Before & After Photos

Jen and Don T. of Fulda, MN had water leaking from their basement walls, causing them to worry about water damage and flooding hazards. They reached out to American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to their home, inspected their problems, and came up with a solution that worked for them. Jen and Don were confident in Dylan's proposal of our WaterGuard Drainage System, so they went ahead with the installation. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard, which serves as an underground drain in connection with the sump pump, prevents water and mud clogs, and collects seeping water from basement walls. To complete the installation, Tremaine and his crew filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Jen and Don were happy with the project and had a great experience from start to finish! 

A homeowner from Dundee, MN, was at a home improvement store one day when he spotted an at-home radon gas testing kit. He didn't know much about the dangerous gas but decided to test his home nonetheless. He was surprised when the test came back with higher than normal levels. The homeowner was uneasy about his family breathing in the gas and decided to consult a specialist about the problem. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Kevin B, one of our Design Specialists, was headed to the home. 

Knowing the home had high radon levels, Kevin focused his inspection on finding a good space for a mitigation system, should the customer want to move forward. When he finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner. He explained that radon gas is a radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of soil around your home's foundation. It finds its way into your space through holes and cracks in the foundation, silently wreaking havoc on the lining of the lungs. Kevin went on to say that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking, claiming 21,000 lives annually. Kevin could tell the homeowner was growing uneasy, so he reassured him that while the situation was serious, American Waterworks could help. Kevin strongly urged the homeowner to address the problem with our radon mitigation system. He explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. He went on to say that, when installed by an experienced professional, a mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon in the interior of the home to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was relieved to know that Kevin had a solution for his household. He needed a few weeks to think about the project but ended up calling Kevin to schedule an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Geno M, and his team arrived bright and early on the day of the project and got right to work. When they had finished installing the system, our homeowner was thrilled to know that his home was well on the way to circulating fresh air! 

A homeowner in Bellingham, MN was in his basement space when he noticed how much damage the floors had in one of the bedrooms. Upon closer look, the damage was only around the perimeter of the bedroom and hadn't spread too far into the rest of the room. The homeowner was eager to find a solution before the problem did get worse, so he started his research. Online he searched, "basement waterproofing companies in my area," which is how he found the American Waterworks website. He decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates to learn more about our work. Design Specialist Ryan Powell arrived at the home ready to carry out an inspection and offer his recommendations. He informed the homeowner that waterproofing the basement room would be the best plan and the homeowner agreed to the recommended installations. When our Foreman, Francisco Escamilla, and his crew went to the site they installed a Waterguard basement drainage system and a new SuperSump pump. Afterwards, the basement was water-free and clean once again. The homeowner was impressed with how efficient the crew was and thanked them for their hard work.

Nancy S. in Currie, MN contacted American Waterworks after being referred to us by a previous customer. She had been struggling with a wet basement and water-damage to her home. She wanted to find a permanent solution, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, who designed a unique solution for her home. 

Our Foreman, Cory Sather, and his crew installed 84 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system, 30 feet of feed line, and our SuperSump sump pump. Then, they replaced the concrete and cleaned up their work area. The drainage system now properly guides water to the sump pump and from there, the sump pump pushes the water through the discharge line and expels it from the home. Nancy is pleased with the results and glad her basement is now a dry, healthy space. 

Brad C. in Minneota, MN had water seeping into his basement and had noticed his basement was drastically colder than the rest of his home.

Along with a full waterproofing system, Dylan recommended that we install our Basement to Beautiful panels to insulate Brad’s basement.
