Dylon VanCanneyt from American Waterworks

Sue A. in Sparta, WI was tired of dealing with a wet basement after heavy rains and snow melt. She had an older basement, and the water was seeping in through the small cracks where the wall meets the floor. She contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to meet with her and evaluate the situation. Rick designed a thorough plan and assured Sue that our waterproofing system would provide a permanent solution. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production crew were able to successfully waterproof Bryan’s basement by first removing the concrete around the inside perimeter of the basement. Next, they installed 78 feet of our WaterGuard drainage System and our SuperSump sump pump. Then, they installed two feet of our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls, filled the gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. Water is now guided through the WaterGuard, to the SuperSump, and is quietly, and efficiently discharged from the home. Sue was thrilled with the results, and glad she chose to invest in a permanent solution for her home.  

Bill M. in Chippewa Falls, WI had an old, open sump pump that wasn’t working properly. He had water leaking into his basement, making it a wet, musty space. He contacted us for a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to evaluate the situation and propose a solution. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his crew installed 164 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system and 101 feet of feed line through the middle of the floor. The WaterGuard will now collect and guide water to our recommended TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe is equipped with a main pump, backup pump and battery-powered pump to ensure the basement stays dry all the time. Bill is happy with the results and can rest easy knowing he found a permanent solution.

Lori B. in Rochester, MN contacted American Waterworks after realizing that the foundation of her home was failing. She wanted to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dustin Loftus, to inspect her home and provide her with a solution. Dustin developed a thorough plan to permanently restore her foundation.

Using wall anchors, our production crew drilled small holes through the failing block foundation and into the soil surrounding the home. In order to straighten the wall, they had to dig out the soil pushing against the foundation. They secured each end of the metal rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they would go. This process gradually straightened the foundation wall, and permanently secured it. Having wall anchors installed saved this foundation from failing altogether and saved the homeowner from the expenses of a full foundation replacement.

Melissia T. in Mason City, IA was suffering from a flooded basement and a severely damaged foundation. Melissia called American Waterworks in hopes that we could come to her home soon and install our waterproofing system and repair her foundation.

She enjoyed working with Dylan and she was pleased with his plan to restore her basement, so they scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his crew started installing our waterproofing system by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laying our WaterGuard drainage system.

The combination of these waterproofing products ensure that water will be properly discharged from her basement and that it will remain a dry and healthier space. Then, they installed 5 PowerBraces along the damaged foundation wall to halt any further movement and stabilize it. PowerBraces also provide the potential to straighten the wall as they are tightened over time. Melissia was pleased with the results and is glad she chose to invest in the protection of her home.
