American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Heather C. in Sparta, WI had water leaking into her basement through her foundation wall causing damage to her home. She contacted American Waterworks, and one of our waterproofing experts, Rick Weber, designed a thorough solution. Heather was impressed with the solution, so she chose to move forward with the installation.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team started the installation by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor to create a trench for the WaterGuard. After installing the SuperSump sump pump and laying 182 feet of the WaterGuard, they replaced the concrete and installed the Foamax wall panels. Foamax is an advanced polyisocyanurate foam insulation panel designed to prevent condensation and make the basement a more comfortable space. Water is now properly expelled from the home and the walls have been permanently stabilized. Her basement is now a stable, dry and clean space. 

Sue A. in Sparta, WI was tired of dealing with a wet basement after heavy rains and snow melt. She had an older basement, and the water was seeping in through the small cracks where the wall meets the floor. She contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to meet with her and evaluate the situation. Rick designed a thorough plan and assured Sue that our waterproofing system would provide a permanent solution. 

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production crew were able to successfully waterproof Bryan’s basement by first removing the concrete around the inside perimeter of the basement. Next, they installed 78 feet of our WaterGuard drainage System and our SuperSump sump pump. Then, they installed two feet of our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls, filled the gaps with rock, and replaced the concrete. Water is now guided through the WaterGuard, to the SuperSump, and is quietly, and efficiently discharged from the home. Sue was thrilled with the results, and glad she chose to invest in a permanent solution for her home.  

Janice B. in Necedah, WI noticed a foul smell and rust-colored water building up in her yard and seeping into her basement, clogging the sump pump. She contacted American Waterworks, and we sent our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, to her home to evaluate her situation. He discovered that Janice had a buildup of iron ochre in her old sump pump and outside her home. He explained that it is not a known health hazard but can quickly clog a French drain system and cause damage to pipes and plumbing systems. He presented her with our WaterGuard IOS Perimeter Drain Channel, which is ideal for managing this problem. Janice was impressed with Rick’s presentation and our products and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew replaced her old sump pump and installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is backed by three layers of protection and can easily take on the challenge of iron ochre. Our sump pumps are able to pump out ½" solids without clogging. Janice was impressed with the installation and is happy knowing her sump pump is free of iron ochre infiltration. 

Diane B. in Sparta, WI contacted American Waterworks after seeing one of our commercials on TV. She noticed her garage floor was uneven, and she feared the problem was only going to get worse. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Brian Ramirez, to meet with Diane and evaluate the situation. After his inspection, Brian recommended our Foundation Push Pier System to provide a permanent solution to her settlement issue. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew started the installation by excavating the soil surrounding the home where the foundation had started settling until they reached the bottom of the footings. Then, they secured brackets under the footings and inserted the piers until they hit competent, supportive soil. The piers transfer the weight of the home to the supportive soil, preventing further settlement. The crew wrapped up the project with installing our frost protection system to protect against frost damage. Then, they replaced the soil and cleaned up their work area. Diane was happy she chose to invest in the stability of her home, and we are glad we could restore her peace of mind! 

A homeowner in Sparta, WI was unhappy with the way her front stoop looked. She noticed that it had sunken a lot over the years and could easily see the line where it was supposed to be. She was hoping to find a solution to raise it back up rather than have to replace the stoop as a whole. Finding the American Waterworks website in her concrete repair search, she was immediately interested in our FREE no-obligation estimates. She signed up for her own and was greeted by Design Specialist Will Reader. Will inspected the area and assured the homeowner that the problem was fixable with the help of two products. The homeowner was pleased with the plan and agreed for the installation process to move forward. We sent over one of our Foremen, Troy Johnson, and his crew to the site where they carefully lifted the stoop with PolyLevel foam and sealed the open joints with NexusPro sealant. The homeowner was glad to have the stoop raised again and looking even better than before thanks to our team.
