Nick Skillman
American Waterworks

Nick comes to us from South Dakota, where he worked for Blackburn Basement Systems for the last two years as a service technician. He recently relocated to Minnesota to continue his journey in the basement waterproofing industry. Nick believes that hard work, dedication, and attention to detail are important basics for making homeowners feel at ease and providing the best solutions for their home's needs. He specializes in our foundation and waterproofing division but is certified to perform inspections for all of our services. In addition to his two years with Basement Systems, he has eight years of experience being an HVAC service technician. When Nick isn’t out in the field, he enjoys ice fishing, archery, fishing, camping, and hosting cookouts with his friends and family.
