American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Martin D. in Lansing, IA has a two-story home with a walk-in basement built into a steep hillside. His home was built right next to the Mississippi River. They have had problems with their basement flooding for several years, especially during heavy rains. They were tired of dealing with a wet basement, so they contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Mike Radosevich, went to the home to inspect the basement and provide them with the right solution. After meeting with Mike, Martin felt confident in our company and our products, so he chose to have our waterproofing system installed. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor, a TripleSafe sump pump in the corner, and a SaniDry dehumidifier, which keeps the humidity in the basement under control. The drainage system guides water to the sump pump, and from there the water is expelled from the home through the discharge line. Martin is happy with the outcome and has been able to enjoy a dry, healthier basement since the installation!

A customer from Lansing, IA got in contact with us when they began to fear that their home may be inhibited by Radon, a colorless, odorless, naturally occurring gas that comes from the breakdown and decay of the soil that surrounds the foundation of the home. When our customer called in, we set them up with a FREE no-obligation estimate. Our Design Specialist, Jarrett, headed out to the property to see what could be done. He began by performing a 48-hour charcoal test, which he left behind to monitor the levels of Radon in the home. Once completed, the home was found to have unsafe levels of Radon. Jarrett recommended the installation of a Radon mitigation system and the couple agreed. 

Our Production crew, led by Dakota, installed the system in no time. Now, our customers don't need to worry about breathing hazardous gas in their home! 

Bob W. of Luana, IA had water leaking through the floor of his basement, causing him to worry about damage to property and his downstairs bathroom. He got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to his home, carefully inspected his water leaks, and drew up a solution that worked for him and his home repair needs. Bob was confident in our proposal and felt confident in our products and warranties, so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which prevents water clogs, serves as an underground drain, and collects water leakage from basement walls. Next, our team broke out half of the wall around the entire basement wall perimeter and installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which prevents the build-up of mold and mildew, covers any holes or divots, and serves as a protective blanket, while also saving money on energy bills. To complete the project, our team filled the open floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Bob had a great experience with our team and was happy with the work that was performed! 

Along with basement waterproofing, we also perform services in foundation repair, sump pump systems, crawl space repair/encapsulation, radon testing/mitigation, egress windows, and radon testing/mitigation. Call us today or click HERE to request a free estimate! 

A Rockland, WI, homeowner had been observing her front concrete walkway sinking slowly over the years. She was worried that the sunken concrete would hinder the home from being sold at full value one day, so she decided to search for WI concrete repair companies. When she found our website, she decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo V, headed out to the home. 

Once Romeo completed his inspection of the sunken concrete, he informed the homeowner that American Waterworks could address the sinking concrete with the help of our PolyLevel method. Romeo explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete. It fills voids left by soil erosion and works to lift the sunken concrete back into place. Romeo went on to say that he was also recommending the installation of our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant works to prevent moisture from getting below the slab and essentially guards the vulnerable soil below. The homeowner liked the sound of Romeo's plan and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Pat B, and his team completed the lift and seal with no issues. Now, our homeowner can resell her home in the future knowing that her concrete is in tip-top shape!

Paul W. is the owner of this newly built home in Chaseburg, WI. During the construction, the contractor realized that Paul needed to have a waterproofing system installed because of the amount of water that was entering the home through the basement. With the contractor’s advice, Paul contacted us to get a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, to the home to evaluate the situation and provide Paul with a solution. Paul understood the consequences he would face if he chose not to have a waterproofing system installed, and he like the thorough plan that Mac developed, so he scheduled an installation. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed a full perimeter of our WaterGuard drainage system, which led to the TripleSafe sump pump. Once the water drains to the sump pump, it is then pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. They also installed a perimeter of our CleanSpace vapor barrier to reduce moisture and humidity. CleanSpace also makes the basement a more energy efficient space. After we finished the installation of our waterproofing system, the construction team poured concrete and continued the development of the home.
