Before & After Photos

Kevin L. in Galesville, WI had dealt with a wet basement for the last 40 years, and he was finally tired of it. He did his research and learned that American Waterworks has been the leading waterproofing contractor in the region for the last 30 years. He met with one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, who evaluated the situation and designed a unique solution. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production crew were able to successfully waterproof Kevin’s basement by installing 160 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard French drain is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. Kevin is happy he found a permanent solution to protect his home. 

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, had just learned that his neighbor had his home tested for radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangers of radon gas but decided to find a radon specialist near La Crosse, WI. During his search, he decided to head to a home improvement store to test the levels of radon in his home himself. When he found our website, he was impressed with other radon system installations we had done in his area. He decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later our Design Specialist, Nate B, headed out to the home. 

When Nate arrived, the homeowner informed him that he had tested his home and that the levels had come back higher than average. Nate then inspected the house and found the best place for a radon mitigation system. Nate explained that 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. He went on to say that when installed by an experienced radon specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health agencies. The homeowner liked Nate's suggestion and signed for the project on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota M, made quick work of the installation. When he had finished, our customer was thrilled to know that the air circulating in his home was radon-free! 

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI, discovered wet spots throughout their basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowners knew they needed to find a professional to assist them. The homeowner looked into "local basement contractors" and one of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our five-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once their estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Michel. A few days later, Michel traveled to the home to begin the thorough inspection. During the inspection, Michel confirmed that several areas were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent the issue from continuing, Michel recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Michel's recommendations. Next, Michel passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project for a few months later. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Lane, and his crew started by installing WaterGuard in the basement. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the eye-catching transformation made by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customer's damaged basements. 

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI, noticed signs of mold growth and water leaking through the joint between the wall and the footing. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew he needed expert advice and began searching for basement waterproofing contractors in La Crosse, WI, and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our basement transformations, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dustin A., arrived at the home to assess the basement. During the inspection, Dustin confirmed that the home is experiencing water issues due to a failed footing drain. When this fails, water easily saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then forces itself through cracks in the walls, between the footing and the wall, or beneath the footing. To fix this issue, Dustin recommended installing WaterGuard, our patented below-the-floor perimeter drainage system that collects water and safely sends it to the sump pump, TripleSafe, our superior sump pump system with three levels of protection, including a battery backup pump, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in sub-zero temperatures. After reviewing Dustin's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Lane S., arrived at the home for the installation. The crew installed 69ft of WaterGuard along the perimeter of the basement, 1 TripleSafe, and 2 IceGuard. After everything was properly installed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in La Crosse, WI was looking to have her outdated wood paneling in her basement replaced with something a little more attractive and water resistant. As you can see in the before photo, the wood paneling and concrete walls do not go well together. And it looks like she may have previously had water damage in the area. 

American Waterworks replaced the outdated wall with our BrightWall basement wall panel system.  The BrightWall panels will work great in conjunction with her previously installed basement waterproofing system to keep her basement dry and comfortable. You can see in the after photo that the wall panels are durable, easy to clean and definitely brighten up her basement.
