Once the Radon Mitigation System was secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.
