American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from River Falls, WI, had been chatting with his neighbor when he learned that the neighbor had his home tested for radon gas. The homeowner didn't know much about radon but figured he should have his home tested for radon just to be on the safe side. He took to the internet to search for 'radon mitigation company near me', and quickly found our website. He was impressed with our radon mitigation system pictures and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Gary S, one of our Design Specialist, was scheduled to stop at the home. 

When Gary arrived, he got right to work placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. The goal of this test is to gauge radon levels over a 48 hour timespan, giving Gary a good idea of the average radon levels within the home at any given time. When Gary finished, he met with the homeowner to discuss next steps. Gary explained that radon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that is emitted from the breakdown of soil surrounding the home. He went on to say that if the levels came back over 4 pCi/L, he would strongly recommend having a radon mitigation system installed. A typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon abatement system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner agreed with Gary's recommendation but decided to wait for the radon levels to return before making a choice. A few days later, the results returned with much higher than normal levels. So the homeowner called Gary and the two worked together to find a good day for the system to be installed. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Geno M, and his team were able to install the system with no complications. Now, our homeowner can be confident that the air he and his family were breathing was as clean as possible! 

Lisa J. in Prescott, WI had water seeping into her crawl space. She noticed a musty smell and was concerned about the air quality as well as the potential damage it could cause to her home. A home inspector recommended using American Waterworks to help with her waterproofing needs. She gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to her home to give her a FREE estimate. She felt that Chad's proposal fit her needs, so she scheduled an installation date.

Our production team installed CleanSpace, Terra Block, SilverGlo, rim joist insulation around the perimeter of the crawl space, a SaniDry dehumidifier and a SmartDrain sump pump. This combination of crawl space waterproofing products ensures that Lisa is now protected from any water or critters coming in. Her crawl space is now a dry, clean and healthy space.

A homeowner in Prescott, WI, got in touch with us when she noticed that her concrete driveway was sinking, causing a separation between the driveway and garage floor. Not wanting the issue to worsen, she decided to call American Waterworks. We set her up with our FREE estimate, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Kyle P, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

After Kyle completed his inspection, he informed the homeowner that she could fix her sinking issue with our PolyLevel solution. He went on to say that our PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when its injected under concrete slabs, slowly lifting the slabs back into place. The final part of our lifting solution is installing our NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant that is applied to the cracks and joints of the concrete to prevent anything from getting under the slab, potentially compromising the lift. The homeowner agreed and work was scheduled for a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman, Troy, and his team made quick work of the installation and when the job was done, our customer was thrilled to know her sinking concrete worries were in the past! 

A homeowner in Kanawha, IA, was worried their foundation crack was going to cause serious issues to their home. Concerned this could cause structural damage to their home, the homeowner began looking into foundation repair near Kanawha, IA. The homeowner looked into "fix basements in Iowa" and one of the first companies to show up was us, American Waterworks. After taking a closer look at our services, the homeowner was impressed with our work. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Brady, to the home to begin the detailed inspection. Brady traveled to the home and began the thorough inspection of the basement. During his investigation, Brady determined the north wall was struggling the most and required stabilization. Brady was able to come up with a solution that would permanently stabilize the wall, so he presented his proposal to the homeowner. Once the homeowner heard the proposal, they knew it was the best option for their home. Brady sent the proposal to our office to receive the final stamp of approval. After our Logistics team approved the plans, they scheduled it with our Foreman, Chris, and his crew. As soon as they received the plans, Chris and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First, Chris and his crew installed 12 GeoLock Wall Anchors along the north wall. The crew secured the interior and exterior anchors to ensure the wall would stay stable. Once all the GeoLocks were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a kind review. American Waterworks is happy to repair your struggling foundation walls. 

Bruce W. in Ellendale, MN noticed that his concrete on his driveway was uneven in a couple of spots and was interested in making repairs and cosmetic changes to his home, starting with his driveway and sidewalk. His goal was to have the driveway completely level and have the cracks sealed. After researching concrete repair contractors and receiving estimates, he decided to have American Waterworks repair his concrete.

Our concrete repair experts drilled small holes into the concrete to inject a polymer foam called PolyLevel. Once the foam is injected into the concrete, the foam expands and raises it. They injected the foam into multiple spots throughout the driveway and sidewalk until the concrete was raised and level to its original position. Then, they sealed the cracks with our NexusPro sealant to protect the concrete and give it a nice, finished look. The process only took a couple of hours, and Bruce was very pleased with the results!
