In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Ryan M., arrived at the home to assess the basement, answer any questions, and provide the best solution for the homeowner.

A homeowner in Osage, IA had some concerns about the old sump pump in her utility room because she had checked it recently and noticed there was waste inside. She knew this wasn't a good sign, so she went online in hopes of finding a waterproofing service in her area. The American Waterworks company website stood out to her because of our 3 sump pump system and FREE no-obligation estimates, so she signed up for her own. One of our Service Technicians, Julio Murillo, later arrived at the home to inspect the current sump pump and prepare his recommendation. Julio suggested that our TripleSafe sump pump system be installed because it is the most reliable water pumping system with triple the protection of a normal pump. The homeowner was relieved to hear that something could be done and agreed to the installation. Later, one of our Foremen, Diego Barrientos, went to the site to carry out the installation. The homeowner was impressed with the work our team members did and glad she had contacted us for help on this project.

A homeowner from Osage, IA, was dealing with an issue in his basement. Each time it rained, the homeowner could see water trickling down the wall, creating a pool of water at the base of the wall. The homeowner took to the internet to search for 'leaky basement repair near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. He was impressed with other work we had done in his area and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the home. When Ryan arrived, he wasted no time getting down into the basement to evaluate the space. Upon conclusion, Ryan met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Ryan commended the homeowner for taking action. He explained that leaky basements don't get better over time, in fact, they only worsen and become more costly to fix down the road. He went on to say that he had a plan for the basement. He began by recommending our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets adhered directly to the unfinished walls, functioning to direct water entering through the wall downward and into our WaterGuard, Ryan's second recommendation. WaterGuard is a unique French drain that is installed below the basement floor around the perimeter of the basement. It sits atop the footing of the foundation for optimal water flow. This drain acts as a channel for both the water trickling down the wall behind the CleanSpace, and water entering through the floor joints, directing it to the appropriate disposal site. While Ryan had been in the basement, he noticed that the basement lacked a means of disposing of unwanted water, so his final recommendation was our TripleSafe sump pump, the most reliable pump in our lineup. This powerful pump offers three levels of protection for both your basement's health and your peace of mind. The homeowner was impressed with Ryan's proposal and plan for the space and decided to move forward with scheduling. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Arturo M, and his team installed 97 ft of WaterGuard, 97 ft of CleanSpace, and 1 TripleSafe sump. Now, our customer can head into the first melt of Spring with confidence that his basement is properly defended against unwanted water!
