American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Bryan H. of Clear Lake, IA had a cracked foundation wall in his basement, causing him to worry about further bowing or cracking. He called American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Dylan Woitas. Dylan went to his home, inspected his wall, and drew up the solution of our GeoLock Wall Anchors. Bryan understood its design and got all of his questions answered so he went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production team began the project by digging three small holes outside of the home beyond the foundation. In the basement, Jesus and his crew inserted a long, metal rod to each hole outside, and tightened and screwed on a GeoLock Wall Anchor to the end of each rod. The wall anchor system permanently stabilizes a foundation wall by anchoring the wall to the compact soil and pulling it back to its original position. After installation, wall anchors can be tightened over time to further straighten the wall. To complete the installation, Jesus and his team backfilled the holes and replaced the soil. Bryan said he was happy with the project! 

Susan B. of Clear Lake, IA had sagging floor joists and water leaking into her crawl space, and it made her worry about the structural build of her home. She did research online and came across American Waterworks. She called our office line to learn more information and request a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to her home, inspected her crawl space, and drew out a detailed plan. Susan was comfortable with the presentation and proposal, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his production team began the project by installing our drainage matting. The purpose of drainage matting is to direct the water flooding the crawl space into the perimeter crawl space drain and sump pump system. Next, our team installed our Foamax Wall Panels around the crawl space perimeter. Our Foamax is a foam insulation that reduces moisture condensation, provides comfort, and makes the walls look nice and bright. Then, our crew installed our CleanSpace Encapsulation Vapor Barrier on top of the drainage matting. Our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier is made to stop moisture from passing through the walls and floors. Lastly, Juan and his team installed our crawl space SmartJacks, which provides solid support for sagging beams and restores the stability in a crawl space. Susan had a remarkable experience! 

Darren M. of Clear Lake, IA had bowing walls in his basement, making him worry about the structural build of his home. He called our office staff and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to his home, inspected his walls, and proposed our PowerBraces Foundation Repair System. Darren got all of his questions answered, so he got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Dylon VanCanneyt, and his production crew installed our PowerBraces along the bowed foundation wall, providing the wall with the ability to straighten over time. Over time, our PowerBraces can be tightened by the homeowner to ensure the system is sticking to its design. Darren was thrilled with the work, and his peace of mind was restored!

Dean P. of Clear Lake, IA had water leaking into the corner of his basement due to heavy rains. It had been happening for quite some time so he decided to do something about it. He got in contact with our company and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell. Ryan went to his home, looked at the issue, and proposed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain and our CleanSpace Wall System. Dean was confident in Ryan's proposal so he scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman, Raul Barroso, and his production crew began the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain which serves as a drainage system, collects water leaks from basement walls, and has easily accessible service ports when the time comes for annual maintenance. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System, which prevents mold and humidity, covers large holes and divots, and gives the basement a clean appearance. To complete the project, our team filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Dean was very satisfied with the work that was done!

Wanting to prevent any mold growth and get rid of musty odors, a homeowner in Clear Lake, IA decided to look for a service in the nearby area that would help their needs. They came across our American Waterworks website and team by looking up services in the area and were interested in our FREE estimate service. They scheduled an appointment and in the coming weeks were greeted by one of our Design Specialists, Nick Skillman. He informed the homeowner that an excellent solution to the problems they were having included the installation of our products, CleanSpace and SmartJacks. He explained that CleanSpace insulation would help protect their crawl space from moisture and humidity from the walls. In addition, installing a SmartJack would provide solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. He explained that both of these products would be beneficial for the health of the homeowners and the quality of the house. A few weeks later, one of our Foreman, Diego Barrientos, and his crew made a visit to the site and installed the two products, resulting in a finished and clean crawl space.
