Before & After Photos

In Rochester, MN, a homeowner noticed some damp spots in their basement and was concerned about mold growth. With their annual maintenance coming up, they knew it was best to address the issue rather than wait. 

On the scheduled appointment date, our Service Technician arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, they took a close look at the GeoLock we previously installed, tightening them, and ensured there was no foundation movement. Then, they addressed the homeowners concern, taking note of the areas where water leaks could be seen and testing the humidity levels. After reporting their findings, our Service Technician worked on a solution to waterproof the basement. They recommended using WaterGuard, our interior drainage system that directs water leaks to the sump system, SuperSump+, our reliable sump system capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge system that allows water to escape the sump system during freezing temperatures. Happy with their past experience with us, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Lane S., and his crew arrived for the installation. The crew successfully installed 36ft of WaterGuard, 1 SuperSump+, and 1 IceGuard.

Susan N. in Cambridge, MN had water leaking into her unfinished basement. She wanted to have her basement finished at some point, so she knew she needed to find a solution to her water problem. She discovered American Waterworks and was pleased to see that we have been waterproofing experts for almost 3 decades. She decided to contact us for a FREE estimate, so we sent a Design Specialist to her home. She was pleased with his plan to restore her basement, so she scheduled the installation of our waterproofing system. 

Our production crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system and lateral lines that lead to the TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe is our most reliable sump pump system that is backed by three layers of protection. The process took two days, but now Susan no longer has to be concerned about water seeping into her home and she can now finish her basement.

Karla A. of Cambridge, MN had water leaking through her window, causing her to worry about her home. She found American Waterworks on HomeAdvisor, so she got in touch with our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad. Chad went to Karla's home, inspected her pre-existing window, and proposed our SunHouse Window Well, which is the perfect product to replace old, rotted, and debris-filled window wells. Karla was confident in the product, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Raul B., and his crew dug out a small portion of the soil, took out the pre-existing window well, and replaced it with our SunHouse Window Well and its cover. Karla was happy with the job and her peace of mind was restored.

In Fifty Lakes, MN, a homeowner came upon an article that discusses the dangers radon poses in homes. Through the article, he learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As uranium decays, it produces radium, which eventually turns into radon gas. Since uranium is in soil, it makes radon unavoidable. Worried that his family was breathing in the toxic fumes, he decided to look into services in the area. He came upon our website and was pleased to see our Before and After photos of our radon mitigation system. He quickly contacted us to claim his FREE estimate and scheduled an appointment with our Design Specialist.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, James N., arrived at the home to start the radon monitoring test. He set this test up in the lowest level of the home and explained to the homeowner that the test would need to run for at least 48 hours. James reassured the homeowner that his decision to have the home tested was good as we cannot see, touch, smell, taste, or hear radon. He further explained that we offer a radon mitigation system that uses a large-diameter plastic pipe that suctions out the air beneath your foundation and vents it outdoors. The homeowner was thankful for James's permanent solution to prevent dangerous radon levels in the future. 

In about a week, the test results came back above 4 pCi/L, which is the Environmental Protection Agency's required action level for radon. The homeowner contacted us to schedule the installment of our radon mitigation system. 

In a couple of weeks, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, Jackson P., arrived at the home for the installation. When he finished installing the system, the homeowner was relieved he no longer had to worry about breathing in the toxic fumes.

Allen M. of Protivin, IA had water leaking in his basement so he called American Waterworks to set up a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Brian Ramirez, went to his home to inspect the problem and come up with a solution. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production team broke out the concrete perimeter of the basement floor to form a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System which is designed to collect wall seepage and serve as an "underground drain." Our crew filled the open gaps with rock and replaced the existing concrete. Allen was grateful we were able to save the life of his basement!
