American Waterworks Before & After Photos

This homeowner had cracked windows that were leaking water into her basement whenever it rained. She decided to call American Waterworks to install her new waterproofing system and basement windows.

No more cracked windows or wet basement for this homeowner in Decorah, IA!

Lloyd H. in Decorah, IA had cracked foundation walls in his basement. He was concerned about the pressure this was putting on his home and he wanted to take care of it before the problem got any worse. He contacted American Waterworks and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Pete Wangen, to his home to design the right solution. Lloyd was pleased with our proposal, so he scheduled for us to repair his foundation.

Our Foreman, Jose Castillo, and his crew installed wall anchors along the cracked and bowing walls which immediately prevented the walls from further deterioration. As they tightened the anchors, the walls began to straighten. Lloyd is glad he chose to protect his home by installing wall anchors. He no longer has to worry about his foundation failing.

Sarah F. in Decorah, IA was experiencing dampness in her finished basement, and her old sump pump was failing. She was concerned about the damage that it was causing to her home and was worried that the air quality was being compromised, so she contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists to her home to evaluate the situation and propose a unique solution to fit her needs. Sarah approved of the plan and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our production crew got to work and installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. Our TripleSafe is backed by three layers of protection and is our most reliable sump pump. Then, the crew installed our SaniDry XP Dehumidifier to control the humidity. Sarah is glad she made the investment to protect her basement for the long-term.

Rebecca S. of Decorah, IA had water leaking into her basement for several years and she wanted to get it looked at and fixed up before it got any worse. She got in contact with our office staff and scheduled a free estimate with our Design Specialist, Rick. Rick went to her home, carefully inspected the problems she was having, and drew up a solution that worked for her and her home repair needs. She was confident in Rick's proposal, so followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Tremaine, and his production team started the installation by breaking out the concrete floor perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System, which is made to prevent water clogs and collect water leakage from basement walls. Next, our crew installed our FoamMax Wall Panels around the wall perimeter, which makes the walls look clean, provides comfort to the home, and reduces condensation for moisture protection. To complete the project, Tremaine and his team filled the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over them. Rebecca was thrilled with the work and had a great experience from start to finish!

Alyssa R. of Decorah, IA had a deteriorating foundation wall, causing the cracks and holes to get bigger and bigger. She wanted a professional to come and take a look at it, so she got in contact with our office staff and she scheduled a FREE estimate. Our Design Specialist, Rick Weber, went to Alyssa's home, inspected her issues, and proposed our ShotLock System for the repairs. Our ShotLock is a special spray-on solution that rebuilds deteriorating walls and is twice as strong as standard concrete. Alyssa was confident in the product and its features, so she got a date scheduled for the installation.

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his crew applied 28 feet of our ShotLock around the foundation wall perimeter. The job took about two days and Alyssa was thrilled with the completed work!
