Mrs. H of Mason City, IA had cracked foundation walls in her basement and she was worried about the stability and structural hold of her home. She got in touch with our office and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to her home, carefully inspected her foundation walls, and drew up a solution that worked for her and her needs. Mrs. H was confident in our proposal, so she moved forward with the project and scheduled a date for the installation.
Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his production team began the project by digging six holes outside of the home, beyond the foundation. Next, our team inserted a long, metal rod from the inside foundation to each hole outside of the home. On the ends of each rod, our team installed an anchor plate to hold the rod in place. From the inside of the basement, our team installed a GeoLock Wall Anchor on each rod to stabilize the foundation wall. This combination allows the wall to straighten back into its original position. To complete the installation, our team backfilled the holes, packed the dirt with soil, and ensured the yard looked better than when they found it. Mrs. H had a wonderful experience and was very satisfied with the work that was done!

Alanna D. of Mason City, IA had leaking basement walls, causing her to worry about water moisture and mold. She went to her local home show and saw our booth, presenting our basement waterproofing products. She talked to our Design Specialist, Ryan, who was running the show, and scheduled a FREE estimate. Ryan went to her home, carefully inspected her water problems, and drew out a solution that would repair her basement and peace of mind. She was confident in Ryan's proposal, so she went ahead with the project.
Our Foreman, Jeromy, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor where the floor and wall meet, forming a trench. Inside the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Our WaterGuard is the most common interior drainage system that we provide for homeowners because of its easily accessible service ports, its ability to prevent water clogs, and its design to collect water from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier around the wall perimeter, which prevents mold and humidity, and saves money on energy costs. To finish the installation, our team filled the open gaps with river rock and added new concrete over them. Alanna was happy with the work that was done, and had a great experience!
Joe L. of Mason City, IA had his home built in 1893 with a bowing basement wall. He wanted to get it repaired by removing the old bricks and replacing them with concrete. Thankfully, he saw an American Waterworks commercial on television and was interested in our foundation repair products. He called our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan. Dylan went to his home, carefully inspected his bowing wall, and proposed our ShotLock. Joe was confident in the product and its warranty, so he went ahead with the installation.
Our Foreman, Matt, and his crew installed 20 feet of our ShotLock System. Our ShotLock is a special spray-on solution that rebuilds a deteriorating foundation. It is twice as strong as standard concrete and it is compatible with some of our other foundation repair systems. The installation took a couple of days, and Joe was amazed by the difference that it made.

Lynn and Janet P. of Mason City, IA had a wet basement and they wanted to get it waterproofed before it got any worse.

Our Design Specialist drew up a couple of solutions that Lynn and Janet could choose and differentiate between.

Our Foreman and his production team began the project by jackhammering out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a drainage trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which prevents water clogs, collects water leakage from walls, and has easily accessible service ports in case of a service call or check-up on the system. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is made to prevent humidity and mold build-up, serve as a protective and energy-efficient blanket, and cover any holes or divots in the foundation. To complete the installation, our Foreman and his team filled the open gaps with rock and applied a new layer of concrete over them, ensuring the space looked neater than when they found it.
Marlene F. of Mason City, IA had a cracked concrete garage floor, and she could not pursue her siding project with it like that. One of her contractor contacts recommended American Waterworks concrete services. She called our office line and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to her home, carefully examined her concrete problems, and proposed our NexusPro. Marlene got all of her questions answered about the product, so she went ahead with the project.
Our Foreman and his crew member applied 63.5 feet of our NexusPro over the garage floor cracks. Our NexusPro is a special sealant that prevents moisture from invading the cracks and gives the concrete a neat and clean appearance. Along with that, it is also waterproof and does not bubble or foam up. Marlene was thrilled with the work and loved the view of her new garage floor!
