Wet Basement Repair & Basement Waterproofing in Glenwood City, WI

In Glenwood City, WI, a homeowner learned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the US and can be found in homes. Concerned their family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner decided to test the radon levels in their home. After a couple of days, the test results were above 4pCi/L, and the homeowner knew it was time to get a radon mitigation system installed. Impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted us to schedule their FREE radon inspection.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection. During the inspection, they took a close look at the layout of the home and determined the best placement for our radon mitigation system. They also explained how radon is created by the breakdown of soil beneath the home. It then enters through weak points in the foundation. When inhaled over a long period of time, it increases the risk of lung cancer. After explaining this, our Design Specialist began working on a detailed solution. They recommended having the system connect through the sump pump and having the fan installed at the exterior of the home. Happy with the recommendations, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by installing PVC piping through the sump system. Then the fan is installed at the exterior of the home. These are then connected, and additional piping is attached from the fan to the roofline. This is installed this way so that our system can suction out the radon-rich gas and expel it above the roofline before it can enter the home. Once they were done with the installation, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Glenwood City, WI, knew it was time to have their water damaged basement repaired. Knowing this was a larger project, the homeowner looked into "basement waterproofing near me". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, 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, Chuck, to take a closer look. Chuck arrived at the home and started his detailed inspection. During the inspection, Chuck confirmed water was leaking from the basement walls. Additionally, Chuck noticed their upstairs floors were sagging. Chuck recommended installing several waterproofing products and securing the sagging floors with SmartJacks. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with Chuck's recommendations. After the homeowner approved the proposal, Chuck passed it along to our Logsitics team. Next, our Logsitics team built and scheduled the project for the following months. Once the plans were finalized, the crew assigned it to the appropriate crew. After the project date arrived, our crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, the crew started by cleaning the space for installation. Next, the crew installed WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. The WaterGuard is a below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. The crew installs the WaterGuard by digging channels around the perimeter of the basement floor. Once the channels are dug, the crew can go ahead and place the drainage stone in the channels. The WaterGuard is then placed on top of the stone and covered with cement. Once the WaterGuard is in place, the crew could shift their focus to removing the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. The crew installed a feedline across the floor to connect the SuperSump+ to the new WaterGuard. Next, the crew shifted their focus to installing SmartJacks in the basement. SmartJacks is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. Additionally, SmartJacks are made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. Finally, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.
