American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Alisha, a homeowner in Stanton, ND, was searching for assistance with her basement issues. Groundwater was leaking through the cement floors and cinder block walls; the water stayed close to the foundation and saturated the area. She thought that our team could help with possible solutions, from sump pumps to sealing the block, so she called for FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Richie, traveled to his home to take a look around. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to recommend a plan to transform the basement into a healthy, clean space. 

Dylan, our Foreman, headed out to the house with his crew and got to work. First, they created a full-perimeter WaterGuard System with a lateral feed line where issues were present. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed 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. To complete the WaterGuard project, our team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. The crew then added a half-wall of our CleanSpace to encapsulate the basement to prevent moisture and mold from affecting the rest of the foundation. Then, our crew inserted our SuperSump® Premier Pump System. It is engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods, even during heavy water intrusion. The SuperSump® includes a powerful Zoeller® ⅓ horsepower cast-iron sump pump, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons of water per hour at an 8-foot head out of your basement. To direct water away from the home's foundation so that it would not leak back into the basement, the team added a 30-foot discharge line from the West end of the basement. Furthermore, American Waterworks can help prevent wintertime freeze-up of discharge lines. We installed the patented IceGuard® system, an anti-freeze fitting that is installed outside of the home and ejects water away from the foundation if the sump pump discharge lines freeze or become clogged. Once the job was done, our customer was happy to know that her basement had been transformed, and she no longer had to worry about water intrusion! 

A homeowner in Bismarck ND, noticed their driveway was beginning to lower. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner wanted to find professional answers. Once they saw our impressive Better Business Bureau rating, they knew American Waterworks was the company for them. They signed up for their FREE estimate and waited for the arrival of one of our Design Specialists, James. After James arrived at the home, he began a thorough walkthrough of the home and surrounding concrete. Once he completed his walk-through, James determined that the sidewalk was sinking due to soil settlement. To stop the sinking from continuing, James recommended lifting the entire driveway. The homeowner agreed with James' recommendations and the plans were sent to the office for approval. After they were approved, the plans were sent to our Foreman, Charlie, and his crew. Charlie and his crew made their way to the property and began the lift. To lift the driveway, the crew utilized PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. Once the crew successfully lifted the driveway, they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the process and impressed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to lift and level uneven and sunken driveways.

The homeowner agreed with Ian's recommendations, so he passed the plans along to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project.

A homeowner in Bismarck, ND, recently read an article about the dangers of radon, an invisible, odorless gas. Worried about their home's radon levels, the homeowner began looking into "radon testing and abatement near Bismarck, ND". The homeowner sifted through several companies, but only one company stood above the rest, American Waterworks. Impressed with our Radon Mitigation Systems, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their home. Next, the homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent James, one of our Design Specialists, to the home to take a closer look. James traveled to Bismarck and began the radon test. While the test was going on, James was able to find the best radon extraction points in the home. After the test was completed, it showed that the radon levels were alarmingly high. James recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System in the home and the homeowner agreed with his suggestions. Once approved by the homeowner, the plans were passed along to our office to give the final stamp of approval. Once our Logistics team built and scheduled the project, the plans were sent to Jackson, our Radon Sales & Service Technician, to begin. Jackson arrived at the home and began the installation. Jackson installed the Radon Mitigation System on the north side of the home near the front door. Once the Radon Mitigation System was secured, Jackson cleaned up his materials and left the home.

Tasha S. of Bismarck, ND had water seeping into her basement floor on the west side of the home during heavy or light rain. After doing some research on basement waterproofing contractors in her area, she came across American Waterworks and got a FREE Estimate scheduled with our Design Specialist, Ian. Ian went to Tasha's home, inspected her basement problems, and drew up a solution that would suit her needs. She was confident in Ian's proposal, so she moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cameron Phrakonekham, and his production team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain, which is the most common interior drainage system that we provide for homeowners. It prevents water clogs and can collect water seepage from basement walls. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System around the entire basement wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent humidity and mold, cover any open or big voids, and gives the basement a neat appearance. To finish the installation, our crew filled the open-floor gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. The homeowner was very happy with the work that was performed!
