American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Onalaska, WI, had heard lots of his friends and neighbors talk about having their home tested for radon gas. The homeowner didn't know much about the dangers of radon gas but decided to educate himself on the topic. After finding out that radon is a radioactive gas released during the breakdown of soil around a home's foundation, he decided it might be in his best interest to consider having his home tested. One day he saw one of our print ads in a local shopper, informing him that we offer radon testing and mitigation. He called the next day and scheduled his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nate B, was headed out to the home. When Nate arrived, he began the inspection by placing a continuous radon monitoring test in the lowest level of the home. This test works to gauge and record radon levels in the home for 48 hours, delivering average radon levels when the test is complete. After Nate finished the rest of his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to go over his recommendations. Nate began by saying that if the levels in the home returned higher than 4 pCi/L, he would recommend installing a radon mitigation system. A typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. When installed by an experienced radon mitigation specialist, a radon mitigation system will lower the concentration of radon gas in your interior air to the minimal levels recommended by the EPA and other health and safety agencies. The homeowner was impressed with Nate's approach, and the two decided to touch base once the results of the test were back. 48 hours later, Nate returned to the home to read the results, which returned much higher than the EPA's recommended 4 pCi/L. The two then worked to find the best day for the project to be installed. 

A month or so later, our Foreman, Geno M, and his Co-Foreman, Gus R, were headed out to the home to install the system. When they finished the project, our customer was thrilled to know that he was one step closer to fresh air circulating his home!

A homeowner in Onalaska, WI, noticed an odd noise coming from their basement. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner decided to take a closer look. After investigating further, the homeowner decided to take a closer look. After taking a closer look, the homeowner discovered the noise was coming from their sump pump. Worried this was a sign of a serious issue, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. The homeowner looked into "best home sump pumps" and one of the first companies to catch their eyes was us, American Waterworks. After seeing our elite sump pump line up, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of our Design Specialist, Chuck. A few days later, Chuck promptly arrived at the home and started inspecting the struggling sump pump. Chuck confirmed the sump pump was out of date and needed to be replaced. The homeowner knew this was their best action plan, so they decided to go ahead with the proposal. Next, Chuck sent the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. Our Logistics team promptly built the project, then it was set for a few months later. When the installation date arrived, our Foreman, Lane, and his crew traveled to the home and began the installation. First, Lane and his crew started by taking out the old sump pump. Next, the crew installed WaterGuard along the basement perimeter. Finally, the crew installed the TripleSafe where the old sump pump was. After all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was relieved to know they have one of the best sump pumps on the market. American Waterworks is happy to provide the homeowner's peace of mind. 

A homeowner in Onalaska, WI, knew it was time to lift their dramatically sunken steps. Worried this could become a major tripping hazard, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution. Hoping to avoid total concrete replacement, the homeowner looked into "polylevel concrete repair near me". At the top of the list stood us, American Waterworks, so the homeowner decided to take a closer look at our services. Impressed with our eye-catching before and afters, the homeowner knew we were the ideal company for their project. Since they were already on our website, the homeowner decided tos ign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Will, to the home to take a closer look. Will promptly arrived at the home and began thoroughly inspecting the basement. During the details inspection, Will confirmed the steps were sinking due to settlement. To prevent the settlement from continuing, Will recommended lifting the steps back to their original position with PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. Since it avoided total concrete replacement, the homeowner knew this was the best option for them. Next, Will passed the proposal to our Logistics team to give the final stamp of approval. Our Logistics team built and scheduled the project for the following weeks. Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Sam, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Sam and his crew lifted the stairs and sidewalk using PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution. After the steps were lifted back into place, Sam and his crew shifted to filling the cracks and replacing the joints with NexusPro, a silicone-based solution. Once all the products were installed, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was delighted with the excellent work completed by the crew, so they left a five-star review. American Waterworks is happy to eliminate tripping hazards around its customers' homes. 

A homeowner in Merrillan, WI was having trouble with some old windows in their basement.  Every time it rained, the windows would leak water into the basement. The homeowner was tired of cleaning it up and needed a more permanent solution. They decided to call American Waterworks to find a fix to the problem!

We were able to prevent any further water damage to their basement by installing several new windows.  In addition to the windows, American Waterworks also installed several Sunhouses that go over the window outside. It made their basement a brighter, more pleasant space in their home.  

Larry M. in La Crescent, MN had a bowing foundation wall in his basement. He was concerned that his wall was no longer stable and that it was putting pressure on the foundation of the home. He knew how expensive it can be to replace and entire foundation, so he decided he needed to have a professional take a look and see what his options were. One of our Design Specialists, Rick Weber, went onsite to give him a free estimate. Rick recommended installing 5 Geo-Lock wall anchors on Larry's bowing foundation wall. 

Larry was pleased to discover that our wall anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, which made him comfortable having them installed. Larry could already see the difference in stability of that wall once the anchors were tightened. Larry now has peace of mind knowing his wall has been permanently been secured and stabilized.
