Before & After Photos

Ms. Eastland had discovered her home was exposing her to high levels of radon gas, almost 3x the acceptable limit.  In order to properly mitigate the gas from her home, American Waterworks needed to seal off the dirt crawlspace located on the North side of her basement. By combining our CleanSpace vapor barrier and SilverGlo wall insulation systems, American Waterworks was able to create a suction point in the crawl space to pull the radon from within the home and expel it outside the house.

A homeowner in Albert Lea, MN contacted us with concerns regarding a bowing foundation wall. Design Specialist Mac Cole developed a solution using our warrantied Wall Anchor System to stabilize their foundation. The homeowner now has confidence that their foundation is secure. 

Sandra N. in Albert Lea, MN had her home tested for radon. When the results came back with high levels, she gave American Waterworks a call. Our Design Specialist, Reed Hudson, developed a plan that was unique to her home. 

Our Foreman, Dakota Merchlewitz, started the installation process by drilling a hole in the slab foundation of the home and connected a PVC pipe. The radon gas is drawn upward, and the pipe guides it to the fan. The fan draws and vents radon safely above and away from the home. Sandra is glad she took the necessary steps to protect herself and her family.

Lori K. in Albert Lea, MN had an older home, and she was concerned about the stability of the foundation and the water leaking into her basement. She found American Waterworks in the phone book and gave us a call. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to meet with Lori, evaluate the situation, and propose the best solution. Lori was impressed with Ryan’s presentation, and she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team were successfully able to stabilize Lori’s foundation with the installation of 10 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors around the deteriorating foundation. They began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installing 100 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed the SuperSump sump pump with a battery backup and the CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to further protect the space from mold and moisture. Lastly, they installed the SaniDry dehumidifier to take care of any humidity and cleaned up their work area. Lori was pleased with the entire process and is glad she made the investment to protect her home! 

Mary R. of Albert Lea, MN wanted new window wells because her old ones were covered with dirt, rust, and debris. She worked with American Waterworks before, so she decided to work with us again for this project. Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his crew installed three of our Sunhouse Window Well and Covers. These covered window wells keep cold winter winds and climate changes from irritating the basement windows. It's a small upgrade that can really make a difference to your home! 

Mary was happy with the work that was done and had a great experience with our crew!
