American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Linda and Dick B. of Wilton, WI had water coming into their unfinished basement, and they wanted to go about renovations. They called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chuck. Chuck went to their home, carefully inspected their water leaks, and proposed a solution that worked for them. They were confident in the proposal, so they went ahead with the proposal. 

Our Foreman, Raul A., and his team installed our WaterGuard and Foamax Wall Panels. Our WaterGuard is an underground drain that leads to the sump pump, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Our Foamax is special insulation that keeps the basement dry, warm, and saves money on energy costs. Linda and Dick were very happy with the work and were looking forward to continuing their home renovations.

Travis S. of Stanley, WI had a failing foundation and wanted a full basement waterproofing system. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a no-obligation, FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac went to Travis's house, carefully inspected his basement, and determined a plan that would work for Travis and his home repair needs. Mac proposed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, Egress Window, and PowerBraces. Travis was confident in our products and their warranties, so he went ahead with the installation set up a date. 

Our Foreman, Dylon, and his production crew began the installation by installing our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is a special underground drain that prevents mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter, which is designed to prevent mold and mildew, save money on energy costs, and give the basement a bright appearance. Then, Dylon and his team installed our Egress Window, which gives the basement brightness, allows for an easy exit out of the basement, and it makes space feel larger. Lastly, our crew installed our PowerBraces, which is designed to repair and stabilize foundation walls over time. To complete the project, our crew ensured the entire space was clean, neat, and finished.

James from Stanley, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice the walls of his shed were beginning to show signs of cracking, indicating wall failure. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would face more serious wall failure down the road or water intrusion from the cracks. We set him up with our FREE estimate when he called our office. A few weeks after the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Chuck, headed out to the property to see what could be done to help fix the issue. Once he completed his walkthrough, he had a few recommendations. First, he wanted to use our Geo-Lock Channel Anchors and GeoLock Anchors to fix the cracking wall. He explained to James that our wall anchors are designed to be quick, with minimal disturbance to your home or landscaping. He went on to say that the Channel Anchors would immediately stabilize walls pushing in at the bottom by connecting to an earth anchor embedded in the soil. He then said that our GeoLock anchors help the bowing walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Matt, and his crew ended up installing 4 channel anchors as well as 13 of our GeoLock anchors around the perimeter of the shed as well as an unattached boathouse. Now James can have peace of mind knowing his shed's foundation will be stable for years to come. 

A homeowner from Stanley, WI, was dealing with a leaky, musty basement room. Each time it rained, it seemed more damage was slowly done to the room. The homeowner decided it was time to fix the issue, so he took to the internet and searched "leaky basement repairs near me". During his deep dive into local businesses, he came across our website. He was impressed with our years of service and before and after image sets and decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates. A few weeks later, one of our Design Specialists headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once our Design Specialist completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, our Design Specialist recommended the use of our CleanSpace. He explained that CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that's perfect for unfinished basement walls. CleanSpace installs quickly, with most installations taking a day or less. Once the installation is complete, your basement will be ready to use immediately. He explained that this system works to trap water entering through the walls, directing it downward to a perimeter drain, which in this case, our Design Specialist recommended to be our WaterGuard drain. This French drain is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. Installation involves removing a section of floor around the perimeter and creating a drainage trench. Sections of WaterGuard® are then placed within the trench, resting on a bed of drainage stone, and the floor is restored. This drain works to catch water entering from the CleanSpace above, as well as any water coming up through cracks in the floor. It gives this water a channel to flow to the appropriate disposal site, which in this case, is a previously placed sump pump. The homeowner liked the sound of our Design Specialist's plan and scheduled the work for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Edgar C, and his team were able to complete the work in no time. Now, our customer can enjoy his basement knowing his water intrusion issue has been solved! 

In Willard, WI a homeowner was unhappy with the way the concrete of their porch area looked after many years of being worn down from outside elements. They decided to take action and fix the problem rather than leave it untouched for another summer. Having heard some recommendations and favor towards American Waterworks and their services, they decided to give us a call and learn more. They were pleased to discover our FREE estimate service that is offered to all customers and waited eagerly for their scheduled appointment. One of our Design Specialists, Charles Haldeman, arrived at the home to take a look at what could be done. He suggested to the homeowners that our PolyLevel and NexusPro products would be the best way to tackle the problem. He explained that PolyLevel is a high-density polyurethane formula that stabilizes and lifts sinking concrete slabs. Additionally, the NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that seals joints and cracks in the concrete slabs and helps prevent the water from softening and/or eroding the soil underneath. Once a plan was in place to move forward with the two products, one of our Foreman, Sam Klennert, and his crew left for the site to make the installations. A seamless installation led to a similarly seamless concrete porch area for the homeowners.
