Nathan from Arthur, ND, was beginning to notice interior signs of foundation failure in his basement, in the form of cracks running down his wall. He was afraid that if he left the issue unresolved, he would run the risk of the issue worsening, compromising the structural integrity of the home. He decided to call our office and we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a free inspection of the issue, and recommendation as to how we could help fix it. A few weeks later our Design Specialist headed out to the property to see what could be done. After his walkthrough, our Design Specialist recommended raising the foundation with the help of our Push Pier system. He explained that this system is made of steel and is driven deep into the soil beneath a foundation to solve settlement problems. Push piers can be installed inside or outside your foundation walls and are not visible once the repair is complete. In many scenarios, push piers not only stop settlement but lift the foundation back to its original position, closing cracks and improving window and door operation. Nathan agreed with the recommendation and work began a few weeks later.
Our Foreman, Domenic, and his crew ended up installing 20+ push piers around the exterior of the home, connected to the foundation footing. Once the project was completed, Nathan was happy to know he no longer had to worry about his homes foundation!
A homeowner in Rutland, ND, was concerned about a foul odor coming from their crawl space. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner looked for a crawl space repair company to provide them with an explanation. Following a friend's referral, the homeowner decided to sign up for a FREE estimate with American Waterworks. We sent our Design Specialist, Ian, to the property to find the cause of the issue. Following his in-depth inspection, Ian discovered that the crawl space was unencapsulating, leading to unwanted water in the space which creates wood rot, mold, and mildew. Ian recommended that the crawl space be repaired to prevent any further damage. The homeowners agreed so the solution preparation began. Before the crew's arrival, the homeowners were asked to clear any debris from the crawl space and move the washer. Once the crew arrived, they ensured that the crawl space was cleared and leveled before repairs could start. First, the crew installed CleanSpace on the west, south, and east crawl space floors. As detailed in the plans, the crew was allowed to wrap up the wall as needed with CleanSpace. Once the CleanSpace was installed, the crew moved to apply Sprayfoam along the exterior facing joist pockets. Sprayfoam was applied on a whole wall in the seat crawlspace. The homeowner was pleased with the work done by the crew. If you are experiencing a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!
Doyle H. of Buxton, ND was looking to get work done in his crawl space and wanted it leveled. He saw an American Waterworks foundation repair commercial on television, so he called our office line and got a FREE estimate set up with our Design Specialist, Ian Schultz. Ian went to Doyle's home to inspect the crawl space and determine a solution that would work for him. Ian proposed our SmartJack System which provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams. Doyle was confident in the product and its warranty, so he went ahead with the project and got a date scheduled for the installation.
Our Foreman, Ryan Loe, installed two of our SmartJacks in the crawl space to restore the stability and straightness of the sagging floor joists. Because of its design, it can be adjusted by the homeowner over time to ensure proper stability. Doyle was happy with the work and was thankful we could help him!

A homeowner in Hunter, ND, noticed foul odors coming from the crawlspace in their home. Wanting to get rid of the smell, the homeowner searched for a company to complete the job. After discovering their website and wonderful reviews, the homeowners signed up for a FREE estimate with American Waterworks.

A homeowner in Milnor, ND, noticed odd sounds from their basement. After further investigation, the homeowner discovered the sounds were coming from their sump pump. Worried about the long-term effects, the homeowners knew they needed to find an expert solution. Unsure who to work with, the homeowner began looking into sump pump replacements and companies that provide those services. During their investigation, the homeowner came across our website. Interested in our waterproofing services, the homeowner was impressed with our elite waterproofing products. Additionally, our Radon Mitigation Systems caught the homeowner's eye. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Ian, one of our Design Specialists. Ian made his way to the home and began his thorough investigation of the basement. During his investigation, Ian confirmed the basement required repairs. Additionally, Ian tested the home's radon level and found that it was alarmingly high. Ian recommended installing a Radon Mitigation System to lower the levels. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner agreed with Ian's recommendations. Next, the plans were passed along to our Logisitcs team to approve the plans. Once the plans were approved, the proposal was assigned to our Radon Sales and Service Technician, Jackson. Jackson received the plans and traveled to Milnor to begin the project. First, Jackson installed additional parts to the struggling sump pump. Next, Jackson shifted his focus to installing the Radon Mitigation System. By installing a Radon Mitigation System, it will lower the concentration of radon gas in your home to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA. Jackson installed the entire system on the inside and outside of the home. Once all the products were secured, Jackson cleaned up his materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know their home's radon levels were lowered and at the proper levels. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their radon risk is eliminated.
