Before & After Photos

A Worthington, MN homeowner inspected their basement following an intense storm and discovered standing water. Worried about the long-term damage, the homeowner began looking into a waterproofing solution. After looking through multiple companies, the homeowner decided to work with us, American Waterworks. After signing up for their FREE estimate, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Ryan, one of our Design Specialists. Ryan arrived at the home and began the detailed estimate of the basement. Once he saw the several puddles of water, Ryan knew there was an issue. Ryan determined the basement needed additional waterproofing products installed. The homeowner wanted this issue resolved, so they agreed with Ryan's suggestions. Once they received the stamp of approval, the plans were forwarded and assigned to the appropriate crew. Our Foreman, Jeremiah, and his crew arrived at the home and began the project. First, the crew installed WaterGuard along the east and south basement walls. Next, the crew dug an interior discharge line to connect to the new SuperSump+. Finally, the crew installed an Aprilaire dehumidifier in the corner of the basement. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was safe from further disasters. American Waterworks is glad to provide another homeowner peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Worthington, MN grew concerned about his basement space, especially with the heavy rainfall they had been experiencing. When he went down to check it out, he found some water pooled up on the floors and near the base of the walls. Not wanting the issue to continue getting worse and possibly cause more damage to the space, he contacted American Waterworks for assistance. During the call our appointment center set him up with a FREE no-obligation estimate with one of our Design Specialists, Lance Schmidt. When Lance arrived at the home, he inspected the basement and found the water the homeowner had talked about. Lance recommended some products to be installed in order to waterproof the basement and stop the water intake for good. The homeowner agreed and the plans for the project began. One of our Foreman, Victor Salvador, and his crew arrived at the site to carry out the installations of our WaterGuard perimeter drain system and TripleSafe sump system. The results left the basement water-free, and the homeowner was so glad that he had contacted us for help.

A homeowner in Worthington, MN was downstairs checking in on his utilities space when he noticed some water damage on the floors. He figured his current sump pump wasn't able to keep up with pumping the water, so he decided to find a company that could give professional insight on the problem. Online he looked up "basement waterproofing mn" and went through the search results. Our website stood out to him because of the American Waterworks reviews that he read from past customers who had positive experiences with us.

After Worthington, MN, was rocked with numerous storms in a short period, a homeowner went down to his basement and was shocked to find water entering the space through corners of his basement. He was concerned about what his findings could mean for the health of his home, so he decided to begin looking for interior waterproofing MN, and eventually found our website. After looking through our basement waterproofing before and after images, he signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, Lance S, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After Lance finished his thorough inspection, he was ready to meet with the customer to deliver his recommendations. Lance began by reassuring the homeowner that he had done the right thing by taking action as soon as possible. He then said he wanted to use two of our products to address the water intrusion. First, Lance wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof plastic barrier gets installed directly onto the basement walls, and works to direct water entering through holes or cracks in the basement wall down and into a perimeter drain, which in this case, Lance had recommended to be our WaterGuard. The WaterGuard® System is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. By installing the drain at this point, it's kept out of the "mud zone", the point where clogged drains are common. The unique shape and large drain openings of WaterGuard® also aid in preventing clogs in the system. This drain works to collect the water draining down the wall from the CleanSpae, as well as the water entering through cracks or holes in the floor and gives it a channel to flow freely to a disposal site, such as a sump pump or discharge line. The homeowner liked the sound of the two products working together and decided to schedule the project for several weeks later.

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco, led his team through the installation. When they were finished, they had successfully installed 143 ft of WaterGuard and another 137ft of CleanSpace. Now, our customer can breathe easier knowing his water intrusion issues have been handled by professionals!

A homeowner from Worthington, MN, was chatting with her neighbor one day when she learned that they had just had their home tested for radon gas. She didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas but figured it would be worth testing her home, just to be on the safe side. When the homeowner went to look for radon specialists in her area, she quickly found our website. She was impressed with other radon systems we had installed in her area and decided to sign up for her FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Ryan P, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived at the home, he began the process by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the home and then carried on with his inspection of the home. When Ryan finished, he met with the homeowner. He began by explaining a bit more about what radon is. Radon is an invisible, odorless, colorless gas that is emitted from the breakdown of the soil around your home's foundation. It creeps into your home through small holes or cracks in the foundation and silently wreaks havoc on lung tissue. Ryan went on to say that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, claiming 21,000 lives each year in the United States. Going back to the test, Ryan explained to the homeowner that the purpose of this test was to record radon levels in the house over 48 hours, delivering an average result when the test concluded. Ryan went on to say that, should the results come back higher than 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend the installation of a radon mitigation system. Ryan explained that a typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. He finished by saying that, when installed by an experienced professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health safety agencies. The homeowner liked Ryan's comprehensive approach and solution, and decided to sign on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota, and his team were able to seamlessly place the system in the home. Now, our customer is thrilled to know that he no longer has to worry about dangerous radon gas!
