Challenge

A homeowner in Decorah, IA, noticed their basement was leaking water and the sump pump was not running properly. Uncertain of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "basement specialists near me", and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. 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, Ryan.

Solution

A few days later, Ryan traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Ryan noted that several areas were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the water intrusion from continuing, Ryan recommended securing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with the homeowner to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Jesus and his crew began by securing WaterGuard, a perimeter drain system, along the basement walls. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe sump pump. Finally, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. If you notice your home is experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
