Mark D. of Fall Creek, WI had water leaking into his basement during heavy rainstorms, causing damage to personal belongings. He got in contact with American Waterworks after being referred by one of his peers. He called our office line and requested a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to Mark's house, inspected his basement, and proposed a solution. Mark got all of his questions answered and was confident in the solution, so he went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman and his team broke out the pre-existing window and replaced it with our Egress Window, which is designed to provide a safe exit out of the home, more natural light to the basement, and more liveable space. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the entire wall perimeter, which is a vapor protectant designed to prevent water from seeping into the basement and save money on energy costs. To complete the installation, our Foreman provided the homeowner with a thorough walkthrough of the space and ensured his expectations were met.

A homeowner in Hixton, MN, was distressed after discovering water sitting on their basement floor. Wanting someone to visit their home immediately, the homeowner frantically looked for a solution. After hearing about our quick response time, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. After arranging the appointment with our Appointment Specialist, the homeowner prepared for Mac, one of our Design Specialists, to arrive. Once Mac arrived, he began his investigation to find the source of the issue. When Mac completed the inspection, he determined that the entire basement needed to be waterproofed, and the foundation needed to be stabilized. Mac told the homeowner about these findings and provided them with a recommended plan. The homeowner agreed with these recommendations and production began. Once a crew was assigned, they traveled to the home to start production. After they arrived, they began by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew shifted their focus to digging a feedline to connect to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. Finally, the crew moved their focus to installing CarbonArmor strips along the north wall. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home.

A homeowner in Sparta, WI, heard an odd noise coming from their basement. Unsure of the source, the homeowner knew they needed to investigate. After taking a closer look, the homeowner discovered the noise was coming from the sump pump. Worried this was a sign of a larger issue, the homeowners knew they needed to find a professional to provide them with answers. The homeowner looked into the "home sump pump repair near me" and at the top of the list was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our elite sump pump lineup, the homeowner knew we were the perfect choice for their home. Next, 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, Chuck. A few days later, Chuck arrived at the home, introduced himself to the homeowner, and began the detailed inspection of the basement. Chuck began inspecting the sump pump and confirmed it needed to be replaced. Additionally, Chuck recommended installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter and attaching exterior waterproofing products. Once he wrapped up the inspection, Chuck presented his findings and a solution to the homeowner. After hearing Chuck's proposal, the homeowner knew this was their best plan of action. Next, Chuck passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logisitcs team gave the final stamp of approval, then the project was scheduled for the following month. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. First, Kiko and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. Finally, Kiko and his crew shifted outside and attached an IceGuard to the outside discharge line. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home.  The homeowner was relieved to know their home was properly secured and safe from future water intrusion. American Waterworks is happy to give their homeowners peace of mind. 

Heather C. in Sparta, WI had water leaking into her basement through her foundation wall causing damage to her home. She contacted American Waterworks, and one of our waterproofing experts, Rick Weber, designed a thorough solution. Heather was impressed with the solution, so she chose to move forward with the installation.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to create a trench for the WaterGuard. After installing the SuperSump sump pump and laying 182 feet of the WaterGuard, they replaced the concrete and installed the Foamax wall panels. Foamax is an advanced polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel designed to prevent condensation and make the basement a more comfortable space. Water is now properly expelled from the home and the walls have been permanently stabilized. Her basement is now a stable, dry and clean space. 

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.
