Before & After Photos

In Clear Lake, IA, a homeowner was experiencing a bowing foundation wall and water leaks along their floor. Concerned that the issue would worsen without a long-term solution, the homeowner began looking into contractors in the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming highly impressed by our reviews and before-and-after photos, the homeowner knew we would be the right company for their home repair journey. They soon contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE estimate.

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dylan W., arrived at the home to provide a thorough inspection. During the inspection, Dylan took note of the horizontal crack that was visible along the foundation wall. He also spotted the areas where water leaks were present. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Dylan began working on a detailed solution to waterproof the basement and repair the foundation. To stabilize the foundation, he recommended installing GeoLock, our wall anchor system that redirects the pressure against the foundation to stable soil. To waterproof the basement, Dylan recommended WaterGuard, our interior perimeter drainage system that directs water leaks to the sump system, Foamax, our wall insulator that prevents the buildup of moisture, TripleSafe, our extremely reliable sump system with three levels of protection, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge system that allows water to escape from the sump pump during freezing temperatures to prevent sump burnout. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Juan P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew successfully installed 7 GeoLock wall anchors, 118ft of WaterGuard, 96ft of Foamax, 1 TripleSafe, and 2 IceGuards.

A homeowner in Clear Lake, IA, noticed their basement was suffering from water intrusion. Worried this was going to seriously impact their basement, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so 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, Brady. A few days later, Brady promptly arrived at the home and started the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Brady confirmed the basement was suffering from several water intrusion issues. To prevent the water issues from continuing, Brady suggested securing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Brady to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Raul, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Raul and his crew began by securing WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. After both of the products were secured, the crew shifted to cleaning up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew.

A homeowner from Glencoe, MN, had been suffering from a damp basement for some time. She no longer wanted to deal with the problem and decided to find a basement waterproofing company near Glencoe, MN. Through extensive internet searches, the homeowner quickly found our website and signed up for her FREE estimate. 

A few weeks later, Eric H, one of our Design Specialists, was headed out to the home. When Eric finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. First, Eric recommended our CleanSpace vapor barrier, a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets installed directly onto the walls of the basement, functioning to direct water entering through the wall, downward, and into a perimeter drain, our WaterGuard. This unique French drain gets installed below the basement floor, atop the footing of the foundation, giving the water entering down from the CleanSpace, and coming up from the floor, a channel to flow freely to a pre-installed sump system. The homeowner was thrilled with Eric's explanation and solution and signed on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our Foreman, Jesus C, and his crew were out at the home. At the end of the project, our team effortlessly installed 136 sqft of CleanSpace, and 136 sqft of WaterGuard. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing her basement is properly defended against unwanted water! 

A homeowner from Arlington, MN got in contact with us when they learned of hazardous radon gas and wanted to have their home tested to make sure the air they were breathing was healthy. They searched for a company that deals with Radon and came across our website. They decided to take advantage of our FREE, no-obligation estimate into the issue. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kevin, headed out to the property to assess the situation. Part of Kevin's visit was leaving a Radon test kit in the basement of the home. Once the Radon test kit had sat in the basement long enough, the sample was sent in for evaluation. The numbers can back reading 12.7 pCi/L, which is extremely high. The EPA recommends taking action on any radon levels over 4 pCi/L. Kevin let the homeowners know that while the numbers were high, our Radon mitigation system would bring those numbers way down to inhabitable conditions. He went on to say that the mitigation system works to pull radon from the home, piping it upwards, and expelling it out through the top of the home, and out and away from the house. The homeowners agreed and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Geno, and his team make quick work of the installation. Once the job was completed, the homeowner was thrilled to know that they could take a breath of relief with clean air.

Dennis M. was suffering from water leaking into his basement during heavy rains. He was tired of dealing with this every time there was a storm, so a friend recommended that he contact American Waterworks. He called us to receive a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, to inspect his wet basement and design a solution. Jeremy worked with Dennis to develop a unique plan for his specific needs. Dennis liked the proposal and felt that he was in good hands with American Waterworks, so he moved forward with waterproofing his basement.

Our team installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump, and lateral lines that connect the drainage system to the sump pump. When water leaks into his basement, it is now properly guided through the WaterGuard, to the sump pump, and then the water is pumped through the discharge line to the outside of the home. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Dennis is glad he chose a permanent solution to protect his basement from water.
