Before & After Photos

Marilyn from Minneiska, MN got in contact with us when she began to notice a musty smell originating from her crawl space beneath her home. She wanted to fix the issue and make sure she wasn't experiencing more serious water intrusion. When she got in contact with us, we set her up with our FREE estimate, entitling her to a thorough, no-obligation inspection by a member of our Design Specialists team. Shortly after, our Design Specialist, Rick, headed out to the property to see what could be done. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was able to make his recommendations as to how we could help. He wanted to use three of our products to seal the space, ensuring no water would penetrate it. First, he recommended a base layer of our drainage matting, a liner that rests directly on the crawl space floor, working to trap water underneath it and direct it to the appropriate disposal site. Next, Rick wanted to encapsulate the entire space in our CleanSpace vapor barrier. He explained that this system is a durable, bright white liner that gets installed on the floors and walls of the space, and works to prevent water vapor and humidity from passing through the space. Finally, he wanted to seal all remaining cracks and holes with our SprayFoam, a durable foam that works to block any water from entering. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew ended up installing 168 sqft of drainage matting throughout the space and another 230 sqft of CleanSpace. Once the job was completed, Marilyn was happy to know she no longer had to worry about unwanted water in the space. 

A homeowner in Altura, MN became worried about his basement when his daughter had informed him that her floors were damp. He looked into the problem himself and found exactly what she had said. Not wanting the damage to worsen if water continued to make its way into the home, he decided to find a solution. Online he found the American Waterworks company name and once he saw some of their before and after photos from past waterproofing jobs, he signed up for one of the FREE estimate appointments. The homeowner was greeted by Design Specialist Nick Skillman, who inspected the entire basement and gave his recommendations. Nick found other areas that also had some water damage and he suggested that the whole basement be waterproofed. The homeowner agreed and wanted to move forward with the plan for installations. One of our Foremen, Arturo Mares, and his crew later went to the site to install the WaterGuard basement drainage system. WaterGuard works to intercept water at the perimeter of the basement and sends it away safely to the pump. The homeowner was so glad that a solution had been found and that he no longer had to worry about water entering the space.

We sent out our Design Specialist, Mike Radosevich, to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. After an in-depth diagnosis, Tami trusted the process, so she scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production crew installed our WaterGuard System by breaking out the concrete to form a trench. Next, our crew applied our CleanSpace Wall System to prevent any further mold or humidity. Our crew covered the open trench gaps with rock and replaced the concrete.

A homeowner in Postville, IA distressed after discovering their standing water in their basement. Frantically searching for a solution, the homeowner looked for the quickest respondent to their emergency. The homeowner looked into "flooded basement repair near Postville, IA" and one of the first companies to show up was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and we set their FREE estimate with Brady, one of our Iowa-based Design Specialsits. Brady traveled to Postville and inspected the entire basement. During his investigation, Brady noticed several issues with the foundation, which led to the issues regarding flooding.  Brady completed the estimate and told the homeowner of the issues he discovered and how we could solve them. After hearing Brady's proposal, the homeowner knew it was their best option. The homeowner agreed with the solution, so Brady sent the plans to the office to build the project. Once the project was built, they sent the plans to our Foreman, Juan, and his crew. Juan and his crew traveled to the home and started the project. First, Juan and his crew began by installing the WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Once the WaterGuard channels were dug, the crew put two TripleSafe Sump Pumps into place. Next, the crew attached 14 GeoLock Wall anchors to secure the foundation. Finally, the crew wrapped up the project by attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Once all the products were installed, Juan and his crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the transformation completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to fully waterproof and stabilize its customer's basements.
