American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Lisa G. of Hampton, MN had bowed foundation walls in her basement, causing her to worry about the structural build of her home. Our Service Technician, Mitchell Sobotta, was at her home for an annual maintenance and talked to her about our PowerBrace Wall Repair System for her foundation problems. She felt confident in the product and what it could do for her home, so she went ahead and scheduled an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Spencer Garland, and his production team installed eight of our PowerBraces, which are steel beams that are made to keep bowing walls at bay. The PowerBrace System is designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. Along with that, PowerBraces include a zinc-coating that protects it from corrosion. Lisa was happy with the repairs and was grateful she did not have to worry about further foundation failure.

A homeowner in Hampton, MN, noticed the wood on the ceiling of their basement was rotting. Concerned by this discovery, the homeowner wanted to have a professional inspect the status of the basement. The homeowner was searching for a professional to complete the inspection and came across us, American Waterworks. After going onto our website and signing up for their FREE estimate, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Mac. Once he arrived, Mac began evaluating the basement. Mac determined that the home's main level floors needed to be stabilized and came up with a recommended solution for the homeowners. After hearing multiple versions of the solution, the homeowners picked the best fit for their home. Next, the plans were sent to the assigned crew. Our Foreman, Victor, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. The crew started by installing a main wood 6x6 beam across the center of the basement, to replace the rotting wood on the basement ceiling. Once the crew replaced the main beam, they placed five SmartJacks into the correct position. The SmartJacks reinforcement system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams. After the crew successfully installed the SmartJacks, they cleaned up their site and moved on to their next project. The homeowners were happy to know their floors were professionally stabilized. American Waterworks is happy to help our customers make their homes more safe. 

A homeowner in Cannon Falls, MN requested that American Waterworks check their crawlspace for the presence of Radon after reading up on the side effects of this toxic gas.

 After receiving the news that their test came back at 8.4 pCi/L, the Shepards decided it was best to encapsulate their crawlspace with a vapor barrier known as CleanSpace.

The CleanSpace barrier will block most of the movement of radon from the soil into the crawlspace and our radon mitigation system will reduce any of the remaining presence of the gas that is entering through cracks in the foundation, plumbing, etc.

Candace M. of Cannon Falls, MN had a sagging ceiling, causing him to worry about the structural support of her home. She had American Waterworks come out to her home and inspect the sagging floors. Once that was complete, our team proposed our SmartJacks, which are designed to support floor beams and stabilize sagging joists. Candace was confident in our SmartJacks, so she scheduled a date for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed two of our SmartJacks to repair the problem. Give us a call today to schedule your FREE estimate.

A resident in Fredericksburg, IA had water leaking through the floor of their basement, causing issues such as water damage and moisture build-up. They saw American Waterworks on Google and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist team. Our Design Specialist went to their house, carefully inspected their water problems, and drew out a couple of solutions that would serve their needs. The homeowner was confident in one of the proposals so he went ahead with the project and wrote out a deposit check. 

Our production Foreman and his team began the project by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer. In broken out trench, our team installed our WaterGuard Drainage System. Our WaterGuard is a special interior drainage system that collects leaking water from walls, prevents water clogs, and stays out of the "mud zone." Next, our team performed a Half Wall Demo and broke out the bottom half of the basement wall, and installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier. Our CleanSpace is made to prevent water moisture and humidity, act as an extra wall protectant, and save money on energy bills. To complete the project, our Foreman and his crew filled all the open gaps with pea gravel and poured new concrete over them.
