American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Brad C. in Minneota, MN had water seeping into his basement and had noticed his basement was drastically colder than the rest of his home. He contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our waterproofing solutions, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, to his home to provide him with an inspection and FREE estimate. Along with a full waterproofing system, Dylan recommended that we install our Basement to Beautiful panels to insulate Brad’s basement.

Our Basement to Beautiful wall panels are the superior choice for a dry, energy-efficient basement. They are designed with advanced SilverGlo graphite-infused foam insulation, which provides 24% more energy savings than conventional foam products. They create a warm, protective blanket around the basement that will never rot or support mold growth. Thanks to our waterproofing system and these Basement to Beautiful wall panels, Brad is now enjoying a healthier, more comfortable home, while saving money on heating costs!

A homeowner in Minneota, MN, had noticed water seeping through the joints between the wall and floor of their basement. Knowing the issue would not fix itself, the homeowner began searching for basement waterproofing in the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, our Sales Manager, Shane N., arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, Shane examined the areas in the basement where water intrusions were present. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Shane recommended installing WaterGuard, our below-the-floor drainage system, CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier system, SuperSump+, our reliable sump pump system, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line. After reviewing Shane's recommendations, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project. 

In a couple of months, our Foreman, Lane S., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 65ft of WaterGuard, 61ft of CleanSpace, 1 SuperSump+, and 1 IceGuard. After the successful installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

David K. in Tracy, MN had some cracking and severely bowing basement walls. He was concerned about the stability of his home and knew he needed to have a professional take a look before it was too late. He contacted American Waterworks after he saw our sign in his neighbor’s yard. He met with one of our Design Specialists who determined that the foundation walls had moved inward due to the expansive soils and hydrostatic pressure put on the walls from outside. 

Our production crew was successfully able to stabilize David’s foundation by installing 11 PowerBraces around the foundation of the home. They started the installation by securing brackets into the floor as well as the rim joists. Then, they installed the PowerBraces into the brackets and tightened them as far as they could go. PowerBraces do not require outside excavation so it is less invasive than other foundation repair options. The PowerBraces not only permanently stabilized David’s foundation, but they also provide the potential for his walls to straighten back to their original position.

A Tracy, MN, homeowner was chatting with his neighbor one day when he learned that his neighbor had his home tested and mitigated for dangerous radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangers of radon gas, so he decided to find a radon specialist in Minnesota close to Tracy. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate.

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Tony B, was headed out to the home. When Tony arrived, the first article of business was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test records radon levels in the home over a 48-hour timeframe, delivering the average radon level after the test. Tony explained to the homeowner that the Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action with any radon levels higher than 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter of air). He went on to say that, should the levels return higher than normal, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider a radon mitigation system, explaining 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. He finished by saying that when installed by an experienced professional, a mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was thrilled with Tony's recommendation but decided to wait until the test came back to make a decision. 48 hours later, Tony was back at the home to read the results, which came back well above 4 pCi/L. The homeowner and Tony worked together to find the best installation date. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota M, led his team through a flawless radon mitigation system installation, successfully restoring the customer's peace of mind in the air circulating the home!

A homeowner in Cooperstown, ND had a settling foundation, causing them to worry about the stability and structure of their home. They got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully inspected their problems, and drew up a solution that worked for them and their home repair needs. Our Design Specialist proposed our Helical Pier System, which is a system that creates a solid supporting base that transfers the weight of the house downwards to strong supporting soils. The homeowner was confident in the solution and its warranty, so they went ahead with the repairs and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by removing the oil from where the piers were going to get installed. Then, our team mechanically screwed the helical pier sections into the soil. Once the piers met their proper depths, our team positioned the brackets below and against the foundation footing. The weight of the house was then transferred through the helical piers to the compact soil. To complete the project, our team ensured their workspace was neater than when they found it.
