Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Plum City, WI, was reading a local newspaper when she found an article on radon gas. She had never heard of radon before, but from what she read, she understood that the dangers of radon were very high. She decided to find a radon mitigation specialist in her area to help restore peace of mind in her home. When she found our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Chuck H, was headed out to the home. In the meantime, the homeowner headed to her local home improvement store and purchased an at-home radon level test. When the test returned with high levels, she knew she had made the right choice by contacting us. 

When Chuck arrived, she informed him that the levels in the home were high, so Chuck began his inspection by scouting out the best spot for a mitigation system. When he was finished, Chuck met with the homeowner and informed her that he was strongly recommending a radon mitigation system. He 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 finished by saying that, when installed by an experienced professional, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health safety agencies. The homeowner liked the sound of Chuck's plan, and the two worked together to find a date for the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota, led his team through a successful installation of the radon mitigation system. Now, our customer has restored faith in the air circulating her home! 

A homeowner in Wabasha, MN, noticed a funky smell around their home. Unsure of the cause of the smell, the homeowner began to do some investigating. Upon further investigation, the homeowner discovered the scent was strongest in the basement. Having a hunch this may lead to a bigger issue, the homeowner wanted to have a basement expert inspect their home. Knowing there were many options around them, the homeowner decided to research the 'best basement repair near Wabasha, MN'. The company at the top of the list was us, American Waterworks. The homeowner decided to look closer into our website and was immediately impressed. After seeing we offer FREE estimates, they decided to give us a try. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mike, to inspect the basement further. Mike performed the estimate and discovered the scent was coming from the crawl space. Additionally, Mike alerted the homeowner that their home had high radon levels. Mike recommended encapsulating the crawl space and a radon mitigation system be placed. The homeowners agreed with Mike's recommendations, and the plans were passed on to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. First, the crew cleaned the debris out of the crawl space. Once the crawl space was cleared, the crew could install the CleanSpace and Drainage Matting. Then, the crew shifted their focus to installing the Radon Mitigation System outside the home. Once the Radon Mitigation System was properly installed, the crew was able to clean up their job site and leave the home. The homeowners were relieved to know the musty smell was gone and the radon threat was eliminated. American Waterworks is happy to make another home safe. 

A homeowner from Wabasha, MN, was worried about her basement. Each time it rained, her sump pump had a harder and harder time keeping up with the water intrusion. The homeowner didn't know who to call for leaky basement but quickly found American Waterworks through the recommendation of friends and neighbors. A few weeks after claiming her FREE estimate, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to home to assess the basement leaks. 

When Ryan arrived he headed to the basement to begin his inspection. Once he completed his walkthrough, he sat down with the homeowner to go over his findings. Ryan began by informing the homeowner that she made the right decision by having American Waterworks out. He went on to say that leaky basements do not get better with time. In fact, they only worsen, dragging down home health and value with it. Ryan then stated that he was recommending three of our products to ensure the basement stayed dry. First, Ryan discussed our CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof plastic tarp-like material gets fastened directly to basement walls, and works to direct any water entering the space downward and into a perimeter drain. Most notably, our CleanSpace is anti-microbial, meaning it prevents bacteria and viruses from growing on the wall. To compliment this product, Ryan recommended our DryTrak perimeter drain. The CleanSpace on the walls is fed directly into the DryTrak. The DryTrak gives water entering a channel to flower freely to the proper disposal site. DryTrak reqyuires no jackhammering, is above to the mud zone to prevent clogging, and includes a lifetime warranty. Finally, Ryan wanted to give the basement a final line of defense, our SuperSump sump system, an effective yet economical decision to rid your basement of unwanted water. Our SuperSump includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. The homeowner was thrilled with Ryan's recommendations, and couldn't wait for her basement to be dry and healthy. 

Several weeks later our Foreman, Raul B, installed 30ft of DryTrak, 1 SuperSump, and 30ft of CleanSpace in the basement. Now, our customer can move forward without worries of leaky basements cause unexpected expenses! 

A homeowner in Saint Croix Falls, WI was suffering from a wet basement. After contacting American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, he decided that our waterproofing system was the right fit for his needs, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor and connected it to the TripleSafe sump pump- which is our most reliable sump pump. Water is now properly guided through the drainage system, into the sump pump, and then expelled from the home through the discharge line. 

The homeowner is now enjoying a dry, healthier home and they are glad they chose to invest in the protection of their basement. To learn more about our waterproofing system, click here! 

Following a heavy series of thunderstorms, a homeowner in Cushing, WI, noticed standing water throughout the building. Worried this was a sign of a major issue, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. Uncertain who to work with, the homeowner looked into "wet basement contractor near me," and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Nick, to arrive at the home. A few days later, Nick promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the property. During his inspection, Nick confirmed that several areas were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent this issue from worsening, Nick recommended installing WaterGuard along the north and west walls. Additionally, Nick recommended securing a SuperSump+ in the northwest corner of the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with Nick to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, Luis and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Luis and his crew started by securing the WaterGuard along the struggling walls. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew took out the old sump pump and replaced it with the SuperSump+. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. If you notice your home is suffering from a simliar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
