Waterville, IA Top Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Contractor

A homeowner in Waterville, IA, knew it was time to repair the water-damaged basement. Knowing it was going to be a large project, the homeowner knew they needed professional assistance. The homeowner asked a county Facebook group for any recommendations, and many members of the group recommended working with American Waterworks. The homeowner took a closer look at our company and was impressed with our ratings and reviews. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once their estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan to the home. Ryan arrived at the home and started a thorough investigation. Once he wrapped up the estimate, Ryan was able to determine that the basement needed a waterproofing transformation. Ryan provided a proposal that would solve all the basement concerns. After deliberating all their options, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Ryan's proposal. Next, Ryan sent the. proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Once the Logistics team gave the final stamp of approval, the plans were assigned to our Foreman, Luis, and his crew. Luis and his crew traveled to the home and started the project by installing WaterGuard. 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 system. Next, the crew shifted their focus to installing CleanSpace on the unfinished basement walls. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof plastic vapor barrier that prevents humidity and mold growth. The crew installs CleanSpace by mechanically attaching them to the basement walls with plastic drilled-in fasteners. Finally, the crew completed the project by installing SmartJacks along the sagging floors. SmartJacks is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. Additionally, SmartJacks are made with strong, corrosion-resistant, galvanized steel. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the eye-catching transformation. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today! 

Having a wet or damp basement can create more than a headache. Problems like this can cause bigger issues such as mildew, structural damage, wood rot, mold, and health problems.

Homeowners in Waterville, IA had a wet basement, causing them to worry about the safety and value of their home. They got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowners' house, carefully examined and diagnosed their basement, and determined a solution that would fit their wants, needs, and budget. After a clear diagnosis, the homeowners were confident in our proposal of our WaterGuard Below-Floor System, so they signed the contract, wrote out a deposit, and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team started the installation by jackhammering out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, which has easily accessible service ports when it comes time for annual maintenance, prevents water clogs, and collects water waste from basement walls. To finish the installation, our team filled the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete over them.
