Before & After Photos

Joshua H. of Avon, MN had water leaking into his old farmhouse and he was looking for options of putting in drain tile. He got in touch with American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to Joshua's house, carefully inspected her problems, and proposed a system that would work for him and his needs. He was confident in the proposal of our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain and our sump pump system, so he went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter and installing our WaterGuard Below Floor Drain, which is an interior drainage system that collects water seepage from basement walls, and has an easily accessible service ports when it comes time for annual maintenance. Next, our crew installed our CleanSpace tape around the bottom of the wall perimeter on top of the WaterGuard, which is made to prevent water from seeping through the bottom of the wall. Lastly, our crew installed our SuperSump Plus M53, which is a sump pump made to keep basements dry for long periods of time. To complete the project, our team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied a new layer of concrete over them. Joshua was happy with the work and had a great experience from start to finish!

In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain that leads to outside and prevents water clogs. Next, our team installed our SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump, which is made to keep basements clean and dry for long periods. To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

A homeowner from Dundee, MN, was at a home improvement store one day when he spotted an at-home radon gas testing kit. He didn't know much about the dangerous gas but decided to test his home nonetheless. He was surprised when the test came back with higher than normal levels. The homeowner was uneasy about his family breathing in the gas and decided to consult a specialist about the problem. When he found our website, he signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Kevin B, one of our Design Specialists, was headed to the home. 

Knowing the home had high radon levels, Kevin focused his inspection on finding a good space for a mitigation system, should the customer want to move forward. When he finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner. He explained that radon gas is a radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of soil around your home's foundation. It finds its way into your space through holes and cracks in the foundation, silently wreaking havoc on the lining of the lungs. Kevin went on to say that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking, claiming 21,000 lives annually. Kevin could tell the homeowner was growing uneasy, so he reassured him that while the situation was serious, American Waterworks could help. Kevin strongly urged the homeowner to address the problem with our radon mitigation system. He 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 went on to say that, when installed by an experienced professional, a mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon in the interior of the home to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was relieved to know that Kevin had a solution for his household. He needed a few weeks to think about the project but ended up calling Kevin to schedule an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Geno M, and his team arrived bright and early on the day of the project and got right to work. When they had finished installing the system, our homeowner was thrilled to know that his home was well on the way to circulating fresh air! 

Lorelle J. from Paynesville, MN was experiencing excess water build-up due to the old sump pump that was installed in the home. This water build-up was damaging other parts of her home including the foundation. Lorelle then contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks to claim her FREE estimate entitling her to a free home inspection. Once an appointment was scheduled,  our Design Specialist then attended the home and began a thorough inspection of the home and the perimeter of the home to properly diagnose the issues Lorelle is experiencing and provide a proper solution that would not only eliminate the issue but prevent any other issues from arising. Once the inspection was completed our Design Specialist recommended that Lorrelle replace the old sump pump and invest in the TripleSafe Sump Pump system that we offer here at American WaterWorks. Lorelle agreed and proceeded to schedule a date of installation. 

Our Foreman, Julio Murillo, and his designated crew then proceeded with the installation process by taking out the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with the Triple-Safe Sump Pump System. The Triple-Safe Sump Pump System has three levels of protection which solves all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the Triple-Safe Sump Pump comes a battery backup which helps in the case of a power outage, keeping the basement dry and secure. To finish the job the crew proceeded to fill the gaps with engineer fill to prevent any sediment from entering the sump pump basket and affecting the pumps. Once backfilled the team then proceeds to put a layer of concrete to provide a finishing look. Lorelle was happy with the job and had a great experience with the production crew!!
