American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Cara from Sargeant, MN noticed water coming into her basement at the base of the stairs. This was especially worrisome for Cara since she knew this could potentially damage her valuables. Cara contacted our Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled her FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick headed out to Cara's property and began a thorough inspection of the home to obtain a proper diagnosis of the home and prevent any other issues from arising. Rick proposed that the best solution to the issues she was experiencing was to invest in our WaterGuard and TripleSafe Sump Pump System. Cara agreed with the proposal and scheduled the date of installation. 

Our Foreman, Crescencio, and his production crew started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and ability to collect leaking water from basement walls.

Next up was our TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience. Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home, the battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. Once the job is done, the production team then places a new layer of concrete around the TripleSafe to provide a cleaner and more finished look.

To complete the project, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. 

 Cara was happy with the work and had a great experience with our production crew! If you are experiencing a similar issue, please give us a call and claim your FREE estimate today!

Les K. in Rockwell, IA was concerned about the amount of water seeping into his basement after heavy rains and snow melt. It started causing serious damage to his home and making it a musty, unhealthy space. He contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, and our Design Specialist, Pete Wangen, proposed a permanent solution. Les approved of the plan and moved forward with the installation date. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his crew started the project with installing 42 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system and our SuperSump sump pump. Our waterproofing system is backed by a lifetime warranty, so Les has peace of mind that he chose the right solution to protect his basement.

A homeowner in Rockwell, IA, noticed there was a large gap growing between their driveway and garage. Not wanting the gap to continue growing, the homeowner began looking into repair options near them. After hearing wonderful things about American Waterworks, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner awaited the arrival of Brady, one of our Design Specialists. Brady arrived at the home and started his detailed inspection of the concrete. Following his inspection, Brady confirmed the joints of the driveway needed to be replaced and the crack needed to be repaired. The homeowner agreed with Brady's suggestions, so the plans were directed to our Foreman, Sam, and his crew. Sam and his crew traveled to Rockwell and started the project. First, the crew began by taking out all the old joints and replacing them with the NexusPro Joint Sealant. After all the joints were taken out and replaced, Sam and his crew filled the cracks with the NexusPro Crack Repair. After the cracks were filled and repaired, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the yard as good as new. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew and left a lovely review. American Waterworks is happy to assist their homeowners in repairing damaged concrete. 

Shannon G. in Oronoco, MN had a large crack in the foundation wall on the back of his garage. He knew that he would be taking a large risk if he chose to wait to repair his foundation, because it could fail at any time, and become a much larger expense. He started researching foundation repair companies when he saw an advertisement for American Waterworks. He decided to call us for a FREE estimate, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to his home to inspect his foundation problem and find a solution. Rick talked him through his options and he developed a plan that was the most beneficial for him. After meeting with Rick and getting his questions and concerns addressed, Shannon felt that we were the best fit for him, so he scheduled a date for the installation.

Our crew installed 4 wall anchors from the outside of his garage into the soil underneath the concrete in the garage. They drilled long rods through the brick until they hit supportive soil. They removed the concrete in the garage where they would need to put on the plates for the anchors. They installed the plates on either end of the rod and tightened the anchors. Lastly, they replaced the concrete and cleaned up their work area. The anchors secure and stabilize the wall. They continue to straighten the walls and can be tightened over time as the wall gradually moves back into place. Our foundation repair systems are guaranteed for a lifetime, so Shannon can rest easy knowing he chose a permanent solution to protect the foundation of his home.

Heather J. in Oronoco, MN received high results after testing for radon in her home. She was concerned about her health and safety, so she contacted American Waterworks for more information on our Radon Mitigation System. She chose to have our Mitigation System installed as soon as possible. 

Our Foreman, Dakota Merchlewitz, installed our radon mitigation system in less than one day! The U-tube manometer indicates the vacuum pressure inside the radon system. This will let you know if the radon fan is working or not. If the tops of the red liquid are equal, the fan may not be working or may have been turned off. The U-tube is designed to indicate that the system is actually on and at what pressure. Only a radon test can indicate the levels of radon.
