Ossian, IA's Honest Damp Crawl Space & Flooded Basement Professionals

A homeowner in Ossian, IA, tripped walking into their home one evening. Concerned this could become a serious issue, the homeowner began looking into "concrete leveling services near Ossian, IA". One of the first companies to populate was us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our award-winning concrete lifting and leveling services, the homeowner knew we were the perfect company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Brad. Next, Brad traveled to the home to begin the estimate. Brad promptly arrived and started his thorough inspection of the concrete. After taking a closer look, Brad noticed their concrete was sinking into the ground, which caused the heave. To prevent the heave from continuing, Brad recommended using PolyLevel. After hearing about the benefits of PolyLevel, the homeowner knew this was their best plan of action. Once the homeowner gave the green light, Brad passed the plans along to our Logistics team to schedule. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project for a few weeks later. Once the project date arrived, our crew was sent to the home to begin the PolyLevel installation. After they arrived, they made sure the concrete was ready for 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. After the PolyLevel installation was complete, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the excellent work completed, so they left a kind review.

A homeowner in Ossian, IA was concerned about his basement space when he had recently been in the space and noticed a large amount of water had made its way into the basement. He didn't know what to do next, but knew it was most likely better to take action than let it sit and cause further damage. When he went online to find basement waterproofing solutions, he found the American Waterworks name. He became interested in our FREE no-obligation estimate services and signed up for his own. When we received his request, we sent over Design Specialist Dustin Amenda to take a closer look at the areas of concern and give his expert recommendations. Dustin informed the homeowner that in order to stop the water intake and prevent future water-related issues in the basement, a new sump pump and drainage system should be installed. The homeowner trusted Dustin's judgment and agreed to the suggested products and plan. When our Foreman, Jeremiah Fischer, and his crew arrived at the site, they began the project by jackhammering channels along the perimeter of the basement. Next, they filled the channels with drainage stone, our WaterGuard drain system, and more clean stone. They also installed a new SuperSump Plus pump and a feed line was connected from the drain system to the pump so the incoming water would be safely taken up and out of the home. To finish the project, the crew layered concrete around the areas to keep the newly installed products in place and protect them. The homeowner was glad to have a water-free basement back and relieved that he didn't let the problem get worse.
