American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Minnesota City, MN, noticed an odd odor around their home. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner investigated around their home. After taking a closer look, the homeowner discovered the smell was coming from their crawl space. To prevent their issue from continuing, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner investigated “crawl space repair near me”. One of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist, Darin. A few days later, Darin arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the crawl space. After he completed the inspection, Darin confirmed that the crawl space needed to be fully encapsulated. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Darin’s proposal. Next, Darin sent the plans to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logisitcs team built and scheduled the project, then it was sent to our Foreman to begin preparations. Our Foreman, Juan, and his crew began the installation. First, the crew made sure the space was cleared, then they laid the Drainage Matting. Once the Drainage Matting was secured, the crew installed CleanSpace on the floors and walls. Finally, the crew wrapped up by cleaning up their materials. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their crawl space was properly encapsulated.

A homeowner from Milltown, WI, was dealing with an outdated sump pump. The sump would continually cycle, even when there was no rain. The homeowner grew tired of repeatedly hearing the pump cycle, so he decided to look into other waterproofing solutions for his basement. After perusing the internet, he found our website. Impressed by our basement waterproofing before and after pictures, he signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Daniel R, one of our Design Specialists in the homeowner's area, stopped at the house to evaluate the issue. 

Daniel took his time with his inspection. When he was done, he met with the homeowner to inform him that he believed that there were three products in our inventory that he believed would fix the problem. First, Daniel recommended the installation of our WaterGuard. This unique french drain system gets installed below the slab of the basement floor and atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain works to collect water entering from holes and cracks in the floor, giving it a channel to flow to the sump pump. Because of the severe deterioration of the old sump pump, Daniel recommended the use of our TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe sump pump is our most reliable sump on the market, providing three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. For normal functioning, the TripleSafe has a powerful, cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. For heavy volumes of water, or in case of primary pump failure, the TripleSafe boasts a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 horsepower pump set a bit higher in the liner. Finally, Daniel informed the homeowner that even homes with comprehensive waterproofing systems can still develop moisture and mold problems and could even feel damp. Concrete walls and floors continually absorb moisture from the soil and release it into the air in your basement, and store-bought dehumidifiers simply aren't strong enough to solve the problem. For this reason, Daniel recommended our AprilAire dehumidifier. Adding an Aprilaire dehumidifier creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days when set to 50% RH. The homeowner agreed with Daniel's recommendations and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jeremiah F, led his team through the successful installation of 132ft of WaterGuard, 1 TripleSafe pump, and 1 AprilAire dehumidifier. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing his waterproofing issue is solved!
