Before & After Photos

Denise J. of Fort Ripley, MN had water leaking from her foundation walls into her basement, making her worry about stained walls, water damage, and flooding hazards. She got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to her home to carefully inspect the walls and come up with a solution that fit her home repair needs and budget. Denise was confident in Chad's proposal and was content with the products and their warranties, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which is the most common waterproofing repair product we provide for homeowners. It serves as an underground drain in connection with the sump pump, it prevents water and mud clogs, and it collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent mold build-up, humidity growth, and guide water into the WaterGuard. To complete the project, Raul and his team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it. Denise was happy with the work that was done and was impressed by the transformation from start to finish!

Eric D. of Milroy, MN had water seeping into his basement and he wanted to get it inspected by a professional. He knew of our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, so he told him about the problems he was having. After an informative discussion and a written-up quote, Eric D. decided to move forward with the project so he could get his problems repaired and fixed. 

Our Foreman, Clay Bassingthwaite, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which is an underground drain that collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which prevents mold, mildew, and humidity, and it gives the basement a bright, clean appearance. To complete the project, our team filled the open gaps in the floor with rock and applied new concrete over it. Eric D. was grateful we were able to help him with his basement repair needs!

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!

A Tracy, MN, homeowner was chatting with his neighbor one day when he learned that his neighbor had his home tested and mitigated for dangerous radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangers of radon gas, so he decided to find a radon specialist in Minnesota close to Tracy. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate.

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Tony B, was headed out to the home. When Tony arrived, the first article of business was to place a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test records radon levels in the home over a 48-hour timeframe, delivering the average radon level after the test. Tony explained to the homeowner that the Environmental Protection Agency recommends taking action with any radon levels higher than 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter of air). He went on to say that, should the levels return higher than normal, he would strongly urge the homeowner to consider a radon mitigation system, explaining 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 mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in the interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was thrilled with Tony's recommendation but decided to wait until the test came back to make a decision. 48 hours later, Tony was back at the home to read the results, which came back well above 4 pCi/L. The homeowner and Tony worked together to find the best installation date. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota M, led his team through a flawless radon mitigation system installation, successfully restoring the customer's peace of mind in the air circulating the home!

A Raymond, MN, homeowner had just learned of the dangers of radon gas. He didn't want his family to be victim to the hazardous gas, so he began to look for radon mitigators in MN. After searching the internet, he found our website. After looking through our radon mitigation pictures, he signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Jesse W, headed out to the home. 

After Jesse finished his inspection, he informed the homeowner that he was recommended the installation of a radon mitigation system. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. 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. The homeowner agreed with Jesse's recommendation, and work was scheduled for some time later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Jackson P, headed out to the home. He was able to install the system with no issues. Now, our customer can breathe easy knowing that his radon problem has been solved!
