Charles, a homeowner in Waldorf, MN needed guidance in solving his water and radon issues. After scheduling his FREE estimate, our Design Specialist Lance headed out to the property for an inspection. He explained radon is a hazardous, invisible, and odorless gas that is the second leading cause of lung cancer behind cigarette smoking. Lance suggested having a new extraction point installed to depressurize the home. He explained that once the system was installed, it would work to pull Radon from the house, pipe it upwards through venting, and push it out and away from the home. Lance also walked Charles through our waterproofing WaterGuard system. This particular system is typically used in basements and is the premier choice for basement waterproofing as it is installed below the floor, but rests atop the foundation, keeping it out of the "mud zone", making it harder to clog. Charles agreed with Ian's recommendation, and work began shortly after.
Our Foreman, Cameron, and his crew quickly and efficiently installed the system. First, 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. The team then covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. Then, the SuperSump Plus. In addition, the plan was to add a discharge line to ensure the radon went up and out of the house.
Our team connected PVC piping from the sump pump to the ceiling and out of the home, where our team installed the system. The mitigation system is the heart of the system; if it isn't working properly, no radon can escape the home. Once they installed the system and its cover outside the home, they connected PVC piping from the system alongside the home until it reached the roof. The radon was able to escape the home quickly and efficiently. Charles was glad he got this taken care of, and his peace of mind was restored knowing he was breathing in safe air.
A homeowner in Waldorf, MN, noticed their basement was suffering from water intrusion. Worried about the lasting effects, the homeowner knew they needed to find an expert to provide them with a solution. The homeonwer looked into "basement waterproofing services near me" and one of the first companies to grab their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our five-star ratings, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Dylan, to the home to take a closer look. Dylan promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection. During his inspection, Dylan noted that several areas were suffering from water intrusion. To prevent this issue from worsening, Dylan recommended installing several waterproofing products throughout the basement. Knowing this was the best plan of action, the homeonwer agreed with Dylan's recommendations and worked with him to find the best installation date. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Kevin, and his crew started by securing WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump. Finally, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. Once all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their matierals and left the home. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their basement was properly protected from future water intrusion.
A Waldorf, MN, homeowner had been experiencing something odd with his basement in recent weeks. After purchasing a new home, the homeowner noticed that the basement of the home was unusually humid. Curious about the potential cause, the homeowner began his own research. After learning that a humid basement can be a sign of a leak or moisture issue, the homeowner began the search for a solution. After doing more research, he found American Waterworks. He was impressed with our product lineup and decided to sign up for his FREE estimate.
Several weeks later our Design Specialist, Dylan, was out at the home. Dylan performed his thorough inspection and then met back up with the homeowner to discuss solutions. Dylan informed the homeowner that his suspicions were correct; the basement had a water intrusion issue. He recommended our SuperSump sump pump system. Dylan explained that the SuperSump is an economical, yet effective solution to removing water from basements. It's engineered to help keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time, even in times of heavy intrusion. The homeowner was pleased with Dylan's recommendation, and the two began working on an installation date.
Once the project was complete, the homeowner was thrilled to know that his new investment was properly defended against water intrusion!
A snowstorm happened in Waldorf, MN, causing inches of snow to pile around the home. With warmer weather ahead, the homeowner knew all the snow would melt and enter their basement. Wanting to be one step ahead, the homeowner began looking into basement waterproofing contractors around the area and found us. After browsing our website and becoming impressed by our reviews, the homeowner contacted our Appointment Center to schedule their FREE estimate.
In less than a week, our Design Specialist, Dylan W., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, Dylan took note of the areas where water leaks were present. After reporting his findings to the homeowner, Dylan began working on a detailed solution to waterproof the basement. He recommended installing SuperSump+, our reliable sump pump system capable of removing 2,200 gallons of water per hour, and IceGuard, our anti-freeze discharge line that allows water to escape in freezing temperatures to prevent sump pump burnout. After looking over the proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.
In about a month, our Foreman, Diego B., arrived at the home to install the waterproofing system. Once this was completed, the crew cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Jennifer S. of Dassel, MN had a wet, damp, and musty crawl space, causing problems such as mold, wood rot, and water moisture, and her friend referred American Waterworks for the repairs. She called our office and set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Michel Ramirez. Michel went to his home, carefully inspected the crawl space, and drew up a solution that worked for her and her budget. She was confident with Michel's proposal and got all of her questions answered, so she signed the proposal and moved forward with the project.
Our Foreman, Geno Mclain, and his crew member began the installation by cleaning out the crawl space and starting from the back of the crawl space to the front. Our team installed 896 square feet of our CleanSpace Encapsulation Moisture Barrier, which is a durable, white liner that prevents water vapor and humidity from invading the crawl space. Along with the prevention of mold and rot, a dry, clean crawl space keeps away odors and prevents the heat and cold from entering during the winter and summer seasons. The project took one and a half days, and Jennifer was pleased with the work that was completed!
