Before & After Photos

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. 

A homeowner in Altura, MN became worried about his basement when his daughter had informed him that her floors were damp. He looked into the problem himself and found exactly what she had said. Not wanting the damage to worsen if water continued to make its way into the home, he decided to find a solution. Online he found the American Waterworks company name and once he saw some of their before and after photos from past waterproofing jobs, he signed up for one of the FREE estimate appointments. The homeowner was greeted by Design Specialist Nick Skillman, who inspected the entire basement and gave his recommendations. Nick found other areas that also had some water damage and he suggested that the whole basement be waterproofed. The homeowner agreed and wanted to move forward with the plan for installations. One of our Foremen, Arturo Mares, and his crew later went to the site to install the WaterGuard basement drainage system. WaterGuard works to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away safely to the pump. The homeowner was so glad that a solution had been found and that he no longer had to worry about water entering the space.

Nancy K. in Riceville, IA was fed up with the water seeping into her basement. It was making the space damp and musty, and she was concerned about the health implications. She contacted us for a FREE estimate after seeing one of our commercials on TV. We sent our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, to meet with Nancy, evaluate the situation, and propose a customized solution for her home. She approved of the plan and moved forward with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production crew got to work and began the waterproofing project by first removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement to make a trench for our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump, spray foam insulation in the rim joists, and Foamax insulated panels on the walls. They completed the project with the installation of our SaniDry XP dehumidifier to take care of any humidity. The combination of these waterproofing products ensure Nancy’s basement will stay healthy, clean, and dry! 

Dean F. of Riceville, IA had water in his basement and he wanted to get it looked at before it got any worse. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Josh. Josh went to Dean's home, took a look at the water problems, and offered some options for Dean that would fit his needs and budget. He was confident in Josh's presentation and proposal, so he went ahead with the repairs and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Aaron, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which prevents water clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and works hand in hand with the sump pump in order to pump water out of the basement quickly and efficiently. To complete the project, our team filled each floor gap with pea gravel and applied new concrete over it. The project went great and Dean was happy with the work!

Vicki M. of Mondovi, WI was having lots of water issues in her basement, making her worry about heavy thunderstorms.
