American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Merrillan, WI was having trouble with some old windows in their basement.  Every time it rained, the windows would leak water into the basement. The homeowner was tired of cleaning it up and needed a more permanent solution. They decided to call American Waterworks to find a fix to the problem!

We were able to prevent any further water damage to their basement by installing several new windows.  In addition to the windows, American Waterworks also installed several Sunhouses that go over the window outside. It made their basement a brighter, more pleasant space in their home.  

Larry M. in La Crescent, MN had a bowing foundation wall in his basement. He was concerned that his wall was no longer stable and that it was putting pressure on the foundation of the home. He knew how expensive it can be to replace and entire foundation, so he decided he needed to have a professional take a look and see what his options were. One of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, went onsite to give him a free estimate. Rick recommended installing 5 Geo-Lock wall anchors on Larry's bowing foundation wall. 

Larry was pleased to discover that our wall anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, which made him comfortable having them installed. Larry could already see the difference in stability of that wall once the anchors were tightened. Larry now has peace of mind knowing his wall has been permanently been secured and stabilized.

Kay H. in La Crescent, MN had water leaking into her basement. She was concerned about the high humidity and the damage it was causing. She saw advertising on one of our vehicles in her area and decided to give us a call. She met with one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, who inspected the home and proposed a permanent solution. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew began the waterproofing project by first removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and installing our WaterGuard drainage system. Then, they installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump, which is backed by three levels of protection. Any water is now guided through the WaterGuard to the sump pump, and from there, is expelled from the home. Lastly, our SaniDry dehumidifier was put in place to take care of any humidity. Kay was happy with the project and glad her basement is now a dry, clean space. 

Kelly S. in La Crescent, MN contacted American Waterworks after being referred by another contractor. The home had an old sump pump that was unable to keep up with heavy rains and snow melt. She had water leaking into her basement, and she wanted a permanent solution. She met with Pete Wangen, one of our Design Specialists, who worked with Kelly to create a custom plan for her home. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production crew began the project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and through the  middle of the floor, then laying our WaterGuard drainage system. Next, they hung our CleanSpace vapor barrier along the walls to further protect the space from moisture and mold. Then, they filled back the gaps in the floor with rock before replacing the concrete and cleaning up their work area. Kelly was pleased with the results and glad she made the investment to protect her home.

Brian O. in La Crescent, MN contacted American Waterworks after being referred to us by a previous satisfied customer. He was interested in our foundation repair and waterproofing products, so we sent one of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, to meet with him and present our services. Brian was impressed with Rick’s evaluation and proposal, and he moved forward with the project. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production crew were able to successfully stabilize Brian’s basement walls by installing 32 of our CarbonArmor strips along the perimeter of the foundation. The CarbonArmour system utilizes epoxy and carbon fiber strips to strengthen the foundation walls. Next, the crew began the waterproofing project by removing the concrete around the perimeter of the basement and through the middle of the floor to install the 140 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system and feed line. Then, the crew filled back the gaps with rock, replaced the concrete, and cleaned up their work area. Brian is happy with the results and confident that he chose the best solution for his home!
