Before & After Photos

Shirley, of Tower City, ND, enlisted our services when she began to notice water entering the basement of her church. She got in touch with us and scheduled her FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Kole, of our Fargo branch. Soon after, Kole was out at the property to thoroughly inspect the damage, diagnose the cause, and see what we could do to help Shirley and her congregation. Kole discovered that water was entering the property through the walls of the basement, leading to the moisture in the basement Shirley had described. He recommended Shirley invest in our CleanSpace vapor barrier, paired with our WaterGuard drain system, and our SuperSump Plus to give the excess water the appropriate place to drain. 

The Foreman, Cameron, and his crew began work soon after. They began by installing the WaterGuard drainage system below the concrete of the floor, resting it atop the footing of the foundation. Next, they installed the CleanSpace vapor barrier on the North and South walls of the basement to address the leakage coming through the walls. The CleanSpace works hand-in-hand with the WaterGuard, as it catches the water entering through the wall, trapping it behind a tarp-like layer, and redirecting it down to the WaterGuard. Finally, Cameron and his crew installed the SuperSump Plus to gather the water that the CleanSpace and WaterGuard trapped. 

Now Shirley and her congregation have peace of mind knowing their shared space will be water-free for a long time to come!

Rhonda from Mayville, MN got in contact with us when she began to notice that her basement was becoming humid. Along with the feeling of dampness in the space, she noticed a musty smell and mold beginning to form. She wanted to know what could be done, so she called our office and we set her up with our FREE estimate. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Ian, headed out to the property to see what could be done. Once he finished his walkthrough, he was able to recommend our AprilAire dehumidifier to address the moisture. He explained that this energy-efficient option creates healthy air and can reduce the number of viable viruses in the air to less than 1% in two days' time when set to 50% RH. Rhonda agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Justice, installed the dehumidifier with no issues. Once the job was complete, Rhonda was happy to know that she no longer had to worry about the humidity in her space! 

A homeowner in Kathryn, ND, found that their basement walls were beginning to crack and deteriorate. The homeowner sought a solution to the issues before putting their home on the market. While searching Google for a solution, the homeowner found highly-rated American Waterworks. Once on our site, they signed up for our FREE estimate. We sent out one of our Design Specialists to evaluate the status of the walls. Following the evaluation, the Design Specialist suggested that the homeowners install PowerBraces around all the basement walls. Our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew started by installing four PowerBraces on the west, south, and east foundation walls. After the PowerBraces were installed, the home was properly stabilized and ready to be put on the market. The homeowners were pleased with the work done by the crew. American Waterworks is happy that another home is properly stabilized. 

Having a wet or damp basement can create more than just a headache. Problems like these can cause larger problems like mold, mildew, rot, structural damage, and health problems. If you have noticed any symptoms such as a wet basement floor or walls, standing water, smelly odors, condensation, sump pump problems, or leaky basement windows, it is time to get in contact with a professional to come and inspect your basement. 

A resident of Thompson, ND was seeing similar problems like this, so he got in contact with American Waterworks after doing some research. He got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to the resident's home, inspected the basement, and determined a solution that would work for them and their needs. He proposed our WaterGuard Drainage System and a feed line to the sump pump. The homeowner was confident in the proposal after getting their questions answered, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron Pjrakonekham, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGaurd Below Floor Drain, which prevents water clogs, collects water leakage from basement walls, and serves as an underground drain. Next, our team formed a feed line from one side of the WaterGuard to the sump pump. The purpose of a feed line is to transport water from high influx areas to the sump pump. The homeowner was happy with the work that was completed!

Zachary M. of Warren, MN had water leaking through the floor of his basement, causing him to worry about his home. Our office staff got in contact with him and set him up with a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. Ian proposed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain, collects water from basement walls, and prevents water clogs. Zachary was comfortable with the proposal, so he went ahead with the solution. 

Our Foreman, Corey Tollefson, and his crew broke out the concrete floor forming a trench. In the trench, our crew installed our WaterGuard. After that, they covered the open gaps with rock and applied new concrete. Zachary was happy with the results!
