Before & After Photos

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI was worried about her basement when she went downstairs and noticed her floors had gone through some water damage. She didn't know what the next best step was for her basement, but knew she needed a professional's insight on the issue, so she went online to look for a basement waterproofing company. She was pleased to see that American Waterworks offered services for her area of Wisconsin because her family had a positive experience with us in the past. She decided to sign up for a FREE no-obligation estimate with us to learn more and was later greeted at her home by Design Specialist Chuck Haldeman. Chuck inspected the basement and found the water damage on the wooden flooring that the homeowner was concerned with. He explained that our WaterGuard basement drain system would be the perfect solution for her situation and it would prevent future water problems from happening. Our Foreman, Jeromy Anderson, and his crew went to the site to carefully carry out the installation of the drains and the homeowner was very pleased with the final results.

A Wisconsin homeowner was growing frustrated with the state of the basement. A few weeks prior, he had been walking around his lower level when he stepped in a wet patch of carpet. He ripped up the carpeting to find that water was seeping into his basement. Worried about what this could mean about the health of his home, he decided to search for Wisconsin basement waterproofing companies. When he came across our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Dustin A, headed out to the property. 

Once Dustin completed his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Dustin began by saying that the homeowner was right to get in touch with us. He went on to say that he wanted to use three of our products to address the water intrusion. First, Dustin wanted to utilize our Foamax Wall Panels.

Foamax is a polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel with a white foil finish on the front and foil vapor barrier on the back. The wall insulation panel offers multiple benefits and high-performance features such as high insulation value, creating a warmer space, brightening your basement, doesn't require the basement to be finished, and draining wall leaks to premiere drainage systems. To complement this product, Dustin recommended our WaterGuard. This modern below-floor drain catches the water directed from the CleanSpace and any seepage entering through the floor. Then, it carries the water to an appropriate disposal site, which in this case, Dustin wanted to be our TripleSafe sump pump. This pump is the most reliable system, boasting three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. The homeowner liked the sound of Dustin's plan and scheduled the project to be installed several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Jorge M, and his team ended up installing 1 TripleSafe sump pump, 165 ft of WaterGuard, and 165 ft of Foamax. Now, our customers can enjoy a warm, dry, and healthy space!

A La Crosse, WI, homeowner had noticed an odd smell coming from his crawl space beneath the home. He was concerned about what this could mean for his home, so he quickly took to the web to search for best crawl space repair near me, and when our website popped up, he decided to sign up for a FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Dustin L, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. After Dustin completed his inspection, he was ready to meet with the homeowner to discuss remedies for the problem. Dustin recommended two of our products to address the moisture in the space. First, Dustin wanted to cover the crawl space walls with our CleanSpace crawl space vapor barrier. This durable, bright white crawl space liner is installed on the walls and floors, preventing water vapor and humidity from passing through. By keeping your crawl space dry, you protect your structure and insulation from mold and rot. With a 25-year warranty against rips and tears, this durable 20-mil poly-reinforced crawl space liner converts your crawl space into a usable storage area. And with its mold-resistant additive "UltraFresh", CleanSpace® will never support mildew or mold growth on its surface. Next, Dustin explained that crawl space liners rest directly on the crawl space floor. If your crawl space is flooding, water can be trapped underneath, never making it to your perimeter drain. The raised dimples on our CleanSpace® Drainage Matting gives the water flooding into your crawl space a channel underneath your crawl space liner. This directs the water flooding your crawl space to your perimeter crawl space drain and sump pump. The homeowner agreed with Dustin's recommendations, and several weeks later, the project began. 

Our Foreman, Jesus M, led his team through a precise, clean installation. Now, our customer can rest easy knowing that his crawl space is protected!

Kris R. in Oelwein, IA was suffering from a wet basement. She had been dealing with this challenge for a couple of years and was ready to find a long-term solution. She contacted American Waterworks, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, to her home to inspect the basement and develop a solution. She was impressed with our products and agreed with the proposal, so she set a date to have our waterproofing system installed.

Our production team installed the WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor and connected it to the TripleSafe sump pump that we installed. After the drainage system and sump pump were installed, we replaced the concrete and cleaned the work area. The installation took two days to complete, but now her peace of mind has been restored and she is confident that her basement will remain dry.

Cheryl M. of Maynard, IA had a single-paneled, steel-framed window in her basement that was starting to rot. Our Service Technician, Darin, was out at her house for annual maintenance on her sump pump system. He noticed that her window was musty and flaky, so he proposed our EverLast Replacement Basement Windows. Cheryl got all of her questions answered about the product, so she signed Darin's proposal. 

Our Foreman, Hugo, and his production team began the project by breaking out the pre-existing window and replacing it with our EverLast Replacement Basement Window. These windows are vinyl-framed, energy-efficient, and have much more protection than steel-framed windows. To complete the installation, Hugo applied a special sealant around the window, which keeps moisture out and helps prevent any future flooding. Cheryl was happy with the work that was done!
