American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Tim B. of Hawkeye, IA had water leaking in the corner of his basement, causing him to worry about water and structural damage. He did some research online and came across American Waterworks and our basement waterproofing products. He liked what he saw and appreciated that we provided FREE estimates, so he scheduled an estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to his home, examined his basement, and put together a solution. Tim was confident in the proposal, so he set up a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the corner of the basement with a jackhammer, forming a hole. Inside the hole, our team installed our SuperSump Sump Pump System, followed by the discharge line. Our SuperSump is designed to keep basements clean and dry for long periods of time. The purpose of the discharge line is to drain water away from the home. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them.

Following a heavy thunderstorm, a homeowner in Hawkeye, IA, noticed their basement was suffering from water damage. Uncertain of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a proper solution. The homeowner looked into "best basement waterproofing near me", and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal choice for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, AJ. A few weeks later, AJ traveled to the home to begin the estimate. During the inspection, AJ noted that several areas were struggling from water damage. To prevent this issue from worsneing, AJ recommended securing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with AJ to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Juan, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Juan and his crew started by securing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their basement was properly waterproofed and repaired.

A homeowner in Mazeppa, MN was experiencing moisture and high humidity in his crawl space. Our team installed a vapor barrier system that transformed the homeowner's crawl space into a drier, healthier and more energy efficient space.

A homeowner from Mazeppa, MN, was chatting with his neighbor one morning when his neighbor informed him that he had his home tested for radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangerous gas but decided perhaps he should have his home tested as well. His neighbor had told him that American Waterworks offers radon testing in MN, so the homeowner decided to call us and schedule his FREE estimate. In the meantime, the homeowner headed to his local home improvement store to buy an at-home radon test. When the results came back high, he was confident that he had made the right choice by contacting American Waterworks. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac C, headed out to the home. He started the appointment by scouting the best place for a radon mitigation system for this home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner. Mac began by explaining that the homeowner had done the right thing by testing his home and calling us. Mac went on to say that the tricky thing about radon is that because it's odorless, colorless, and tasteless, it's impossible to know whether or not your home is infested without proper testing. Mac then went on to say that because the levels in the home were well above 4 pCi/Ls, he was recommending a radon mitigation system be installed in the home. He then 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 plan and scheduled the job for some time later. 

Eventually, the day of the installation rolled around. Our Foreman, Dakota M, was able to successfully install the radon mitigation system without any worries. Now, our homeowner can be confident that only the healthiest air is circulating in his home. 

Greg B. in Hugo, MN had two bowing walls in his basement. He had noticed the bowing was getting worse over time and he was concerned about the pressure it was putting on his foundation, so he started to look for a foundation repair contractor.

He found American Waterworks’ website and was happy to see that we have many years of experience with foundation repair. He contacted us to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his problem and find a solution. Chad developed a thorough plan to stabilize the walls with a combination of both wall anchors and wall braces. Greg liked the proposal that Chad developed, and he felt we were a good fit for his needs, so they scheduled a date for the installation.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew installed 9 wall braces along one of the walls and 5 wall anchors on the other. The combination of these foundation repair products straightened, and stabilized Greg’s foundation. The project took a couple of days, but Greg can rest easy knowing he invested in a permanent solution to his foundation problem.
