Before & After Photos

John and Starla H. of Galesburg, ND had water leaking from their walls and had cracks throughout their concrete floor, causing them to feel nervous and unsafe about the living conditions in their home. They went on HomeAdvisor and came across American Waterworks. After looking through the photo galleries of our basement waterproofing and foundation repair installations, they called our office line and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to their home, inspected their problems, and came up with a solution that fit their needs. John and Starla got all of their questions answered and were confident in Ian's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor with a jackhammer, removing all of the existing concrete. In replacement, our team laid down gravel, river rock, and sand. Next, our team installed our WaterGuard System around the floor perimeter. Our WaterGuard is an underground drainage system that connects to the sump pump, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. Then, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier System around the wall perimeter, which is made to prevent mold and mildew, cover in holes or divots, and gives the room a neat and clean appearance. To complete the job, our team applied new concrete to the entire basement floor, leaving the basement looking much neater than they found it. John and Starla were very happy with the repairs!

Nathan from Arthur, ND, was beginning to notice interior signs of foundation failure in his basement, in the form of cracks running down his wall. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would run the risk of the issue worsening, compromising the structural integrity of the home. He decided to call our office and we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free inspection of the issue, and recommendation as to how we could help fix it. A few weeks later our Design Specialist headed out to the property to see what could be done. After his walkthrough, our Design Specialist recommended raising the foundation with the help of our Push Pier system. He explained that this system is made of steel and is driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to solve settlement problems. Push piers can be installed inside or outside your foundation walls and are not visible once the repair is complete. In many scenarios, push piers not only stop settlement but lift the foundation back to its original position, closing cracks and improving window and door operation. Nathan agreed with the recommendation and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Domenic, and his crew ended up installing 20+ push piers around the exterior of the home, connected to the foundation footing. Once the project was completed, Nathan was happy to know he no longer had to worry about his homes foundation! 

A homeowner in Munich, North Dakota, recently read an article discussing the dangers of radon. Unsure about the levels in their home, the homeowner looked into "radon gas testing and mitigation system near me". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Ian. The following week, Ian promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection. Ian started with a radon test, then he looked for the best place to install a Radon Mitigation System. Once the test was completed, it showed that the levels were alarmingly high. To lower these levels, Ian recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System in the home. The homeowner agreed, then worked with Ian to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson, traveled to the home to begin the installation. Jackson installed the Radon Mitigation System along the east wall. Once the Radon Mitigation System was secured, Jackson cleaned up his matierals and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew.

Jill S. in Sacred Heart, MN had a dirt crawl space that was creating a musty smell in her home because of the moisture in that space. She also noticed that her energy bill was high, and she felt that energy was being lost from that space. She contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our crawl space encapsulation services. We sent a Design Specialist to inspect the crawl space and design the best solution. Jill was pleased with our proposal and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew removed the debris from the crawl space and installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier system on the dirt floor and the sides of the crawl space. This helps to keep pests and moisture out, which reduces humidity. Then, they sprayed our spray foam insulation in the rim joists of the crawl space to completely seal off the space and prevent any pests or water from entering. Jill was pleased with the result and is glad she can enjoy a stable, healthier crawl space for years to come!

Jayson N. of Breckenridge, MN wanted to straighten and secure his wood foundation, so he researched contractors who could perform that specific kind of service. He came across American Waterworks, so he scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian proposed our Foundation Repair Wall Anchor System, which is designed to permanently stabilize basement walls without the disruption or cost of replacement. Jayson was confident in the product, so he went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production team went about the repairs and were able to fix the foundation wall in three days. When installed, each anchor is connected by a steel rod to a wall plate that provides enough pressure against the inside of the foundation wall to bring it back to its normal position. Wall anchors are the most versatile wall repair method because they can be used to straighten walls with a variety of problems, such as bowing walls, tipping walls, and walls that are pushing in at the bottom. Jayson was happy with the work that was performed and had a great experience with our team!
