American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Having a wet or damp basement can create more than just a headache. Problems like these can cause larger problems like mold, mildew, rot, structural damage, and health problems. If you have noticed any symptoms such as a wet basement floor or walls, standing water, smelly odors, condensation, sump pump problems, or leaky basement windows, it is time to get in contact with a professional to come and inspect your basement. 

A resident of Thompson, ND was seeing similar problems like this, so he got in contact with American Waterworks after doing some research. He got a FREE estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Richie Noreen. Richie went to the resident's home, inspected the basement, and determined a solution that would work for them and their needs. He proposed our WaterGuard Drainage System and a feed line to the sump pump. The homeowner was confident in the proposal after getting their questions answered, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron Pjrakonekham, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGaurd Below Floor Drain, which prevents water clogs, collects water leakage from basement walls, and serves as an underground drain. Next, our team formed a feed line from one side of the WaterGuard to the sump pump. The purpose of a feed line is to transport water from high influx areas to the sump pump. The homeowner was happy with the work that was completed!

Gary, from Lake Lillian, MN, began to notice a bow in the foundation walls of his lake home. The bowing of the wall resulted in cracks within the foundation, allowing water to seep through and causing a wet basement. Gary decided to call  American Waterworks and claim his FREE estimate, which entitled him to a complete home inspection. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed to the home. He began a thorough home inspection to get a proper diagnosis of the situation and provide the best solutions to help Gary not only solve his issue but prevent any other issues from arising. Once the inspection was done, Shane recommended that Gary invest in our PowerBrace Wall System. Gary agreed with the solution and proceeded to schedule a date of installation.

Once set, our Foreman, Kiko, and his crew began strategically placing PowerBraces around the basement, inserting 5 9' PowerBraces to stabilize the wall further. The PowerBrace system is an I-shaped beam that stabilizes and helps straighten the bow of the wall over time. The PowerBrace system is drilled into the home's support beams and the concrete on which the house lies. The team also inserted 6 GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the issue. This innovative system stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation; the anchors can be tightened over time. 

Now Gary lives worry-free, and the foundation of his lake home is in jeopardy of worsening. If you are experiencing a similar issue, contact American Waterworks today and claim your FREE estimate!! 

Wanda L. of Park River, ND had sagging floors, and she wanted to get them lifted and leveled. She had American Waterworks come out and do the work. Our Design Specialist, Kole, provided her with an educated solution on our SmartJacks, and our Foreman, Ryan, and his production installed the system. Once the project was completed, Wanda's peace of mind was at ease and she was grateful we were able to help her and match her timeframe.

A homeowner in Kanawha, IA, was worried their foundation crack was going to cause serious issues to their home. Concerned this could cause structural damage to their home, the homeowner began looking into foundation repair near Kanawha, IA. The homeowner looked into "fix basements in Iowa" and one of the first companies to show up was us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our services, the homeowner was impressed with our work. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Brady, to the home to begin the detailed inspection. Brady traveled to the home and began the thorough inspection of the basement. During his investigation, Brady determined the north wall was struggling the most and required stabilization. Brady was able to come up with a solution that would permanently stabilize the wall, so he presented his proposal to the homeowner. Once the homeowner heard the proposal, they knew it was the best option for their home. Brady sent the proposal to our office to receive the final stamp of approval. After our Logistics team approved the plans, they scheduled it with our Foreman, Chris, and his crew. As soon as they received the plans, Chris and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First, Chris and his crew installed 12 GeoLock Wall Anchors along the north wall. The crew secured the interior and exterior anchors to ensure the wall would stay stable. Once all the GeoLocks were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a kind review. American Waterworks is happy to repair your struggling foundation walls. 

Jeremy, from Halstad, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice that his basement wall was beginning to crack, showing clear signs of wall failure. Jeremy didn't want to risk compromising the structural integrity of the home more than it already was, so he decided to give us a call. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate. A few weeks later our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property to complete his inspection. Once he concluded, he recommended the use of our PowerBrace system, steel I-beams that will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustments. Richie informed Jeremy that our PowerBraces have the option to be tightened over time, giving them added effectiveness. Jeremy agreed with Richie's recommendations. Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Tremaine, ended up installing 6 of our PowerBraces throughout the space. Once the job was complete, Jeremy was happy to know he no longer needed to worry about his foundation issue.
