Before & After Photos

A Moorhead, MN, man had just learned of the dangers that radon gases pose to households. He wanted to ensure the safety of his family, so he headed to a local home improvement store to pick up a short-term radon test. After following the instructions on the package, he was alarmed to find out that the radon level in his home was 5 pCi/L. He didn't want his family to breathe in unhealthy air for longer than necessary, so he began to look for a radon mitigation company that could give him more radon gas information. Through his search, he found our website and signed up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Jackson P, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once he finished his inspection, Jackson was ready to discuss the next steps with the homeowner. Jackson informed the homeowner that he wanted to install 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. Before installing a radon mitigation system, the contractor will run a radon test to determine if radon abatement is necessary. 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 Jackson's recommendations and scheduled the job for some time later. 

On the day of the project, Jackson returned to install the system. He completed the project with no complications. Now, our customer can confidently breathe fresh air circulating in his home!

A homeowner in Oxbow, ND, knew it was time to fix their leaking basement wall. Hoping they could catch the issue early enough, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing options near Oxbow, ND. The homeowner asked a local Facebook group for any recommendations and several members recommended working with us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our website, the homeowner knew we were the best company for their project. As soon as they saw our high ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, James, to the home to take a closer look. James arrived and began his detailed walkthrough of the basement. During his walk-through, James found that one wall in particular was struggling the most. To stop the wall from leaking further, James proposed installing WaterGuard and a feedline to connect to the current sump system. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with these recommendations. Next, James passed the plans along to the office to approve the project. Once the project was built and scheduled, the plans were assigned to our crew. The crew traveled to the home and began the project. First, the crew ensured the basement was prepared for the installation. Next, the crew installed WaterGuard along the wall. Then, the crew shifted their focus to installing a feedline across the basement floor. As soon as all the products were installed, 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 kind review. American Waterworks is delighted to assist its customers in repairing their leaky basement walls. 

A customer from North Dakota got in contact with us about their need to seal off their crawl space area to prevent water from entering. Our Design Specialist, Kole, determined the best plan of action to be to remove any debris such as concrete chunks and rocks, encapsulate the area with CleanSpace, and spray Foamax to seal off any remaining points of entry. Now the homeowners have peace of mind knowing their crawl space will be energy efficient and water-free!

Don and Lillian M. of Fargo, ND had water leaking in their basement and their foundation walls were bowing inward. They set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, who inspected their problem and came up with a solution. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team broke out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor to form a trench and installed five of our PowerBraces, which are made to stabilize bowing foundation walls and straighten them over time. Next, our crew installed our WaterGuard System in the trench, which serves as an underground drain. To complete the job, Matt and his team filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Don and Lillian were grateful we were able to save the basement of their home! 

Andrew B. of Fargo, ND had water continuously leaking from his pre-existing sump pump and needed repairs. He did some research online and came across American Waterworks and our sump pump installations. After filling out our online FREE Estimate form, we sent out our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas, to help him come up with a solution to his problem. After a thorough inspection, Andrew was comfortable with Dylan's plan, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson, and his production team began the project by cutting out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our SuperSump Plus M53 sump pump. Our sump pumps are made to keep basements dry for long periods of time. Next, our team cut out 58 feet of concrete around the floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, Tremaine and his team installed our WaterGuard System, which acts as an underground drain, collects water seepage from basement walls, and guides water to the sump pump. To complete the project, our crew covered the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete. Andrew was happy with the work and no longer has to worry about water leaking into his basement!
