American Waterworks Before & After Photos

Tammy E. in Houston, MN had water seeping into her basement through cracks in the floor. She also noticed a foul smell and some rust-colored stains. She contacted American Waterworks, and we sent our Design Specialist, Mike Radosevich, to her home to evaluate her situation. He discovered that Tammy had a buildup of iron ochre in her old sump pump. He explained that it is not a known health hazard but can quickly clog a French drain system. He presented her with our WaterGuard IOS Perimeter Drain Channel, which is ideal for managing this problem. Tammy was impressed with Mike’s presentation and our products and moved forward with an installation date. 

Our Foreman, Austin Lucas, and his production crew were able to permanently waterproof Tammy’s basement by installing 209 feet of our WaterGuard IOS System. The wide-open design of the drain helps it resist clogs, while a removable lid allows for easy access and maintenance. Then, the crew installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard properly drains water to the sump pump and from there, the water is pumped through the discharge line and expelled from the home. Tammy was impressed with the installation, and is happy knowing that her problem is solved and her basement is dry! 

Kevin L. in Galesville, WI had dealt with a wet basement for the last 40 years, and he was finally tired of it. He did his research and learned that American Waterworks has been the leading waterproofing contractor in the region for the last 30 years. He met with one of our Design Specialists, Eric Hazelton, who evaluated the situation and designed a unique solution. 

Our Foreman, Cole Brinkman, and his production crew were able to successfully waterproof Kevin’s basement by installing 160 feet of our WaterGuard drainage system and our recommended TripleSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard French drain is designed to be installed below the floor slab, resting on top of the foundation footing. This keeps this drainage system out of the "mud zone", where drains can clog. Kevin is happy he found a permanent solution to protect his home. 

In Willard, WI a homeowner was unhappy with the way the concrete of their porch area looked after many years of being worn down from outside elements. They decided to take action and fix the problem rather than leave it untouched for another summer. Having heard some recommendations and favor towards American Waterworks and their services, they decided to give us a call and learn more. They were pleased to discover our FREE estimate service that is offered to all customers and waited eagerly for their scheduled appointment. One of our Design Specialists, Charles Haldeman, arrived at the home to take a look at what could be done. He suggested to the homeowners that our PolyLevel and NexusPro products would be the best way to tackle the problem. He explained that PolyLevel is a high-density polyurethane formula that stabilizes and lifts sinking concrete slabs. Additionally, the NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that seals joints and cracks in the concrete slabs and helps prevent the water from softening and/or eroding the soil underneath. Once a plan was in place to move forward with the two products, one of our Foreman, Sam Klennert, and his crew left for the site to make the installations. A seamless installation led to a similarly seamless concrete porch area for the homeowners.

Adam W. in Mabel, MN had a cracked basement wall that had gotten worse over the course of just a few months. His block foundation had a large horizontal crack and it was starting to bow. He was concerned about the pressure it was putting on the foundation of his home, so he gave American Waterworks a call for a FREE estimate.

We sent one of our Design Specialists, Michael Radosevich, to inspect Adam’s foundation problem and to design a solution. Michael answered Adam’s questions and addressed his concerns before designing a unique proposal that would best fit his needs. Adam was pleased with the proposal that Michael presented to him, so they scheduled a date for the installation.

Our production team installed 4 wall anchors through the cracked wall in his basement. The anchor rods are drilled deep into the soil out side of the home and wall plates are installed on either end of the rod to secure the anchor. Then, they tighten the anchor which begins the process of straightening the wall. Our wall anchors permanently stabilized Adam’s foundation wall, and our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, so Adam can rest easy knowing that he chose the right solution to repair his foundation.

Lesley E. in Trempealeau, WI had 3 concrete slabs on her sidewalk up to the house that had become uneven and had started to chip.  She wanted to find a non-invasive and affordable way to repair the concrete so she started researching contractors in her area. She came across American Waterworks and was interested in learning more about our PolyLevel foam concrete repair solution. She gave us a call and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Kevin McWithey, to her home to give her a FREE onsite estimate. 

She was pleased to learn that PolyLevel is a faster and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair, while still being durable, so she set a date for the installation. One of our PolyLevel experts, Jared Wroblewski, drilled penny-size holes into the concrete slabs where he needed to inject the foam. He then injected the foam until the concrete was raised and leveled back to its original position. Lastly, he filled the cracks with our Nexus Pro sealant. The entire process took about two hours, and now Lesley can enjoy a level front porch and walkway for years to come!
