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.

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI had noticed the sunken concrete at the front of her driveway, but never did anything about it. After the long winter and spring months, she decided that it was time to take action and fix the problem while the weather was nice out. She started her research on concrete repair companies in the surrounding areas and found the American Waterworks website where she was pleased to find so many positive reviews from past customers. She decided to schedule a FREE estimate with one of our experts to learn more about the process. We sent over Design Specialist Ross Johnson to the home to provide her with more information and a solution to the problems. Ross assured her that we could fix the issue and have the concrete raised in no time. The homeowner was happy to hear this and agreed to the installations and to move forward with the process. One of our Foremen, Sam Klennert, and his crew arrived at the site for installations, beginning by drilling small penny-sized holes into the concrete. Next, they inserted ports through the holes to reach the empty space below the concrete surface and injected the PolyLevel through the ports. Our PolyLevel solution carefully raised the concrete back to its original height so there were no more bumps or unevenness. Finally, the crew filled in the holes and joints between the slabs with our durable NexusPro sealant and a layer of native sand on top for a pleasing final look. The homeowner was thrilled with the results and the saved concrete in her front driveway.

In Holmen, WI a homeowner was tired of his driveway being uneven. Not only was it unpleasant to look at and negatively affected the home's curb appeal, but it allowed for the buildup of water at the top. He wanted to look into finding a concrete repair company that could help him out and make sure the concrete slanted towards the sidewalk for future water to flow down. He found the American Waterworks name during his search of solutions and found that we offered FREE estimates, so he signed up for his own. We got the homeowner's request and sent over one of our expert Design Specialists, Brad Williams, to the home where he carried out an inspection of the driveway. Brad recommended two of our products to solve the problems to the homeowner and he agreed to move forward with the plans. The next steps involved our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his crew prepping for the installations and gathering their materials together. When they arrived at the site, they began the process by drilling small holes throughout the concrete slabs. They inserted ports through the holes to reach below the surface of the concrete and filled it in with PolyLevel solution. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. Once the PolyLevel was finished, the crew filled in the holes and joints with our NexusPro durable sealant. To finish the project, they laid a small layer of native sand on top of the sealant for a smooth and clean look to the driveway. The homeowner was glad to have the problems fixed and be rid of water pooling up on his driveway.

In La Crosse, WI a homeowner was enjoying his driveway space in the newly warm weather when he noticed just how large the gap was in between his garage floor and driveway. He checked the area closer and was curious about if something could be done to fix the problem. The homeowner had work done by American Waterworks in the past, and continued to have a yearly appointment set up for them to check in. He knew that this year's appointment was coming up and decided to save his questions for that time. When the day came, our Service Technician, Clay Bassingthwaite, arrived at the home to carry out the inspection. Clay listened to the homeowner's concerns and assured him that we had the best solution to fix the issues. The homeowner was glad we had recommendations for next steps and agreed to the plans. We sent over Foreman Ryan Trogstad and his crew to carry out the installation of NexusPro, an efficient and durable silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks. The crew carefully injected the needed areas with the NexusPro and smoothed it to a finish with a layer of native sand. The result was a very happy homeowner and evened out concrete areas in the driveway once again.

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI became worried about her basement space after a heavy rainfall from the night before. Sure enough, when she went downstairs to check on it, there were multiple puddles of water at the base of the walls. The water had already caused some damage and she didn't know what the next best step was for the issue. Not wanting the problem to happen again when it rained, she decided to find a solution. Looking online for wet basement restoration services, she found our American Waterworks company. She was eager to get a fix sooner than later, so she signed up for a FREE estimate with us to get started. When Design Specialist Brian Ramirez went to the home, he explained that the reason there was so much water intake in the space was because of the small cracks in pores in the concrete flooring. While these areas were small, they caused major problems when it came to incoming water. Brian knew just what to do for the basement and the homeowner agreed to his installation plans. One of our Foremen, Jeromy Anderson, and his crew arrived at the site and began the project by jackhammering channels along the perimeter of the basement and placing drainage stone inside. Then, they installed the basement WaterGuard drain system followed by more clean stone. A new TripleSafe sump pump was placed in the chosen location and surrounded by clean gravel. Next, the crew fastened our CleanSpace to the walls, which acts as a barrier between the basement and walls and directs incoming water to the WaterGuard. Finally, a layer of concrete was poured in the remaining gaps to protect the newly installed products and keep out dirt and debris from entering. Once everything was cleaned up and the crew ensured the products worked properly, they left the site. The homeowner was pleased with the final results and relieved to have a waterproofed basement.

A homeowner in Bangor, WI was tired of her driveway being disconnected from the garage and wanted to find a solution for it. She was interested in restoring parts of the concrete but wasn't looking to fully replace the driveway. Keeping this in mind, she went online to find a solution that was both effective and wouldn't break the bank for her. During her search, the American Waterworks website popped up and once she learned of our FREE no-obligation estimate offers, signed up for her own. Our Design Specialist, Romeo Vilai, went out the home to talk things through with the homeowner and prepare his recommendations for the driveway. He explained that the reason the concrete had sunken was likely because of soil washout. When water moves though the ground under the driveway, it can begin to wash away the supporting soils that hold it up. The homeowner was surprised to hear this and trusted his plan to fill in the void underneath. When the time for installations came, our Foreman, Patrick Burnes, and his crew began the project by drilling small pencil-sized holes throughout the driveway. They inserted ports through the holes and injected our PolyLevel foam inside to fill in the empty space below the driveway. Once the slabs were lifted back up and were connected to the garage again, the holes were filled with NexusPro sealant. The NexusPro was also used to fill in the joint between the garage floor and driveway. The crew sprinkled some native sand on top for a smooth finish to the driveway project. The homeowner was so excited with the results and knew she would recommend our services to her friends and family.
