Before & After Photos

During a thunderstorm, a homeowner in Eau Claire, WI, listened as his sump pump struggled to remove the water. Knowing that the Midwest weather can be unpredictable, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing contractors in the area and found us. After looking through our website and becoming drawn by our sump pumps, the homeowner contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In about a week, our Design Specialist, Ross, arrived at the home for the inspection. During the inspection, he talked to the homeowner to get a better understanding of their concerns. The homeowner explained that he is just looking to get his current sump pump working again, but wanted to keep it within his budget. Ross understood and recommended our Zoeller M-53 1/3 HP pump, which is capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, UltraSump, our battery backup pump that can operate during power outages, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line attachment that allows water to escape in case the sump pump discharge pipes freeze. Both pumps would be installed in the homeowner's current sump pump system, replacing the current broken pumps. After looking over Ross's proposal, the homeowner happily agreed and scheduled the installation date.

In about a week, our Foreman, Lane S., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began by taking out the old pump and replacing it with our Zoeller M-53 pump and UltraSump. Lastly, the crew installed 1 IceGuard outside of the home and connected it to the sump system. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Eau Claire, WI, noticed their home was uncomfortably cold. After further investigation, the homeowner determined that the source of the chill was the crawl space. Worried that this could lead to more serious issues, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide a proper solution. The homeowner looked into "crawl space repair company Eau Claire, WI". One of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to go ahead and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeonwer prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Mac. A few days later, Mac promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the crawl space. Once he completed the inspection, Mac confirmed the basement needed to be fully encapsulated. The homeowner agreed and worked with Mac to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Kevin, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, Kevin and his crew cleaned the rubble out of the crawl space. Then, they went ahead and secured Drainage Matting on the crawl space floor. After the Drainage Matting was secured, the crew shifted to attaching CleanSpace to the unfinished crawl space walls and floor. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is delighted to provide its customers peace of mind, knowing their crawl space was properly encapsulated.

Norbert L. of Eau Claire, WI had water seepage into his basement, causing his walls to dampen. He saw American Waterworks on television and called our office line to schedule a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist went to his house, examined his problems and his walls, and wrote out a detailed solution. Norbert was confident in our Design Specialist's proposal and presentation, so he signed the contract, wrote out a deposit check, and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System, which prevents water clogs and serves as an underground drain. Next, our team installed our FoamMax Wall Panels, which provides comfort and saves money on energy bills, while making the walls look bright and clean. Since it is an advanced kind of foam insulation, it reduces condensation for moisture protection. To complete the project, our Foreman and his crew filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them, ensuring the basement looked much neater and brighter than when they found it. 

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

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI, was struggling with a unique issue each time it rained. The sump pump that had been placed in a downstairs closet, was taking on too much water during heavy rain, causing the excess water to spill over the top and end up on the floor. The homeowner didn't want to risk doing permanent water damage to his basement, so he began to search for sump pump companies in Minnesota. After he found our website, he decided to set up his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. 

Once Derek completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his findings. He informed her that it's not uncommon for older sump pumps to have issues during times of heavy water intrusion. Derek went on to say that he was recommending an upgrade to the current system. Derek wanted to use our TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe is the most reliable sump pump system in our lineup. During normal times, It provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. The TripleSafe boasts a powerful cast-iron Zoeller 1/3 horsepower sump pump set at the lowest level. In times of heavy volumes of water, a second, more powerful Zoeller 1/2 hp pump will take over, keeping the basement dry no matter how heavy the rain is. The homeowner liked the sound of Derek's plan and scheduled the work for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our team headed out to the home to install the sump pump. Led by their Foreman, Jesus C, our team installed 1 sump pump in a new location in the basement. Now, our customer can enjoy her below-ground space without worries of standing water!

A homeowner from Eau Claire, WI, was doing a routine check on the crawl space beneath his home. When he headed into the space, he found that the crawl space was drafty, making it very cold. It suddenly occurred to him that the faulty space could be the culprit behind his cold floors each morning. After finding our website via an internet search, he signed up for his FREE estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Darin S, headed out to the home. 

Darin wasted no time getting down in the crawl space. When he finished, he was ready to make his recommendations. First, Darin recommended our  CleanSpace vapor barrier. This 100% waterproof tarp-like material gets installed directly to the walls of the crawl space and serves as a barrier between the harsh conditions outdoors and the crawl space. Darin then said that while he was in the crawl space, he observed some concerning attributes in the wooden beams. He explained that one of the beams providing mid-span support was showing signs of bending, which could lead to troubles with the floors above. Darin was concerned enough that he recommended our crawl space SmartJacks. The SmartJack Crawl Space Stabilizer is an adjustable supplemental support system used for sagging crawl spaces. It not only provides supplemental support to your failing structure -- it can also often lift failing floor joists or beams, restoring them to their original position. The homeowner was thankful for Darin's transparency and honesty and decided to schedule her project for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Francisco E, led his team through the successful installation of 570 sqft of CleanSpace, and 3 of our SmartJacks. Now, our customer can comfortably enjoy his home, knowing the foundation is as sturdy as ever!
