American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Wishek, ND, knew it was time to repair their severely damaged basement. Knowing this would be a larger project, the homeowner wanted to find a local professional to provide them with an answer. After looking into "waterproofing system for basement", one of the first companies to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our stellar ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the perfect company for their project. The homeowner called our Appointment Center to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, James. A few days later, James promptly arrived at the home and began his thorough inspection of the basement. During the inspection, James confirmed that several areas suffered from water intrusion. To prevent the issue from worsening, James recommended fully waterproofing the basement. Knowing this was their best plan of action, the homeowner decided to go with James' proposal. Next, James passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. The project was scheduled for a few weeks later, and it was assigned to our Foreman, Kingsley, and his crew. Once the project date arrived, Kingsley and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Kingsley and his crew installed WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. Once the WaterGuard was secured, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe Sump Pump, one of our elite sump pump systems. After the TripleSafe was secured, the crew attached CleanSpace to the unfinished basement walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a stellar review. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customers' struggling basements. 

A homeowner in Ashley, ND noticed the back foundation wall began to crack in his basement. After attempting alternative home remedies, the homeowner contacted us for a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, James went out to the property to complete his inspection. Once he concluded, he was ready to make recommendations for the home. He wanted to solve the issue by installing the PowerBrace system, to which the homeowner agreed. Franklin and his crew installed 14 of our PowerBraces to stabilize the basement walls. Furthermore, the crew installed the Aprilaire dehumidifier to address excess moisture in the space. Following the installation, the homeowner found peace of mind knowing his foundation walls were secured and the problem was resolved. 

A homeowner from Ashley, ND got in contact with us when they began to notice standing water present in their basement. Wanting to get control of the situation before it could worsen, they decided to reach out to American Waterworks to see what could be done about the situation. Our Design Specialist, Kole, headed to the property to assess the situation. Once he completed his walkthrough, he recommended the use of several products to correct the situation. He informed them that the water entering the space was likely through holes in the failing foundation. Kole wanted to utilize our GeoLock Wall Anchors, CleanSpace system, WaterGuard drain, and our TripleSafe sump pump. He explained that other than the wall anchors, all three waterproofing systems work hand in hand to ensure that the basement stays dry. The Clean Space, a 100% waterproof tarp-like barrier, gets tact to the wall to direct water entering through the block wall, directing it down to the WaterGuard drain system. The WaterGuard, our elite below-ground French drain, works to direct the flow of water to our TripleSafe sump, our most reliable system that provides three levels of protection for your basement and your peace of mind. He finished by saying that our GeoLock anchors would complete the basement and address the foundation issue because it will permanently stabilize your foundation wall by anchoring your walls to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond your foundation. After installation, wall anchors can often be tightened over time to further straighten your foundation walls and pull them back to their original position. The homeowner agreed, and work began a few weeks later. 

Our Foreman and his team made quick work of the installation. In the end, they installed 20 GeoLock anchors, 89 feet of WaterGuard, 1 TripleSafe sump, and another 89 feet of CleanSpace around the basement. Now our customer can enjoy their basement worry free!

Lonnie, from Des Lacs, ND was beginning to notice that his basement was taking on an unusual amount of water. He didn't want to run the risk of doing permanent damage to the property, so he decided to give us a call. We set him up with our FREE estimate and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Richie, headed out to the property to complete his inspection. Once he finished his walkthrough, he made recommendations as to how we could help Lonnie. Richie recommended two of our products. First, he wanted to use our Foamax insulated panels. He explained to Lonnie that our Foamax makes your basement warmer and brighter. The panels create a barrier between the moist air in your basement and the cold surface of the walls, preventing condensation and providing a more comfortable basement. Second, Richie wanted to use our WaterGuard below-floor French drain system. Richie went on to say that this drain gets installed below the floor of the basement, atop of the footing of the foundation, but out of the mud zone where other drains tend to clog.  He finished by saying that this drain will work to collect unwanted water running down the wall and dispose of it in the proper place. Lonnie agreed with the recommendations and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman and his team worked to install all the necessary products. In the end, they installed 192 ft of WaterGuard and another 192 ft of Foamax throughout the basement. Once the job was done, Lonnie was pleased to know he no longer had to worry about a damp basement! 

Dan G. of Burlington, ND has had groundwater issues in the past that have been mitigated, and he was looking for a vapor barrier for his crawl space.

Ian went to Dan's house, carefully inspected his crawl space, and determined a solution that would work for him. Dan was confident in the proposal, so he signed the contract and got a date scheduled for the installation.
