Malfunctioning Sump Pump Repaired in La Crescent, MN

A homeowner in La Crescent, MN, discovered water damage around their basement. Worried there was further damage, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. The homeowner went to a local Facebook group and asked for any recommendations. Several of them recommended working with us, American Waterworks, so they called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Dustin, one of our Design Specialists. Dustin arrived at the home and started his thorough inspection of the basement. Following his inspection, Dustin determined the basement needed to be fully waterproofed and the sump pump replaced. Dustin proposed his recommendations to the homeowner and they agreed. After receiving approval from the homeowner, they passed the plans to the office for finalization. Once finalized, they were sent to our Field Supervisor, Rene, and his crew to begin the project. Rene and his crew arrived at the home and began the installation. First, the crew installed WaterGuard in the western corner of the basement. Once the WaterGuard was installed, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. After the SuperSump+ was secured, the crew cleaned up the materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide its homeowners peace of mind.

Wet Basement Fixed in Prairie Du Chien, WI

Monica S. of Prairie Du Chien, WI had water leaking through the walls in her basement, making her worry about humidity and mold problems. She went to her local home show and came across our booth where she met our Design Specialist, Rick. Monica and Rick discussed her issues and Rick signed her up for a free estimate to get her basement looked at. Rick went to her home, carefully inspected and diagnosed the problems in her basement, and provided a solution that worked for her and her home repair needs. Monica was comfortable with Rick's proposal, so she went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Kiko, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which prevents water and mud clogs, collects water seepage from basement walls, and serves as an underground drain that works efficiently with the basement sump pump. Next, Kiko and his team installed our FoamMax Wall Panels around the wall perimeter. Our FoamMax makes the walls look clean and bright, reduces condensation, and provides heavy protection from moisture. To complete the installation, Kiko and his crew filled the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Monica was happy with the repairs and had a great experience! 

Not only do we provide work in basement waterproofing. We also perform services in foundation repair, crawl space repair/waterproofing, radon testing/mitigation, egress windows, and concrete repair/lifting. Call us today or click HERE to request your free estimate with our team!

 

High Radon Levels Mitigation in Prairie Du Chien, WI

A homeowner in Prairie Du Chien, WI, recently learned of the dangerous health risk radon poses in households. The homeowner learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, a naturally occurring radioactive element that can be found in soil. As the soil decays, it releases radon and creates a high toxicity level in the air. Concerned that her family was unknowingly breathing in the toxic fumes, the homeowner decided to purchase a radon testing kit. After a couple of days, the results were above 4 pCi/L, which is the EPA's required action level for radon. The homeowner then found our website and contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Michel R., arrived at the home for the inspection. Michel explained to the homeowner that radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer, so it was good that she contacted us to install our radon mitigation system. Michel then created a design where our radon mitigation would be installed, and the homeowner agreed and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, one of our crews arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing a PVC pipe into the footing of the home. The pipe is then connected to the radon mitigation system that is installed outside of the home. After the crew was done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Now, our customer can breathe in fresh indoor air! When was the last time you tested the radon levels of your home? Click HERE to schedule your FREE estimate today!

 

Sunken and Uneven Stoop in Trempealeau, WI

Lesley E. in Trempealeau, WI had 3 concrete slabs on her sidewalk up to the house that had become uneven and had started to chip.  She wanted to find a non-invasive and affordable way to repair the concrete so she started researching contractors in her area. She came across American Waterworks and was interested in learning more about our PolyLevel foam concrete repair solution. She gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Kevin McWithey, to her home to give her a FREE onsite estimate. 

She was pleased to learn that PolyLevel is a faster and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair, while still being durable, so she set a date for the installation. One of our PolyLevel experts, Jared Wroblewski, drilled penny-size holes into the concrete slabs where he needed to inject the foam. He then injected the foam until the concrete was raised and leveled back to its original position. Lastly, he filled the cracks with our Nexus Pro sealant. The entire process took about two hours, and now Lesley can enjoy a level front porch and walkway for years to come!
