Before & After Photos

Following a heavy thunderstorm, a homeowner in Hawkeye, IA, noticed their basement was suffering from water damage. Uncertain of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a proper solution. The homeowner looked into "best basement waterproofing near me", and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew that we were the ideal choice for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, AJ. A few weeks later, AJ traveled to the home to begin the estimate. During the inspection, AJ noted that several areas were struggling from water damage. To prevent this issue from worsneing, AJ recommended securing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeowner agreed and worked with AJ to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Juan, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Juan and his crew started by securing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the SuperSump+. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their basement was properly waterproofed and repaired.

A homeowner in Mazeppa, MN was experiencing moisture and high humidity in his crawl space. Our team installed a vapor barrier system that transformed the homeowner's crawl space into a drier, healthier and more energy efficient space.

A homeowner from Mazeppa, MN, was chatting with his neighbor one morning when his neighbor informed him that he had his home tested for radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangerous gas but decided perhaps he should have his home tested as well. His neighbor had told him that American Waterworks offers radon testing in MN, so the homeowner decided to call us and schedule his FREE estimate. In the meantime, the homeowner headed to his local home improvement store to buy an at-home radon test. When the results came back high, he was confident that he had made the right choice by contacting American Waterworks. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Mac C, headed out to the home. He started the appointment by scouting the best place for a radon mitigation system for this home. When he finished, he met with the homeowner. Mac began by explaining that the homeowner had done the right thing by testing his home and calling us. Mac went on to say that the tricky thing about radon is that because it's odorless, colorless, and tasteless, it's impossible to know whether or not your home is infested without proper testing. Mac then went on to say that because the levels in the home were well above 4 pCi/Ls, he was recommending a radon mitigation system be installed in the home. He then 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. The homeowner liked the sound of Mac's plan and scheduled the job for some time later. 

Eventually, the day of the installation rolled around. Our Foreman, Dakota M, was able to successfully install the radon mitigation system without any worries. Now, our homeowner can be confident that only the healthiest air is circulating in his home. 

Stephen W. in Forest Lake, MN had water seeping into his basement and he did not have a sufficient sump pump to discharge the water from the home. He saw one of our waterproofing advertisements and decided it would be a good idea to get a FREE estimate to waterproof his basement.

Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, went to his home to inspect the situation and to develop a solution. Chad determined that the best way to ensure that Stephen would never have to worry about a wet basement would be to install WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement and then install a SuperSump sump pump to properly expel the water to the outside. Stephen agreed that this was the right plan for his basement, so we sent a crew to install our system.

The installation took a couple of days, but Steven will reap the benefits of this system for a lifetime. Since the installation, he has had a dry, clean basement. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Stephen can rest easy knowing he invested in permanently protecting his home from water seeping into his home and causing damage.
