Before & After Photos

Alanna D. of Mason City, IA had leaking basement walls, causing her to worry about water moisture and mold. She went to her local home show and saw our booth, presenting our basement waterproofing products. She talked to our Design Specialist, Ryan, who was running the show, and scheduled a FREE estimate. Ryan went to her home, carefully inspected her water problems, and drew out a solution that would repair her basement and peace of mind. She was confident in Ryan's proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor where the floor and wall meet, forming a trench. Inside the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is the most common interior drainage system that we provide for homeowners because of its easily accessible service ports, its ability to prevent water clogs, and its design to collect water from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity, and saves money on energy costs. To finish the installation, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and added new concrete over them. Alanna was happy with the work that was done, and had a great experience! 

Lynn and Janet P. of Mason City, IA had a wet basement and they wanted to get it waterproofed before it got any worse. They got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to their home, carefully examined their basement, and diagnosed the issues that they were having. Our Design Specialist drew up a couple of solutions that Lynn and Janet could choose and differentiate between. They got all of their questions answered about the proposal that they liked, so they went ahead and scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by jackhammering out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a drainage trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which prevents water clogs, collects water leakage from walls, and has easily accessible service ports in case of a service call or check-up on the system. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is made to prevent humidity and mold build-up, serve as a protective and energy-efficient blanket, and cover any holes or divots in the foundation. To complete the installation, our Foreman and his team filled the open gaps with rock and applied a new layer of concrete over them, ensuring the space looked neater than when they found it. 

Cory D. of Mason City, IA had a sunken concrete stoop that needed to be lifted. He got in contact with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Kevin. Kevin went to Cory's house, carefully inspected his concrete, and proposed the solution of our PolyLevel, which is designed to lift and level concrete slabs and surfaces. Cory was comfortable with our presentation and product, so he moved forward. 

Our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew member injected our PolyLevel underneath the concrete stoop to fill the voids that were caused by soil erosion and raise the concrete surface. The project took less than a day and Cory was very happy with the work!

A homeowner in Mason City, IA was worried about the state of his basement floors. With all of the heavy rainfall they had been having, their older home was taking in some water in the basement area. As a result, the floors had been damaged and worn down. Not wanting the problems to worsen if left unattended, he decided to find a company that could help. During his search, he found the American Waterworks website and signed up for one of our FREE no-obligation estimates. One of our Design Specialists, Trevor Simmons, went to the home where he carried out a detailed inspection of the basement. The damage to the floors was noticeable and Trevor was eager to help stop the issue and prevent it from happening to the basement again. The homeowner was glad to hear of plans for the installation of a WaterGuard perimeter drain system and agreed for the project to begin. Our Foreman, Victor Salvador, and his crew later arrived at the site to carry out the installation of the new drain system. The homeowner was so happy to hear that no more water would leak into the basement and ruin the floors again.

A homeowner in Mason City, IA, noticed a musty odor around their home. Unsure where the odor was coming from, the homeowner looked around their home for the source. After some searching, the homeowner discovered the smell was coming from their crawl space. Worried this could signify a larger issue, the homeowner wanted to find a professional solution. After searching, the homeowner came across our service page and was impressed with our crawl space encapsulation projects. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. The estimate was assigned to one of our Design Specialists, Dustin, so he traveled to the home to begin the inspection. After he arrived, Dustin began his detailed inspection of the struggling crawl space. Dustin confirmed the musty odors were coming from the crawl space and he recommended encapsulating the entire space. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Dustin's recommendations. Dustin was sent to the office to be finalized, then they were sent to our Foreman, Jeremiah, to begin the project. Jeremiah and his crew traveled to the home and began the project by clearing out all the debris. Once the debris was clear, the crew installed CleanSpace on the crawl space walls and floors. Once the crawl space was covered in CleanSpace, the crew shifted their focus to attaching Foamax to the crawl space walls. Finally, the crew installed the Aprilaire in the crawl space to ensure it stayed dry. Once all the products were installed, the crew could clean up their materials and leave the home. The homeowner was shocked by the impressive crawl space transformation. American Waterworks is happy to encapsulate the home's struggling crawl spaces.
