After the most recent series of thunderstorms, a homeowner in Ridgeway, IA, noticed their basement was suffering from significant water damage.

One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our waterproofing services. Impressed with our stellar reviews, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal choice for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to request their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Ryan. A few days later, Ryan traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Ryan noted that the homeowner's basement was suffering from water damage. To prevent the water damage from continuing, Ryan recommended securing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Ryan to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Raul, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection of the basement. First, Ryan began by installing WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. As soon as all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. If you notice your home is experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

A homeowner in Ridgeway, IA, noticed their basement was suffering from water intrusion. Worried this issue would worsen in the spring, the homeowner knew they needed to find a professional to provide them with a solution. The homeowner looked into "waterproofing services near me," and the first company to populate was us, American Waterworks. After seeing our impressive before and afters, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and awaited the arrival of our Design Specialist. Once the Design Specialist arrived, they began the thorough inspection of the basement. The Design Specialist found several areas that were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent this issue from worsening, the Design Specialist recommended waterproofing the entire basement. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the proposal. Next, the homeowner and Design Specialist worked together to pick the best installation date. Our Logistics team assigned our Foreman, Arturo, and his crew to the project. Next, Arturo and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, they installed WaterGuard around the basement perimter. 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 TripleSafe. The crew installed a feedline across the floor to connect the TripleSafe to the new WaterGuard. Once the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. If you are suffering from a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

Todd Teslow in Ridgeway, IA had water seeping into his basement between the cracks where the wall met the floor. He was left with a mess after each heavy rainfall and he decided that he needed to call American Waterworks. He had previously met one of our Design Specialists at a local home show and was impressed with our company, so he scheduled a free estimate. Our Design Specialist, Mac Cole, created a well thought out plan to waterproof his basement with WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump.

Our crew started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor and laying our WaterGuard drainage system. They also installed a TripleSafe sump pump in the corner of the basement and connected it to the drainage system. They filled back the gaps in the floor with rock and then replaced the concrete. Water is now properly guided through the WaterGuard, into the sump pump, and then discharged from the home. Todd is now enjoying a dry, healthier basement!
