Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Grand Forks, ND, recently learned about the danger that radon poses in homes. Concerned that her family was breathing in the toxic fumes, she went to the store to buy a radon test kit. A couple of days later, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is above the EPA's required action level for radon. She immediately started looking for services in the area and came upon our website. She learned that we offer FREE estimates, and soon contacted us to schedule an appointment with one of our experts.

Our Design Specialist, Ian S., arrived on the scheduled date and immediately inspected the home to figure out where to install the radon mitigation system. He explained to the homeowner that the system needs to be installed on the lowest level of the home because radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As uranium decays, it releases radon gas. By placing the system on the footing of the home, it tackles the radon gas before it can enter your home. The homeowner thanked Ian for his explanation and approved his design. 

In a couple of weeks, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson P., arrived at the home for the installation. Our radon mitigation system is a large-diameter plastic pipe that is installed at the footing and connects to the outside of the home. An in-line fan will suction out the radon gas beneath your foundation and vent it outdoors. After Jackson's installation was complete, he cleaned up his equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer is happy to know that she and her family are breathing in fresh and clean air! When was the last time you tested the radon levels of your home? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate!

If a crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, issues will extend to every part of the home. Alfred, from Ellendale, ND, was beginning to fear that his unstable crawl space was causing issues throughout the rest of his home and wanted to make sure that the issue was corrected before any more damage could be done. 

After deciding on our company, Alfred gave us a call, and we set him up with a FREE inspection. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how we could help. 

We explained that the home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. Our recommendations were approved, and so we got to work! Our Foreman, Cameron, and his team worked diligently to install a variety of products. First up was our Aprilaire Dehumidifier, which reduces the humidity levels, musty smells, and odors, as well as makes the home drier and more comfortable. Next, our Foamax Wall Panels were installed, which is a foam insulation that is a great investment and brightens the entire basement. Then, the crew sprayed the remaining points of entry with our SprayFoam. Finally, Cameron installed our PowerBrace wall repair system to fix the wall. He explained that The PowerBrace is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. He went on to say that the steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment and that, over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know he no longer had to worry about a faulty crawl space affecting the rest of his home! 

Miaoqian L. of Hatton, ND had water leaking from their pre-existing sump pump and wanted to get it replaced with something new and more efficient. After hearing about American Waterworks, they got in contact with our office staff, so we set him up for a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to their house to take a look at the existing sump pump and come up with a solution that fit their needs. Miaoqian got all of their questions answered, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Brian Colliton, and his crew began the project by breaking out the concrete around the pre-existing sump pump and replacing it with our SuperSump sump pump. Our SuperSump is made to keep basements clean and dry for long periods of time. To complete the small installation, our crew applied new concrete around the sump pump. Miaoqian was happy with the results and the final touch!

Julie D. of Litchville, ND had water leaking into her basement, and she wanted to get it repaired or looked at before it got worse. She called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to Julie's home, carefully inspected her water leaks, and determined a solution that would work for her and her home repair needs. She was confident in Chad's proposal of our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, so Julie signed his contract and wrote out a deposit. 

Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, and his production crew started the installation by breaking out the corner of the concrete basement floor, forming a space for the sump basket. Our team installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which is the best sump pump we provide for homeowners because of its triple protection and its ability to solve all three water problems in one unit. To complete the installation, Ryan and his team filled the open gaps with rock and pea gravel and applied new concrete over them. Julie was very happy with the work that was performed, and had a wonderful experience!

A homeowner in Hope, ND, decided to investigate the status of the crawl space in their home. As soon as they entered the crawlspace, dust and dirt erupted in their face. Disgusted with the status of the crawlspace, the homeowner wanted to encapsulate it. After seeing a before and after advertisment on Facebook, the homeowner decided to sign up for a FREE estimate with American Waterworks. We sent out our Design Specialist, Kole, to investigate the status of the crawlspace. Following his evaluation, Kole suggested utilizing Foamax and CleanSpace to close off the crawlspace. The homeowners agreed and we sent our crews out. Our Foreman, Domenic, and his crew started by removing the plastic and insulation on the walls. Then, the crew removed any debris in the crawl space. Once the crawlspace was cleaned out, the crew installed drainage matting and laid CleanSpace to seal the crawl space. Next, the crew applied Foamax on all interior foundation walls except where the crawlspace and basement meet. Finally, the crew applied SprayFoam on the exterior walls, except where the crawlspace and basement met. Once the installation was complete, the homeowners were pleased that their crawlspace was encapsulated. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for a FREE estimate today!
