American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A Decorah, IA, homeowner was in the process of transforming their unfinished basement into a living space. For the project to be code-compliant, the homeowner learned that they needed to have a means of egress in the basement. The homeowner took to the internet to look for an 'egress window well near me' and quickly found American Waterworks. After viewing other egress jobs we had done in the area, the homeowner decided to claim his FREE, no-obligation estimate. 

Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan M, headed out to the home to perform his inspection. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to go over his findings. Ryan informed him that we could certainly add an egress window in the basement of the home. Our RockWell window wells offer an attractive alternative to ugly window wells while providing a safe, code-compliant basement egress. These window wells are a one-piece, rigid construction that will not collapse from backfill or allow water to leak through the wall walls. They're UV stable, rust, and rot-proof, and stand up to extreme temperatures. RockWell's egress windows feature durable, built-in steps that make it easy for your family to escape from your basement in the event of an emergency. A polycarbonate safety cover keeps leaves and debris out while allowing natural light and fresh air to enter the space. Finally, RockWell has mimicked the look of real stone so you don't have to look out of your new basement windows at a plastic-looking well. The homeowner was impressed with Ryan's approach and signed on the spot for the project. 

A month or so later, our Foreman, Juan P, and his team were headed out to the home to install the egress window well. When they had finished the project, the basement was adorned with a new egress window well and our homeowner was thrilled to know his project could continue on schedule! 

A homeowner in Decorah, IA, was beginning a basement remodel. While in the beginning stages, the homeowner noticed signs of water damage throughout their basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find a lasting solution to their issue. The homeowner began looking into “basement repair near me” and one of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks. Impressed with our 5-star ratings and reviews, the homeowner knew we were the best option for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to go ahead and sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan, to the home to take a closer look. After he arrived, Ryan introduced himself to the homeowner and began the detailed estimate of the foundation. During his inspection, Ryan found that the walls were beginning to bow and the leak. To stop both these issues from continuing, Ryan recommended installing several products throughout the basement. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with Ryan’s proposal. As soon as the proposal was finalized, it was sent to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team scheduled the project for the following month. Once the project date arrived, our assigned Foreman, Luis, and his crew traveled to the home to begin. After they arrived, Luis and his crew started by installing WaterGuard around the basement perimeter. While the WaterGuard was being installed, the crew shifted their focus to taking out the old sump pump and replacing it with the TripleSafe sump pump. Next, the crew attached CarbonArmor to the weakening basement walls. As soon as the CarbonArmor was secured the crew was secured, the crew shifted their focus to attaching CleanSpace to the basement walls. After all the products were secured, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was impressed with the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to provide their homeowners peace of mind knowing their basement is dry and secure.

Tom O. in Taylor, WI was suffering from a wet basement. Water was seeping through the block foundation and pooling on the floor. He did his research and contacted American Waterworks for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists met with Tom, evaluated the situation, and proposed a solution to fit his needs. Tom approved of the plan and scheduled the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his production crew removed the concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor, laid the WaterGuard drainage system, installed our recommended TripleSafe sump pump, and then filled back the gaps with rock. The discharge line was installed in the yard and they replaced the concrete in the basement. The process only took one day to complete, and Tom is glad he made the investment to protect his basement. 

Julie and Brian B. of Taylor, WI had water leaking into their basement, making them worry about water damage, flooding hazards, and other problems. They knew of an employee at American Waterworks, so they set up a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Tim Schneider. Tim went to their home, carefully inspected their basement, and came up with a solution that worked for them and their home repair needs. They were confident in Tim's drawn out design and his proposal, so they signed the contract and followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Kiko Pena, and his production team began the installation by breaking out the concrete perimeter with a jackhammer, forming a waterway trench. In the trench, our team installed 146 feet of our WaterGuard System, which is made to collect water seepage from basement walls, prevent water clogs, and serve as an underground drain in connection to the sump pump. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall Vapor Barrier around the basement wall perimeter. Our CleanSpace System is made to prevent mold and humidity, keep water from invading the basement, and direct leaking water into the WaterGuard. To complete the installation, Kiko and his crew covered all the open gaps with river rock and applied new concrete over it, leaving the basement looking much neater than when they found it. Julie and Brian were grateful we were able to help them and were amazed by the transformation!

Jamie B. of Dakota, MN had water seeping into their basement, and they wanted to install a system that would solve their water problems. They got in contact with our office line and scheduled a FREE estimate with one of our Design Specialists. Our Design Specialist went to their home, looked through their basement, and examined all the water leaks. After a thorough inspection, our Design Specialist proposed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier and our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain. Jamie was impressed with the products and their warranties, so they moved forward with the project and got a date scheduled for the installation. 

Our Foreman and his production team began the installation by jackhammering out the concrete of the basement floor perimeter, forming a waterway trench. Our team installed our WaterGuard Below-Floor Drain in the trench, which is made to collect water leakage from basement walls, prevent water and mud clogs, and it has easily accessible service ports for annual maintenances. Next, our team installed our CleanSpace Wall System Vapor Barrier, which is made to prevent mold and humidity, act as an extra wall protectant, and give the basement a neat and bright finish. To finish the project, our team filled the open-floor gaps with rock and pea gravel and applied a new layer of concrete over them to ensure the space was neat and tidy. Jamie was satisfied with the work that was done and was beautified by the transformation!
