A homeowner in Lake City, MN, knew it was time to repair their water-damaged basement.

Knowing they needed a professional, the homeowner began looking into a "basement floor drainage system". After looking through the companies, one stood above the rest: American Waterworks. Impressed with our eye-catching before and afters, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company to provide them with a solution. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Mac. Mac promptly arrived at the home and started the thorough inspection when the appointment date. During the inspection, Mac confirmed the water was leaking through the basement walls. To stop this issue from worsening, the homeowner recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommendations. Next, Mac passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Once the plans were approved, the project was assigned to our Foreman, Raul, and his crew. The project date arrived, so Raul and his crew traveled to the home to start the installation. First, Raul and his crew installed WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. After the WaterGuard was secured, the crew began installing the new sump pump. Raul and his crew installed the TripleSafe in the correct position. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is properly secured and safe. 

A homeonwer in Stacyville, IA, worried their basement was suffering from water intrusion. Concerned that their basement was in serious trouble, the homeowner began looking into "waterproofing services near me". At the top of the list was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner took a closer look at our previous projects. Once they saw our excellent workmanship, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate details were finalized, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Mac. The following week, Mac arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the basement. During his inspection, Mac saw several areas that were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the issue from continuing, Mac recommended installing WaterGuard and replacing the current sump pump. After hearing the recommendations, the homeowner knew this was their best option. Next, Mac passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Once the plans were approved, our Logistics team assigned the project to our Foreman, Raul, and his crew. A few weeks later, Raul and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Raul and his crew started by installing WaterGuard along the basement walls. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to installing the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their leaky corner was properly repaired. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is properly secured. 

A homeowner in Ellsworth, WI, went into their basement when they discovered standing water. Alarmed by this discovery, the homeowner knew they needed to get a second opinion. After asking their local Facebook group, several members recommended working with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. When the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Rick, one of our Design Specialists. When Rick arrived at the home, he began doing an in-depth analysis of the basement. Rick discovered that the water came from the footing of the walls. Once he found the source of the issue, he could provide the homeowner with a suggested solution. Rick recommended installing several waterproofing products to prevent any further issues. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed. After receiving the stamp of approval, our Foreman, Kevin, and his crew traveled to the home to install the products. First, Kevin and his crew installed the WaterGuard around the perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew installed and secured the TripleSafe sump pump. Finally, the crew attached an IceGuard to the outside discharge line. Once all the products were installed, the crew put the basement back together. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is glad to provide another homeowner peace of mind in their home. 

A homeowner in Ossian, IA was concerned when he went down to his basement and noticed a large puddle of water that had formed on the floor. He found that the issue was coming in from multiple sides of the house and spread to cover a larger area of the floor. He decided that something needed to be done to prevent further damage to the space. He contacted American Waterworks and we set him up with one of our FREE no-obligation estimates. Once we received more information on what the problem was, we sent over Design Specialist Dustin Amenda to the home. Dustin knew just how the problem had started and explained that water could easily enter through any cracks and pores in concrete floors, like the ones in the homeowner's basement. As a solution, Dustin recommended our WaterGuard system to be installed to catch future incoming water and send it away to the sump pump. The homeowner agreed to the plans and when one of our Foremen, Jeremiah Fischer, and his crew arrived they carefully installed the WaterGuard. The homeowner was relieved to have a way to fix the problem and happy he called American Waterworks.

A Plainview, MN, homeowner noticed that each time it rained, he could see tiny droplets of water entering his basement walls and eventually resting on his basement floor. Not wanting the issue to persist, he reached out to American Waterworks, as we had done work on his home before. He called our office to claim a FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan K, headed to the home. 

Ryan took his time inspecting the basement, and when he finished, he met with the homeowners to deliver his recommendations. Ryan explained that because of how and where the water was entering, he was recommending two of our products to address the problem. First, Ryan wanted to install our WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. He explained that our WaterGuard is a unique French drain that gets installed below the floor slab but atop the footing of the foundation of the home. This way, the drain stays out of the mud zone, where other drains of its kind tend to clog. It works to collect water entering through the floor and the wall, directing it to the appropriate disposal site. Because the homeowner had a previous system installed, Ryan informed him that the WaterGuard could be connected to their existing sump pump. Next, Ryan wanted to use our CleanSpace to address the water entering through the wall. This 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier is the perfect solution for unfinished basement walls. The plastic-like material gets adhered directly to the walls, and works to direct water down into the WaterGuard, and eventually to the sump pump. The homeowner liked that the new recommended system could work with the previously installed sump pump, and decided to schedule the project for several weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Production team, led by their Foreman, Jorge M, installed 150 ft of WaterGuard and 146ft of CleanSpace throughout the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy their dry, healthy space!
