Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Rochester, MN, was beginning the process of selling his home. Before he could confidently list his home, he knew there were several things he had to update or address. First, he was curious to see if his home had high radon levels. He knew his neighbor had recently had their home tested, so he decided to do the same. On the recommendation of a friend, he contacted American Waterworks and set up his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Michel R, headed to the home. 

When Michel arrived, the first portion of his inspection was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. Michel explained to the homeowner that the goal of this test was to record radon levels in the home over a 48-hour time period, after which time Michel would return to read the average results. Michel informed the homeowner that, should the levels come back higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. Michel 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 a professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA. The homeowner was very impressed with Michel's approach but decided to wait until her radon results returned. When the 48 hours were up, Michel arrived back at the home to read the results, which returned much higher than 4 pCi/L, so the homeowner and Michel sat down and found a day for the system to be installed. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to successfully install the system. Now, our customer can confidently list his home for sale, knowing the new homeowners would be thankful for clean air! 

April H. in Rochester, MN had water leaking into her basement and she was concerned about the damage it was causing to her home and the potential health implications it could cause. She contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so one of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole went to her home to inspect her basement and design the right solution. April was pleased with the proposal and was eager to have the waterproofing system installed, so she scheduled the installation.

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his crew installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the room and a TripleSafe sump pump in the corner. Our TripleSafe is backed by three layers of protection and is our most reliable sump pump. They also installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to protect the room from moisture and potential mold growth. The WaterGuard properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. April is pleased that her basement is now a dry, healthier space and she is glad she chose to invest in the long-term protection of her home.

Wasana T. in Rochester, MN had been struggling with a wet basement and water-damage to her home. She wanted to find a permanent solution, so she contacted American Waterworks. Wasana met with Dustin Loftus, our Design Specialist, who designed a unique solution for her basement.

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his crew installed 72 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system and our SuperSump sump pump. 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. Wasana is pleased with the results and glad her basement is now a dry, healthy space.

Donald R. in Rochester, MN contacted American Waterworks after he saw one of our commercials on TV. He had cracked and slightly bowing foundation walls, and he was concerned about the structural integrity of his house. He knew how much replacing his foundation entirely could be, and he wanted to fix the problem before it got any worse. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to his home to inspect the situation and develop a unique solution.

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew installed 17 CarbonArmor straps along the foundation to reinforce the bowing walls. The CarbonArmor system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber straps to strengthen and stabilize the foundation walls. The CarbonArmor reinforcement becomes part of the wall structure and can be hidden with a coat of paint. Donald’s foundation has been stabilized, and his peace of mind restored! 

A homeowner from Rochester, MN, was facing a unique problem with his sump pump. Each time it rained, the system could cycle, loudly, but still, there was standing water being left on the floor. The homeowner was concerned about what would happen to his basement come spring when the snow melts, so he decided to google 'flooded basement repair near me', and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, was headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived, the homeowner directed him down to the basement so he could begin his inspection. When he finished his walkthrough, he met up with the homeowner to go over his findings and to deliver his recommendations. Ryan explained that if you can't count on your sump system to be powerful or reliable enough, then you can't count on a dry basement. For this reason, Ryan recommended our SuperSump plus sump pump system, an effective and economical choice to rid your basement of unwanted water. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's recommendation and scheduled the job for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Edgar M, and his team were able to place the sump pump with no issues. Now, our customer is confident that his basement is properly defended against unwanted moisture!
