Before & After Photos

A Tracy, MN, homeowner was chatting with his neighbor one day when he learned that his neighbor had his home tested and mitigated for dangerous radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangers of radon gas, so he decided to find a radon specialist in Minnesota close to Tracy. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate.

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Tony B, was headed out to the home. When Tony arrived, the first article of business was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test records radon levels in the home over a 48-hour timeframe, delivering the average radon level after the test. Tony explained to the homeowner that the Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action with any radon levels higher than 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter of air). He went on to say that, should the levels return higher than normal, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider a radon mitigation system, explaining 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 finished by saying that when installed by an experienced professional, a mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was thrilled with Tony's recommendation but decided to wait until the test came back to make a decision. 48 hours later, Tony was back at the home to read the results, which came back well above 4 pCi/L. The homeowner and Tony worked together to find the best installation date. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota M, led his team through a flawless radon mitigation system installation, successfully restoring the customer's peace of mind in the air circulating the home!

Jenny L. of Cooperstown, ND had a deteriorating foundation wall that was starting to collect water. She contacted our office to discuss her problems and schedule a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen, went to her home, carefully inspected her deteriorating wall, and drew up a solution. Richie proposed our ShotLock Wall Restoration System that serves as a special spray-on solution. Jenny was confident in the product and the lifetime warranty, so she signed Richie's contract, put down a deposit, and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foremen, Ryan Loe and Matt Zeller, and their production teams installed 65 feet of our ShotLock around the entire basement wall perimeter. This system is specifically made to rebuild a deteriorating foundation and restore the safety and property value of the home. Our ShotLock is twice as strong as concrete and is much faster than foundation replacement.

David L. of Madison, MN had water leaking into his basement, as well as a cracked foundation. He heard about American Waterworks from another contractor, so he contacted our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Shane. Shane went to David's home, carefully inspected his issues, and determined a solution that would work for him, his needs, and his budget. David felt confident in the solution, so he went ahead with the project and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Cole, and his production crew installed our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain which serves as an underground drain that prevents mud clogs and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our Foamax Wall Panels which is a special foam insulation that saves money on energy costs and prevents water moisture from invading the basement. Lastly, our crew installed our Wall Anchors throughout the foundation wall. Our Wall Anchors are designed to straighten foundation walls and bring them back to their natural position. David was happy with the work that was done, and had a great experience from start to finish!

Karen M. in Marshall, MN was tired of dealing with her basement flooding after heavy rains and snow melt. She contacted American Waterworks after doing some online research and spending some time on our website. She met with one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, who inspected the situation and developed a thorough plan to keep Karen’s basement dry. 

Our Foreman, Arturo Mares, and his production crew got to work and removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and laid 121 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump, providing three levels of protection for Karen’s basement and her peace of mind. 

Bob H. of Marshall, MN was experiencing water seepage in his basement after heavy rains. He didn't want to have to worry about his basement after every rainstorm, so he got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist went to his home, carefully examined the problem, and provided some options that would fulfill Bob's wants and needs. Bob got all of his questions answered, so he went ahead with our proposal and signed the contract. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor around the pre-existing sump pump. Our crew replaced it with our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which provides three layers of protection and solves all three water problems in one system. It also comes with a battery back-up in case of power outage or failure. After the installation, our Foreman and his team filled the open gaps with river rock and pea gravel, mixed, and applied new concrete over them. Bob was happy with the repairs and had a great experience from start to completion!
