American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Sam in Arkansaw, WI had three cracked and bowing walls in his basement. He was concerned about the pressure this was putting on his foundation, and he wanted to have his walls repaired before the problem got any worse. After visiting a local home show and talking with one of our Design Specialists, he decided to have us inspect his foundation and provide him with a FREE estimate. Our Specialist recommended that we install wall anchors on two of the walls and PowerBraces on the other. Sam agreed that this was the best solution for him, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production crew installed the wall anchors by drilling small holes through the block foundation into the soil surrounding the home. Then, they dug small holes in the yard that lined up with the anchor rods, and they secured them from the outside and inside of the home with anchor plates. They tightened them as far as they would go to permanently stabilize the wall. Next, they installed the PowerBraces, which are strong steel I-beams that are secured by brackets that are drilled into the floor and the rim joists. These two foundation repair products not only permanently stabilized Sam’s foundation, but they also provide the potential for his walls to straighten back to their original position.

Kristine I. of Arkansaw, WI had severe water problems in her basement, making her worry and want to get it under control. She got in touch with our office staff and got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Chuck Haldeman. Chuck went to Kristine's house, inspected her water problems, and determined a solution. Kristine was confident in his solution, so she signed the contract. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the installation by installing our Foamax Wall Panels around the entire basement wall perimeter. Our Foamax provides comfort to the home and saves money on energy bills while making the walls look clean and bright. It also reduces condensation due to moisture protection. Next, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, followed by the discharge line. Our TripleSafe provides three layers of protection, solves all three water problems in one unit, and comes with a battery back-up. Our battery back-up keeps the system running in case of a power outage or failure. The purpose of the discharge line is to allow water to escape the home without invading the foundation wall. Kristine was happy with the work that was done and had a great experience from start to finish!

A homeowner in Arkansaw, WI, was worried their foundation was suffering after discovering the walls were damp. Instead of letting the issue worsen, the homeowners knew they needed to get professional assistance. After doing some quick research, the homeowner's eye was caught by our high reviews and ratings. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the appointment was made, they sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete, to the home. Pete arrived and he began his detailed inspection. Following his inspection, Pete recommended that a small section of the basement be fully waterproofed. The homeowner agreed with Pete's recommendations and the plans were sent back to the office for approval. Once they were approved, they were sent to our Foreman, Francisco, and his crew. When they arrived, Francisco and his crew started by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the small room. Once the WaterGuard was secured into place, the crew shifted their focus to installing CleanSpace on the basement walls. After the CleanSpace was secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their water intrusion risk was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to assist another homeowner. 

Katie W. in Waukon, IA noticed that she had cracks in her foundation and water was seeping through the cracks into her basement. The water had started damaging her personal items in her basement, and she was concerned that the damage to her basement was only going to get worse. She started looking for a waterproofing contractor in the area and she came across the American Waterworks website. She was glad to see that we have over 29 years of experience in the waterproofing industry. She contacted us to receive a free estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. She was pleased with the proposal that we developed for her, so she scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system in her basement and two lateral lines through the middle of the floor. We also installed our TripleSafe sump pump system- which is our most reliable sump pump. The drainage system properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Katie can rest easy knowing that she chose the right solution to protect her home for the long-term.
