Premier Contractor in Hudson for Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

A homeowner in Hudson, WI, noticed water was leaking in along the footing of his basement and was concerned that it would lead to irreversible water damage to his home. The homeowner began researching basement waterproofing services in the area and discovered our website. After reviewing our reviews, before-and-after photos, and products, the homeowner contacted us to schedule a FREE basement waterproofing estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Michel R., arrived at the home for inspection. He explained to the homeowner that one of the most common causes of water leaking through the footing of the home is a failed footing drain. When this fails and becomes clogged with debris, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation and enters the home. To fix this issue, Michel recommended WaterGuard, our drainage system that rests on the foundation of the home, preventing soil and debris buildup,  CleanSpace, our vapor wall barrier that prevents vapor from permeating the walls, SuperSump+, our elite sump pump system that removes up to 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in case the sump pump pipes freeze. After reviewing Michel's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to his recommendations and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Jesus C., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 10ft of WaterGuard and CleanSpace, 1 SuperSump+, and 1 IceGuard. After the crew was done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner from Hudson, WI, had just purchased a home with a radon mitigation system already placed. From what the homeowner could tell, the system wasn't plugged into anything and, therefore, was not doing anything. Try as he might, he could not locate the original installers of the system and thus began looking into radon system repairs near Hudson, WI. He quickly found our website and signed up for one of our FREE estimates. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ross J, was headed out to the home. When Ross arrived, he met with the homeowner and informed him that if he was worried about radon gas, Ross would recommend completely replacing the system with our radon mitigation system. The homeowner was unsure about full replacement and admittedly didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas. So Ross explained that radon is a radioactive gas that is emitted from the breakdown of soil surrounding a home's foundation. It creeps into the home through small holes and cracks in the foundation. The gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, thus making it completely undetectable without the proper testing. Ross went on to say that the Environmental Protection Agency recommends action with any level higher than 4 pCi/L as the gas is known to alter the lining of the lungs, eventually leading to the formation of lung cancer. The homeowner was grateful for Ross's transparency and decided to install a new system. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Dakota M, and his crew were out at the home. They swiftly and effortlessly installed the new radon mitigation system, successfully restoring our customers faith in his newest investment! 

A homeowner in Hudson, WI, knew their sidewalk was in trouble after discovering it was beginning to overlap one another. Unsure what caused this issue, the homeowner wanted to find the answer. Knowing they did not want to fully replace the sidewalk, the homeowner began looking into concrete lifting options near them. At the top of the list was American Waterworks. The homeowner took a look at the concrete lifting projects we have completed, and they knew we provided the perfect solution for them. After signing up for their FREE estimate, the homeowner waited to meet their Design Specialist, Gary. Soon after, Gary arrived at the home and started his detailed inspection of the struggling sidewalk. Following his investigation, Gary determined the sidewalk was sinking because of settlement. To stop the settlement from continuing, Gary recommended lifting the sidewalk using our PolyLevel solution. The homeowner agreed with Gary's suggestions and the plans were passed along to our Foreman, Patrick, and his crew. After receiving the plans, Patrick and his crew made their way to the home to begin the PolyLevel installation. The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of the concrete. The crew started by strategically drilling small holes throughout the slab. Then, the crew inserts ports into those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew shifted their focus to filling the crack. The crew utilized NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro Sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the wonderful work completed by the crew.

A homeowner in Hudson, WI was outside enjoying his front yard space when he noticed how much his concrete spaces had changed over the years. Not only did these sinking and cracking problems look unsightly, but they most likely would continue to get worse if left alone. The homeowner decided that it was time to make a change, so he went online to look up concrete repair companies near him. One of the top results from his search was the American Waterworks company. He looked through the products and services we offered and decided to sign up for a FREE estimate with us to learn more from one of our experts. We sent over Design Specialist Kyle Peters to the home later to talk through things and inspect the concrete himself. Kyle had worked with similar problems before and knew just what the concrete needed to be restored. The homeowner trusted his judgement and agreed to the project plans. Our Foreman, Sam Klennert, and his crew later arrived at the site, ready to carefully install the products. They began the project by drilling small pencil-sized holes throughout the front walkway and driveway apron. Then, they inserted ports inside the holes to reach the empty space below the slabs. Our PolyLevel foam was injected through the ports to fill in the empty space and lift the slabs back up. Next, they used NexusPro joint and crack repair sealant to fill in the holes again, the joints in between the slabs, and the crack that had formed in the walkway slab. To finish the project, the crew sprinkled a layer of native sand on top of the sealant for a smooth finish. The homeowner loved the results and was happy he found our company to help him out with this project.

Don G. in Hudson, WI had uneven concrete on his front porch and realized that it had become a trip hazard. He started researching concrete repair contractors and was interested to learn more about the PolyLevel option that American Waterworks offers. He contacted our office and we set up an appointment for a free estimate with one of our Design Specialists. After his estimate he decided that PolyLevel was the best option for him.

We sent one of our PolyLevel experts to his home to install the foam injection. The PolyLevel foam injection is a faster and more affordable alternative to repair concrete. A penny-sized hole is drilled into the concrete and foam is injected where the concrete needs to be raised. Once injected, the foam expands and lifts and levels the concrete. The process only took a couple of hours and Don is pleased that he no longer has a trip hazard on his front porch.
