Bill and Linda W. in Nelson, WI contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our advertisements in the newspaper. Their driveway and walkway along their house had settled, creating a trip hazard. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Michel Ramirez, to meet with Bill and Linda, evaluate the situation, and propose a unique solution. After his inspection, Michel was able to recommend our PolyLevel and NexusPro products. Bill was glad to learn that our PolyLevel concrete repair solution is a durable, faster and more affordable option than traditional concrete repair. They approved of the plan and moved forward with the project.
Our Foreman, Brandon Wiskow, lifted several of the walkway and driveway sections through use of PolyLevel - a two-part, high-density polyurethane foam. Pencil-sized holes were drilled through the concrete, and foam was injected to lift the sinking slabs back to their original height. Then, he caulked and sealed the cracks with our NexusPro sealant to protect the concrete and give it a nice, finished look. Trip hazards were effectively removed, and the process avoided the unnecessary action of replacing the concrete. Bill and Linda were impressed with the installation, and thrilled that they can enjoy a level walkway for years to come!
A homeowner in Nelson, WI, knew it was time to repair their severly cracked and separating back patio. Hoping to avoid total replacement, the homeowner looked into "cracking and uneven patio repair near me". At the top of the list was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our concrete lifting services. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist. The Design Specialist promptly arrived at the home and began inspecting the exterior concrete. During the inspection, the Design Specialist confirmed the sidewalk was suffering from settlement. To prevent the issue from worsening, the Design Specialist recommended lifting and repairing the cracks throughout the patio. The homeowner agreed and worked with the Design Specialist to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Ryan, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Ryan and his crew started by installing PolyLevel below the damaged slab. Once the PolyLevel was secured, the crew shifted to repairing the cracks and joints with NexusPro, a silicone-based solution. After both products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.

Jeremy from Glenwood City, WI got in touch with us when he began to notice unwanted water entering his basement. He was afraid that if left untreated, the problem would worsen and cause serious damage. When he called in we set him up with our FREE estimate and shortly after our Design Specialist, Mac, headed out to the property to see what could be done. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make his recommendations as to how we could help fix the issue. Mac wanted to use three of our products to rid the space of water. First, he wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier to redirect water. Mac explained that this tarp-like material gets installed directly onto basement walls and works to direct the flow of water down to his second recommendation, our WaterGuard French drainage system. He went on to say that the WaterGuard is installed below the concrete flooring and works to direct water to the appropriate location. For that location, Mac recommended a SuperSump sump pump. He explained that this effective and economic solution is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for an extended period of time, even in times of heavy water intrusion, as it's capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after.
Our Foreman, Raul, and his team ended up installing 78 ft of our WaterGuard drainage system, 1 SuperSump sump pump, and another 78 ft of our CleanSpace. When the job was complete our customer was happy to know he no longer had to worry about water entering his basement.
In Glenwood City, WI, a homeowner learned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US and can be found in homes. Concerned their family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner decided to test the radon levels in their home. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, and the homeowner knew it was time to get a radon mitigation system installed. Impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE radon inspection.
In less than a week, our Design Specialist arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, they took a close look at the layout of the home and determined the best placement for our radon mitigation system. They recommended having the system connect through the sump pump and having the fan installed at the exterior of the home. Happy with the recommendations, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.
In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by installing PVC piping through the sump system. Then the fan is installed at the exterior of the home. These are then connected, and additional piping is attached from the fan to the roofline. This is installed this way so that our system can suction out the radon-rich gas and expel it above the roofline before it can enter the home. Once they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.
Now, our customer can have peace of mind! Looking for radon mitigation testing or installation? Schedule your FREE estimate today by clicking HERE!
Shonna L. in Rollingstone, MN had water seeping into her basement and her old sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water coming in. Her basement had become a damp, musty and unlivable space. She was tired of dealing with a wet basement, so she started to research waterproofing contactors in her area. She found the American Waterworks’ website and was impressed by our extensive waterproofing knowledge. She had us out to her home to look at her basement and provide her with a free estimate. After inspecting her basement, our Design Specialist, Dustin Loftus, was able to develop a thorough and unique plan to waterproof her basement. She was pleased with his proposal, so they set a date for our production crew to install the waterproofing system.
Our production team started the installation by removing the old sump pump and the concrete around the perimeter of her basement where the WaterGuard drainage system needed to be laid. They installed our TripleSafe sump pump, which is our most reliable sump pump. The WaterGuard properly guides the water leaking into her basement to the sump pump. Then, they replaced the concrete over the drainage system and around the sump pump. 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 Shonna can rest easy knowing her basement will always be protected. She is glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her home.
