Before & After Photos

Holly W. of Alma, WI had water leaking into her basement, causing her to worry about damage to property. She got in contact with our office staff at American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to her home, carefully inspected her problems, and drew out the solution of our WaterGuard Drainage System, which serves as an underground drain. Holly was confident in Rick's proposal, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard. Not only does it serve as an underground drain, but it also collects water leaking from basement walls and prevents water or mud clogs during harsh weather conditions. To complete the installation, our team filled the open gaps with pea gravel and applied new concrete over them, ensuring that the basement was cleaner than when they found it. Holly was satisfied with the work that was completed!

A homeowner in Spring Valley, MN, noticed water stains on their basement floor. Unsure where the water was coming from, the homeowner wanted an expert to inspect their basement. After asking their neighborhood Facebook group, the homeowner saw several members recommended working with us. The homeowner went to our website to inspect the work we do and they were impressed with our services. Since they were already on the website, they signed up for their FREE estimate. When the appointment was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Eric, a Design Specialist. When Eric arrived at the home, the homeowner showed him where they discovered the water stains. After taking a closer look at the basement, Eric determined the basement needed a waterproofing makeover. Eric proposed that WaterGuard be installed in the basement to stop further intrusion. The homeowner decided to follow Eric's suggestions and the plans were directed to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew were assigned to the job, so they gathered their materials and made their way to the home. Upon arrival, the crew prepped the basement for installation. When they were ready, the crew installed the WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. After the WaterGuard was installed, the crew shifted their focus to attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Once the CleanSpace was attached, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful to know their basement was properly waterproofed. American Waterworks is happy to provide another homeowner peace of mind in their basement. 

A previous client of ours from Charles City, IA reached out to us after concerns that their sump pump wasn't keeping up with the demands of their basement and kept the basement feeling very damp.  

American Waterworks recommended installing our CleanSpace vapor barrier system to take control of the water and humidity and prevent any further heat loss.  We also installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump with battery backup to ensure that these homeowners never have to worry about a wet basement again.  

A homeowner in Charles City, IA was concerned when she noticed some areas of her basement were damp. She found that it had created some damage to the space, especially to the carpet in one of the rooms where there had been leaks. Rather than let the issue continue to grow, she decided to research basement waterproofing solutions. During her search she found the American Waterworks website and was interested in our FREE estimates, so she scheduled one for herself. We received her request and sent over Design Specialist Ryan Manske to the home to carry out an inspection of the area. Ryan assured the homeowner that there were solutions to repair the space and get it back to a water-free state. The homeowner was relieved to hear this and agreed to the project plans. Once the plans were approved, we sent over Foreman Lane Schlobohm and his crew to install both our WaterGuard perimeter drain system and CleanSpace wall vapor barrier. The crew carefully had both products installed and ensured they worked properly so there would be no more incoming water into the room. The homeowner was glad that she had reached out to us instead of leaving the problem and was happy with the final results.

Marilyn from Minneiska, MN got in contact with us when she began to notice a musty smell originating from her crawl space beneath her home. She wanted to fix the issue and make sure she wasn't experiencing more serious water intrusion. When she got in contact with us, we set her up with our FREE estimate, entitling her to a thorough, no-obligation inspection by a member of our Design Specialists team. Shortly after, our Design Specialist, Rick, headed out to the property to see what could be done. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make his recommendations as to how we could help. He wanted to use three of our products to seal the space, ensuring no water would penetrate it. First, he recommended a base layer of our drainage matting, a liner that rests directly on the crawl space floor, working to trap water underneath it and direct it to the appropriate disposal site. Next, Rick wanted to encapsulate the entire space in our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that this system is a durable, bright white liner that gets installed on the floors and walls of the space, and works to prevent water vapor and humidity from passing through the space. Finally, he wanted to seal all remaining cracks and holes with our SprayFoam, a durable foam that works to block any water from entering. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew ended up installing 168 sqft of drainage matting throughout the space and another 230 sqft of CleanSpace. Once the job was completed, Marilyn was happy to know she no longer had to worry about unwanted water in the space.
