Before & After Photos

Sandra N. in Albert Lea, MN had her home tested for radon. When the results came back with high levels, she gave American Waterworks a call. Our Design Specialist, Reed Hudson, developed a plan that was unique to her home. 

Our Foreman, Dakota Merchlewitz, started the installation process by drilling a hole in the slab foundation of the home and connected a PVC pipe. The radon gas is drawn upward, and the pipe guides it to the fan. The fan draws and vents radon safely above and away from the home. Sandra is glad she took the necessary steps to protect herself and her family.

Lori K. in Albert Lea, MN had an older home, and she was concerned about the stability of the foundation and the water leaking into her basement. She found American Waterworks in the phone book and gave us a call. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan Powell, to meet with Lori, evaluate the situation, and propose the best solution. Lori was impressed with Ryan’s presentation, and she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team were successfully able to stabilize Lori’s foundation with the installation of 10 Geo-Lock Wall Anchors around the deteriorating foundation. They began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installing 100 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they installed the SuperSump sump pump with a battery backup and the CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to further protect the space from mold and moisture. Lastly, they installed the SaniDry dehumidifier to take care of any humidity and cleaned up their work area. Lori was pleased with the entire process and is glad she made the investment to protect her home! 

Mary R. of Albert Lea, MN wanted new window wells because her old ones were covered with dirt, rust, and debris. She worked with American Waterworks before, so she decided to work with us again for this project. Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his crew installed three of our Sunhouse Window Well and Covers. These covered window wells keep cold winter winds and climate changes from irritating the basement windows. It's a small upgrade that can really make a difference to your home! 

Mary was happy with the work that was done and had a great experience with our crew!

Vicky and David R.'s existing windows were rotting out and they wanted new ones installed so no draft would get into the basement. They had previous work done by American Waterworks before so they worked with our company again. Our crew replaced their windows with our EverLast Replacement Windows and our WellDuct Window Drains. Our EverLast Windows are vinyl-framed, double-paneled, and energy-efficient. Our WellDuct Drain catches water seepage from guides it into the interior drainage system, which guides water out of the basement. Vicky and David were thrilled with the work and had another wonderful experience!

Previous windows in a homeowner's house were leaking water underneath their pre-existing Window Sunhouse, which is a dome protectant that prevents debris from invading the window. Our team at American Waterworks installed our Window Well Duct that collects any water that makes its way into the Sunhouse. In this scenario, our WellDuct Drain is connected to the homeowner's pre-existing waterproofing system which leads to the sump pump system to guide water out of the home. The homeowner was satisfied with the work and was grateful to no longer have water seeping in through their basement window.
