Basement Waterproofed and Foundation Repaired in Lime Springs, IA

Dana and Carol S. of Lime Springs, IA were experiencing water leaking into their basement as well as cracking in their foundation walls. One of their contractors recommended American Waterworks to complete the job. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our sales manager, Eric Fox. Eric went to their home, inspected the problem, and came up with a solution. Dana and Carol were comfortable with Eric's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor with a jackhammer and formed a trench. In the trench, our team installed 142 feet of our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity growth, and it acts as an extra wall protectant. It also gives basements a neat and clean appearance. Then, Hugo and his crew installed 21 of our PowerBraces on the CleanSpace. Our PowerBraces are made to stabilize failing basement walls and straighten them out over time. Lastly, our team applied spray foam around the ceiling perimeter to provide extra insulation and to keep heat inside the basement. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Dana and Carol had a remarkable experience from appointment to installation, and their peace of mind has been restored!
