Respected Foundation Repair & Concrete Leveling Experts in La Crosse County

Tom J. in Holmen, WI learned about the dangers of radon and decided it would be a good idea to get his home tested. He read about the services that American Waterworks provided through the newspaper and was pleased to see that we offer radon testing and mitigation. He contacted us to have a radon test kit set up in his home. Our Design Specialist, Dustin Loftus, went to his home to set the kit up and was back two days later to read the results. The results showed that the average radon in the home over 48 hours was 5.4 pCi/L. Although no amount of radon is safe, the EPA recommends the homeowner to take corrective action if the results show 4pCi/L or higher. 

Dustin thoroughly explained the radon mitigation process and why it is so important to have it installed. Tom agreed and wanted the system installed as soon as possible. We sent a crew out as soon as possible to install the system. The installation only took a few hours and Tom was pleased that he took the proper measures to protect himself and his family's health. 

According to the World Health Organization, radon causes 15% of the world's lung cancer cases and kills 20,000 people each year. Shanon R in Bangor, WI learned about the dangers of radon, so she chose to have her home tested by American Waterworks. The results showed that her home had high levels of radon, so American Waterworks walked Shanon through the radon mitigation installation process, listen to her concerns and answered her questions. Shanon was eager to get our radon mitigation system installed so her family's health would no longer be compromised.

Our crew drilled a hole through the floor in the basement to insert a PVC pipe and create a suction point for the radon gas. Then the gas is vented through the pipe and out of the home. Shanon can rest easy knowing that she took the necessary steps to protect her family from this dangerous gas.

Frances M. in Mindoro, WI had learned about the dangers of radon and her home had not been tested yet. She started looking for a radon mitigation company and found American Waterworks in the phone book.

She gave us a call to set up a FREE radon test, so we sent one of our Design Specialists to her home to install the test kit. 48 hours later, he went back to her home to read the results of the test. He found that she did in fact have high levels of radon. He recommended that we install our radon mitigation system so that her health would no longer be compromised. She agreed and wanted the system installed as soon as possible. 

We sent a crew to her home to install the radon mitigation. They drilled a hole through the concrete in her basement to create a suction point for the radon. Then they inserted the PCV pipe that the radon would be sucked through and vented out of the home. There is a fan installed at the top of the PCV pipe to ensure that the gas is pushed away from the home. The entire process only took a couple of hours and now Frances' peace of mind has been restored now that she is protected from radon gas. 

Craig S. in Shafer, MN had water seeping into his basement and his old sump pump was not able to keep up with the amount of water coming in. While looking for a local waterproofing company, he came across American Waterworks’ website and decided to contact us for a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to inspect his basement and to develop a solution for him. Chad designed a thorough waterproofing plan to ensure that Craig’s basement would remain a permanently dry space after the installation. Craig liked to proposal that Chad put together, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system on the basement floor. They also installed a SuperSump sump pump and our CleanSpace wall system around the entire basement. The WaterGuard properly guides water to the sump pump, which then pumps the water through the discharge line to the outside of the home. The CleanSpace wall system is a vapor barrier that protects the basement from any moisture seeping in and the potential of mold growth. The combination of these waterproofing products has made Craig’s basement a dry, clean and brighter space. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Craig is confident that he chose the right waterproofing solution to protect his basement for the long-term.

Mike W. of Ghent, MN had water leaking in his basement pretty severely, causing him to worry about the value of his home. He went to the Marshall Spring Home and Outdoor Living Show and came across American Waterworks waterproofing products. Our Design Specialist, Shane Nephew, told him about our FREE Estimates and Mike hopped on the offer. After a thorough inspection in Mike's basement, he was comfortable with Shane's proposal, so they set up an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his production crew began the project by jack hammering a trench around the perimeter of the basement floor. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete, making the basement look neater than when they found it. Mike was grateful we were able to help him, and his basement needs!

Basement windows are usually made with steel or wood frames, and as they age, they break down and rust, decay, or attract corrosion. As they break down, they also become a leaking issue and your home loses conditioned air in the home, causing your energy costs to increase. 

A homeowner in West Salem, WI was having these problems and wanted to get them replaced. Thankfully, they knew our Design Specialist, Tim. Tim went to their home, inspected their windows, and proposed our EverLast Replacement Basement Windows. The homeowner got all of her questions answered about the product and its features, so they scheduled a day to get the windows installed. 

Our Foreman, Matt, and his production team broke out the pre-existing windows and replaced them with our EverLast Replacement Basement Windows, which are energy-efficient, vinyl-framed, double-paneled, and only take about 1-2 hours to install.
