Hidden Discharge Line in West Salem, WI

Our crew was installing a WaterGuard waterproofing system for a homeowner in West Salem, WI.  The crew did such a great job on the discharge line that the homeowner wouldn't even know we were there.  

Sinking Walkway Gets a Lift in West Salem, WI

A West Salem, WI homeowner contacted us when he took a nasty tumble over a piece of uneven concrete leading up to an outer door. He didn't want anyone else to get hurt, so he decided to call us and set up his FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ross, headed out to the home. 

Once Ross completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner and informed him that we could fix the sinking walkway with the help of our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a dense, polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back into place. The homeowner liked the sound of the plan and decided to schedule the project for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Sam, and his team completed the lift with no complications. Now, our customer can walk on their walkways with confidence, knowing trip hazards have been dealt with.

Radon Gas Levels Mitigated in West Salem, WI

A West Salem, WI, homeowner was surfing the web one day when she stumbled upon an article about radon gas. She read about the hazards that radon gas poses to a household and that the Midwest has some of the highest radon levels in the US due to the geological makeup of the area. The homeowner decided to locate a radon specialist in Wisconsin. Through an internet search, she found our website. She was impressed with our radon gas mitigation system images and decided to sign up for our FREE estimate. While she waited for her appointment, she headed to her local home improvement store to purchase an at-home radon monitoring test. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ross J, was scheduled to head out to the home. When he arrived, he learned that the homeowner had conducted a home test which had indicated higher-than-average radon levels. So, Ross began his appointment looking for the appropriate place to out a mitigation system. When he finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner. Ross explained that 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 was impressed with Ross's solution and signed on the spot. 

The day of the installation eventually rolled around. Our Foreman, Geno, and his team wasted no time getting to work installing the system. After a long day for our crew, our customer was delighted to know that she could put her faith in the air her and her family were breathing in each day! 

 

Bowing Basement Wall Fixed in West Salem, WI

A homeowner from West Salem, WI, had been worried about his basement walls for some time now. Over the years, the homeowner had watched as the walls slowly cracked in various places, leading the wall to bow inward. Not wanting the issue to worsen, the homeowner decided to find a foundation repair company in Wisconsin to help. Through the recommendation of a friend, the homeowner signed up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later Mac C, one of our Design Specialists, was out to the home. 

Mac diligently inspected the entire house, paying close attention to the basement walls. When he concluded, he met with the homeowner and informed him that foundation walls are designed to withstand loads from the top, not from the side. So when the pressure on the side of the wall exceeds what the wall can withstand, it's not uncommon for homeowners to see cracking, bowing, sliding in at the bottom, and/or tilting inward at the top. Mac then went on to say that he had the perfect solution, our PowerBrace system. Mac explained that PowerBraces are a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner agreed with the proposed work and set a date for the installation. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Francisco E, and his team arrived bright and early at the home. After a long day, the team had effortlessly installed 6 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement on the affected walls. Now, our customer can rest a bit easier at night knowing that his foundation has the proper line of defense! 

 

Crawl Space Maintenance in West Salem, WI

A homeowner in West Salem, WI, noticed a musty odor throughout their home. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner looked into "causes of musty odor in homes". The homeowner learned the cause of the unpleasant odor was their crawl space. Hoping to solve the issue before the winter, the homeowner began looking into "crawl space maintenance near me". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Will, to the home to take a closer look at the crawl space. Will promptly arrived and began his detailed investigation of the crawl space. After he completed the inspection, Will determined the entire space needed to be encapsulated. Will presented his proposal to the homeowners and they decided to go along with the plan. Next, Will passed the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team scheduled the project for the following weeks. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Lane, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Lane and his crew made sure the space was cleared for the installation. Next, Lane and his crew installed Drainage Matting on the basement floor. Once the Drainage Matting was secured, Lane and his team attached CleanSpace to the crawl space walls and floors. Finally, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to repair its customer's damaged crawl spaces.
