Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Zumbrota, MN, had recently learned about the dangers of radon gas and the hazards it poses to a household. He was afraid that his loved ones were being exposed to this hazardous gas, so he decided to find a radon mitigation specialist in Minnesota. After finding our website, he looked through our radon gas mitigation pictures and decided to claim his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac C, was headed out to the home. 

When Mac arrived, he discovered that the homeowner had conducted an at-home radon test, which indicated higher-than-normal levels. So, Mac began his process by scouting out the best location for a mitigation system. When he was finished, he met with the homeowner. He began by saying that the homeowner was right to call us, explaining that radon is invisible, odorless, colorless, and tasteless, making it completely undetectable without proper testing. Mac went on to say that because the levels in the home were so high, he recommended a 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. The homeowner liked the sound of Mac's approach and signed on the spot. 

When the day of the project rolled around, our Foreman, Dakota, led his team through a flawlessly executed radon mitigation system installation. 

Dana and Carol S. of Lime Springs, IA were experiencing water leaking into their basement as well as cracking in their foundation walls. One of their contractors recommended American Waterworks to complete the job. They called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our sales manager, Eric Fox. Eric went to their home, inspected the problem, and came up with a solution. Dana and Carol were comfortable with Eric's proposal, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor with a jackhammer and formed a trench. In the trench, our team installed 142 feet of our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain and collects water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team applied our CleanSpace Wall System around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity growth, and it acts as an extra wall protectant. It also gives basements a neat and clean appearance. Then, Hugo and his crew installed 21 of our PowerBraces on the CleanSpace. Our PowerBraces are made to stabilize failing basement walls and straighten them out over time. Lastly, our team applied spray foam around the ceiling perimeter to provide extra insulation and to keep heat inside the basement. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Dana and Carol had a remarkable experience from appointment to installation, and their peace of mind has been restored!

A homeowner's basement in Lime Springs, IA, had flooded after an intense thunderstorm. Frantic to find a solution, the homeowners searched for basement waterproofing options closest to them. Luckily for the homeowner, they came across our Facebook page and knew we were the best choice for them. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, Ryan. After Ryan arrived at the home, he started his inspection of the basement. Ryan completed the entire basement walk-through and found many waterproofing issues in the basement. After Ryan alerted the homeowner of his findings, he was able to provide them with a solution. Ryan recommended installing several waterproofing products in the basement to protect it from further intrusion. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's recommendations and the plans were finalized by the office. Once approved by the office, they were sent to our Foreman, Raul, and his crew. Raul and his crew arrived at the home and started by installing WaterGuard around the entire perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew took out the previous sump pump and replaced it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Next, the crew tied the TripleSafe Sump Pump into the WaterGuard system. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. As soon as all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their basement was properly waterproofed and repaired. American Waterworks is happy to provide homeowners with that peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Lime Springs, IA, knew it was time to schedule their annual maintenance appointment. Hoping to schedule it before the heavy rain season, the homeowner called our service team to get it scheduled. Once their appointment was scheduled, one of our Service Technicians, Jack, was scheduled to travel to the home the following week. After Jack arrived, he started by inspecting the products previously installed in the basement. Once Jack confirmed all the products were running properly. However, Jack discovered several walls were water-damaged and needed to be permanently waterproofed. Jack presented his solution to the homeowner and they agreed. Once Jack received the homeowner's approval, he sent the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team finalized the plans, then they were scheduled to with our Foreman, Juan, and his crew. A month later, Juan and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. Juan and his crew started the project by installing WaterGuard along the south basement wall. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. Finally, the crew completed the project by installing CleanSpace on the unfinished basement wall. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a five-star review. American Waterworks is happy to maintain and assist its homeowners in making sure their basement is properly repaired. 

Brent B. of Stewartville, MN wanted to have an Egress Window installed. They found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so they scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jesse, went to Brent's house, carefully inspected her window, and proposed a quote for the job. Brent was confident in the proposal, so he went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Jose C., and his crew excavated the soil around the foundation, broke out the foundation wall, and installed our Egress Window and RockWell Window Well. Our Egress Windows are designed to allow a safe exit out of the home, provide a more inviting entrance to the basement, and bring in more fresh air. Our RockWell Window Well is a one-piece construction that is made for safety and is a great alternative to ugly window windows. To complete the project, our crew backfilled and compacted the soil, ensuring the space was neater and cleaner than when they found it.
