American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from La Crosse, WI, had just learned that his neighbor had his home tested for radon gas. The homeowner knew very little about the dangers of radon gas but decided to find a radon specialist near La Crosse, WI. During his search, he decided to head to a home improvement store to test the levels of radon in his home himself. When he found our website, he was impressed with other radon system installations we had done in his area. He decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later our Design Specialist, Nate B, headed out to the home. 

When Nate arrived, the homeowner informed him that he had tested his home and that the levels had come back higher than average. Nate then inspected the house and found the best place for a radon mitigation system. Nate 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. He went on to say that when installed by an experienced radon specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health agencies. The homeowner liked Nate's suggestion and signed for the project on the spot. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Dakota M, made quick work of the installation. When he had finished, our customer was thrilled to know that the air circulating in his home was radon-free! 

Heather B. had water leaking into her basement and multiple cracked and bowing foundation walls. She wanted to address these problems before they got any worse, so she contacted American Waterworks to receive a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists created a thorough foundation repair and waterproofing plan to restore her basement.

Heather chose to move forward with installing our systems, so our production crew installed our WaterGuard drainage system, our SuperSump sump pump, wall anchors and PowerBraces. The project took two days, and now Heather's basement is permanently protected, and her peace of mind is restored.

Kris R. in Oelwein, IA was suffering from a wet basement. She had been dealing with this challenge for a couple of years and was ready to find a long-term solution. She contacted American Waterworks, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Mac Cole, to her home to inspect the basement and develop a solution. She was impressed with our products and agreed with the proposal, so she set a date to have our waterproofing system installed.

Our production team installed the WaterGuard drainage system around the perimeter of the basement floor and connected it to the TripleSafe sump pump that we installed. After the drainage system and sump pump were installed, we replaced the concrete and cleaned the work area. The installation took two days to complete, but now her peace of mind has been restored and she is confident that her basement will remain dry.

Joe and Carolyn of Oelwein, IA, had begun to notice that the stairs and adjoining porch in front of their home were beginning to sink. The couple was worried that if the problem was left unresolved, the gap forming between the stairs and the home would only worsen, creating a bigger trip hazard and a bigger, and more expensive, problem to fix later down the road. They came across our services and decided to get in contact with us to see what could be done. When they called in, set them up with one of our FREE estimates, and our Design Specialist, Tim, was able to go out to the property and do a thorough inspection. Once he concluded, he was able to inform Joe and Carolyn that they were experiencing this issue because the soil beneath the slabs was sinking because of excess rain or heat, causing the soil to shrink. He recommended the couple fix the issue quickly to avoid any further issues down the line. He recommended they use our PolyLevel injection to raise the concrete back to its former state and follow up with our NexusPro to seal the joints connecting the slab and the home and to seal off any remaining holes or points of entry for water. Our Foreman, Jake, and his crew began the project by strategically drilling holes into the problem concrete slabs. Next, they injected the foam into the holes, paying close attention to the slab as it was lifted. Finally, they sealed off any remaining holes with the NexusPro. 

When the job was complete, Joe and Carolyn were happy they no longer had to worry about trip hazards forming!
