Water Concerns in Owatonna, MN

While going through her basement, a homeowner noticed water coming in through the wall and forming a puddle at the base of her foundation. She was concerned about the issue getting worse and wanted to find a solution sooner rather than later. She found the American Waterworks website during her research of companies that could help this kind of problem and was happy to see our FREE estimate services. After she scheduled her appointment we sent over Design Specialist, Adam Voigt, a few days later to check out the water damage. Adam informed the homeowner that he was familiar with this problem and recommended using our WaterGuard system to stop the current water damage and prevent new damage from happening. He explained that WaterGuard is a perimeter drain system specifically engineered to fix basement water problems effectively without the issues of clogging from soil and sediment. She agreed to the product and was eager to get the problem fixed. Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew came in with the plans and carried out the installation to eliminate the water and clean up the area. The homeowner was thrilled to have the issue gone and very happy with American Waterworks' services.

DIY Sump Pump Was No Match For This Forest City, IA Basement

After purchasing their Forest City, IA home, Matt & Jenni decided to contact American Waterworks to have a new sump pump installed in their basement after realizing the DIY version wasn't keeping up with the demands of their home. American Waterworks was a no-brainer for these two, as our Team had previously installed our Geo-Lock Foundation Wall Anchor reinforcement system in the home back in 2013.

Waterproofing in Forest City, IA

Bryan A. in Forest City, IA was tired of dealing with a wet basement after heavy rains and snow melt. The water had started to cause damage to his property and was creating a musty, unhealthy space. He heard our advertisement on the radio and decided to give us a call. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan Woitas, to meet with him and evaluate the situation. Dylan designed a thorough plan and assured Bryan that our waterproofing system would provide a permanent solution. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew were able to successfully waterproof Bryan’s basement by first removing the concrete around the inside perimeter of the basement and through the middle of the floor. Next, they installed 164 feet of our WaterGuard drainage System and 36 feet of lateral line. Then, they installed our SuperSump sump pump in the corner, filled the gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. Water is now guided through the WaterGuard, to the SuperSump, and is quietly, and efficiently discharged from the home. Bryan was pleased with the results, and glad he made the investment to protect his home.
