Before & After Photos

Charles, a homeowner in Waldorf, MN needed guidance in solving his water and radon issues. After scheduling his FREE estimate, our Design Specialist Lance headed out to the property for an inspection. He explained radon is a hazardous, invisible, and odorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking. Lance suggested having a new extraction point installed to depressurize the home. He explained that once the system was installed, it would work to pull Radon from the house, pipe it upwards through venting, and push it out and away from the home. Lance also walked Charles through our waterproofing WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. Charles agreed with Ian's recommendation, and work began shortly after.

Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew quickly and efficiently installed the system. First, our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Then, the SuperSump Plus. In addition, the plan was to add a discharge line to ensure the radon went up and out of the house.

Our team connected PVC piping from the sump pump to the ceiling and out of the home, where our team installed the system. The mitigation system is the heart of the system; if it isn't working properly, no radon can escape the home. Once they installed the system and its cover outside the home, they connected PVC piping from the system alongside the home until it reached the roof. The radon was able to escape the home quickly and efficiently. Charles was glad he got this taken care of, and his peace of mind was restored knowing he was breathing in safe air. 

Peter K. in Dresser, WI had a dirt crawl space that was creating a musty smell in his home because of the moisture in that space. He also noticed that his energy bill was high and felt that energy was being lost from that space. He 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. Peter was pleased with our proposal and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew removed the debris from the crawl space and installed the drainage matting and 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. Peter was pleased with the result and is glad he can enjoy a stable, healthier crawl space for years to come!

Sandra and William S. of Waterville, MN had water leaking into their closet, making them nervous about water damage, especially to their personal belongings. One of their friends referred American Waterworks, so they called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton. Eric went to their home, inspected their water problems, and came up with the solution of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Sandra and William were confident in the product and its warranty, so they went ahead with the repairs and put down their deposit. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his team began the project by breaking out a hole in the concrete. In the hole, our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump, which is the best sump pump that we provide for customers. The TripleSafe provides three levels of protection, solves all three water problems in one system, and keeps basements dry for very long periods of time. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Sandra and William were happy with the repairs and had a great experience! 

Jamie and Joe F. of Lonsdale, MN had water leaking through their basement window. They got in contact with American Waterworks and had our company out to their house to inspect the problems. They were confident in the proposal of our EverLast Basement Windows, so they decided to schedule a FREE estimate. 

Our Foreman and his crew broke out the pre-existing window and window well and replaced it with our EverLast Replacement Basement Windows as well as our SunHouse Window Well. Both of these systems help prevent water from leaking into the basement and they help with energy efficiency. Is water leaking into your basement?

Gregg P. had water leaking into his basement due to a failed sump pump. He contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to his home to inspect his problem and develop a solution. Gregg was pleased with Shane's proposal, so he scheduled to have our waterproofing system installed. 

Our production team installed a lateral line and a SuperSump sump pump, which now properly expels water from the home. The installation only took a day to complete. Gregg is glad he chose to invest in the long-term protection of his basement.
