Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Merrillan, WI was having trouble with some old windows in their basement.  Every time it rained, the windows would leak water into the basement. The homeowner was tired of cleaning it up and needed a more permanent solution. They decided to call American Waterworks to find a fix to the problem!

We were able to prevent any further water damage to their basement by installing several new windows.  In addition to the windows, American Waterworks also installed several Sunhouses that go over the window outside. It made their basement a brighter, more pleasant space in their home.  

Kay H. in La Crescent, MN had water leaking into her basement. She was concerned about the high humidity and the damage it was causing. She saw advertising on one of our vehicles in her area and decided to give us a call. She met with one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, who inspected the home and proposed a permanent solution. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew began the waterproofing project by first removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installing our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump, which is backed by three levels of protection. Any water is now guided through the WaterGuard to the sump pump, and from there, is expelled from the home. Lastly, our SaniDry dehumidifier was put in place to take care of any humidity. Kay was happy with the project and glad her basement is now a dry, clean space. 

Kelly S. in La Crescent, MN contacted American Waterworks after being referred by another contractor. The home had an old sump pump that was unable to keep up with heavy rains and snow melt. She had water leaking into her basement, and she wanted a permanent solution. She met with Pete Wangen, one of our Design Specialists, who worked with Kelly to create a custom plan for her home. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and through the  middle of the floor, then laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they hung our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to further protect the space from moisture and mold. Then, they filled back the gaps in the floor with rock before replacing the concrete and cleaning up their work area. Kelly was pleased with the results and glad she made the investment to protect her home.

Mary M. of La Crescent, MN had water leaking through the floor of her basement at the end of her staircase, making her worry about the safety of her home. One of her friends referred to American Waterworks, so she called our office and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Mac Cole. Mac went to her home to inspect her basement and come up with a solution. Mary was confident in Mac's proposal, so she went ahead with the project.

Our Foreman, Tremaine Jackson and his production team broke out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which serves as an underground drain that leads to the outside of the home, prevents water clogs, and collects water seepage from basement walls. To complete the project, our crew covered the gaps under the WaterGuard with rock and applied new concrete. Mary said she had a wonderful experience and was grateful we were able to help her and her home repair needs! 

Jayne and Mark H. of Westgate, IA had water leaking in through their existing window into their basement, making them worry about a stained wall, flooding hazards, and water moisture.

Jayne and Mark got all of their questions answered about the product and were content with Rick's presentation, so they went ahead with the project.
