Broken Sump Pump Replaced in West Union, IA
A homeowner in West Union, IA, noticed their water was not pumping out of their as much as it used to. Concerned there was a larger issue at hand, the homeowners knew they needed to find a company that would provide them with a solution. The homeowner asked a local Facebook group for any recommendations and several members recommended working with us, American Waterworks. The homeowner went to our website and was impressed with our project before and after the album. Since they were already on the website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Ryan, one of our Iowa-based Design Specialists. Ryan arrived at the home and began his thorough walk-through of the basement. During his investigation, Ryan determined the homeowner's sump pump required replacement. Additionally, Ryan recommended waterproofing the entire basement. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's recommendations, so Ryan passed the plans along to our Logistics team to build the project. Once the project was built, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Gabriel, and his crew to begin. Gabriel and his crew traveled to the home and started the project by installing WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump and replacing it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Next, the crew installed CleanSpace on the basement walls. The crew finished the project by installing an IceGuard on the outside discharge line. Gabriel and his crew successfully installed all the products, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a kind review. American Waterworks is happy to provide its customers peace of mind knowing their basement is safe from flooding.
Waterproofing Basement in Ossian, IA
A homeowner in Ossian, IA was concerned when he went down to his basement and noticed a large puddle of water that had formed on the floor. He found that the issue was coming in from multiple sides of the house and spread to cover a larger area of the floor. He decided that something needed to be done to prevent further damage to the space. He contacted American Waterworks and we set him up with one of our FREE no-obligation estimates. Once we received more information on what the problem was, we sent over Design Specialist Dustin Amenda to the home. Dustin knew just how the problem had started and explained that water could easily enter through any cracks and pores in concrete floors, like the ones in the homeowner's basement. As a solution, Dustin recommended our WaterGuard system to be installed to catch future incoming water and send it away to the sump pump. The homeowner agreed to the plans and when one of our Foremen, Jeremiah Fischer, and his crew arrived they carefully installed the WaterGuard. The homeowner was relieved to have a way to fix the problem and happy he called American Waterworks.

Radon Gas Levels Controlled in Onalaska, WI
A homeowner in Onalaska, WI, came upon our blog post discussing the dangerous health risks of radon and was worried that his family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes. He learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, a naturally occurring radioactive element that breaks down in soil. Over time, as the soil decays, it breaks down into radium and eventually turns into radon gas. Radon gas is extremely hazardous, as it is the second-leading cause of lung cancer. Soon after learning this information, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Will R., headed out to the home.
When Will arrived, he tested for radon by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. The test works to gauge and record radon levels in the home in 48 hours. Will also informed the homeowner that he would consider adding a Radon Mitigation system to the home if the test results are above 4pCi/L, which is the Environmental Protection Agency's required action level. He also explained that if the test results were not at a dangerous level, it was always good to have your home regularly tested for radon gas. Unfortunately, we cannot smell, taste, see, touch, or hear radon, which makes it extremely important to test for radon gas levels every 2 years. After a few weeks, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, and the homeowner contacted Will and scheduled the installation.
In about a month, our Foreman, Dakota M., and his crew traveled to the home for the installation. Our radon mitigation system is a large plastic pipe with an in-line fan that sucks radon-rich air beneath your foundation and spews it outdoors. After the installation, our customer was pleased to have clean air!

Full Perimeter WaterGuard Installed in Onalaska, WI
Elinor in Onalaska, WI had water leaking into her basement. She was concerned about the damage that the water was causing and interested in our French drain products, so she called us for a free estimate. One of our Design Specialists went to her home to inspect her basement and design a solution. We recommended that she have our full perimeter WaterGuard system installed to ensure that her basement would be permanently waterproofed. Elinor liked the proposal that we presented to her, so she scheduled the installation.
Our production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement. Then, they laid the WaterGuard drainage system and connected it to her existing sump pump. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is expelled from the home. Now Elinor wil be able to enjoy a dry basement for many years to come. She is glad she chose to invest in the protection of her home.
